An amazing instructor!

Tyree

As someone who struggles with severe anxiety, I was initially very apprehensive about going for my license. However, Stephen exhibited exceptional patience, understanding, and encouragement that made all the difference. Stephen's ability to remain somewhat composed, even when I made mistakes, truly set him apart. Instead of making me feel like such a failure, he used those moments as learning opportunities, providing constructive feedback that was both kind and effective. Thanks to Stephen I was able to overcome my anxiety and use the skills necessary to pass my driving test. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephen to anyone, especially those who may feel nervous or anxious about driving. His expertise and compassionate teaching style make him an outstanding driving instructor. Thank you
