Well done Brad, great result
Fantastic experience: After having a horrible experience prior, Pari made me feel comfortable and enjoy driving again. She explained things that my previous instructor didn’t to help understand what I was doing and why it was wrong then easily correcting it. Resulting in me passing first time absolute pleasure to be taught by her
Thank Selsebiel great result well done, Drive safely
Fantastic experience: Paul was a great instructor, helping me to pass my test first time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to start lessons. He also made sure we had a laugh which made the lessons enjoyable. Thanks Paul!
Cheers Cal great result look after yourself mate
Fantastic experience: Been around a few instructors and Paul was just by far the best, put the most effort in and made sure I was test ready. Don’t bother with these other places that offer you silly packages, I’ve been there and it’s a con, Monodrive was miles clear of the rest.
Cheers mate it’s been a pleasure, great test by the way pal
Fantastic experience: After a couple of poor experiences with other driving companies it was a great relief to learn with MonoDrive School, more specifically Ifty. Ifty made me feel at ease and confident about my driving, getting me through a first-time pass. Cheers Ifty.
Thanks Leo, well done great result. Drive safely
Fantastic experience: Paul has been a great instructor giving me loads of confidence and ability, I would highly recommend , and I passed 1st time . Thank you
It’s been good fun all the way through mate buzzing for you look after yourself pal
Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to have Ifty as my driving instructor, who was absolutely amazing, helping me pass first time! He was the best instructor I could have asked for as he was able to boost my confidence and could always calm my nerves with a quality dad joke. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Ifty. He's an excellent instructor, and I'd highly recommend him. He explains things really well and if you don't understand he'll talk it through again until you do. Thank you.
Great result Gemma, Well done thank you
Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Dave, passed first time today. Dave was fantastic, always reliable and on time. Prepared me for many scenarios that would come up on test, he’s stern when you mess up but exactly what you need if you are serious about being safe and passing. Thanks Dave!!
Thanks for the review David, great result today.
Fantastic experience: I’d love to give a massive thanks to Ifty for his help and dedication towards me passing first time! He was always on time and went the extra mile to accelerate my learning behind the wheel. I would recommend to absolutely anyone. Especially if you like the odd dad joke!

Fantastic experience: I passed my first time with 0 minors!! I could not have done it without my amazing instructor Pari. I was completely new to driving and Pari explained everything so clearly and simply. She really helped me build my confidence and was just overall so kind and supportive. I'm so glad I got given Pari as my instructor!
Thank you Oushani, brilliant result drive safely.
Fantastic experience: I was learning with Ifty and he was the best instructor anyone could have. He made lessons fun but also presented himself in a professional manner. He didn’t yell at me when I made mistakes, he let me make them and helped me learn from them. My siblings also learnt from him and we all passed first time. Amazing man!!!

Thanks Brad, great result well done
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Ifty who was an excellent instructor and a great guy too. I had previously had lessons so had some experience but wasn't particularly confident, and Ifty was able to put me at ease and give me the confidence needed to pass. Could not recommend highly enough.
Thanks Tom well done great result.

Cheers mate buzzing for you great result
Fantastic experience: I could not have passed my test without Paul. He helped me through all my nerves and was the best instructor highly recommended to anyone !!
Thanks Phoebe you fantastic
Fantastic experience: After having driving anxiety & years of trying to find the right instructor, I got given Pari by MonoDrive. I can’t explain how thankful I am for that decision. Pari explained everything so clearly, with helpful and simplified methods which remained memorable. She encouraged me at times when I wanted to give up & supported me throughout my driving journey. I passed first time with 4 minors & couldn’t have done it without Pari! She is a lovely instructor with patience, a calming presence and all in all an enjoyable instructor to learn with. Thank you so much Pari!
Thank you Sim, brilliant result well done
Fantastic experience: Dave was my instructor for a couple of weeks, and he was fantastic. I would recommend Dave to anyone in a heartbeat. He was friendly and made me feel relaxed. His teaching style was brilliant and I felt like I was actually learning from him, whereas I’ve had instructors before who I felt like I was just driving and not really picking up what I needed. Really thankful for being put under Dave’s guidance because I honestly don’t think I’d have passed without him. I passed on my first attempt with Dave with only 3 minors. Thanks again, I’ll point anyone in this direction!
Thanks Rachel, great result
Fantastic experience: Pari has been absolutely amazing, i was an anxious driver and scared to get into a car and Pari has built up my confidence and been so patient with me. She is incredibly calming and an amazing instructor to have. I passed first time with only 4 minors thanks to Pari! Cannot recommend her enough, so understanding and wonderful and such a lovely person
Thank you Jessica great result well done
Fantastic experience: i had iffty while learning to drive, he is a brilliant instructor he teaches very well.
Thanks James, great result drive safely
Fantastic experience: I had Pari, and when I say she is the best instructor I’ve ever had, I mean it! When I was looking for instructors about 3-4 months back, I didn’t feel like any of them were really helping me until I came across Pari. She has incredibly helpful and memorable methods to handle each aspect there is to driving which just stick to your brain like glue, and she’s very calm and makes you feel comfortable when driving. I passed first time with 5 minors, and it’s all thanks to her. Highly recommend!
Hi Sharfraz, well don’t great result
Fantastic experience: I've just passed my test with just 3 minora after having lessons in automatic with Harriet. She is an absolutely amazing instructor - so calm, friendly and professional, and was so incredibly supportive throughout the whole process of me learning to drive. I couldn't recommend her enough, thank you!!
Well done Heather brilliant result
Fantastic experience: I had around 20 lessons with MonoDrive and my instructor, Paul was very helpful in the process. I passed first time today with only 4 minors at 08:10am. Absolutely chuffed.

Fantastic experience: First time pass from monodrive with Ifty, cannot recommend enough, kind and patient
Well done great result
Fantastic experience: After having anxiety learning in a manual, I went to Harriet for some automatic lessons. She boosted my confidence & made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She truly cares about her students & is an asset to the Monodrive team. She is very professional and will be flexible where she can. I passed this morning, first time, with 1 minor and couldn’t have done it without her! I will really miss our lessons.

It’s been a pleasure helping you Caitlin and good fun, take care of yourself and drive safely as I know you will
Fantastic experience: Passed under Paul and could not recommend using him and Monodrive more to learn how to drive. Made me feel comfortable and confident as a driver and I want to say thank you to him for teaching me so well! Thanks Paul!

Thanks Katie, thank you it’s been a pleasure helping you you did superb.
Fantastic experience: I had Pari as my driving instructor and I couldn’t thank her enough for her time and patience while teaching me. I know I wouldn’t have been able to get the pass with out her. 100% would recommend.
Thank you Meg, great result, drive safely
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test with Pari who works for MonoDrive, Pari was an excellent teacher who was patient and understanding and helped me build my confidence on the road which I really appreciate her for. I passed with no minors thanks to Pari, she would constantly help me improve by giving me different ways to understand points I was struggling with. She is a very genuine instructor and doesn’t make you feel bad or shout at you for making mistakes which my previous instructors would, instead she explains you through them and what you can do to improve which would have me leaving my lessons feeling satisfied and happy rather than upset over a mistake i’d made. I would highly recommend learning with Pari she’s a brilliant driving instructor and a very kind person. :)
Thank you Halima, well done and thank you
Fantastic experience: If you’re thinking of taking lessons with Monodrive, do not think twice. I passed first time with Pari and honestly after two previous fails with a pretty bad instructor; not associated with Monodrive - I passed! Pari was incredible, she worked with me in fixing little faults I had never noticed were a problem. She was calm and explained thoroughly how to improve - rather than spoon feed information. What I learnt in a few hours with Pari by far was much more helpful than the previous 40 hours with my old instructor. When I’d passed, she shared the same excitement as me on the day and let me drive home too haha! I would highly recommend Monodrive and Pari to anyone - both my sisters will now be taking lessons with them! Thank you.
Thank you Uma much appreciated. Well done
Negative experience: I started at start of September. They assigned me to pari. I had told pari from the start i have my driving test on the 4th October. On our first lesson she assessed my driving and told me she was happy to take me for my test. After a couple of lessons with her she cancelled my lesson 15 mins before. Which she then managed to find me availability a couple days later. However i got a job so i could afford lessons and told pari i couldn’t do a lesson on Saturday as i had work. She told me her Available days are Wednesday, Saturday and Sundays . So i told her can i do wed or Sunday as im available she then said for me to find a new instructor that best fits my needs and then said goodluck and said this in a rude manner. This a shame really as 2 weeks before my test she has stopped my lessons all because i could not do a lesson which is a shame. Ive had to cancel my test. She wanted me to do 4 hours a week she was just after making quick money out of me.Poor customer service, rudeness from the instructor and no understanding.
Hi Iqra, I’m really sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your experience. I thought we’d already discussed this situation together privately. As you’d like to share your concerns publicly, I will address them publicly. I was sent your details over from Paul and it was agreed that you needed your test covered as you had not taken lessons with myself or any other Monodrive instructor prior. From our initial conversation over the phone you seemed confident with your driving, and so I assumed you would only need a few lessons to get you test ready. Your test being booked this October, you took your first lesson with me in September. After assessing your driving on your first lesson, my advice to you was that you needed quite a bit of help with your driving to get you test ready, including manoeuvres - which if you refer to the three lessons we had together, you’d remember this. I also asked about your previous experiences with your past instructors, as I’d questioned “why they were unable to cover your test” and your response was “your approach Pari towards me is so calm and so far you’ve helped me out so much - my previous instructors always shouted at me and belittled me, which broke my confidence” I sympathised with your situation Iqra, and I did agree to work with your timings prior to you getting a job to ensure you passed your test. Under the impression that you were available on the days I worked, didn’t have a job at the time, and only needing a few lessons before your test, I agreed to take you on. You agreed to take a Saturday slot. I was very clear from the beginning that I was fully booked on Wednesdays and Sundays. You then got your job, congratulations! However, it did clash with my timings. You demanded that I work on my days off to adhere to your schedule and asked if I could move around other pupils. My pupils have priority over students I am covering tests for. Again, I understand this would’ve been frustrating for yourself as you wanted more lessons. We both sat together and discussed that you wanted to take more lessons and now had a job to pay for these lessons - You suggested you could do 4 hours a week. I said I would take a look at my diary before getting back to you. It was not my fault that your timings were not working with mine. I tried to find you times I could squeeze you in - but again they weren’t convenient for you, as you’d completely ruled out a lesson on the Saturday. I’d like to clarify that I took you on in the beginning of September when you agreed you could have a lesson on Saturdays. You also had your test booked before taking three lessons with me. You got your job this Sunday and your timings changed and I unfortunately couldn’t offer you anything convenient for yourself and your newly proposed availability. The same week you told me this information is when I messaged suggesting you find a different instructor to better suit your availability. I am not responsible for the fact you booked your test without securing a driving instructor. I am not responsible for your schedule changing so close to your test date. I then messaged you politely and suggested that it would be in your best interest to find a different instructor, one in which could give you that extra time and work with your schedule. Not once did I mean this in a malicious way. I understand that’s how you’ve interpreted this, but that was not my intention. You then responded in a very upset and disrespectful manner, bringing up personal issues regarding my religion. Comments like this are not needed - especially when you are suggesting that I am “an evil person” and that “Allah will sort you out” it’s not surprise that I chose not to get back to you, as your comments had upset me. I have only given you three lessons in total. Not sure why you are suggesting we had a lot more lessons than that. I also did not cancel your lesson - I was stuck in traffic; when you get your license you’ll realise that
Fantastic experience: After years of bad experiences with driving instructors, and my confidence being knocked massively, I really can't thank Paul enough for all of his support, patience and expertise that has resulted in me today passing my driving test! I would recommend Paul a hundred times over, and can honestly say he has helped to change my life for the better. Can't thank you enough Paul!
Thanks Regan, it’s been a pleasure all the way through a good craic too you did fantastic pal, make sure you get that raise now take care mate
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Harriet at MonoDrive enough - passed first time with 2 minors thanks to her great teaching and lessons! Thanks so much!!!
Well done Megan, great result well done
Negative experience: Shockingly POOR service! I just called to enquire about booking some lessons working towards a test date in a month. Baring in mind I’ve had over 35hours of lessons and am driving independently I wanted an instructor local to the area as my test is at Shirley test centre and I’d need a few lessons to get set (pretty straight forward you’d imagine). The guy who I spoke to said my test date is in a month (again - I’m test ready but my current instructor had a family bereavement and I didn’t want to lose any practice time) he very abruptly made it clear he wasn’t willing to take me on because I’m not “one of his students” (??). When I pointed out that doesn’t make sense and fail to understand the reasoning he very rudely said; “we get these calls all the time” (You're a driving instructor so I’d imagine so!) before saying “it’s my company mate - cya” and hanging up. To say that was beyond unprofessional but incredibly rude on a basic human level is an understatement. I’ve never left a review about a company but was so shocked I felt compelled to convey my experience. His reasoning made no sense what so ever and his tact was severely lacking. If you’re looking for a cocky arrogant and rude man who seemingly has an overinflated sense of self - this is your guy! UPDATE to the response: The “all of this” is an accurate reflection of my experience with you (I’m assuming Dave) and not me having a strop because I “didn’t get my way” - I’m an adult. Again; your reasoning makes no sense and I don’t understand what’s “laughable” about contacting a driving school to book some driving lessons! The whole purpose of me calling was to meet an instructor, at which point a conversation could have been had. I’d understand if I called and said I’ve a test date in 4 weeks, my instructors dropped me, I have taken little/no lessons and expected you to have me test ready by then, but - that’s not the case. My instructor has had a family bereavement (I can’t help that) and is still able to commit to my test date if I need but understandably needs a bit of time to process. I’m conscious that every week counts leading up to my test and i wanted to be proactive in not loosing any of the learning/momentum I’ve worked hard to build up. Particularly as learning to drive has been the first independent thing I’ve done since completing my recent treatment for a brain tumour - it means a lot to me to (hopefully ) pass. I simply wanted to get some mocks booked in - that’s all. There’s nothing “laughable” or unreasonable about that. You’re response only further demonstrates the tact/unprofessionalism I encountered (not to mention your very poor grammar). I’ll take back/edit out the “one man band” comment which is fair enough. You’re behaviour and reasoning though - still stands. I hope you’re proud yourself. I don’t get the “old man” reference but feel free to call yourself whatever you like - you can call me Khy
Aww thanks Mr Khan, very much appreciated. We are a very successful driving school not a one man band, how rude and all this for refusing to take you for you’re test which in is 4 weeks time !! and we haven’t even met you, But obviously you are an excellent driver as you state what you after is a few lessons and us to take you Its quite laughable to be honest, another entitled “ I didn’t get my own way” stamp my feet kinda person. Good bye.
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Monodrive enough. I passed today at Shirley with only 1 minor fault, Having Paul as my instructor. Paul Is the nicest man and is always so patient. I can’t thank Paul enough for everything he has done for me since learning to drive. A brilliant driving school.
Thanks Freya, you absolutely smashed it young lady 10/10 I couldn’t be happier for you kid, good luck and of course drive safely. Take care Freya
Fantastic experience: I passed today with Harriet as my instructor she is so lovely and kind I couldn’t have done it without her. She’s very thorough and taught me how to take my time whilst driving I highly recommend and appreciate all the lessons with Harriet! Xxx
Well done Done Maryam, great result take care
Fantastic experience: First choice of driving lessons was to go with MonoDrive after getting so many recommendations from family and friends. Just passed 1st time in Shirley; had Dave as my instructor for manual lessons. Dave is a great instructor he is stern and honest in a good way as he taught me the safety of roads and getting rid of bad habits. Would highly recommend, thanks.
Thank you for the review and congratulations.
Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to Ifty for helping me pass my test first time. I was extremely nervous for most of our lessons but he was very patient and helped me get through my nerves to pass the test. Highly recommend Ifty and I can’t thank him enough for helping me pass.
Well done Shiv great result drive safely
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with 0 minors or majors with Ifty, one of the best driving instructors about
Cheers Zak great result will pass on to Ifty
Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Paul at MonoDrive. My son passed with zero faults. Brilliant driving instructor, built my son’s confidence back up after having a bad experience with another local driving school. Cameron felt at ease from the initial first lesson. In Cameron’s words his lessons were fun and Paul made things simple and easy to learn. Anyone looking for a driving instructor give Paul at Monodrive a call
Thanks Vicki much appreciated Cam did fantastic
Fantastic experience: I passed today with Harriet. She is honestly the best instructor and genuinely lovely woman to have known. Her professionalism and kind hearted, calm nature made my driving experience such an enjoyable one. I will truly miss my lessons. I recommend her to anyone who perhaps isn't a natural driver and finds it difficult or anxiety provoking. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou ☺️
Hi Rebekah, thanks for review great result.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Harriet at monodrive as she is a lovely driving instructor and is very friendly. She was very helpful in teaching me how to use the roads safely and ultimately helped me pass my driving test. Whenever I was unsure on anything she always made it clear I could contact her at anytime for help in understanding something which made me feel comfortable during my driving lessons, helped me gain understanding of the roads and feel more confident when driving. Thank you so much Harriet!
Well done Maya, and thank you drive safely
Fantastic experience: Harriet is very professional. I would highly recommend Harriet. My son passed first time. Thank you so much.
Hi Sam, thanks for the review, I will let Harriet know
Fantastic experience: The best instructor I could’ve had. Great person to be around and could have laughs and taught me to drive like an absolute expert thank you
Cheers dude great to help you, it was pleasure to teach you. Look after yourself and good luck for the future.
Fantastic experience: Great experience learning to drive with Paul, he's a great guy with some engaging stories and lots of experience. He matched my learning pace perfectly and so I passed in good time. It was a safe environment driving with him as was quick to fix mistakes while staying chilled. Would definitely recommend MonoDrive.
Cheers Joe you did great mate its pleasure helping you, glad I’d luck with your exams and Uni I’m sure you will do brilliant. Take care
Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving instructor. I had Paul as my driving instructor, and I would recommend him, he was great. I remember being nervous for my first lesson, like most people would be, but those nerves went away quicker than I thought thanks to Paul. I’ve now passed and have enjoyed my learning experience.
Cheers mate, you smashed it good luck with Uni, take care
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Paul at MonoDrive enough. He is an absolutely top class instructor, so knowledgable and knows exactly what you need to do to pass your driving test, and make you a confident driver for the future. I had zero driving experience before starting lessons, and Paul from the very beginning was friendly, calm and clear and had a great way of explaining things. Despite disruptions due to Covid and going to university, Paul would always work around my schedule to try and fit me in for lessons, and when I got my own car Paul was more than happy to take me out in it and build my confidence up to ensure a pass. Paul has transformed me from a nervous beginner to a confident young driver who passed first time with zero faults. His rates are very competitive given his expertise and experience, and I will genuinely miss our lessons as I have grown to really enjoy driving. If you are looking for an instructor, you can't get better than Paul and MonoDrive. Thanks again Paul, KRO
Thanks Lucymay I appreciate it, brilliant drive take care

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Paul at Monodrive. Learning to drive with him was such a fun experience. He is so friendly and I looked forward to every lesson. Paul was quick to respond and was flexible when I was booking my test. I was put at ease, understood his clear instructions and was encouraged to be confident in my ability. I have Paul to thank for passing first time! Looking forward to my motorway lesson!

Fantastic experience: Dave is on of the nicest, calmest and helpful instructors I could've asked for. He helped me pass my driving test with just 2 lessons!

I really appreciate all the help as I wouldn't be driving without him couldn't recommend him enough!!

Fantastic experience: I Recently passed my test thanks to Monodrive. My instructor was Dave who was extremely patient when I first was learning to drive and helped me lots in preparing for my test. Monodrive also allowed me to book extra lessons in the week leading up to my test to ensure I was ready and knew what to expect, which was very helpful for me.
Well done excellent result thanks for your review, drive safely
Fantastic experience: After numerous driving instructors over the last 2 years I finally found one that I felt comfortable with and felt confident to book my test, and managed to pass first time! I genuinely learnt so much from Paul, he was amazing and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone, especially if your feeling like giving up! This guy will get your confidence back.
Cheers Jeavon you did brilliant mate, it’s been a pleasure helping you pal. Drive safely

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Paul enough ! Passed my test first time with 0 minors, he has really built my confidence in driving and made the lessons really enjoyable
Thanks Betty, that’s an amazing result well proud of you. Drive safely
Fantastic experience: After plenty of recommendations from previous customers of paul’s, it was a without question that I contacted Paul for lessons when I was ready to learn how to drive. Paul is an excellent teacher, he worked around my work schedule, the lessons were extremely well thought out without a minute going to waste and he was constantly checking in with me in regards to how my driving was going with my parents etc to make sure that I was concentrating on the right things. When my test came closer Paul new exactly what to practice and how to calm any nerves or doubts I may have had and because of him I passed first time with 0 faults! It is clear to see that he puts time and effort into his lessons and listens to feedback from previous students carefully so that he can prepare his students in regards to routes from various test centres and what the examiners are looking for. I couldn’t fault Paul in any way shape or form and his prices are extremely competitive and a bargain compared to his level of skill and experience. Thanks for all your help Paul couldn’t have done it without you
Cheers Cal different class mate
Fantastic experience: So thankful I got Paul as my driving instructor, he has helped me so much with confidence and guided me through every lesson at my own pace to becoming a first time pass driver. Couldn’t recommend Paul enough for his great communication and friendly service!
Thanks Ellie you did brilliant drive safely
Negative experience: Absolutely disgusting instructor, Paul. Had my daughter in tears! Constantly cancelling lessons, always on his phone during lessons, shouting and abusive on lessons and then he dropped her 3 weeks before her test saying if she failed he doesn’t want her on his record!! Very abusive on the phone and extremely unprofessional. Avoid this joke of an instructor at all costs! Doesn’t deserve 1 star!
Apologies to any reader of this utter libellous and totally lying review, it is a bit of a lengthy reply, but I think that future pupils and parents who read this deserve an honest response to the lies that have been portrayed in this review. From the time of the first lesson with your daughter on 17th March we never had a cross word: I haven’t made her cry, was always polite, I told her she had great potential, giving her lots of praise and encouragement. I said she had a lot of natural ability and was not worried with the timescale, there were 19 weeks to her Driving Test; the Test being booked before her first lesson with me. The test is now in 3 weeks’ time. Since her 1st lesson, she has only had 2 more; one of which was this week. Looking back at documented records, lessons were booked at your daughter’s request at extremely sporadic intervals (7th March 2022, 28th March 2022 & 15th June 2022). With regards cancellations of lessons, I only cancelled one due to a mechanical fault with my car on the day. Other cancelations were down to your daughter. These records I can make available to you if you wish to see them. It would be extremely unprofessional of me to take a pupil to Test if I felt they were not to Test standard. With 25 years’ experience I think it is fair to say that I am not a bad judge of this. I explained to your daughter today, that due to lack of lessons, I felt she was not ready for her Test with 3 weeks to go. In fact, I messaged her on 30th May to express this point. I explained to her this morning that if she wished to take the test in her own car, which she states to drive better than mine, and is also totally different to my car, (hers being a 1-litre petrol and mine a 2-litre diesel), then it would be her choice to do so. She has not even come close to getting used to my car with only 3 lessons in 14 weeks. She informed me that she thought her clutch or gears were wearing and so she did not think this would be an option. I do not teach pupils to pass Driving Tests. I teach pupils to drive safely for life, as set out in the DVSA Guidelines, and this is what is expected of me. I suggest that you read through the 100’s of reviews on Google, yell.com, Facebook and Instagram before you submit such an outrageous libellous review, and I will address this to your wife, as you have used her Gmail account to submit this review. Regarding the ‘abusive’ phone calls I took from you today- shouting that I had “dumped your daughter with 3 weeks to go to her Test”- this I did not appreciate. I will never tolerate confrontational comments that question my professional integrity. There is one thing I never do in my profession and that is to cut corners with teaching pupils to drive. I never did it with my own children when teaching them, and I do not do it with anyone else’s. Three lessons in 14 weeks does not work. Again, a suggestion, make sure your daughter has the adequate amount of lessons to make her safe enough to be on her own when she passes. Three in fourteen weeks doesn’t do it really does it? As I said earlier I have all the lessons and messages documented. I do wish your daughter all the best, and suggest that she finds an instructor to do the required amount of work, giving her the best possible chance of passing her Test. Paul Monaghan Monodrive

Fantastic experience: Cannot thank Paul enough getting me through passing my driving test first time! I was someone that had a fear of driving and now feel confident to be driving around on my own! Will be highly recommending MonoDrive to all my friends and family. During COVID it has been a difficult time for student and instructor and Paul has been very supportive and patient with me throughout my journey to passing!
Thanks Em, well proud of you, you did fantastic it’s been a pleasure. Drive safely
