Congratulations to Mariya who passed her driving test this afternoon in York! And not an easy test with a route changing due to traffic and two ambulances shooting past. You dealt well with everything thrown at you!
Mariya has never (and probably will never!) believed how good she is behind the wheel but hopefully today’s result starts to change her mind. I shall miss hearing: “I’m never ready” in answer to me saying “set off when safe and you’re ready to do so!” 
It has been a pleasure getting to know you and teaching you how to drive. I feel lucky to now call you a friend. I am so proud of your resilience, hard work and your refusal to give up. I know driving will never be your favourite thing, especially the “circles,” but just know you passed for a reason and you are a bloody good driver! One day you’ll see what I see.
Best of luck out there on the roads. You’ve got this!

Christie Lee Driving 
I had a great experience learning to drive with my instructor Christie. She is very patient, kind and professional. I am very unconfident person and driver but Christie always made me feel comfortable .Her explanations helped me build confidence and improve my driving skills . She was planning the lessons and they were very well organised. Christie always was sending me extra materials like videos,diagrams, hands writing explanations that helped to understand better the new things. Her lessons were always reliable and helpful. Christie always was encouraging me to go ahead even when I was doing seriously mistakes.
Thank you for teaching me , Christie! You are not only the perfect professional driving instructor but you are a lovely person with big understanding heart! It’s my pleasure to meet you !
I am highly recommending Christieleedriving to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive driving instructor!
