About Diamond Drive (Devon) Lisa Dockree

Key Products :


Diamond Drive (a Southampton based company) opened a branch in Devon after one of the partners relocated to South Devon. The family run driving school was established in 1997 in Southampton and is still one of Southamptons leading and best known driving schools. We pride ourselves on offering quality driving tuition to all levels of pupils. Diamond Drive in Southampton is managed by Russ Baker and Diamond Drive (Devon) is managed by myself, Lisa Dockree.

I can offer all types of driver training including Learners, Advanced, Pass Plus and Instructor Training. I have been teaching people to drive for 25 years. I teach in both manual and automatic cars and I am constantly undergoing CPD, my most recent CPD was in April 2019 and it was a disability and dementia awareness course. I am a very experienced Driving Instructor Trainer.

Qualifications Held: Dvsa Grade A instructor, Diamond Advanced Driving Test, Institute of Advanced Motorist, Cardington Special Test, Grade A, Diploma in Driving Instruction, Young Driver of the Year Finalist (many years ago! ).

Driving has always been my passion and while learning to drive, I knew that a career in Driving Instruction was for me. I offer high quality training in a relaxed atmosphere. Over the years I have successfully taught hundreds of pupils to pass.

Gabby Daniels
Ashburton
Lisa is such an amazing driving instructor from my first lesson up to my test she made me feel so comfortable driving and allowed me to feel confident in myself and my abilities even tho I would always doubt myself. Would recommend her to anyone because not only is she a great teacher but also such a lovely person in general. I have her to thank for me passing my driving test.

Lisa has been an amazing driving instructor to me for the past year and I am so glad my friend recommenced Lisa to me when he passed. It took me a while but Lisa has been so patient with me and we have had a lot of Laughs during lessons as well. Literally couldn't ask for a more friendly and helpful instructor! . Thank you Lisa.

Lisa Dockree is the best driving instructor I could have asked for! I started learning with her back in April 2016 and I passed in September 2016, first time with 3 minors. She makes you feel confident, calm While still being safe. I will miss seeing her every week and catching up, but I will always be greatful for her teaching me and believing in me!

After failing four times and trying a few different instructors in the last 5 years I was loosing trust in my ability to drive safely and also to find a reliable and good driver instructor. Lisa was highly recommended to me by a friend and I found her teaching style clear and her professional yet warm approach gave me confidence. I failed once more but she encouraged me to keep going and patiently guided me with my silly mistakes. Finally I passed today, hurray, thanks Lisa!

Lisa started teaching me back in April 2015. I was an extremely nervous driver and had been through a period of several bad instructors before finding this gem! I would never believed I could pass my test! ( I know a lot of people say that but I have been trying since 18 and i'm now 30 and was still NO closer! - never would I drive over 10 mph, despite, over 100 hrs with various other instructors! ) Lisa quickly built my confidence, as well as teaching me how to drive in a way I finally understood. (she seems to have an unending amount of patience! ) Most importantly of all she genuinely cares about each pupil and wants them to pass! I was both elated and saddened when I passed my test (and to her credit I passed first time!) as I finally have my freedom and independence, but I don't get to see her chirpy face each week. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone young, old, nervous or confident she will teach you in a style to suit. You will not be disappointed!Moreexpand_more

Lisa had infinite patience when teaching me to drive as being an older learner (in my fifties) it was daunting for me but Lisa made me feel at ease. Thank you Lisa, learning to drive changed my life.

Claire Russell
Torquay
Lisa is a fantastic driving instructor! After a few failed attempts at learning to drive, I had all but given up hope. But after a few lessons with Lisa, my nerves had gone and she had put me completely at ease. I even passed my test first time, something I never expected I would be able to say! Excellent tutor, very patient and a really lovely lady.
Response : Thank you for the review Claire. Hope to see you out and about on the roads of Torquay!

Lisa is a brilliant patient teacher, I was one of her earliest pupils back in the 90's. I was quite nervous and she made me feel relaxed and boosted my confidence. Long time ago now but I would still recommend her today.
Response : Thank you for your review Kirsti.
