About Amara

Calm, structured lessons planned around the Kingswood and Avonmouth test routes. I specialise in nervous drivers and learners coming back after a break, and I send a short progress note after every lesson.

Spotted exactly why I kept stalling on hill starts and fixed it in one lesson. Calm the whole way through.

After a bad experience elsewhere I nearly gave up. The progress notes after each lesson made it feel doable.

Booked three refreshers before moving cities. Easy to schedule around work, always on time.

Lessons were planned around the actual test routes, so nothing on the day was a surprise.

Always on time and the car was spotless. Great value for the hours I needed.

Brilliant at breaking manoeuvres into small steps. Parallel parking finally clicked!
