My driving instructor, Mona, was incredible. She was so patient with me and encouraged me to do better. Her explanations are great and easy to understand for someone like me who struggles to focus. She gave me the confidence i needed to pass in only a small amount of time. Will definitely miss my lessons with her, she’s a brilliant instructor and just an overall amazing lady! Thank you so much Mona!
