Fantastic experience: I have been learning to drive from Tracey and in our time together she has been a diligent and patient instructor. I am neuodiverse and she understood that helped me through what has been a challenging task for me, she taught me how to focus on driving and she gave me the confidence to pass my restricted license test which I now have. Thank you Tracey!

Fantastic experience: Our son had lessons with Tracy. She is the best. Patient with one's who struggle. Doesn't just want to be your friend but really says it how it is because she wants you to pass and will let you know when ready. Our son passed 1st class ist time and was timid initially. Thankyou Tracy

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Tracey, I can finally drive here in NZ with my full licence as I passed my practical this afternoon. She gives clear inputs and guides on how to safely drive, given that English is not my first language. Her patience with my speed is remarkable as well.

Fantastic experience: I am 32 years old and didn't have a license because the last time I tried to drive I got hit by someone running a stop sign. I started working on getting my restricted about a year ago (while being pregnant) Tracey was amazing! She was so patient when I would freak out and would help me to feel comfortable. Her instructions were clear and so helpful! Before taking lessons with her I thought I would never get my license and today I passed my restricted! Thank you INDEPENDENCE DRIVING SCHOOL.

Fantastic experience: Tracy is wonderful, honest and make's driving and road rules simple to understand, giving clear instructions and information. She ensures that you are well prepared before your test, making you feel comfortable on the road and can have a few laughs!

Fantastic experience: The instructor was very kind, and she gave clear and good feedback to improve my driving. I really recommend the independence driving school course for anyone who struggles who driving or who needs the extra help on the roads. She was very helpful in terms of knowing what’s going to happen in the restricted test. I have successfully passed the restricted test and the driving instructor helped me so much, I couldn’t have done it without her. It was good to get a person who has good experience with driving and has more knowledge with the road safety rules. I picked up better driving habits from the driving instructor than my parents. From my perspective I learned better from the instructor than what my parents taught me. I appreciate the lessons I had with the independence driving school as I have learned a lot that not only helped me pass the restricted test but knowing how to keep safe on the roads to keep me safe and other road users safe. :)

Fantastic experience: Tracey was highly supportive and eloquent in her lessons in a way that really made me understand and think critically about what I was doing. Traceys instructions and explanations on road rules, manoeuvres and positioning were all clear and done in a caring, informative way and I never felt rushed or pressured to do anything. I benefited extremely well and gained more confidence than I’ll ever be able to thank Tracey for during my lessons. I would recommend Independence Driving School (IDS) to ANY student: nervous or confident, experienced or not experienced, Tracey will look after you. Many, many thanks to you again Tracey, I definitely would not have passed my restricted test without your help, you are a treasure to our community and to all the people whom you’ve helped along in their driving journeys. You are a STAR!

Fantastic experience: If you want to pass first time - Tracy is your gal! I'm 29 years old with no previous driving experience prior to my lessons with IDS.

She is so friendly and down to earth with excellent teaching methods - I parallel parked first time thanks to her awesome technique! Great value compared to other schools AND I passed my test first time round! Thank you Tracy, you're awesome!
