Tracey has been the most amazing driving instructor over the last few months, and I just passed my test with no minors. She also taught my two brothers to drive and they loved her. She is really patient and understanding but also got me through lessons fairly quickly so I could get driving quickly. I felt like she really listened to my concerns about driving and I never felt nervous or worried for a lesson. She is a brilliant instructor that I would highly recommend.

It was an amazing experience, from the first lesson I loved driving. I would definitely recommend leading to drive with this driving school I felt really confident and safe from the start. The first few lesson we took it slow but it was a pace I was really comfortable to learn at and I was able to gradually build up my confidence to get onto larger roads. It was really nice to be able to choose how fast we took each step and make sure I felt confident with it, and if I didnt we went over it until I did.

Was an amazing first time experience. I was given the trust to go into 5th gear on my first lesson. It's not rushed so you can take everything on board, process it and understand. Would highly recommend Tracy as an instructor. The prices are so fair for what you get. The precautions that are taken for corvid are spot on. I felt very safe during the entirety of the lesson.

In my first three lessons I quickly picked up the basics, I enjoyed my first lessons as Tracy asked me what I wanted to do as well as getting me to do certain things. We have a reflective log that I fill in at the end of each session to see what I did well and look at particular areas fro improvement. This gives us an idea in our next lesson as to what to focus on. In my third lesson I got to drive to Cromer and back (in a 2 hour lesson) and I enjoyed it so much and it allowed me to really get used to speed limits. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for an instructor.

A very professional driving school, could not recommend enough! Mistakes are easily rectified - spoken through in a calm manner, always seeing a mistake as something to learn and grow from. Overall, Tracy made learning to drive very enjoyable!

My first lesson was definitely very different from what most people have experienced due to the current circumstances however the experience was still very enjoyable and productive. I had a two hour session with Tracy in which I learnt a lot and completed more than I thought I would but I felt relaxed and safe during the entire time. The safety precautions put in place were great I felt completely safe in the situation as Tracy had taken the necessary precautions and not risked either of our safety. It was a great first lesson and really well organised even during these times

While having Tracy as my driving instructor I enjoyed my lessons and even looked forward to them. Not only did she teach me the skills and confidence I needed to pass my test, but she made sure I would be a safe driver afterwards. Thank you so much.

When I started driving lessons with Tracy Hubbard from DSI Driving School I had already undergone lessons with two previous instructors, however I was unsatisfied and still a nervous driver. After a couple of weeks of driving with Tracy my confidence started to grow and I could see my skills develop throughout each lesson. I found Tracy very friendly, calm and information and she was more than happy to answer any questions about theory, tests or driving in general.
As well as spending time correcting weaknesses in my driving Tracy also made sure I knew what I was doing right throughout lessons which seriously increased my confidence. I am happy to say that I passed both my theory and practical tests on the first attempts with only three minors on my practical test. I give DSI Driving School as well as Tracy five stars and would recommend them to anyone who is nervous about driving and wants a nice, patient and dedicated instructor to guide them. A special thank you to Tracy for her unwavering belief in me.

I'd like to say a massive thank you to Tracy for being so patient, helpful and informative. The best thing about learning with Tracy was that whatever pace I was learning at; she was happy to suggest things we could do, or if I wasn't happy with a certain aspect she's great at explaining why to do things as well as how. Overall, Tracy is a great teacher and I couldn't be happier with the way my driving has improved over the months!

Learning to drive with Tracy has been great. I am a anxious person who takes time to learn and also lack in self confidence but she was still willing to teach me, she is kind and patient and a lovely person to be with I think myself lucky to have found her to teach me, I would be happy to recommend her to anyone who is nervous and anxious.
