I’ve been delivering tailored driving lessons, seeing my learners move from provisional to full licence holders. Read their experiences below.

Ready to get your driving into gear?

I've had Karen as my instructor for the last few months and she's been a great teacher, and really helped build my confidence. She's really good at picking up on what I need to work on, and giving advice and demonstrations on how to improve in those areas. She picks up on how I learn best, and adapted her teaching to me, which has really helped me drive better and become more confident on the road. She's always able to fit me in her schedule and always has a story to tell when we're out on a drive, couldn't recommend Karen enough.

Karen is such an amazing instructor!
I have enjoyed my time learning to drive with Karen as she is so calm and patient. She explains everything very clearly, and has helped me feel more confident on the road.

Great Instructor - Highly Recommend

Karen really took the time to explain anything I was unsure of, very accommodating for scheduling lessons and patient in every lesson! Thank you, Karen for all your help.

Karen is a wonderful instructor! She has really helped me to build confidence, and teaches in such a relaxed manner.

Friendly driving instructor in Aberdeen

Karen has helped me a lot over the course of my driving lessons in building my driving skills and helping me to feel confident and prepared for my test. She is also very responsive and offers good flexibility with lesson plans which made it easier to fit them in around work and Uni!

My driving experience with Karen

Karen is an amazing driving instructor who has helped me come so far compared to the start of my driving journey. When I met Karen, I had some experience with a previous driving instructor but was not fully confident in myself when it came to driving yet. Karen helped calm my nerves, never got angry with me and always made sure I was okay if a stressful situation happened.

Above all, Karen improved my confidence with roundabouts in particular which was something I struggled with heavily.

Karen explains things in an easy to understand way and can easily adapt to anyone's learning style. I can't recommend Karen enough. Thank you so much for everything Karen!


Karen is an Exceptional instructor, I have improved so well over the last 3 months. The lessons are a great learning curve and Karen aids you to be the best person but most importantly a safe driver. Highly recommend Karen to anyone who is looking for an instructor and has a goal to get their licence.

I really enjoyed lessons with Karen. I knew how to drive prior to lessons but I never drove in the UK. I needed a few lessons to get used to driving on the left side which Karen helped with. She explained everything to me very clearly and was patient with my questions. I can recommend her to people who want to learn to drive or just need a refresher.

Brilliant driving instructor would recommend. 

Karen provided a comprehensive and patient learning experience. Her clear instructions and constructive feedback significantly boosted my confidence on the road. Her knowledge of traffic rules and emphasis on safety made the lessons highly valuable. Overall, a top-notch instructor for anyone looking to become a skilled and responsible driver.

Karen is without a doubt, an amazing instructor. As somebody who gets extremely anxious behind the wheel, Karen managed to push me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to gain a lot more confidence whilst driving. She’s a lovely person and is really easy to speak to. She understands how nerve racking driving can be and keeps her cool whilst showing you what you need to know. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Karen isn’t only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also extremely patient and supportive.
She has helped me improve a significant amount within a very short period of time. I recommend!

Amazing instructor

Karen is the best instructor I could have asked for. She is so understanding and helps ease those driving nerves. She boosted my confidence so much just by giving me constructive feedback. I would recommend her to anyone who has been struggling to find the right instructor. She is very easy to get along with and won't lead you astray in your driving journey. 10/10 would recommend!

I would definitely recommend Karen as a driving instructor as she has completely changed my view of driving. From not being able to drive at all to feeling so much more confident on the roads, she has made me feel so much more comfortable about the thought of driving. She is such a lovely person and has been so kind and patient with me throughout learning. Being an anxious person can make driving scary but Karen has completely changed my thought process. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I strongly recommend Karen as a driving instructor!

She is a really lovely person who made me feel very comfortable the whole time I was learning to drive with her, and taught me very valuable driving skills. She made me feel confident behind the wheel and was always patient when teaching me to drive, and never raised her voice at any mistakes I made. She is very flexible with time slots and puts your needs first.

Karen is an amazing instructor, very friendly, patient and informative! She is so good at explaining everything on and off the road, I feel incredibly comfortable and confident on the road. Every single lesson is well structured, and anything I want to work on she immediately takes on board and clears it up, and I can feel a lot of progress being made. Above else, I am a student and I also have a job, and she is very accommodating with lessons and scheduling, and I couldnt recommend her enough! Simply the best instructor I've ever had!

Learning to drive is so much easier when you have a good driving teacher. I would highly recommend Karen as a driving instructor! She helped me fix my bad habits and greatly improved my overall driving 10/10.

Brilliant instructor!

Really kind and patient. Very good at helping correct any mistakes you have when driving. Would definitely recommend!

Karen has been a very supportive and patient instructor to me throughout every single lesson. I would highly advise anyone to choose Karen as a driving instructor, as during the lessons she is very calm and reassuring. After every lesson you feel so much more confident due to the well informed feedback that leaves you acknowledging what you need to do to improve. Overall I would rate Karen 10/10 and a must pick for anyone who is wanting to take up lessons.

Karen is an extremely experienced driver and excellent at teaching completely inexperienced drivers as well! Her professionalism shows through her scheduling and communication skills above all. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Karen is a very good driving instructor, she was always very patient with me as a non confident driver and pushed me to do my best.

The best!

In my first lesson she made me feel confident, makes me feel really calm and safe when I’m driving and stays calm when i make mistakes and always talks everything through. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone begging or learning to drive, couldn’t recommend a better instructor!

Excellent 

After being with many driving instructors, Karen is the one who helped me gain confidence with driving. Would highly recommend her as a driving instructor.

Karen is an excellent driving instructor and I'm so happy that I'm doing my lessons with her. She makes me feel really calm and safe when I'm driving even if I start to get nervous and panic a little. She always gives me praise on what I have done well or tips on improvements I can make when we are out on the roads. She has always put her trust and belief into me which has really helped towards her growing my confidence on the road. I would recommend Karen to anyone beginning or learning to drive! I can't wait for her to be with me when I do my test but I will really miss her once I've finished my lessons.

When I started I was really nervous but after a little amount of time Karen made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and she makes it feel like such a relaxed environment! She's also such a relaxed and kind person which makes it even better.

Karen was a great instructor, I passed with only 1 minor, couldn’t have done it without her.

Had another lesson today and feel my confidence is growing each time. Karen is a very friendly and helpful instructor and I’m excited to continue my lesson with her.

5 STAR 

After having 3 previous driving instructors I found Karen to be the best. She was calm and so helpful at explaining things. I had a real fear of roundabouts before I had my lessons with Karen and she helped cure the fear to pass first time.

Learning to drive with Karen is a very enjoyable experience. She is always comforting and understanding. Karen not only teaches me to drive safely but also encourages me to believe in myself and gain confidence. She'll be the first person I recommend to anyone looking for driving lessons.

Couldn't recommend Karen more! Brought my confidence up and taken away the dread from learning to drive! Had so much fun in the short time but thank you again! Previously learning with other instructors 4 years on and only a few weeks you've got me test ready!!
