I can't recommend Nina at Elle Driving school highly enough. I was very nervous and suffered from a little anxiety about driving, but Nina put me completely at ease. She did this without being even slightly patronising or condescending, in fact, she gets straight to the point of why you're struggling with certain things and breaks down exactly what you need to do to get it right. If you make the mistake again she asks 'why do we think that went wrong?' or 'what do you think we should have done in that scenario', which makes you really think through everything you're doing and creates good habits, rather than berating you for doing it wrong, which is what I experienced in the past with a previous instructor! She also put me at ease with the road in general, which I'd found quite scary previously, she made me realise that all the external things in driving you may be worrying about aren't a concern as long as you are focused on being a safe driver and are aware of your surroundings, don't let other bad drivers or road ragers put you off! Driving really shouldn't be that scary!
My previous instructor made me feel very inadequate and always encouraged more lessons and I spent a small fortune with him. He enforced my fear of driving rather than helped it, and with him, I failed my test and resigned myself to the fact I might just be one of those people who 'aren't supposed to drive'. When I took the decision to contact Nina based on other reviews, she helped me overcome my anxiety about driving very quickly and easily and she went out of her way to accommodate some specific requests that I had and got me passed in the very small time frame that I'd given myself, as I didn't want to drag out the process any longer than I had to based on my last experience!
If you are nervous about driving, Nina is your instructor, but equally if you are very confident, even better, she really knows her stuff and will get you passed in no time! Read Less
