Eve Brammar Brilliant Drive!! Jackie was an excellent instructor and very patient with me throughout the whole process, her techniques when I felt nervous to calm me down helped to give me confidence to carry on in lessons.

Each lesson was planned out well by Jackie and I felt I was able to talk to her about anything I felt unsure on and her calm attitude also helped me massively to keep calm and keep going!

Izzy Smith Passed 1st Time!! Jackie is an incredible instructor! I have quite bad anxiety around driving and she was very caring and mindful whilst also pushing me. She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you! All of the LDC resources I was provided made preparing for my theory and practical tests so smooth and I felt prepared at each stage. Despite my self doubt, deep down, felt I couldn’t be more ready at either stage.
Mollee-anna Wray Brilliant Drive!! Everything was great. The LDC Workbook helped give background and understanding towards what you were doing. It helped get ready for the lesson.

Olivia Holroyd Passed 1st Time!! Good teacher, patient, felt comfortable. The LDC workbook easy to use.
Matthew Forman Passed Part 2 become an Instructor Test! My experience with LDC has been amazing so far. It’s so easy to pick up the phone and have any questions answered by the office, no matter how silly it might seem. They never make you feel that way. The study resources are a fantastic addition, the online practice exams are brilliant to utilise. My trainer Jackie, has been excellent. She has coached me through my part 2 with great attention to detail. I couldn’t get away with anything, which is exactly what you need for part 2. This sets a perfect example of the standards you should uphold when you become an ADI yourself.
Faye Shaw Passed 1st Time!! My instructor Jackie was very friendly, calm & patient whilst I was learning to drive. I have really, really enjoyed my time with her learning. Every lesson I knew what my goals and targets were and what improvements needed to be made, but she never made me feel pressured or didn’t knock my confidence if I did something wrong. I actually looked forward to my weekly lesson and will miss them! Thank you for everything that you have taught me to be a safe & confident driver.

Emily Edwards Passed 1st Time!! Jackie has been supportive, patient and understanding from the very first lesson to the last lesson. I never thought I would persist with lessons to the point of taking a test, and I certainly did not think I could pass. I genuinely believe that without Jackie as an instructor, I could not have done it. She is professional at all times, but balances it just right with being personal and friendly. She is always reassuring, and clear with her feedback on how to make improvements. Thank you so much Jackie 😊

I have had lessons with other instructors and none compare to the way of learning with Jackie. Very grateful of her knowledge and time would highly recommend to all. Thank you Jackie
Ella Bray Passed 1st Time!! The workbook was very helpful in order to help keep track of progress and to focus on any mistakes. The instructor is very friendly and used very good methods in order to learn. One method that helped a lot especially during the first few lessons was using pictures from a book to understand better.
Rach Cumberlidge Passed 1st Time!! Jackie was a fantastic instructor. I’d put my driving off for years, partly to nerves but she is so patient, calm & friendly and puts you at ease. She likes everything to be neat and tidy and for you to be the best driver you can be. The workbook is really good as the information you need is all in one place. It has written and visual aids and the app is great for nerves (test buddy). Summarising after lessons helps you keep up to date with how you are doing and what your next target is. Thanks so so much Jackie!x
Isobel Morrey Absolutely amazing!! Passed 1st Time!! Absolutely amazing!! I would never have passed without Jackie. I have had two other instructors and Jackie was magically able to bring back my confidence and allow me to believe in myself once again allowing me to pass first time 😊 Jackie provides everything and more with LDC workbooks and even different and useful techniques for test nerves. Jackie has every aspect covered and I couldn’t recommend her more!! Thank you Jackie!!!
Caroline Rees What a Xmas Pressie 😊 I can’t sing Jackie’s praises enough! I have never felt warm to the idea of driving & very much doubted my abilities…. until having lessons with Jackie. I massively appreciated her patience with me and belief that I could do it. She explained things in a way that I could understand and I always felt comfortable saying when I didn’t understand or struggled. Jackie’s knowledge & expertise is second to none and she has taught me a huge amount - so happy I can finally do roundabouts! There were a lot of helpful resources available and the workbook helped you keep track of what you were doing. I particularly enjoyed the theory test prep questions & videos - very helpful! If anybody is wanting to learn how to drive - Jackie is your woman!
Anthony Ball Jackie has been an absolute saint My instructor has been an absolute saint and has been so patient. I am an anxiety sufferer and with this added nuisance Jackie has shown plenty of kindness, caringness & helpfulness and along side Test Buddy my driving anxiety has been greatly reduced. The LDC workbook and it’s exercises and diagrams have been ever so useful as well for those tips to help make the drive safe. Before obtaining my theory, the hub on offer from LDC couldn’t be better and helped ensure a first time pass.
Kirsty Lea Passed 1st Time!! I think it went really good. Jackie helped me with everything! The LDC Workbook I was given helped a lot. There isn’t anything Jackie didn’t teach me. Thank You.
Ryan Thorley Passed 1st Time!! Jackie has been an absolutely incredible instructor and I would recommend her to anybody, no matter the level of experience.

Isabelle Hilton I’m a safer Driver! I think my lessons have been extremely helpful, especially when it came to helping me to become a safer driver + to pass my test. When I didn’t pass 1st time Jackie was very helpful when finding a new test date & also providing resources to keep my nerves to a minimum on test day. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone learning to drive.
David Taylor-Cairns Great drive!! Jackie is an amazing teacher always willing to go the extra mile to help her students. She never gave up on me and now I have passed. We used the workbook & different learning methods to help with anxious drivers like myself. I am very grateful to Jackie for everything. Thank you.
Lauren Colley Very professional but friendly! I think Jackie is a great driving instructor. She is very professional but friendly at the same time. She is very thorough & makes sure everything is done well before the test, even if that means it could get pushed back - but that works well. Personally I did not like the writing factor in the book because I would forget to do it or accidentally leave it places. However the information in it was useful, especially at the start where all the knowledge was new. The test prep & mock tests worked well.
Millie Potter Brilliant, patient instructor Jackie has been a brilliant instructor, very patient and understanding. The LDC workbook has been a great help.

Also Jackie helped with my learning of things and she helped with my confidence. Using the LDC workbook provided did help with my practical questions overall. Jackie is a great instructor who is amazing at teaching, will help you when needed, and will have you feel more confident about driving.
Mark Parr Passed Instructors Part 2 Test 1st Time!! At the start of my 1st training session I asked Jackie to asses my planning skills & knowledge. Knowing my driving wasn’t to an LDC standard I asked Jackie to look and asses any faults, so we could rectify and iron out any bad habits and start me on the path to become an ADI. The training sessions have been very helpful in me gaining the knowledge and skills to help me to become a better driver for myself and hopefully to help others in the future. Jackie has been a great trainer for me in my learning about what LDC are achieving and their reputation to teach learners to become qualified drivers. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JACKIE
Alex Dawes Passed part 2 instructor training 1st time! I've really enjoyed completing my part 2 training with Jackie. Throughout the training, she has taken on board my needs and listened to my ideas on how I could develop my own skills towards becoming a driving instructor. She identified areas for me to work on, and through the support of the online materials and LDC workbook I was able to make substantial progress in passing my test first time.
Brandon Mottram Passed 1st Time!! Very well organised, plans and works around the students. LDC workbook with all relevant information and lesson by lesson feedback. Great way of remembering things and good methods for moving forward and improving. All round nice person 😊

Laura Mace Passed 1’st Time!! Jackie is very professional and thorough. She has got me from never getting behind the wheel of a car to a high test standard, with a first time pass. The LDC online login for the learning materials is very helpful between lessons and for the theory test preparation to a high standard too.

Alfie Amos Great drive!! Jackie is a polite, attentive driving instructor with nothing but the best intentions for her students. I have been learning to drive with Jackie for a little over 6 months and she has ensured that I would pass despite any set backs.
Abby Chadwick Examiners comments ‘Brilliant Drive’ Really good methods of teaching, helpful with building confidence and finding ways to understand when your struggling. I would recommend to everyone 😊
Lewis Hancock Passed 1st Time!! The structure of the lessons combined with the LDC workbook helped me learn efficiently and confidently. It allowed me to understand my strengths, weaknesses and what I needed to improve on for the next lesson. Both the structure of the workbook and lessons worked out to make an efficient work flow. The independence and trust the instructor gives is very useful but you are also never left too independent until you get more confidence and I find the balance of independent and support have been very important to become confident and ready for the practical test.
Imogen Bradeley Passed 1st Time!! As an instructor Jackie has been very helpful and informative, as well as being friendly and easy to get along with. The use of the LDC workbook to reflect on lessons has been a huge help in highlighting what I needed to work on the next lesson. By reflecting on lessons when we finished, I can also acknowledge what I did well on that lesson, and what needs more work. Overall Jackie’s methods of teaching are highly efficient and helped me pass 1st time.
Vicky Badger Lovely Drive Vicky commented the Examiner! Jackie overall was a brilliant instructor, her explanations were simplified to help you fully understand what you were learning. Longer lessons really helped too before test, she made sure that you were fully prepared for all scenarios of driving, she remained calm throughout difficult situations which really helped to keep me calm and concentrated. The LDC workbook allowed me to visualise different manoeuvres, I was able to keep track of my progress through the lesson log. Overall, Jackie made my experience of learning to drive a positive one which I am extremely grateful for.
Ethan Parr Passed 1st Time!! The LDC workbook was very helpful, especially during the first few lessons as it gives you an idea of the different manoeuvres you will need to learn. My instructors method of learning was perfect for me as it highlighted my many faults allowing me to improve to become a complete driver. The preparation for my test included many mock tests, which gave me a good idea of how proficient I was at driving until I was ready to take my test. Overall mixed with my instructors ability to teach the resources were great and I would recommend my instructor to anyone looking to become a learner.
Samuel Poole Sidley Great drive! I thought the LDC way very helpful and gave me confidence. Writing in the LDC workbook helped me to see the things that I am good at, helping me to focus on the positives rather than just the negatives. Jackie was a good, helpful instructor.

I know feel like I am a much more knowledgeable and safe driver because of Jackie and the LDC workbook.
Cody Roberts Examiners comments - Great Drive! The lessons have been really great and very helpful. I have learned a lot and wouldn’t of passed without them. Also the LDC workbook and talk about the lessons before and after helped a lot too.
Lilly Kirk Passed 1st Time!! The LDC Workbook is very useful, helped me to know where I’m at and lesson plans. Jackie is really good instructor, lessons planned out well and really helpful. 2 hour lessons way better, allows me to get more practice in. Overall really good 😊
Lucy Fern Passed 1st Time!! Jackie is a good instructor helping to not only improve your driving but also confidence. By using the LD workbook and writing down previous lessons it helped me to see what I needed to improve on, Jackie then focused on these areas and took time to improve them. It was very helpful to get the choice of learning style as I can’t learn by just listening. I found this very helpful.
Harry Launders Pass with only 23hrs of lessons! Jackie is a superb driving instructor which is a guaranteed pass if listened to properly, given the right attitude and commitment!
Kristina Swancott Passed 1st Time!! All was great, loved how you only go to test when you’re 100% ready. Book was very useful give you tips on test and a review on the lesson, also what you have to do. Even with covid was dealt with great. Very organised and structured, throughout all.
Chloe Arnold 1st Time Pass!! Jackie was amazing. She did everything she could to get me to test. Between Jackie and the LDC workbook & videos I was confident in my driving for test even with all the added complications from covid.
Daisy Machin Passed 1st time!! I think Jackie was a brilliant instructor who made me feel very calm and confident when I was driving. When I did make mistakes we would stop, go through what happened calmly and fix it which was very effective. The LDC workbook helped in showing clearly what I had done so far and what I still needed to learn/improve making planning and assessing my current and past performance easy. I don’t think I could have learnt/passed as quickly and effectively as I did without Jackie. The online theory test preparation resources also played a massive part in helping me pass my driving theory 1st time too.
Merlin Brown Brilliant Drive! Very good driving instructor Very good and easy when explaining about problem areas Jackie is always able to help & explain and expand while on/off the move Highly recommended!!! And easy to learn from.
Rory Baker ZERO fault pass!!! The lessons were good and helpful. I came off lessons always understanding what went well and where improvements had to be made. I found the help I received and the instructions helped me to improve my overall driving. I passed with zero marks and I was pleasantly surprised with the results of my test thanks to Jackie.
Jonathan Burkitt Passed 1st Time!! I have had a number of instructors over the last number of years this is due to not having booked a test, but out of the four Jackie has been by far the best at explaining and motivating. Jackie is a proper driving instructor, she picks up on the small things too which makes one a better driver. If you have the opportunity to choose an instructor around Leek Jackie should be your first choice. Thank You 😊
Abarna Rajendran Passed 1st Time!! Jackie prepared me well for my test. I think learning method enables students to gain confidence quicker as well as identify weaknesses in order to become an anticipated driver. Jackie gave me the choice of learning methods, which were particularly helpful with manoeuvres when I asked for usual practice. The LD workbook also enabled me to be more aware of my mistakes. It was useful to look at the workbook before my lesson so I can tailor my lesson to work on my mistakes.
Aimee Woodfint Passed 1st Time!! Jackie is an amazing and supportive driving instructor! I can’t thank her enough for helping me pass both my theory & driving test. The LDC hub was amazing when I was revising my theory test and the videos improved my practice driving when I first started out. The LDC book improved my knowledge of many things on the roads while learning to drive. Jackie is an incredible driving instructor!
Alfie Hartley 100% recommend Jackie really helped me with my driving & was always there for my time as had to arrange lessons and test couple of weeks ahead. Very short notice & always tried her best to fit me in as many hours as I needed. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to drive.
Kieran Owen Passed 1st Time! Very kind Very helpful Reliable Just overall brilliant instructor.
Patryk Kaszubski Passed 1st Time!! I have really enjoyed my experience and it has been pleasant to be a student of Jackie’s lessons. On the run up to my driving test I have been focused on the weakest topics and without Jackie’s help I wouldn’t of made it. Thank you so much for helping me remain calm and be focused. I will advise anyone that needs such an amazing instructor as Jackie, once again thank you so much.
Alice Goodwin Passed 1st Time!! Jackie has been an incredible instructor during the duration of my lessons. She has kept me calm and boosted my confidence with driving. Prior to lessons with Jackie I had a large fear of driving which has now gone and I am excited for a life full of driving. The online LD System has been extremely helpful and certainly made a difference to my studying/learning when I was completing my theory test - I couldn’t of passed without it especially the mock tests. Jackie’s teaching has been extremely thorough, which I feel I couldn’t of found anywhere else with any other instructor.

Maggie Gayes Passed 1st Time!! Super friendly & helpful instructor 😊 Plenty of resources - LD workbook to keep track of progress & with lesson outlines & Highway Code etc great for between lessons. Website was most helpful for theory practice, especially the hazard perception section. I feel a lot more confident than when I started due to the attitude of my instructor & because of the lesson planning & structure covering a range of situations & allowing the improvement in areas that took longer to pick up 😊
Marcus Dawson 1st Time Pass!! Personally for me the style of teaching was perfect. I learnt extremely fast and effectively cost worthy. Asking which method to use for learning worked well.
Lottie Waterhouse 100% recommend to anyone! Overall very professional and organised. The LD workbook was very helpful. Good test preparation (fitting in enough lessons until I was fully confident). Jackie was really good at rebooking tests in the current situation and I was very grateful she managed to bring my test forward. Overall a really good instructor, I would recommend to anyone!
Aeryn Pickford Passed 1’st time!! I think Jackie has been an excellent, patient instructor who has helped me gain confidence in my driving ability. The combination of the LDC workbook, videos & theory questions were really helpful for me so that I could go into lessons with base knowledge and work on it practically, and also use them to revise areas I needed to work on & improve. The planning & reflection helped me have control over my lessons and see where I needed to improve. Overall Jackie was a great instructor & the way she teaches helps you to control your own development.
Scott Bagshaw Passed 1st time!! Jackie has been a fantastic instructor, very helpful with an extensive driving knowledge. She has been very encouraging and has enabled me to pass my driving test.

Jackie has been enthusiastic & patient throughout. Many Thanks.

Sarah Ashe Absolutely Amazing Absolutely Amazing! From my initial meeting with Jackie to my pass today everything has been exceptional. I’ve felt supported throughout and have loved the LDC approach to learning. My lessons have always been supported and I enjoyed the planning & reflective way of learning.

I would highly recommend LDC and especially Jackie! Wouldn’t have been able to do it without her! Thank you so much Jac!!!

Ella Owen My Instructor was so helpful I like the use of the workbook, reflecting after each lesson on what I did in the lesson & things I need to improve on.

The LDC system is a very useful way of reflecting on your progress and deciding where to go next and the book is very helpful.
Faye Newman Happy & Safe Driving Future Jackie has not only provided me with the skills to pass my test with only 3 minors but she has given me the emotional support to continue learning when my nerves got the better of me.

The workbook is good and helps me understand generally what to do before the lesson. The preparation for the theory test online helped me a lot and I was able to practice and prepare for the types of questions that would appear on the actual theory test as well as the hazard perception.
Lily Smith Passed 1st time! Jackie has been very patient with me learning to drive, she is a very good instructor and always finds time to fit you in. If you need any extra support Jackie will be sure to give it to you or fit you in for extra lessons. The resources that are available are very good such as the LDC Hub and the book.
Lisa McGinley Great test! I started my lessons with Jackie with no understanding of a car. She talked me through everything with detail, and pictures to help me understand. She’s calm and understanding if & when I panicked in a situation I didn’t like and always managed to pull me out of that situation. Jackie has made me feel confident, safe & happy to drive in fog, rain & sun and in any situation on the road. Thank you Jackie, could not of done any of this without you.
Leanna Swancott Talk about delighted to pass! I found My lessons really good with Jackie. She is very patient and explains what to do really well. With me I struggle doing practical work so I feel like Jackie has really helped. It’s taken 3 times for me to pass but I feel like I needed it and it’s helped a lot. I feel like the workbook is really very useful as it makes you re-cap on what you have done good & bad throughout the lessons. I feel like I got some bad habits from driving but Jackie helped me get through them.
Zoe Gayes Passed 1st time!! AMAZING! Really supportive and Jackie has gone the extra mile to boost my confidence and help me with everything I’ve struggled with. Couldn’t of asked for a better instructor. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!
Matthew Frost Passed 1st Time! The LDC learning method is really good. It balances confidence with challenge for the quickest learning. Jackie was really friendly but fair in the way she taught. The website was really useful for revising both practical & theory knowledge. LDC was really useful & helped me pass.
Jack Vernon Great driver ‘said the examiner’ I think that the LDC way of learning and preparing for test is very helpful and gives you a clear indication of where you are at in your learning journey, for example through the use of the master progress chart and the reflecting & planning of lessons. I like the use of pre-lesson plans & the scale system. I think 2hr driving lessons also helped a lot compared to 1hr. The LDC way of learning is a lot more structured than previous driving instructors I have had, this is shown because I failed twice with my old instructor but passed 1st time with Jackie.
Megan Woods Passed 1st time! Workbook is extremely helpful and made me a lot more confident. Jackie was very patient, helpful, great with explaining things. The learning method is very helpful & explains each manouvre very well. The theory preparation is great & definitely helped me pass.
Oliver Parton Passed 1st time! Jackie is a great instructor as she is calm and teaches you in an efficient way in order for you to pass 1st time! The workbook is the best way to learn and recap. Jackie is great instructor because she cares about you passing as much as you do and can get along with her great.
Alana Beresford Passed 1st time in rush hour traffic! Lots of help & good knowledge given to build my confidence in driving. LDC Workbook was really helpful & Jackie had all the lessons planned & was very organised.
Kylie Ball Great Drive! Jackie was very helpful & calm whilst teaching me to drive. She pushed me to drive to the best of my abilities & always came in time. The workbook was very helpful for theory test revision and to recap before and after lessons. Would recommend jackie to everyone.
Harry Vernon Passed 1’st time!! The system was perfect to take me from a complete beginner all the way to test ready. The learning book and emphasis on student helps drivers to develop. All of the resources online and in the workbook helped me pass my theory first time. Jackie was patient and helped me to take me from complete beginner and always provided useful feedback and ways of learning.
Maxine Baker Great pass!! Jackie is fantastic, she is very patient and understanding & her tips are brilliant to help to remember things. Couldn’t have done any of it without her help & understanding. Big massive thank you!
James Harris Passed 1st time!! Very good, I knew what I was going to be doing each lesson and reviewed how I had done each lesson, this helped me to know what I was going to be working on each lesson. Spent lots of time making sure that each part of my driving was good so when it came to the test I would pass.
Laura Heath Confident Drive Jackie has been great. Lovely Instructor. Made me into a better driver & more confident towards my driving. Very grateful for what she has done. Thank you so much.
Paige Sammons Passed 1st time!! With only 10 hours of lessons Jackie made sure that I was to test standard. She made me feel confident & reassured me all the way. I like the student centred learning aspect of driving as it meant I could work on what I thought I needed to work on, I am very grateful to Jackie for guiding me. Looking at visual aids to describe positioning & other aspects of driving really helped. I would definitely recommend Jackie to other students.
Reece Owen Passed with only 5 Driving Faults! Follows very structured learning course A good feedback at start and end of every lesson, very helpful in seeing in which areas improvements need to be made The workbook was very useful as I could read up on manouvers at home to practice, my instructor uses the same launguage/terms as the book, aiding learning and understanding Helpful constructive criticism, good explanation, when mistakes made, very helpful to a potentially nervous driver The diagrams are very helpful at understanding road positions etc My instructor was very nice and easy to get on with and learn from I would definitely recommend my instructor to a learner If you benefit from structured learning alike to that in school, but with more support, this is the best way to learn
Mitchell Sitchon Passed with only 5 Driving Faults! Jackie was great providing me with all the necessary methods of teaching in order for me to learn and pass my driving test.
Adam Thorley Passed 1'st time with ONLY 35 hours of lessons! Jackie has been very patient with me and my learning process since day 1. In addition she's helped me correct any mistakes I kept making and stayed calm though it all. Every lesson I've had she was on time, if there was an issue or change of plan she let me know in advance. In the end I wouldn't ask for a better instructor who has helped me achieve this very important mile stone.
