Driving101 - Kapiti & Horowhenua

Fantastic experience: Liz is amazing. I am already a fully licensed driver but reached out for a lesson using a left foot accelerator, as I have just had one put in my car due to a right foot injury. I didn’t expect it to be as difficult as it was to get my head and foot around but Liz was super patient and encouraging, even when I would accidentally hit the accelerator or brake too hard. She gave me tips for making it easier and after only about an hour with her I was feeling confident enough to drive my own car with my left foot. Through our chats during the lesson I found out about the incredible work Liz does with people who are physically disabled or have learning difficulties. She genuinely cares about people and helping them gain transportation independence through driving. She even fit me in on her day off because I reached out at short notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Liz to anyone looking for a driving instructor either as a learner driver or if like me you need to learn to use modifications in your vehicle.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant instructor who is able to adapt her style to suit the people she is teaching. My daughter passed without issues due to the support and lessons she received with Driving 101. Would highly recommend and plan to use again for my next budding driver.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Liz more highly. Gives great advice, clear communication and gets great results for her trainees.

Fantastic experience: My son enjoyed his lessons with Liz. We appreciated her attention to detail in teaching him to be a confident driver in a manual vehicle.

Fantastic experience: Liz taught me everything there is to know on and off the road. She is absolutely incredible, I passed my restricted first try and I owe it all to her. I recommend her to everyone. Thanks Liz!

Fantastic experience: Liz is amazing. She gave me the skills and confidence I needed to pass my test.

Fantastic experience: Liz taught my anxious neurodiverse teenage son and did an outstanding job. She’s incredibly patient and really understands how these kids learn. She built up a great rapport with him and under her expert tuition he passed first time with no errors! Can’t recommend Liz enough. She really cares about her students and goes above and beyond for them, and her results speak for themselves.

Fantastic experience: Liz is a fantastic driving instructor and built my confidence up to enable me to pass my restricted driving test first pop! Highly recommend her! Again thank you for everything Liz!!

Fantastic experience: If you want to confidently pass your test - get lessons with Liz! She is the best and I couldn't have gotten my Restricted License without her. Getting taught by friends and family just isn't the same, she'll make sure you learn everything you'll be tested on, including parallel parking, and she's great with different learning styles especially if you have ADHD. Definitely worth the price. Thanks so much Liz x

Fantastic experience: Liz was incredible - helped my niece who was very scattered in her focus and also very anxious. Liz went above and beyond, working out strategies and remaining confident and positive throughout the year long process to get my niece up to speed. She passed first time - something we thought would not happen :) And its thanks to Liz! Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks Liz!

Fantastic experience: I’m so pleased I picked you! After sitting on my restricted for many years I was feeling pretty nervous about having to go through the test to get my full. Liz put me at ease and gave me the confidence to just book it, yay I passed!

Fantastic experience: Liz is a great instructor! I have had an accident years ago and stopped driving. Every time I tried to get back into it, I would feel extremely anxious and unsure of what am I even doing. With Liz's help I was able to get much more confident and comfortable while driving and easily passed my full test. She didn't just tell me what to do, but explained why and how to do it more efficiently. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Liz for helping our daughter pass her restricted test. Liz was so accommodating at very short notice! She really went the extra mile in all aspects from making herself available for lessons through to follow up after. Happy to recommend Liz to all!

Awesome to see liz again. My daughter passed with flying colours! Thank you Liz for all you have done, your time and patience as well as your sense of humour. Highly recommend Liz for anyone who is super anxious.

Fantastic experience: Liz is top of her game! The best in the business!. She is incredibly patient, understanding, professional and a good motivator. She has a great sense of humour and immediately makes you feel relaxed in her presence. Liz has the ability to make even the most anxious driver like myself feel at ease. Very friendly and a good listener. Liz is not only responsible for making sure I passed my restricted and full licence first time but has taught me to be a safe and responsible driver. Thanks for everything Liz the legend!

Fantastic experience: Very professional, Liz can tell straight away what you need to work on and how to improve your driving skills in time for a test. I wish I had met Liz before wasting my time and money on other instructors.

Fantastic experience: Liz is an excellent instructor, she explains things really clearly and works specifically on what your weaknesses are. Great sense of humour and makes you feel comfortable while you learn 10/10 got the pass first try!

Fantastic experience: Just past restricted today Thanks to liz, she's amazing and I wish I'd found her years ago

Fantastic experience: Liz is an amazing driving instructor. After a few driving lessons, I went from being an extremely nervous driver stuck on a learners license for years, to passing my restricted on the first go, and feeling confident and skilled enough to be safe on the roads (and now driving everyday!). She is professional, clear and concise on instruction and feedback, makes you feel calm and has some pretty good yarns too :) Overall awesome experience.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience driving with Liz. Very personable and professional. She was kind, friendly, good at teaching, and helped me perfect my driving in order to pass an assessment. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: So very happy with Liz's expertise once again. Helping my son gain his confidence. Two lessons was all it took and he passed his restricted test. We had the same experience with my daughter a couple of years ago. We can highly recommend Liz to everyone. Many thanks.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I chose Liz to teach me to drive. Prior to lessons with Liz I was always super nervous and did not have much success with other instructors. Liz is clear and concise in her instruction and is very good at what she does. Thanks to Liz I passed my restricted test first time and I now feel safe and confident on the roads. Liz has a very good reputation in Kapiti and its easy to see why. One very happy customer.

Fantastic experience: Liz is an awesome instructor. She took a very nervous learner and with patience and time turned her into a competent safe driver. Clear instructions in a calm manner build trust that she will not let you fail.
