We were extremely pleased with the driving lessons Helen provided for our son. Her support and guidance played a key role in him successfully passing his restricted licence. We would highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive instructor.

We appreciate Helen so much, she has done amazing work with our teenage daughter, she was so calm and stress free, my daughter looked forward to every driving lesson. Helen made my daughter feel safe and really boosted her confidence on the road.

She passed her restricted first try and is excited to get out and about.

I would recommend Helen, she is an amazing Teacher, Awesome for teenagers that stress out with mum or dad.
Thank you Helen you made our life much easier.

I can’t recommend Helen’s services enough.She was absolutely amazing helping my daughter to pass her restricted. Helen is totally invested in her students, she cares alot about them, helps with any anxiety issues and truly is the best.

Helen is by far the best driving instructor in the area. She is very knowledgeable, patient and just outright an amazing human. She accommodates any personal requests and goes beyond her duty to help. She’s prepared my daughter for her restricted license perfectly, she passed her test easily. I will be back with my other child too. 🙂

Helen is amazing – consistently goes above and beyond and help 2 of my kids get their restricted licences so far. She even went so far as to take my daughter all the way to Tokoroa for her test and supported her through that. Cannot praise her highly enough and would recommend to anyone.
Thanks Helen you are awesome!

“I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Helen, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. She always made sure I felt comfortable and confident behind the wheel, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring I understood each concept. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a driving instructor who is not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely caring!”

Greetings from Sydney, and I hope this finds you well. Just the other day I completed a 10-day solo road trip around Tasmania. I did a full circuit around Tassie and drove 1,600 km. It took a day or two to feel settled and comfortable driving on the left, but it definitely would have taken much longer without your super helpful lessons.

Thank you for your instruction and patience! I’m really glad the timing worked out and I was able to take a couple lessons with you.

All the best,
Scott

Amazing teacher, patient with new and struggling learners. Helped and pushed me to accomplish what I thought I couldn’t. Glad she could help me.

After my son didn’t like his experience with his first driving instructor (refused to go back after one lesson) we met Helen at the council’s Driver Direction’s Day for young drivers.  My son told me afterwards that she was the one he wanted as his driving instructor. 🙂
Helen is fun, very knowledgeable and reliable.  She did a great job with my son, he loved it and passed his driving exam right away.  A perfect experience, thank you, Helen – we also really appreciated you coming to his exam as well!🙏❤

Helen is hands down the best driving instructor, she is very calm and makes sure you understand what you need to do, she allowed me to bring my 1 year old to my lessons for the whole week! I couldn’t have passed my restricted without her help, I will definately recommend helens driving school to other people needing to do their licens

Big big hugs Helen THANKYOU.

Thank u once again you helped be pass my restricted test so easily and helped me fix all my big or small mistakes best driving school in town I will say thank u once again Helen.

We met Helen at Driver Directions at Mamaku after my daughter had just got her Learners Licence. Helen had a calming influence and nothing seemed to phase her too much, teaching so many little things I had forgotten over the years.
Several months later we booked in a couple of lessons before she sat her restricted test. Helen helped polish up on some of the skills and reassured us my daughter was more than ready to sit the test. Suggesting a lesson with myself or her immediately before the test to calm the nerves which was fantastic advice.

Thanks Helen for everything!

Hi, I’m chevy and had been doing driving lessons with Helen for my restricted license. I can only say positive things about her and her constructive criticism. We helped me gain my restricted license with only a few lessons. I gained a lot more confidence, an awesome women and easy to be around. I would highly recommend Helen to help you work towards getting your licenses. 
Can’t wait to do my full license practice with her in 5months time.

Helen helped me pass my restricted with flying colours! So patient and gave the best pointers to make me confident in passing. So easy going and funny to talk too also. Will miss our lessons thank you!

Thank you Helen for the lessons, confidence building and support you provided to my girl.  You went above and beyond with Tiana and she came away with the results!  Helen is extremely kind, friendly, supportive and has a great sense of humor.  All the best to you! 
Thank you again Helen 😊

Thank you so much Helen, for your help with passing my full license, and for letting me use your car when taking the test! I really appreciate all your help and reinforcing confidence in me as a driver. And thank you for your help with parallel parking also! Would definitely recommend your services if asked about driving instructors. Very friendly and stress free classes

Recently having moved from South Africa, my parents did not know the New Zealand driving requirements to pass a restricted driving test. We made contact with Helen and she immediately came back to us with availability dates and times for a driving lessons. In one single lesson, she taught me everything I needed to know and do in order to pass my driving test. Without her, I never would have passed the first time. She made sure i was comfortable before asking anything of me behind me wheel and took me along some of the routes frequently used in the test. I enjoyed my driving lesson with such a kind, passionate driving instructor.

Amazing teacher I passed my restricted test after just a couple of lessons, she finds new ways to remember things and works on the things you need to learn until you get it right

Helen was an integral part of my daughter passing her restricted test. Helen is so knowledgeable and gives great positive and critical feedback. She is very accomodating when making appointments and she provided such a great service. We highly recommend her.

Hi a big shout out to Helen she has been my son’s driving instructor. I have noticed my son has become a lot more confident behind the wheel, she is so patient, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend Helen. Thank you so much

I just want to say a massive shout out to Helen. I can not thank her enough for the love and support she gave me by getting my son though to receiving his restricted license. If it wasn’t for Helen’s guidance, compassion she really went above and beyond helping me by getting my son to and from the testing destination. Making sure he was fully prepared, I unfortunately couldn’t be there with him, but I just knew he would be absolutely fine with Helen at his side. Her kindness and understanding when it comes to teenager’s is just outstanding. I recommend Helen to anyone whos son or daughter is going through the emotions of getting there licenses.
