I learned to drive with Karen Henderson and can honestly say she’s a fantastic instructor. She’s very patient, calm, and explains things clearly, which made the whole experience much less stressful. She let me learn at my own pace, making sure I felt confident before moving on. She’s extremely knowledgeable and supportive, and overall, learning with her was a really positive experience.
