Jody is truly the best manual instructor in Brisbane, I went through 5 different people before finding him and learnt more in 1 week then I had ever. Truly cares about who he teaches and has the best advice no matter how well you can drive. 100% would choose him from the start if I could do it again. Thanks Jody!

"Adrian is the best driving instructor! He makes learning to drive a breeze, boosting confidence and reducing nerves with his infectious positive energy.

I wholeheartedly recommend booking lessons with Adrian – you won't regret it!"

I had Catherine Gatfield as my instructor. I really appreciated her support and her own techniques in teaching me how to drive. I love the fact that Catherine was so calm, easy to talk to and made me feel so comfortable. Catherine taught me techniques and learning styles that was easy to understand and retain the information for the rest of my driving life. Using a white board for drawing diagrams worked well especially for visual learners like myself. Thank you so much and I highly recommend Catherine to teach you how to drive. Trent

Highly recommend Lee Gatfield as a driving instructor through (ADS) Affordable Driving School! Best easy going, happy, genuine instructor that I have ever had! Lee is someone you want sitting next to you, mentoring you. With a professional yet friendly persona, it's nice to have a real person with a sense of humour - who doesn't bark down your neck if you make mistakes, he corrects you with ease and not stress. Lee calms your nerves if you struggle with anxiety like myself. I couldn't have chosen a better instructor for my learner lessons! I'll forever be grateful. Thanks Lee, you're a gem! :-)

Thank you Kristian

Stephanie

I had a driving class with Stephane, and it was a game-changer. He is incredibly helpful and joyful, making the learning experience both effective and enjoyable. Stephane helped me focus on what I was doing wrong and gave me practical, actionable advice. His phrase, "it's not about driving, it's about reading the signs," turned a key in my mind and made everything click. Thanks to his guidance, I finally passed my driving test. Having a class with him was crucial, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Helen

We trusted Ross as the instructor for both our children and he was patient, kind and worked really well with them to get their licence first go. He was especially amazing with our daughter who suffers from anxiety, keeping her calm throughout the whole learning process. Highly recommend Ross and Affordable Driving School.

Christopher

Jody makes the lesson both enjoyable and in a way that challenges and offers constructive feedback. I highly recommend a 2 hour lesson which allows a short drive to a quiet area to start with, and during the lesson even allowing a 5 min break in the middle (i need it as I am noy used yo long drives) which allows advice and feedback to sink in a little better. Get your manual licence by training with Jody It will be worth it!

Merinda

All my instructors from Affordable Driving School have been wonderful (Lee, Gabrielle and Ross on Northside). Friendly; accommodating to my hearing needs; calm and understanding, yet firm in their instructions and directions, giving clear feedback for corrections. Lee, in particular, is great at utilising different methods to explain and is patient, particularly in respect to anxious clients, helping to improve confidence.
