1-2-1 Local Drive (Amanda Holmes)

I passed my test 7 years ago but hadn’t driven since so needed refresher lessons so that I could start driving again. Amanda was super supportive and a great instructor. She made me laugh and feel at ease, gave clear instructions at all times and always managed to ease my anxiety. Couldn’t have asked for much more, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Amanda!

I’ve been learning with Amanda, her kind and caring personality helped with my nerves learning to drive. On the day of my test I was very nervous and Amanda reassured me and shared ideas of how to stay calm on the day of my exam! I passed 1st time, I’ve really enjoyed my time learning with her and will miss our time together.

I can highly recommend Amanda! Our 18 year old son has ASD and was very nervous when he started learning but Amanda's calm, friendly and approachable manner really put him at ease. Jake found Amanda's instructions to be clear and memorable and her focus on building his confidence really helped. Jake went on to pass first time and we are all absolutely thrilled! He has taken us out in his new car and we are very impressed with what a careful, focused and intuitive driver he is. All in all excellent results- thanks Amanda!!

I started lessons as a complete beginner and had no driving experience before my first lesson with Amanda back in November 2022. Fast forward 7 months and I passed my driving test first time! I couldn’t have done it without Amanda’s teaching and support. She was patient and put me at ease whilst driving. I gained the confidence, skills and knowledge I needed to pass the test as well as how to drive safely. I highly recommend her to any learner driver and wish you luck with your driving journey!

Amanda has been an absolute godsend for my son Noah who past 1st time last week. Noah was a nervous, anxious driver and with Amanda’s understanding, time and great learning teacher skills he passed. Not only was Amanda there for Noah she was great at communicating with me ( an anxious mum) 🤣 we can’t thank Amanda enough.
