Clear-Your-Way Driving.

Congratulations to Adam who had a first time pass at Knaresborough this morning!
You can now drive yourself to college and macdonalds rather than breaking your Dad's car on the way there...
With only 2 minor faults I think its safe to say that you will be confident to get yourself to Northampton this week to meet your many fellow gamers... have fun but stay safe!
I will miss our Monday lessons and i will never forgot how you had no idea what a carbonara is.
Give me a wave when you see me on the roads!

A first time pass for Matt today! The 11.11 test at Knaresborough on a weekend was worth the sacrifice and hard work.
Less than 3 months ago Matt joined one of his friends on his lesson who was learning with me to get a feel for lessons.
Fast forward to today, determination hard work and sacrifices were made and he's now on the road himself driving!
I won't miss the " how sure are you? How confident are you that I can get through there/ do this/ pass?" Questions. But I will miss the "bants"
Well done Matt. A very deserved outcome for you.
Give me a wave when you pass me in the car... no more bus stop waves!
🎊🚗🥳

With only 4 minor faults Jack sailed through the 9.07 test this morning at Knaresborough.
Once I mentioned there was a Macdonalds waiting for him if he passed, that was it; his nerves set to the side and determination kicked in.
I will miss laughing with random things on Jack's lessons but so pleased he's passed so you can now give me a wave when you pass me on the way to the gym or work!
Thanks to mum Lynette for all your background support too.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 🥳 🚗

A last minute cancellation which only me and Mattie knew about ended up in him sailing through his driving test on the 9.07 this morning with only 1 minor fault!
It was only a few weeks ago he approached me worried he wouldn't be able to get on with driving or be able to do it. Now he's driving around Harrogate independently in his new Polo!
I'm so proud of how hard you've worked. Been such a pleasure teaching you. Thanks to Dad in the background for his support too.
Drive safe Mattie and see you on the roads!

With only 2 minor faults Hana sailed through her driving test today despite her nerves beforehand!
Thank you to Mum for all your support helping get Hana's practice in, it all paid off because even the examiner mentioned what a good driver you are!
I am so happy for you passing Hana, but I will miss our laughter on lessons!
It's been an absolute pleasure to help you through this chapter of your story but now it's time to get your own Corsa out on the road and drive yourself to college and work!
I will look out for you on the roads so give me a wave! And thank you so much for my thoughtful gift. All my favourite things. ❤️🚘🎉🎊

Congratulations 🎊 Richard on passing your test on the 12.38 at Knaresborough yesterday!
The pressure was on as he had come all the way from London to take this test yesterday!
But we managed to do it despite the traffic being manic on a Friday afternoon!
See you on the road! 🎉🎊🚗

A last minute cancellation on the 2.32 this afternoon meant that Lola sailed through her test with only 3 minor faults in Knaresborough today.
Our sense of humour always meant we found something to laugh at on lessons so whilst I'm pleased she's passed, I will miss our weekly meetings!
Thanks for step dad Lee for all your support throughout and the odd maccy ds!
It's been such an enjoyable ride to see you through this journey and I wish you so much luck in the future.
Safe Driving and give me a wave when you drive past me! 🚗 🚘 🎊🥳🎉

-4 degree weather today didn't stop Amy passing her test on the 10.14 test at Knaresborough today!
It wasn't without pressure though....We had a lost provisional only weeks ago and I misplaced the car keys moments before she was due to go out!
It all came together though with a great outcome.
I will miss seeing you Wednesdays and getting stuck in the market square but I will see you soon to catch up on all the dramas. Safe Driving and CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 You did it! 🚘💃🥂

Congratulations to Hannah who passed her test first time this morning at Knaresborough test centre!
A great achievement ready to go back to university with and I may see you at work when you're home!
Special thanks to mum for helping her practice in her car and Julie Mathers ADI for her original lessons.
Well done Hannah we are so proud of you. 💃🥂🚘

We enter the New Year on a high with a pass from Marsha today!!!!
What a great start to my first test of 2024. Marsha and I have had many driving experiences that have left us laughing. The main one nearly getting stuck in a ford in Ripon. We did however survive to tell the tale and Marsha can now drive there herself to get her nails done.
What an absolute pleasure it's been going through this journey with her.
I will miss the boy gossip and the tales from work.
But I am pleased you can now use your Peugeot for a nap on your free periods.
Give me a wave when you pass me! 🎊🥂🚗💃

Congratulations Poppy! It was a 1st time pass at Knaresborough today with only 3 minor faults.
I'm so proud of you for all your hard work and determination.
I've loved our chats... even the morbid ones! It's time now to get yourself that car so you don't have to catch the 36 bus to Ripon and back!
Talking of Ripon, you got me back for taking you there on about lesson two when you confused me going round Ripon town on another of our lessons!
Safe Driving Poppy and see you on the road. Give me a wave when you see me! 🚗 🎊

A massive congratulations to BethThany who today passed her test on the 11.11 at Knaresborough with only 4 minor faults!
Her determination with the banana certainly paid off. I am so happy she's passed but will be extremely sad not to have updates on Primark life anymore.
It's been an absolute peasure to teach Beth. We've laughed, cried, sang and gossiped but at least now you can fire up the corsa so you can drive to the one stop at the end of your road.
Thanks also to Mum Amanda for all her support throughout our journey together.
See you on the road BeTh and thanks for my cheesecake!!!! 🎂 🥮 🚗 🚘

Well done to Ellis this morning who passed his test on the 9.07 Knaresborough Centre. This will please his boss as he can now work on site! A pleasure to teach Ellis and give me a wave when you see me on the roads!

What's meant to be is meant to be... by complete chance a test came up for Traff today on the 9.07 test even against all the factors against it .. and she passed with only a handful of minor faults!
I'm so proud of her determination to do this and now she can take her daughter for a drive and maybe treat her to a cheeky drive thru!
Well done traff so proud of you and don't get too drunk with your dad at the pub this afternoon celebrating 😄🚘🚗

Congratulations to Hugo this morning who passed his test at Knaresborough with only 4 driving faults!
It was an early start with the 8.04 Test but was worth it for your Licence!
Well done and if you see me on the road give me a wave!

A FIRST TIME PASS! AND... with ony 1 minor fault for Ash today on the 11.11 test at Knaresborough this morning. Horrible mock tests paid off as we knew what to work on and helped us identify what are pedestrian areas that we are not meant to drive down! 😆
No more walking to work and those Macdonald's points will get you a nice drive thru chicken burger!
Well done Ash it's been a pleasure and give me a wave when you pass me on the road! Congratulations 🎊 🚗 🚘

A massive congratulations to Charlotte today who not only passed her driving test... she passed her test with ZERO FAULTS! I'm so proud of you Charlotte. Our lessons have been an absolute pleasure but it now means school run will be a bit easier for you moving forward!
See you on the roads give us a wave when you see me!

Bailey today passed his driving test 1st time in Knaresborough with only 1 minor fault. Bailey is the calmest coolest person I've met, until the hour before test when he even made me panick! There was no need however as he absolutely aced it. I would say see you on the roads but I assume you may be driving up to the Scotland areas instead!! Congratulations Bailey it's been a pleasure! Ps. I seriously think you consider changing the name....!😆

Well done to Dorcas who today passed her test at the Knaresborough test centre 1st time with only a handful of minors. I'm so proud at how hard she worked, went home and studied to improve and remember my feedback for next lessons.
It's been a pleasure to teach you but now it's time for you to get your new car on the road and get those costa coffee and Leon drive thru bends figured out!
Congratulations 🎊 see you on the road!

Grade A Instructor 🥰🥳

I was first approached by Ella's mum to ask for a block booking of lessons because she didn't know what else to get her daughter for her 17th.
Ella at the time didn't really want to drive but we said we would give it a go and see how she got on.
She took to driving like a duck to water... one of those perfect students that takes on board what you say.. goes away and practices and comes back better each week.
Well that 17th birthday present was a life changing one because Ella passed today with flying colours on the 9.17 this morning.
I will miss our chats and her mums coffee ( the best coffee is at one stop if anyone wants one)
See you on the school run Ella. Well done I'm so proud of your hard work and determination. Beep Beep!

Hard work and determination paid off for Gosia today as she passed first time this morning on the 9.17 test in the rain!
The amount of times I heard " I can't do this" " K***A" was enough for me to tell Gosia to work hard, knuckle down, get on with it and she COULD do it !
That she did and I'm so proud of her! She will be able to take Rocky the dog on new walks and start up her dream of having her own business. This is your year Gosia... own it !
Thanks to her uncle for praying this morning and as we know.. grandma and father are looking down on you proud. Don't forget to check your mirrors and see you on the road!

Today has been a great day! In secret lilly took the 12.47 test with a lot of nerves but also with a lot of determination and that got her flying through her driving exam with only a handful of minor faults.
I have never been updated on so much gossip and Sherburn shenanigans that go on and each lesson was like a soap drama... eager to know what had been happening in lillys world from the week before. I will so miss the cliff hangers and the eagerness of what was to come with our lessons but now you are free to go and make many more dramas, memories and continue on with shenanigans but with your own car!!!
Always look at the road when you see someone " familiar" on roundabout and you will be great! See you on the roads and keep me posted! 🚗

Ben!!! On the 11.21 test today he passed with only 2 minor faults!
Ben was my ideal student... he took everything I said on board and would then watch you tube videos to try and get perfection which he wasn't far from with only 2 faults and that was for going just a little bit alow in the 60 limits! Determination and hard work pays off and I've loved every lesson with him. We've laughed we've shared stories and we've sworn ( especially when he would leave his damn handbrake on!) I'm so proud of you Ben. Get dad to buy you that porche now... you know he might with a bit of persuasion... 🤔Keep safe on those roads and give me a wave if you see me! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍( I win again)

For the first test of the week on this very wet and windy morning... Aimee got herself a 1st time pass! It was a bit touch and go as my tank only had 1 bar of fuel left and at 6am this morning not one garage had any available! But we managed it and I'm so proud of her!
Aimee will now be able to take lily swimming after she can reverse role and drop mark off at work!
I think today marks the day for new beginnings for aimee and I wish you well out there on your own! See you about ! 🚗🚘

A first time pass for John today on the 12.48. A year overdue due to covid restrictions and in the midst of a scarbadous summer holiday he did it!!! He will be pleased not to hear my endless moaning and having to shut me up with a potato and I will miss his snake and tattoo stories.
No longer will you have to have a buddy to drive to Scotland with or endure the train rides! Even better you wont have to endure me and instead pay out a fortune for insurance!
Enjoy your new found freedom. And please please please.... stop feeding seagulls.
Beep beep!

Charlene Turner... what can I say? You've managed to glide into the summer holidays just in time with a first time pass on the 12.48 test this afternoon!
The amount of times I heard " can I do it nat?!" Was unbelievable and now shes shown herself that yes, you can do it!
I'm so proud of the determination, focus and effort she put into her driving... she wanted it so badly and now shes got it!
Don't get me wrong, there has been blood, sweat and tears along our journey but mainly a lot of laughs. I will miss this so much.
I will never be able to see the dipstick under the bonnet again in the same way, however it's worth it to see you achieve your goals.
Well done Chaz, see you on the roads. Just don't hold me up too much and get your foot down!

A first time pass for Louise today! 7 months overdue as her first test was meant to be in November last year! But she finally managed to get a test months down the line and pass first time with less than a handful of minor faults on the 8.20am test this morning.
I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations about friendships, her walks and her cat billy but now I will wave as we pass each other on the roads! Massive thanks to mum and dad for escorting her to and from her lessons. First picture standard. Second picture next to her car throwing her L plate into the air and nearly knocking her mother out. Theres easier ways to tell her louise that she is no longer needed for her taxi services. 🤣
Congratulations, stay safe and see out out there!

From the 1st lesson we had I knew Will was a natural driver.
Unfortunately due to lockdowns and test changes his test was put back but he managed to find a sneaky cancellation and today passed his test 1st time with only 2 driving faults!
I will miss our chats.. I know he will certainly miss how funny my banter is.
You can now drive your mates to Robin hoods bay and save your dad having to come pick you up! Stay safe out there for your single boy summer and make sure all you get all your S**t together before you do any of your applications.
Enjoy... stay safe and away from the kerbs! Well done!!

A few months ago Levi booked a block of lessons with me and off we went, on our first lesson together.
Then Borris put us into national lockdown so after just one lesson all practice had to be put on hold. Once things re opened it gave us 2 weeks to get as many hours in as we could.
Levi put up with my persistent nagging and went away and took everything ( well not everything as he got a couple of minors for hesitation) on board and today he was my first student to take and pass his test after lockdown this year!!!
I will miss your fascinating stories but will see you at alpamere when it opens. Stay safe out there and enjoy your new found freedom! Congratulations!
