Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Ryan more. He took me from having zero confidence and knowing barely anything to passing my restricted on my first go. Using the simulator helped me gain confidence and skills and made me feel more confident on the road. Thank you so much Ryan!!
Thanks, Lucy! What an awesome drive you had yesterday. You were amazing - from the start on the simulator to doing your test. Well done and congratulations. Keep up those good driving skills. It's essential on our roads. Have a great Xmas and see you next year for a Defensive Driving Course. Thanks - DriverEd
Fantastic experience: We can’t recommend Ryan at Driver Ed highly enough! He has helped two of my children pass their restricted licenses first time with flying colours. They both absolutely loved their time with Ryan. He made them feel comfortable, squashed any nerves and gave them confidence with their driving and going in to the test. He is amazing and we will definitely be using him again when the time comes for our third child to get their restricted license. Thank you so much!! A++++++++
Thanks, Anna. It has been amazing to support your children on their journey to being safe competent drivers on our road. Keep checking in with them to ensure they stay safe. Have a wonderful Xmas. Thanks - DriverEd
Fantastic experience: Our daughter had a couple of lessons with Ryan. She felt it made a big difference as Ryan guided her in areas she wasn't sure about and her confidence increased. Passed her test first time :-) Thanks Ryan.
Thanks, Helen. A great result for your daughter. We are pleased that our lessons supported her with the couple of areas she wasn't sure with. A great pass on her first attempt. Let us know when she is ready for a Defensive Driving Course. Have a great Xmas. Thanks - DriverEd
Fantastic experience: Ryan quickly developed a rapport with our daughter putting her at ease. He has the ability to grow confidence in the learner driver while also outlining areas to work on. I would strongly recommend lessons from Ryan. Best thing we did for her driving!
Thanks, Billie. It was fantastic to drive with your daughter and achieve this milestone. Keep make sure she is safe out there and using those good skills we went over. Hopefully we will see her for a Defensive Driving Course down the track. Have a great Xmas. Thanks - DriverEd
Fantastic experience: Thanks very much Ryan for your capable and professional approach in preparing our daughter for her restricted test. Like many parents we taught her to the best of our ability but there’s no way she would’ve passed without you coaching her on the finer details and things that we have forgotten. We’re pleased to say she passed on her first attempt, which is totally due to your efforts. We chose DriverEd via a recommendation from friends and would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone wanting a great instructor. Thanks again Ryan. Dave Geary
Thanks, Dave! It was great to support your daughter in the final stages of her learner phase. You did an awesome job teaching her too! I’m really pleased she passed on her first attempt. I look forward to helping her as she works towards her full licence. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas! Ryan – DriverEd
