Testimonials

One very happy customer.

I am so happy I chose Liz to teach me to drive. Prior to lessons with Liz I was always super nervous and did not have much success with other instructors. Liz is clear and concise in her instruction and is very good at what she does. Thanks to Liz I passed my restricted test first time and I now feel safe and confident on the roads. Liz has a very good reputation in Kapiti and its easy to see why. One very happy customer.

Liz is an awesome instructor.

Liz is an awesome instructor. She took a very nervous learner and with patience and time turned her into a competent safe driver. Clear instructions in a calm manner build trust that she will not let you fail.

Highly recommend
