DRIVEable Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor ever!! I never ever thought I’d sit in the driving seat due to having severe anxiety let alone actually driving and it’s all thanks to Cheryl!!! Cheryl is so empathetic, patient and non-judgemental when teaching I’m sooo happy and grateful I found her!!! Cheryl has helped to decrease my anxiety and increase my confidence in driving in just a short period of time I don’t know what I would do without her!! Can’t wait to see what I learn in my future lessons! Highly recommend ❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: Cheryl is the friendliest, sweetest, caring woman. Although she is such an incredible, knowledgeable driving instructor. She keeps you safe & feeling comfortable & relaxed. Makes you believe that you can achieve anything. Will tell you when your wrong, why & how to do it right all without sarcasm or attitude. She has a really relaxed & positive energy. She will know your ready for things before you know lol. She has a funny sense of humour that helps me not to over think & get in my head. As a 51yr old woman with ADHD I feel very blessed to have found her & to have such a great 1st time learning to drive ( i had never driven) & i now know that i definitely will get my licence. She knows her stuff, is firm in a great way, Cheryl is very supportive, she teaches you not only to drive but also defensive skills to keep you safe, so if you've been putting getting your licence off or learning to drive, do yourself & everyone on the road a favour & book-in with her today. Thank you so very much for being the best 1st Cheryl
Awwww stop it lol (see, I knew I was funny ) Teaching you to not only drive but get in the drivers seat has proved that you made the right decision as you are definitely % on your way to getting your drivers license. Love your ADHD brain and how it works for you. Thank you SO MUCH for trusting me with this important journey in your life
Fantastic experience: We are very grateful to have found Cheryl and to have had both our daughters receive her wisdom. Her calm manner, her understanding of neuro-diversity and her excellent driving lessons are just outstanding. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts. The Neville Family
Thank you Narell, it was my absolute pleasure teaching both of your incredible daughters. Stay safe girls
Fantastic experience: Cheryl is a very easy going, relaxing instructor and my daughter was very comfortable with her. My daughter passed first time after only 5 lessons. Would highly recommend and will use Cheryl for my other kids as well. Thank you Cheryl
Thanks very much for the fab review, Andrew. Of course, Anya, made it very easy to teach as she was an absolute delight. I hope she's enjoying her freedom and independence.
Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I found Cheryl. I am someone who has severe anxiety around driving and who made a conscious decision to not drive many years ago. But I found myself needing to learn how to drive after welcoming twins last year. And yesterday, I passed my driving test first go! It's thanks to Cheryl and her empathetic nature, her anxiety reduction techniques and her knowledge that I was able to do it. I would highly recommend DRIVEable driving school to anyone with anxiety, nerves or that is mature aged- actually anyone that wants to be taught by a highly skilled instructor!
Thank you Marni. My job brings me such joy. I'm so blessed. I get to help people overcome their challenges. And hang out with people like you Congratulations on getting your license ✅
Fantastic experience: 100% Pass first attempt. Wishing to refresh my knowledge about Queensland's road rules and upgrading my driving skills, I thoroughly benefited from Cheryl’s positive driving instructions. Patiently she guided me through intricate manoeuvres, turning my mistakes into valuable learning opportunities. Even through my moments of frustration, her constant reassurance would turn these moments into humour. Highly recommend Cheryl (DRIVEable Driving School). You are awesome Cheryl!! Never too old to update your licence, 71yrs old. Robyn.
Amazing result for an amazing woman. You were a pleasure to bring to test Robyn. We had some fabulous moments, and your success was very well deserved. Xx
Fantastic experience: I would just like to give a massive shoutout to Cherly! I’m a 24 year old male with ADHD, learning difficulties and severe driving anxiety, I never wanted to drive… last year I decided to give it a shot and wanted to find an instructor that was caring and empathetic towards my mental health needs, I found this is Cherly. 1 year on and I now have my P’s and no longer suffer from anxiety around driving. Cherly was always kind, caring, and very supportive, all while teaching me how to be a safe and attentive driver. I would HIGHLY recommend Drivable driving school for anyone looking to get behind the wheel. Thanks again Cherly, I couldn’t have done this without you :)
I’m so proud of you Callum, you had to work really hard to overcome your anxiety and other barriers. And you DID IT! You never gave up, and the result is you now have independence and freedom to pursue activities. Thank you for the lovely review. Stay safe as I know you will ☺️
Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience. Cheryl taught my anxious daughter how to drive with individual leason plans catering to her needs. She is incredibly kind, patient, funny, knowledgable, diligent and professional. She is a one of a kind instructor that brings the best out of her students as they feel safe and relaxed when learning to drive with her. I can’t rate her highly enough. My daughter just passed her test this week first time which is awesome because shes been unable to do any practice in the last 6 months living overseas. Cheryl gave her a 3 lesson crash course over 3 days and they totally nailed it!!. You won’t regret using this driving school. They are awesome.
Thank you Michelle. I must say though your daughter worked hard to “cram” for her test and it paid off. Shes a superstar
Fantastic experience: Cheryl is truly one of a kind! I have struggled with severe anxiety behind the wheel for years. (She really understands) while being patient with a calming manor. Cheryl also caters each lesson to your needs depending on the day so you always feel supported. 100% recommend this wonderful woman!
Hey girl, you overcome your anxieties and fears and did it. The world is now for the taking, enjoy every minute of your freedom. It was a pleasure teaching you to drive and overcome your barriers! Take care Erin
Fantastic experience: Going into driving I had such severe anxiety that even getting into a car in the first place was hard but learning to drive with Cheryl made it so much better she helped me so much with feeling safe getting into a car and has given me so much confidence in my driving abilities and I absolutely believe if it wasn’t for all her support and understanding I would not have passed my driving test first try
You’re a rockstar Rose. You kept going with your learning even when it was really hard for you due to your anxiety. You did it! Enjoy your journey now that you overcame the obstacles.
Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing experience learning to drive with Cheryl!! I can not recommend her driving school enough. I'm from the UK. Never had a licence and I struggle with putting pressure on myself. Cheryl was amazing when understanding my nerves and building my confidence up. She was always considering that and constantly thinking about me as an individual. Really tailored the lessons to me. I'm a bloke in my late 30s getting my licence late in life. I'm so so happy that I chose driveable driving school. I have my Ps now and feel so free! Thanks a million to Cheryl! I didnt know I could have such fun in getting my licence. You helped me conquere my nerves and gave me that confidence
Ben you were a pleasure to teach, even when you struggled. You kept going and your preservation showed through. And you succeeded. The word is now in your hands. Enjoy that freedom
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor Cheryl. Through every single step of the way a kind, compassionate and caring lady who goes through the whole process and guided my daughter through her test, could not have done this without her, would highly recommend.
Thanks Louise, your girl was always ready to learn and put into practice what I taught her. I’m sure she’s loving life. Take care
Fantastic experience: Cheryl is an amazing instructor. She understands and takes on your anxiety, and how you’re going physically and mentally on any given day, and gears the lesson to suit what you feel up to in that moment. She layers the difficulty bit by bit, and builds confidence in a number of ways. After putting off driving for many, many years, I searched again for an instructor that was happy to take on my anxiety, and other issues, and I’m so glad I found Cheryl. I’ve now passed my test, and am excited for all the new possibilities that having a license will open up.
I loved watching your skill development and your anxiety decrease. And along with that your confidence. You worked hard and it paid off, so congratulations again ☺️
Fantastic experience: Cheryl is a caring and compassionate instructor. Without her guidance and encouragement, I wouldn’t have been able to pass my test. Thank you Cheryl for everything!!
We had fun didn't we Anushka? And you clouded on with your learning even wouldn't you didn't want to due to your anxiety so very well done again. ☺️
