"Steve Maguire has been a great driving instructor to my daughter who passed her test 1st time 🤲. She was very nervous and anxious about learning to drive and has been diagnosed with ADHD. Steve was very patient with her and lessons were taken at her pace. She may have had a few more lessons than a non neurodivergent, however Steve got her through and she passed 1st time. I would certainly recommend Steve as a driving instructor. Thank you Steve 👍
