“Ronnie is a very patient instructor that understood my needs in improving my driving skills. I now have a license as of today which i believe i wouldn’t have gotten without ronnie’s help. Awesome instructor, i definitely recommend!”
Freya
"Ronnie is hands down the best driving instructor i have had. I booked with ronnie just as a final refresher before my test and he gave me the confidence to be ready for my practical test. He helped me iron out the kinks in my driving ability and had fun while doing it. Reccomend him for any learners looking a proffesional driving instructor."
Hunter
"Ronnie was fantastic. My son was very nervous before his lesson, but Ronnie spent time talking and reassuring him. After the lesson he was very excited and feeling a lot more confident. He said Ronnie kept talking and explaining what to do in a calm and friendly manner. He can't wait till his next lesson. Thanks Ronnie"
