Amazing

Sarah is the best instructor I could’ve asked for. Going into driving lessons I was so nervous and now I’m really confident in myself and enjoy driving on my lessons so so much - all thanks to Sarah and her patience and understanding and fab teaching. I could not recommend them enough!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than Sarah! She was patient, understanding and made lessons feel lighthearted without too much pressure. As someone who struggles socially, she made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Would 100% recommend, I passed first time!

I passed with Sarah and and couldn’t recommend her enough. She was so friendly and put me at ease as I was nervous having failed 2 tests during covid. I’ve been driving 6 months now and still feel really confident. 10/10

I passed with Tom in 2022 and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was so patient with me and I felt really confident by the time I sat my test. I passed 1st time which is something I never thought I’d do! I’ve been driving nearly 2 years now and still look back on my lessons fondly.

Review from Ysobel - passed 29/04/24

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah massively helped me get back into lessons when I was left super anxious with disrupted learning during covid. She’s really supportive and knowledgeable and always made me feel safe and secure and helped me pass first time with only 1 fault - something I never thought would be on the cards for me! Really honestly cannot recommend her enough, for first time drivers or returners or literally anyone. An all round lovely person and brilliant instructor!!

Sarah is the best driving instructor. She was so patient and kind to me even when it took me a long time to get my parallel park right! She was always very kind and supportive, and all over a great driving instructor. Thank you Sarah!

Review from Franklin - passed 24/04/24

Sarah is an amazing teacher. She’s accommodating with planning lessons and gives you good freedom on what you want to cover each lesson. She’s the right mix of encouraging and forgiving while still holding you accountable enough so that you learn quickly. Would recommend highly!

Review from Kate - passed 15/08/22

I couldn't recommend Tom more highly as a driving instructor. He's a calm, funny, reassuring presence and I always came away from our lessons with a clear idea of the progress I'd made and anything I needed to work on. I passed my test first time and all credit goes to Tom for that - brilliant instructor and person, couldn't have asked for better.

Review from Ashley - passed 03/08/23

Tom is an excellent driving instructor! He was very patient and supportive during our lessons, explained things to me really well and when I occasionally did make mistakes he made sure I didn't beat myself up about the mistake and instead turned them into learning experiences which helped me massively 10/10 would recommend.

Review from Emerson - passed 14/12/22

Tom was a super calm and reassuring driving instructor. Learning to drive whilst studying can be a stressful time but I was able to feel safe and confident driving and passign my test all because of Tom. If you're scared to drive or need a calm and supportive person to help you learn I would highly recommend Tom as your driving instructor!!

Review from Matt - passed 01/05/24

Thomas was a phenomenal instructor with lots of patience for me as a new driver. He was happy to assist at all times where I felt nervous or unsure about what to do, never once leaving me to panic. He always gave encouragement and advised me to follow my instincts as I would often second guess myself.

Review from Ruby - passed 23/05/22

Tom was an excellent driving instructor. I had no previous experience and I was up and out on the roads in no time. I’m very confident driver and have passed two years ago and have never faced any issues driving. The environment was calm supportive and safe. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor!
