Barbara rescued me from the despair of two previously failed attempts at the dreaded part 3 exam. Her rescue training was very thorough and professional. Barbara has a great personality and she managed to calm my nerves and made me feel much more confident about passing. I wish she could have done all of my training instead of the last few hours and thanks to Barbara I am now an ADI.

Until my late fifties, I had no real incentive to drive. Over the years, I had two or three attempts which failed because I just didn't enjoy the lessons. Then my company relocated 50 miles away and suddenly I needed a drivers licence and I am so glad I chose Barbara to help me get it. She didn't just teach me how to pass my test. She taught me how to drive, safely and confidently, on all roads, in all conditions and at all times. Barbara has an enormous range of teaching tools so, where one method didn't suit me, she always had another up her sleeve. She was endlessly patient, supportive and encouraging and I learned something new in each lesson. She is also an incredibly nice person and brilliant company so every lesson was genuinely great fun. I'm now driving every day and loving it and am immensely grateful to Barbara for helping me gain a skill which has, literally, changed my life and I am delighted to have the opportunity to recommend her to any new driver.

Barbara gave me training for part 2 and 3 of my instructors course. From day 1 Barbara was very supportive and always used to put me at ease when I used to panic regarding my new career. She gave me the confidence that 'if you are dedicated to something in your life, success is not far away'.
It was also due to her encouragement that I attempted to take my part 3 test without going on a 6 month trainee licence. With her help and support and her confidence in me I passed my part 3 at 1st attempt.
Wherever I am today is due to Barbara, my new career is flourishing because I had Barbara as my trainer. Even til today after having completed my training with her 6 months ago she still hasn't let go of me and keeps in touch to see how well I am doing and if I need any kind of help or support.

Barbara provided training for my ADI part 2 and part 3 exams in August 2008. When I embarked on my new career I was apprehensive about what to expect, was nervous about the exams and didn't really know whether I would even be any good at it. Fortunately for me I found a fantastic trainer in Barbara. When I first met Barbara I knew I had made the right choice.
From our first training session together, Barbara made me feel at ease, comfortable and relieved any concerns that I had at the time. Barbara took a personal interest in ensuring that I had all the skills required to be successful in my part 2 and part 3 exams and encouraged me all the way.
Barbara's teaching techniques are very much tailored to the individual and she is excellent at pitching her techniques to your needs and ability. I always enjoyed my lessons with Barbara and would look forward to my next one with her as she is a person who anyone can get along with.
I am so pleased with the training that I received and I know that I could not have done it without her. I am where I am today thanks to Barbara and would recommend her to anyone that is considering training to be a drving instructor.
