I’ve been teaching people to drive for nearly a decade.
I just decided to do it properly.

I’ve lived in Hermanus since 2014. I started teaching back in 2017 — first my own son, then both my daughters, then a couple of their friends. One of those friends had already failed her test with another instructor before she came to me. We worked through exactly what went wrong, and she passed.

Some of mine passed first time. Some we had to work at — and honestly, that’s the part I’m proudest of. It’s easy to take the credit when someone’s a natural. It’s the nervous ones, the ones who’ve already had a knock, who taught me how to actually teach.

Because here’s what I learned watching them: the people who struggle aren’t bad drivers. They’re good drivers who tense up the second it counts. I know exactly what that pressure does to your hands. So I don’t pretend it isn’t there — I train you through it, until it stops having power over you.

For years this was just something I did for the people around me. Eventually it was time to get the certificate, get the car, and offer it properly to the town I’ve been part of for over a decade. That’s Izzit Easy Driving.
