I highly recommend Carol for anyone learning to drive. I was very nervous when I first started lessons but with Carol’s guidance and calm approach, I became so much more confident even after just one lesson. Each lesson she would focus on my areas of weakness and would continue to refine my driving skills to ensure all aspects of road safety, parking etc were covered off. I’ve no doubt that without Carol’s very thorough tuition I would not have passed my P’s test first go. I would definitely recommend her as a driving instructor!

I highly recommend Carol to anyone looking to learn the proper road rules in a calm and patient environment. She taught me everything I needed to know, plus more - helping me pass my test on the first go. Not only is Carol excellent at explaining actions and rules in an easy to understand way, she is also honest about what skills need improvement and how you can work on them. My younger sibling will definitely be driving with Carol when he gets his L’s!

Carol is a consummate professional instructor who is genuine and calm. She taught both our teenagers to drive over an 18 month period, providing them with the right amount of confidence and skill. While at the same time ensuring they were knowledgeable around road safety and rules to secure getting their P’s on the first attempt.
We unreservedly recommend her to any parent or new driver who is about to start their L plate journey.

Carol’s expertise and patience were fundamental in allowing my daughter to pass her test on her first attempt. Carol taught my daughter all the necessary skills and helped her with driving around the test areas so she could deal with most eventualities and was fully prepared on her test day. Her teaching style suited my daughter and her honesty when my daughter needed to work on specific areas was much appreciated. I will definitely be using Carol again when my other children get their L plates and highly recommend her to others. Thank you Carol.

Carol taught me the necessary skills for diving safely, and likewise how to take the driving test. Carol was really easy going and made me feel comfortable in all situations in the car.

Carol taught me to drive from the very beginning, and I can confidently say that it is owing to her that I now feel skilled and safe on the roads after passing my test on the first go. The pace and style of Carol’s lessons allowed me to make significant progress during each session; her teaching style was personable but rigorous and her criticism always insightful. As a teacher she held me to very high standards which enabled me to feel knowledgeable and prepared enough to take my test. These factors combined with Carol’s intrinsic patience and warmth, are the reasons why I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of learning to drive and would undoubtedly recommend her to any new drivers.

I highly recommend Carol as she was an incredibly insightful and helpful instructor. Her ability to explain actions and skills simplistically and thoroughly was reassuring and developed my confidence on the road. She has an extensive knowledge of the driving test areas which was super beneficial whilst preparing for the test. Carol was very helpful in identifying areas to work on to develop my confidence and proficiency as a driver. I can’t recommend Carol enough!

Carol was super knowledgeable and helpful with me, particularly in identifying where I needed to improve before my driving test. She taught me complex manoeuvres in simple ways and I owe a great deal of my confidence behind the wheel to her. I highly recommend Carol’s lessons.

Carol was an incredible instructor in helping me become an overall more confident and conscious driver on the roads and I felt extremely well prepared for my P’s test.

Carol was a very kind and patient driving instructor. My abilities as a driver improved after every single lesson. She made me feel fully confident for my driving test as she had a very large knowledge of the routes and specific things the assessor was looking for. I highly recommend Carol for anyone wanting to be a safe, responsible driver, and pass the P’s test first go!!

I met Carol two months before my drivers test. I was a nervous driver and wasn’t at all prepared for the driving test. Through Carol’s patience and supportive environment I was able to become a confident driver, having knowledge of all road rules and safe ways to drive. Carol was able to indicate my weak spots and worked with me to improve these through helpful techniques and instructions. I was recently able to pass on my first drivers test, having the confidence and knowledge to drive away safely.

“Thanks to Carol I passed the driving test first time! Her explanations are clear and her teaching is thorough. I had to put in the time and effort but she kept me motivated and on track. She is always caring and kind and firm when required. I can recommend Carol to anyone and everyone!”
Amrit D
“Five days before my driving test I had had no lessons, and was frankly very overwhelmed and unprepared for the test. At the recommendation of a friend, I called Carol in a panic and asked if she could help. Over those five days I had a number of lessons with Carol, all of which were extremely comfortable and I could feel dramatic improvements after each one. By the time the actual test came around, all of Carol’s wisdom and precision paid off – and I passed! The extent of my progression was phenomenal and I can say with certainty that I would not have been able to achieve this without Carol. Cannot recommend her enough.”
Julia S
“Being impressed by a substantial number of positive feedbacks, I contacted Carol just a couple of weeks before my second driving test. Carol proved a true professional, who knows how to teach practical driving. With a great dedication and patience she helped me to understand how to approach various road situations and to perform my driving manoeuvres. I passed my driving test with ease! I would definitely recommend Carol to those who are seeking high quality driving lessons.”
Magda L
“Carol is calm, professional and always willing to help and fit appointments in for our busy teens. Not only did she prepare my son for his driving test, she assisted with all the other things that need to be done that you might not be aware of including assisting with booking the test and fitting in a last minute driving session before the test. I can recommend You Can Drive and Carol to anyone who wants to take the stress out of teaching your teenager how to drive. Carol's knowledge base is second to none and I am lucky my bad habits didn’t cross over....can’t thank you enough Carol for your teaching, advise and support.”
Tracey H
“Carol is calm, patient and friendly, while still maintaining the professionalism you would expect from an instructor in order to get the most out of each driving lesson. She is very experienced and well-versed in the NSW road rules - she was able to correct elements in my driving that were crucial in passing the driving test (most of which were not picked up by previous instructors I've had). Carol has helped me become a more confident driver. I highly recommend her lessons.”
Rebecca N
“Carol is very knowledgeable about NSW road rules and will provide you with crucial tips for passing the driving test. She is patient, attentive and able to let you know key areas of improvement within a few lessons. If you are looking for someone who is patient, professional and will get you the results you want, Carol is definitely who I would recommend! Particularly if you are looking to complete your test in Chatswood or surrounding areas.”
Claire C
“After years of driving lessons with at least 4 different instructors, I finally found Carol. With great patience and heroic endeavour (by Carol), today I passed my driving test with a perfect score. I am still pinching myself. I can never thank you enough Carol.”
Alison R
“I had several lessons with Carol and it was a blast. Carol is patient and knowledgeable; she gave me several useful tips on how to perform my driving manoeuvres. Aside from that, I had great chats with Carol that made the lessons light-hearted and convivial.
Coming from and learning how to drive overseas, Carol taught me how to drive properly in Australia and follow the rules precisely. Her lessons gave me the confidence to drive on the opposite side of the road and eased my nervousness about making any mistakes while on the road.
I passed my driver’s licence test with ease and it’s all thanks to Carol!”
James L
“Carol gave me the confidence and skills I needed to get my P plates (after 5 years on my L’s!). She is calm, friendly, professional and knows how and when to push a student to do their best. I always enjoyed our chats in the car, and they put me at ease with driving around Sydney. Carol knows the test drives around my area very well and the actual test felt like a breeze after all our practices - thanks so much Carol for helping me achieve this milestone!
I’ve recommended Carol to several friends already and would recommend her to you too if you’re looking for a patient, compassionate teacher who’ll help you do your best (and ace the test!).”
Becky MCC
“My lessons with Carol gave me all the necessary skills and tips I needed to pass my driving test. Carol’s direct and patient teaching style made me feel confident in my own driving abilities, and comfortable on the day of my test. I passed on the first go! I have no hesitation recommending Carol to learner drivers on their journey to obtain their Ps.”
Sienna A
“Dear Carol, I just want to say thank for the great driving lessons while I was on my L’s. I really enjoyed my learning journey with you. Without your patience and knowledge I doubt very much I would have passed my driver’s test and got my P’s on the first go! Once again Thank You.”
Mia T
“I came across Carol after trying another instructor and I am really grateful for having decided to continue with her. Coming from overseas and being used to very different road rules, learning to drive in Australia was a big challenge for me. Carol explained the local rules to me incredibly well and made things easier for me to incorporate. She provided great tips at every lesson (repeating them until they were glued to my brain!), and she focussed on each one of my weak points with great dedication and care. Carol’s teaching skills and incredible patience helped me not only to pass the driving test, but most importantly, feel safe and confident on the road. She was always punctual for our lessons and offered great flexibility to accommodate my busy schedule. Carol is a very professional driving instructor.”
