A word from the Founder

"From My Journey to Yours"

Starting a women-only driving school wasn’t something I always planned — it came from my own experience, my struggles, and a very real understanding of what it feels like to not have the right support.

When I was learning to drive, I remember how uncomfortable I felt. I was nervous, unsure, and honestly, a little intimidated. I wanted to ask questions, take my time, and feel understood — but I didn’t always get that. I knew I couldn’t be the only one who felt that way.

Over time, I met so many women who had put off learning to drive for years — not because they didn’t want to, but because they didn’t feel confident enough, or they couldn’t find a female instructor they felt safe and comfortable with. That really stuck with me.

So I decided to create something different.

ZAPP LADIES 1ST is a driving school built with care, patience, and purpose. I wanted to offer women a space where they could learn without pressure, ask anything without feeling silly, and go at their own pace — whether that’s slow and steady or fast-tracked with an intensive course.

This isn’t just a business for me — it’s personal. I know what it’s like to feel held back, and I also know how powerful it feels to finally take control of the wheel, literally and figuratively.

If I can help even one individual feel confident enough to get out there and drive, then this is all worth it.

STILL NOT SURE?
