I had 3 lessons with instructor John J in Toukley and he was very patient and encouraging. It boosted my confidence significantly.
Before taking the lesson with Learn Drive Survive, I have failed driving test 3 times before, so my confidence was very low and I was in panic because my driving license was about to expire 1 month before taking this lesson (my driving test was 4 days before my license expired).
But John told me to believe in myself and taught me the correct and safe way to drive. He helped to calm my nerves and by the 2nd lesson I've shown some improvements and he praised me for

We had Roz teach both our sons driving lessons, helping and guiding them all the way to both get their licences. We can’t thank Roz enough for her time and patience. She went above and beyond. Thanks so much Roz

I would recommend this Driving school to everyone. My daughter had a few lessons and she passed her Ps first go. Her instructor was great and made her feel extremely comfortable.
I now feel safe with her driving alone with everything they taught her.

I cannot fault learn drive survive. The instructors are patient, clear, professional and friendly. I had little prior experience and learnt directly through the lessons. Special shout outs for Spud, Chad and Dee who made the entire experience fantastic and believed in my ability to pass first time. I would highly recommend.
