<pre>After over a year since my last lessons I finally had time to do an
intensive course of 20 hours with Fiona. Her prices are fair and she
showed me how she worked out the final price. She is so patient and
supportive. Fiona made learning the maneuvers easy and simple to
remember. She also made sure I was always comfortable and okay to do
things like emergency stops as I am pregnant. Fiona has given me so
much confidence and I don't think I would have passed without her
supporting me as much she did <img src='http://www.learn2drivedrivingacademy.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </pre>

<p><strong>Fiona has lived up to the praise given &amp; I can say that it&#8217;s the best decision I have made. I am a natural self doubter but Fiona is such a calm, patient &amp; friendly teacher that at the end of each lesson I come away feeling relaxed, confident &amp; buzzing having enjoyed my lesson. It is something I really look forward to!</strong></p>
<p><strong>I cannot praise Fiona enough &amp; would definitely recommend that you choose Fiona &amp; learn to drive with her driving school &#8211; it&#8217;s the best decision I ever made!</strong></p>

<h3>After spending the weeks leading up to my first driving lesson<br />
feeling nervous, 10 minutes with Fiona and I felt at ease. She has a<br />
structured style of teaching, keeping good records of your progress<br />
and using a number of visual aids and techniques to help you learn<br />
manoeuvres and different situations you will encounter. Fiona was also<br />
willing to give me lessons in both Launceston and Plymouth, allowing<br />
me to feel comfortable driving in both areas. By the time I took my<br />
test I was feeling extremely confident. I strongly recommend learning<br />
to drive with Fiona!:) Thankyou. Chloe Mabin, 17, Kelly Bray</h3>

<h3><strong>I have been learning to drive on and off for 4 years now. I have had 2 driving instructors Fiona being my 3rd. My first instructor was teaching me just how to pass my test and not how to actually drive. My 2nd driving instructor was teaching me how to drive and pass my test but was not patient enough to undo the bad habits from my previous instructor. Then Fiona came along, not only is she patient and calm, she is flexible and honest she works with you and her number 1 priority is being safe on the road. After 2 not so good instructors I had a lot of re learning to do. Fiona worked through my weak areas and made them strengths. Roundabouts and me before Fiona just didn’t mix, so after about 4 hours of driving round Callington hitting every roundabout we could from all the directions we could, I finally got it. She put a structure in place for me, slow down on approach be in 2nd gear look right and pay attention to the other traffic. Putting this structure in place has meant that I was then able to tackle the roundabouts in Launceston and then later in Plymouth with no problem at all. The manoeuvres were weak as well so another lesson was spent just concentrating on getting the manoeuvres correct and placing a structure with each one, using a simple step by step guide. With every lesson you are guaranteed Someone that is patient and calming Someone who will teach you how to drive safely Someone who will always no matter what, highlight the positives in the lesson Someone who is flexible and adaptable to the needs of the learner not just what her lesson plan says. Rachael Hoare, Plymouth</strong></h3>

<h4>After being let down by my previous driving instructor, I decided to go with Fiona. I used to dread my driving lessons but after my first hour lesson with her I came away feeling 100% more positive about my driving. The dual carriage way was my demon especially drifting, within 10 minutes of my first lesson on the carriage way with Fiona this was fixed, I was not drifting anymore. Fionas way of teaching is methodical and structured, she is friendly and approachable, remains calm and keeps you focused on the lesson. With Fiona you will learn to be a safe driver before you take your test. I love driving, It&#8217;s all thanks to Fiona. Marium Gupta, Calstock</h4>

<h4>I have had several driving instructors and have struggled with their style of<br />

Fiona has changed everything for me, I look forward to my lessons, and I am<br />
actually excited to be learning to drive. I can see that I CAN do it now, and<br />
that is all due to Fiona’s calm, friendly demeanour and her positive, structured,<br />

Thankyou Fiona. Louisa Hawken, 32, Liskeard</h4>

Pass Plus is not a driving test but a 6 hour course (minimum) that will build on your current skills and knowledge. It will teach you how to anticipate, plan for and deal with all kinds of hazards, and help you become a more confident driver.</p>
<p>A Pass Plus course can be taken at any time, but it&#8217;s ideally taken in the first year after passing your driving test.</p>
<p>Pass Plus consists of six modules about driving in different conditions:</p>
<h3>Driving around a town</h3>
<p>The first module has two parts. It begins with an introduction to Pass Plus, explaining the course aims and the skills and knowledge to be covered.</p>
<p>The second part is a practical session covering the different features of driving in a town, such as complex junctions and public transport.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll focus on:</p>
<ul>
<li>observation, judgement and awareness</li>
<li>eye contact</li>
