About the company

Leigh Stephen is a fully qualified female Government Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) who operates her own independent LDC driving school business. She has taught with LDC since 2019 and is licensed by the DVSA to give driving tuition. Trained by LDC in the latest adult coaching and training techniques, she offers manual car tuition only. She provides intensive and semi-intensive driving courses and driving lessons, and offers a free, no obligation home visit before booking.

Her LDC driving school business is operated under franchise from the Learner Driving Centre, which has been helping driving instructors to provide quality driver training services for over 35 years. She is governed by LDC's stringent customer care and tuition standards.

She provides driving lessons in Peterhead, Aberdeen City, Bucksburn, Dyce, Mastrick, Woodside, Northfield, Summerhill, Sheddocksley, Hazlehead, Airyhall, Midstocket, Hilton, Rosemount, Bridge of Don, Tillydrone, Seaton, Ferryhill and surrounding areas, as well as postcode areas AB21, AB22, AB16, AB10, AB12, AB11, AB42. Originally from North East Aberdeenshire, she moved into Aberdeen 15 years ago with her family.

Her lessons are conducted in a calm, friendly and relaxed manner.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Aberdeen, learners repeatedly describe Leigh Stephen as a driving instructor who turns nervous beginners into confident, test-ready drivers. Several customers mention passing their driving test on the first attempt, often sooner than they had expected, and credit the calm, friendly atmosphere she creates during lessons. A point made in several accounts is her patience with anxiety behind the wheel: reviewers describe structured feedback, clear explanations of each manoeuvre, and a teaching style that breaks tricky skills into manageable steps. The LDC workbook and online hub are singled out as useful preparation between lessons, with learners arriving ready to build on what they had studied.

Reliability and professionalism are recurring themes, as is the way Leigh corrects problems carried over from earlier instruction and rebuilds self-belief. Former pupils describe her as approachable and easy to talk to, and note that she teaches safe driving for the long term rather than simply getting candidates through the test. Feedback is given calmly after each session, letting learners set goals and track their own improvement. The consistent picture is of patient, well-organised tuition that leaves people feeling prepared and reassured on the road.

I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor than Leigh. Her patience is bottomless, and her teaching style is calm, clear, and incredibly reassuring. She turns tricky maneuvers into easy steps and gives you the exact confidence you need behind the wheel. Thanks for everything.

Leigh is an absolute gem, I passed my test first time with full confidence! After a poor experience with a previous instructor, Leigh was incredible at helping me correct issues and regain confidence in myself and my driving. I cannot thank her enough! Any time anyone mentions learning to drive, I always recommend Leigh!

Leigh is a fantastic instructor!! I passed first time and quicker than I thought I would. My nerves got the best of me sometimes but she always brought me back down to earth and had a hanky to spare for all my tears! If your looking for an instructor, look no further! Leigh will teach you everything you need to know! Thank you again Leigh!
