Jackie Willis, Cert.Ed. Dip.DI

I have known Diane for the past 10 years and have a great deal of respect for her achievements within driver education. She found her niche within the learner market, studying how to teach learners with dyslexia and how to help nervous drivers overcome their nerves using the tapping technique Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Out of this came her very successful book for driving instructors and learner drivers, “L of a Way 2 Pass”. As a former teacher, with 28 years full time teaching experience, who herself suffered from terrible nerves when it came to Ofsted inspections, even though I was successful as a teacher, and had the respect of both the pupils and the parents, as well as other staff, nevertheless Ofsted turned me into a quivering wreck!  As a result, I left the profession and became a driving instructor instead!  So, when I met Diane, one of the first things I suggested to her was that she should take her expertise into schools and work with teachers as well as children.  I could see immediately that the techniques she uses, eliminating negative emotions for learner drivers and also driving instructors facing their Standards Checks could so easily transfer to my former profession to help both pupils and staff.  Her presentation skills are excellent and she has a lovely manner which inspires confidence. I only wish I had had the opportunity to meet Diane when I was teaching!
