Driving lesson reviews from Ever Safe pupils
Real feedback from pupils and families learning with Dawn and Michael.
A big special thanks to my instructor Michael who was incredibly patient, encouraging and supportive throughout my lessons, making me feel confident and test ready in such a short time and helping me get that pass!
Amazing experience with Michael, Herne Bay. Made my experience easy, comfortable and enjoyable. Would recommend Michael to anyone!
I have severe anxiety and you really helped me feel at ease, and reassured me i could do it!
Thank you so much Michael for helping Paris pass first time.... not only helping her learn drive so quickly and smoothly .... but also taking her on as a extra pupil when you was really booked up thank you.
Michael was so calm, patient, kind and accommodating through everything and massively calmed my anxiety around driving! I even learned to enjoy it.
I urge you to use this School for exceptional instruction; a warm, friendly, and highly professional service; and absolute kindness and empathy.
