Fantastic experience: Lynette is an amazing instructor. I’m a person who gets nervous and made many mistakes while learning. Lynette knows how to calm and improve driving skills. She will take different roads so you would challenge yourself to improve better. If you looking for an instructor I vouch that she is the best as she guides and improve your driving skills .easy process to book her in and she value your time. Thanks to her guidance I received my full driving license recently . Thank you soo much Lynette

Fantastic experience: Lynette has taught both my boys to drive since they first got behind the wheel. She also helped me to sit my licenses previously and retrained me from many bad habits. She is phenomenal with her approach to teaching she has a way with the kids keeping it calm fun and relaxed whilst still implementing the seriousness of correct techniques for driving. She also has the added benefit of taking them along to sit their driving licences making sure they are all prepared for it. I cant recommend Lynette enough she’s the best in the business!!!

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend Lynette as a Driving Instructor. My daughter Taylah was a nervous driver and Lynette’s lessons (with feedback to Taylah and I at the end of each lesson) took her to the next level where she was able to pass her restricted on first go. We recommend doing the lessons, mock test and lesson test packages. Thanks Lynette - we’ll be back with the next kids in the future!

Fantastic experience: Lynette is an absolute legend. Both my children had lessons and passed their restricted 1st go. One of mine was super nervous to drive and Lynette absolutely calmed her down and gave her the confidence needed to drive. I also highly recommend, when it comes to the test day, you book the lesson and test package. The support role Lynette plays really helped both my kids feel relaxed as she was with them as their support person the whole time during the test. Thank you so much Lynette, you are an amazing driving instructor and wonderful Lady. We will always be so thankful to you.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Lynette as a driving instructor. Her patience, knowledge, and expertise are exceptional. She taught both of my daughters, and her lessons were so effective that even I improved my own driving skills based on what my daughters shared with me. Thanks to Lynette's instruction, both of my daughters passed their restricted license tests on their first try after receiving lessons from her.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Lynette as a driving instructor. Max passed his restricted licence with confidence thanks to the stellar instruction and tips given by Lynette to help him get there. She also went above and beyond in making herself available for a practice test at very short notice when a test slot became suddenly available. One very happy Boy

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend Lynette as a driving instructor. Lucas felt at ease while in the car with her and made it easy to learn. Lots of tips that we forget as parents. Thank you once again. One very happy teenager passing his restricted license today.

Fantastic experience: The instructor, Lynette helped me overcome my fear with speed zones and was very calm when instructing me through the lessons. Each class I felt confident than before. She questioned my fault and showed me how it could be better done. She took inputs from the person I practised with and found what we needed to focus on at each class. More focus was put on driving itself than the driving test so I could be a safe driver on the roads with my kids. I passed my driving test on my first go.i did work hard for it by practicing but she was a wonderful teacher and I am a proud student :)

Fantastic experience: Couldn't be happier with Lynnette's service and results! She taught both our kids to be confident safe drivers and they really appreciated her relaxed but informative teaching style.

Fantastic experience: I was a really anxious adult learner, but the excellent lessons from Driven By You taught me how to be a safe but confident driver. I probably would never have gotten my licence without Lynette, she is especially good with those who are nervous or anxious. I got my restricted & full after lessons with Lynette and my daughter got lessons before getting her restricted. When I passed my full the tester said that most people pick up bad habits but I'd clearly had some lessons with a good instructor before my test! That is a testament to Lynnette and Driven By You

Michelle McKenzie 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lynette is a fantastic instructor who had a gr8 repore with our son who was very anxious about sitting his restricted test. She helped build his confidence and has helped him stop using the F word (failure). Would highly recommend as from our prospective the results speak for themselves.

Fantastic experience: We have just had our 3rd son pass his licence and all 3 boys were under Lynette’s instruction. The boys had a positive learning experience and Lynette was very thorough and very patient with them. It was very good value for money and most of all peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I look forward to our daughter having the same happy driving experience next year. The boys also did their defensive driving tests with the driving school. Thank you Lynette you are a super instructor.
