I really enjoyed learning to drive with Passport. I learned with Dawn, and always felt very safe and secure in the car with her.
I’d definitely recommend Passport, because of the way you know exactly where you are with them. They go through everything, so you know what’s happening next lesson, and what to expect.Emma Hudson

Dawn is fantastic! She really understands how different people learn and she does absolutely everything to fit into your schedule. On top of that she has the patience of a saint. I can't thank her enough for her efforts with me!

I passed first time at South Shields with an enormous amount of help and support from Dawn. I've loved every minute of learning to drive and it's bittersweet that my lessons have come to an end. I couldn't recommend Dawn enough as she always made me feel at ease (which given the stresshead I am isn't an easy task)!!!! Dawn is one of the most lovely people I have ever met and she is incredibly patient - I feel extremely lucky to have learnt with Dawn!! All the best for the future xx

Could never have passed of it wasn’t for dawn!!couldn’t recommend a better instructor or driving school, always there to help when you need it. I’ve had 4 instructors before dawn who just couldn’t help me at all and felt like I wasn’t moving forward. After just one lesson with dawn I felt like I’d learned more with her than anyone. Lovely woman and amazing teacher so easy to get along with

Just passed at Gosforth with Dave Evans. Had moved from another instructor and my only regret was that I didn’t do it sooner! Absolutely brilliant commitment and teaching, very flexible with lessons with regards to lesson durations, picking up points and lesson times. Excellent analytical teaching, not only saying where you went wrong but how to improve and why it’s important. I genuinely learnt so much and my driving improved immensely as soon as I started learning with Dave. Would thoroughly recommend, 10/10!
