Passed - 25/06/2010 Learning to drive with Karen was one of the best things I have ever done, she is calm, patient and friendly. Karen is always clear with what she wants me to do and explains how and why whenever I ask. I have gained a great deal from learning to drive-I have achieved my goal of passing my driving test-I have gained the experience necessary to enable me to drive safely and confidently.Karen made learning to drive fun and relaxed, making each lesson something... to look forward too. Every lesson I learnt something new which helped me to pass my test first time round, with only 4 minors. Driving with Karen was always eventful; she is easy to get on with but also can be serious when you need it. I would highly recommend this driving school, because of the fantastic support that you receive while learning to drive. Thank you so much Karen, I couldn't have done it without you! Hopefully see you on the roads! :) See More Read Less

Made learning to drive a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Was given the exact skills and confidence needed, aswell as a great friendship. Mirrors (Karen) is a very special driving school and gave me so much more than simply the skills to drive and pass my test. I have learnt an incredible amount to better myself in many more situations I find myself in and would recommend to anyone no matter what skill or confidence level Read Less

Well... its going to be hard to put all this into words... Karen is such a fantastic driving instructor who really takes pride in her job and her passion for teaching is wonderful. Everyone learns differently and Karen quickly understood how I learn (from looking at things being done) She adapted her teaching to make it easier for me to understand. I was struggling with other driving instructors until I met Karen which from the first lesson, learnt so much! I would with my h...eart recommend Karen to anyone, she is certainly the best in Country Durham! She teaches you safe driving for life - not just for the test. If you are hard of hearing, Karen is the right person to teach! I am going to miss our lessons and memories. See More Read Less

I passed my test with Karen first time. I highly recommend Karen as a driving instructor. She focuses on the parts of learning to drive that you are struggling with in a very patient friendly way structuring each lesson to suit each person and she makes sure you are fully prepared for your test. Karen made learning to drive a good experience making me feel comfortable and relaxed from the first lesson. I am glad I have passed my test but I will actually miss our drives together. Read Less

Karen is the best driving instructor anyone could have, I was scared of driving, she turned me into a confident driver, Karen also taught my son Dean and is now teaching my daughter Chloe, I wouldn't have let them go with anyone else as from my past experiences of other driving instructors, no-one could give driving tuition and build confidence as Karen does. May sound corny but she is simply the best Read Less

Karen is a fantastic instructor and I'm so glad I chose to learn to drive with Mirrors driving. She got me through my test first time and I know I am a safe driver because Karen (and Angus haha) taught me to drive like she does. She is a lovely lady and I recommend her to everyone! Xx Read Less
