CONGRATULATIONS Gemma on Passing your Part 3 today.  So very proud to have you join the Belt Up Driving School Team! :)
Training with Angie has been a great experience! When I started back in June 2017 we started off with Angie pretending to be a learner driver. I really struggled with this as I knew in the back of my head this wasn’t a real situation and Angie could drive. I began to doubt my ability slightly after some time as I didn’t seem to be making any progress.

I still tried to observe Angie’s lessons in between my own, as well as Angie observing my lessons. All my students were more than happy to pay for discounted lessons. They all knew I was training and were more than happy to help ! It meant I could build a good relationship with my learners and have them help me as much as I can help them which made them feel good. I’d also ask them how they think I can improve which makes them feel more involved.

Angie has been so supportive and patient, always ready to answer any questions and gives out amazing advice that’s relevant and up to date. Angie has built up a great reputation and it shows in her students. I’m excited to start my journey with “Be
