"I highly recommend Lavinia Driving School. Rabia was an amazing instructor! I always felt that my learning style and personality were considered when tackling new things during our lessons. She was consistent, communicative, and positive. From the first lesson to test day, I could tell that she was genuinely invested in my success. I passed on my first attempt with one minor, with much credit to both the skills and confidence I was able to develop during our lessons!"
