Drive with Confidence and Success

Shaila helped me pass my test and taught me how to be a great driver.

I met Shaila for a mock test when I was appearing for the restricted driving license test (again). Of course, she helped me with my driving, some easy tricks that I still use and boosted my confidence like no one before had. She went out of her way to meet me on a public holiday because she had already committed to me, told me how I had a mindset issue than a skillset one plus kept emphasising how she would be there for me for all the doubts, fears and feelings that I could ask and discuss even after the mock and the real test were over. It is rare to find gem people like her in this transactional and money-driven world. Kudos to her for the wonderful job she is doing as both a driving instructor and a human.

Shaila, Thank you for being the best instructor ever! With your guidance and patience you taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciated your encouragement.

Shaila gave me a great lot of confidence when I recently had to go for my International Driver's License Conversion. She taught me how to navigate through the New Zealand roads in a simple and easily understandable manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is learning to drive or just want to polish up their driving skills.

Thanks heaps for your guidance and help Shaila, I got my restricted license on the first attempt. All the tips and lessons that you have given stood me in good stead and I got my license… Woo hoo…😊

Would highly recommend Shaila! An amazing instructor, thoughtful and kind. Taught me what I needed to know and improve on for passing. Thank you so much again!

Under the Guidance of Shaila I was able to successfully clear my driving test.

Shalia is absolutely professional, patient and ensures to fine tune your area of weaknesses.

I would not have got my license without Shaila, she provided me brilliant advice and support all throughout, to the end, making me a great enough driver that I could pass my test!

Shaila is literally the BEST driving teacher EVER! I was so nervous about learning to drive, she helped me build my confidence behind the wheel, and I couldn’t believe it when I passed my test on the first try! She explained everything in a way that made sense, and was always patient with me . Shaila is the real MVP – flexible, supportive, and just an all-around awesome person. If you need a driving teacher, STOP LOOKING and go with Shaila ! 10/10 would recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a driving lesson with Shaila, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! In just one session, she identified the key areas I needed to work on, which made a huge difference in building my driving skills. Her feedback was clear, constructive, and incredibly helpful. As a nervous test-taker, I truly appreciated her patience and understanding. She took the time to answer all of my anxious doubts, and her calm demeanour and encouragement really helped boost my confidence. What stood out most was her ability to be both thorough and kind. She emphasised safe driving practices and gave valuable feedback while always being supportive. Thanks to her guidance, I passed my full license test with confidence. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your success, Shaila is the one to choose.

Highly recommended! Very welcoming and full of encouraging words on top of the expertise in guiding you with proper and safe road/ driving techniques.Thank you Drive Smart, though I signed up on a very short notice, and have confidence issues, I was not rejected but rather encouraged as if I am a friend, really got the most out of this journey! And I am pleased to say I passed my Full License Test in 1 try!
