I recently passed my test with Robyn Phillips and I highly recommend her as an instructor. I didn't expect to pass so quickly but she is a fantastic teacher. Robyn was super patient in her teaching method. I passed my test but can also say that I am now confident with driving, something I've not experienced before.
