” I cannot recommend Judie highly enough! Her calm demeanour and use of humour immediately put me at ease and I always felt comfortable during my lessons. She was so patient and encouraging and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself! She is so dedicated to her job and generous with her time to make sure learners are fully equipped to drive safely for life, not just the test. She genuinely cares about her learners and thinks carefully about how best to tailor lessons to improve their safety, skill, and confidence. I never thought I could pass first time, but with Judie’s support, I have! Thank you, Judie!”

“Having Judie as my driving instructor was a great experience. Her professionalism and dedication to making lessons specifically catered to strengthening my weaknesses helped me to ace my driving test when the day finally came. You can guarantee that after every lesson with Judie you will feel more adequately equipped to drive safely and confidently. Additionally, you could always guarantee you’d get a good conversation and laugh during the lessons. I would highly recommend Drive Safe 4 Life Academy to any learner looking to start driving”
