I can't say enough good things about Donna as a driving instructor. She is, without a doubt, the best in the Ipswich region. Pro Drive is incredibly lucky to have her! What sets Donna apart is her commitment to ensuring every student truly understands everything. If I struggled with a concept or maneuver, she didn't just repeat the same explanation – she adapted her approach until I grasped it completely. Her patience and dedication drive for me to succeed was truly remarkable, and she creates a supportive learning environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and pushing yourself to improve. Thanks to Donna, I feel confident and well-prepared behind the wheel.

Donna is a brilliant teacher and an even better human being.

Benedicta
Where do I start? Donna has to be not only the most patient, compassionate, and expert driver trainers, but she is also a wonderful and kind human being. As a mature age learner driver suffering from driving based anxiety, finding Donna was a godsend, and I cannot believe how much she encouraged, supported, and gentle pushed me to go from nearly unable to get into a car, to passing my test first try in just 6 months. I’ll be forever grateful to this woman for her shared wisdom, her perseverance, and her belief in me, and all her students. Thank you thank you thank you Donna and pro drive.

Donna is patient, respectful, and knowledgeable. She makes me feel safe and confident and encourages me. Despite being an older learner driver with years of failed driving experience behind me, I finally feel less anxious and motivated with the help of Donna’s consistent teaching. I can’t thank Donna enough for the work she’s doing with me and I’m excitedly to finally be on my way to driving!
Alana
There are not enough words to say thank you. You’ve supported me on one of my biggest journey’s in my life and I am going to be forever grateful for your teaching and guidance. You’re an absolute gem with a kind and caring soul. If only there were more people in the world like you ??

Donna Marie is a great instructor. I learned a lot from her and passed my driving test therefore I recommend her.
Rowena
Hands down the best instructor. Donna helped me in so many ways to made it possible for me to get my licence and drive. I can make a list.
1. Letting me put a baby seat in the back so I can take the little one with me. I thought it wouldn't be possible for me to learn as I couldn't leave my baby brother alone.
2. Being very clear with instructions in a calm manner.
3. Giving you key tips and pointers to look out for for your test based on your location.
4. Teaching according to how you drive and your needs.
5. Helping me nail the reverse park
6. Being great company and very professional.
The list goes on. Donna built my confidence by building my skills thus, naturally my trust in my self grew along side my abilities on the road.
