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.

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.

It was really good!!

Tatiana
This year a family friend recommended Pro Drive, and in particular Trevor. I've held my L's for over two years now and because of a past experience haven't been able to confidently get out on the road. Thanks to Trevor, I've gained so much confidence and I'm learning all the time. He's super helpful and he's great to have a chat with. Over the two years, i've had so many different driving instructors and there's none that i genuinely felt comfortable with until I came to Pro Drive. They're all about teaching and safety, being aware whilst out on the road. All in all, great place to learn and worth the money.
Rico
Great instructor! Helped me pass my practical test on the first go. Furthermore, really nice guy and provided a great learning experience !!!!
Vicki
I’d like to congratulate My Prodrive in general for running an extremely professional and reliable service. Returning to driving after an operation was quite intimidating but I was very impressed with the ability that David Cullen had to put my mind at rest and to increase my general confidence with my driving. I couldn’t fault anything at all with my driving lesson and again was impressed with David’s ability to be able to calm and encourage me during the driving lesson. It certainly gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. Thank you David and ProDrive for your support. Greatly appreciated!
Dhramendra
Trevor was great , very patient , polite , kind and professional.
