I had Cherry as my instructor. She was very patient, punctual, and had taught me the essential skills needed for driving. She provided useful driving tips and had focus on my common mistakes! Overall, I had a great experience with 121 Driving School :)

I highly recommend One 2 One Driving School and my instructor, Gary, to everyone willing to obtain their license. He is not only an awesome instructor but also a respectful human being. He is very knowledgeable and super patient in his job and knows how to make the driving experience stress-free for his students. You won't regret taking lessons with him.
