Larissa Driving School

Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed first time with Larrissa !!! Not only did she teach me how to drive to pass for my test but taught me how to drive as an actual driver. I feel truly blessed that I found Larrissa driving school !! She’s amazing!! If you look for a driving instructor go with Larrissa 1000 % you would not regret it ! You will learn so much and how to be confident and most importantly how to be a safe driver on the road !! Larrissa is so kind and understanding if you are struggling with something she would ensure that you understand fully !! She is also so fun to chat with you would never get bored with her like I said if you are looking for an instructor I insist go with Larrissa driving school !!!

Fantastic experience: Larissa’s driving lessons were a game changer! From day one, she got me driving with confidence—and even enjoying it! She made tricky maneuvers like parallel parking simple and stress-free. Her lessons were fun, relaxed, and super effective. Thanks to her, I passed on my first try! If you’re looking for a great instructor, Larissa is the one.

Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed first time in London with Larissa! She not only taught me drive—but, more importantly—taught me to be a safe, confident driver. (For context, I’m in my late 20s and have been struggling to learn how to drive for the past 3 years. I failed my practical test twice in a different part of the UK. I started with Larissa 6 months ago with over 100 driving hours. I was a hesitant driver with more than a few bad and beginner habits.) We spent 99% of the time on the road, learning by doing and spending very little time in the books. I couldn’t be happier with her teaching style! We throughly went through all aspects of driving and I quickly shed those bad habits. She was so patient with me, even when I needed to repeat some bits over and over. Larissa is so kind and so understanding. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to switch up our usual lesson times and Larissa accommodated me without issue and sacrificed her time for me. We had some really lovely chats and we both got to know each other as people. I can’t praise Larissa enough!! I’m ready to be on the road as confident, safe driver all thanks to Larissa’s Driving School. I honestly can’t recommend her enough! I’m so happy I made that call those months ago. She is such a lovely person and the perfect instructor for me :)

Negative experience: It's taken me some time to leave this review as I wanted to make it as fair and factual as possible. I've broken my experience of 7 lessons down into pros and cons in a hope it will help others. For reference I am 30, have had 1 previous driving instructor and I was a very nervous learner. Cons: Larissa cancelled multiple lessons last minute or just forgot I had a lesson at all, she shout and swore at me when I did things incorrectly or I wasn't learning fast enough. She would use also her phone during the lessons, which I found distracting. If I said I didn't understand something Larissa frequently compared my progress to other students, telling me that "nobody else struggles with that". She has no patience for traffic and lacks professionalism toward other road users. Pros: She is funny and wasn't afraid to push me outside of my comfort zone. I found another instructor in my area who is kind, patient and calm.

Fantastic experience: Larissa is the third instructor I’ve had and I passed first time with her. I cannot speak highly enough of her teaching style and practical approach. She teaches not only to help you pass but how to drive in realistic scenarios. If you are looking for an instructor, Larissa is a great choice and would highly recommend taking lessons with her!!

Fantastic experience: I am super pleased with my experience with Larissa. Initially I had another instructor but wasn’t making much progress. However Larissa’s techniques worked wonders and I ended up passing my practical test first time! The lessons were a lot of fun and I actually looked forward to them as we would try new things each time. Thank you! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I originally started learning with another instructor. I used to leave the car soaked in sweat, hating my lessons and having the constant feeling I was barely learning anything with him. Then came Larissa, who made me fall in love with driving. She's turned me into a safe and intuitive driver, undoing some of the robotic habits I got from that other guy. Moreover, I'm now confident I could hire a car almost anywhere in the world and do good. It's important that when you are learning to drive, you are enjoying the process. She makes that really easy. And if that wasn't enough convincing, she has an amazing sense of humour, so you'll get a laugh out of your lessons as well!

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor! Very patient and great fun to learn with. I highly recommend Larissa!! I passed first time with only four minors.

Fantastic experience: Larissa is the best driving instructor you could ask for, and then some. She got me up to the required standard to pass very quickly. Importantly, driving with her is great fun. Larissa has a great sense of humour, makes you feel relaxed and puts you in a good mood every time you set off for a lesson. I would give her 6 stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is an amazing driving instructor, she gave me so much confidence in driving and always made me laugh during our lessons. Our lessons always felt really relaxed while still learning so much! Would 100% recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Larissa after things not coming together for me with 2 previous instructors. She tackles things head on with a great practical approach ; I really liked the way she worked with me to build my confidence back up. Not only did I found my driving mojo, I also passed first time - which 3 months ago i would never have thought possible…If you’re looking for an instructor who will help you find the best ways to learn, mixed with a great sense of humour to put you at ease - I can highly recommend Larissa. Thank you ☺️

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. Thoroughly enjoyed learning with Larissa. She's to the point, authentic, and provides great company when driving. From a teaching perspective, she was exactly what I needed in a teacher. In all honesty, if you need a lot of coddling whilst learning Larissa might not be for you, but if you need someone who gives it to you straight and teaches you well, then Larissa is definitely for you. Would very much recommend. 5/5

Fantastic experience: Larissa is a amazing driving instructor you will have a laugh and an awesome time, she is very good at explaining what to do. And will explain to you how to better yourself. I passed the first time, and I will miss the times we had as I valued her expertise and guidance.

Fantastic experience: After passing my driving licence in South Africa over 20 years ago and not converting to a UK licence, I made the step to get my UK driving licence. Larissa was a great instructor and helped me navigate learning to drive in the UK and I passed first time at Morden. I was her 5th student in a row taking their test and passing 1st time! Larissa is easy to talk to during your driving lessons and took me through the Morden area and all the tricky parts so I would be comfortable driving there during my test. She will teach you to drive with confidence!!

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best instructor I’ve ever had. Larissa was my third and finally driving instructor. Having sadly used a local driving school (Earlsfield) and having wasted my money on lessons with them, I took to the internet to find a new driving instructor to pass my test. Thank god I came across Larissa. She made driving so enjoyable, and has been the only one of my instructors to do so. She taught me more in one lesson than I learnt in 10 lessons with the previous driving school. Thanks to Larissa, I’ve passed today, first time with 2 minors. Over the moon, and will miss our lessons ❤️

Fantastic experience: I came to Larissa from another driving instructor I had for around 4 months, and since that first lesson I felt I had learnt so much more and how to (actually) drive. I clearly made the right decision! Larissa has made me feel so much more confident in myself and each lesson she never fails to make me laugh, she is very fun to be around. I passed today and am so grateful to have been taught by her and would 100% recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: An absolutely great find of an instructor. Larissa gave me the guidance, skills and confidence to pass my test first time. She can judge exactly what you need, when you need it and gives you the opportunity and space to demonstrate your abilities. Highly recommended! Thanks, Larissa!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is an amazing teacher and a lovely woman! Book with her and you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my test first time with Larissa so as you can imagine this will be a great review. As much as I could be tempted to say it was my natural ability and genius that led to my driving success, and btw that is how I usually accredit my general success in life, it wouldn't be true in this scenario. I started off my lessons nervously, but she's really good at making you feel comfortable driving. She has a very natural style to teaching and it was a pleasure to learn with her - many times I actively looked forward to finishing work and going out for a chat & drive with her. Anyhow, I've probably procrastinated enough from work in the writing of this review, so it must come to an end now. But if you have read up until this point then you're probably the perfect person to team up with Larissa and achieve ultimate driving success LIKE ME. Btw Larissa, this is Matt W, I made my Google account when I was 14 and this was the name I chose. It was the name of my Italian footballer on my FIFA career mode, just in case you were wondering. Wow they really need to put a character limit on these reviews because I don't know how a review could even be so long. Oh it's probably for those really pretentious food reviewers

Fantastic experience: Passed my test with Larissa first time! She's an amazing all round instructor and person, she'll instil confidence and pass on invaluable experience for any new drivers. I was a nervous driver and she completely turned me around, I feel safe and confident on the road thanks to her. Her lessons are very engaging and she's got a unique personable way of making you understand where to improve. I highly recommend her! And thank you for all the laughter Larissa!

Fantastic experience: Larissa was a great find for me when I was looking for a driving instructor. She made the process of learning to drive in London engaging and gave me a lot of confidence through her teaching. She was really in my corner from the beginning and I thoroughly enjoyed all of our lessons. She even made herself available on Christmas Eve last year to take me to my test. Thanks for all your hard work Larissa!

Fantastic experience: Larissa was the best driving instructor i could have asked for. She was so helpful from my first lesson to my last and i couldn’t have passed without her. Not only a great driving instructor but a very nice person with great conversations to be had. Highly, highly recommended :)

Fantastic experience: Thank you !!!! Great experience and great reward, I can recommend Larrisa to get you trough the adventurous driving in the sw part of london and make you feel comfortable and a better driver and is just up to you to go with your nerves during the test .For me was a great experience and I feel safer and ready to drive after lessons with the best instructor ever. Much appreciated and the reward will come at the end.

Fantastic experience: Best instructor out there! Larissa was very patient and understood my strengths and weaknesses. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Larissa is a phenomenal instructor! She is knowledgeable and passionate about instructing/coaching using the correct techniques of driving to ensure you become a safe, competent and confident driver. An excellent communicator, her lessons are informative and yet entertaining. She does not settle for mediocrity but pushes you to reach your best. Always brimming with enthusiasm and a can do attitude she says, "let's go get your licence". Thanks a million Larissa for helping me to pass my test. You are simply the best! I would highly recommend her anytime.

Fantastic experience: Larissa is an amazing instructor! She's the only instructor I've had that didn't feel like a robot doing the job as an obligation. You can tell she loves teaching and is the best at it. With only a few lessons I felt super confident and comfortable behind the wheel which showed during my test. I passed on the very first attempt and wasn't even nervous thanks to Larissa's guidance. 100% recommended! P.S. When she asks you to duck, JUST DUCK DOWN! You'll thank me later. ;)

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Larissa enough. She made me fall in love with driving and lessons with her were always packed with laughter. She’s a great instructor and understands how to make you a confident driver. Thank you Larissa for all the time and effort you put into getting me through!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, amazing person! Larissa helped me get through the driving test after some terrible experiences elsewhere... Cannot recommend a driving school more. Really made it a seamless experience and now I'm ready for the road.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t asked for a better instructor and person to learn with especially after short notice she got me a pass first time

Fantastic experience: Larissa is an excellent driving instructor and helped me pass first time - would definitely recommend! She's also a lovely person - easy to chat to for 2 hours! :)

Fantastic experience: I wanted to learn to drive as per my to do list for the summer but never knew anyone that could teach me. I researched Larissa Driving School as it was close to my address. She was a god send. Long story short I passed my test on 31st august first time and only started lessons 4-5 weeks prior. I am now driving at 17. She is for me the best driving instructor in South-West London. She makes you feel very comfortable and she reassures you whilst driving. She is very patient yet hilarious on each lesson. She has a very high pass rate and she definitely earns it. I would definitely recommend her to everyone young and old as she is a very good teacher and I can guarantee you'll pass P.S If she says duck make sure you duck !!!

Fantastic experience: Larrissa is just the best! I needed refresher lessons as I had not driven in 10 years, never in the UK (left side of the road!) and am required to drive for a new job. She booked me in with a very short notice, made me feel comfortable straight away and was super professional. This is just what I needed to make me feel confident even though I am usually a pretty stressed person. The banter and laughs were the cherry on top, I highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: It was great learning with Larissa. She was a laugh and a great teacher. Would recommend. ✌️

Fantastic experience: Larissa is a wonderful instructor and an even better person! Super responsible and sincere, she put me at ease about my skills and I always felt confident. Lessons were super fun and relaxed. Just passed my test today! I would give her 10 stars if I could. Totally recommended!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is a wonderful teacher and just an all round lovely person. In my time in getting to know her she has managed to make me into a confident driver - something that without her hard work and dedication I don't think I would have been able to achieve. I would highly recommend anyone to take lessons with her!!

Fantastic experience: Look no further. Larissa was the best driving instructor I could have asked for, I was taking my lessons and test around the school exam season and summer holiday season and with her being very flexible I was able to fit in the lessons around them which was a massive help. She is able to teach in a way that just makes sense so its easy fly along as well as her whimsical humour. Honestly they don't feel like lessons just a load of fun. Thanks Larissa

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Larissa I managed to pass the test first time with zero minors. The lessons were really enjoyable and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend Larissa Driving School.

Fantastic experience: Larissa is a top driving instructor! Straight up and down to earth which creates a comfortable learning environment!! I fully recommend her services. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: FIRST TIME PASSSS!!! Larissa makes her lessons very enjoyable and relaxed whilst keeping it very proffesional. I passed first time with her. She pushed me to my full potential and boosted my road confidence in ways in which i would have never imagined. She tailored each lesson to work with what my weaknesses were, whist helping me with my road anxiety. I literally cannot fault her whatsoever!! Passing first time was bittersweet as i truly will miss our road adventures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is very kind person, and I'm more than happy to meet her and finally get my driving licence after 12 years of learning how to drive. She can make even a worst driver to pass their tests. Very professional, and have a lots of tips and experience to share. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Obsoletely amazing person and instructor! I've passed my test on a 2nd time. With 5 minor mistakes. Also, were brilliant helped me to get rid of a bad habits with a clutch, steering and changing a gear what I've learned from a different instructors such as: "Bradleys". Money and time wasters! Thank you Larrisa for a great time and lots of FUN!

Fantastic experience: One of the best instructors out there in UK & Europe! Great personality and very strong charisma! She was my 6th Instructor and thx to Larissa I've passed my exam. She talks a lot, sometimes even too much. However, its always fun with her and its a great atmosphere in the car! Highly recommended! Thank you Larissa!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is an amazing instructor. I had trouble finding the right teacher until Larissa and she helped me pass my test first try. She teaches you to become a more aware and natural driver rather than mechanically following traditional driving steps without thinking. No lesson is boring and she is amazing fun. Thanks Larissa!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is an absolute delight of a driving instructor. Lessons are fun and very helpful/informative. Could not recommend her enough to anyone looking to pass their driving test. Definitely get in contact and book some lessons with her!!

Fantastic experience: Never a dull moment with Larissa, she's a fantastic instructor with a great sense of humour and she gave me the confidence to just drive without an overload of too much information at once. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor! Always very patient, and helps to build confidence gradually right from the start of your lessons, and she doesn't get annoyed at any mistakes. never cancelled or was late to a lesson, and was extremely accommodating. Made the process of learning to drive enjoyable, and I would recommend Larissa to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I've found Larissa. IveI gave up on my driving after failing 4 times with RED. I found Larissa and decided to give myself another chance. Today I have passed my driving test and it's all thanks to her. If you like a friend along this journey, Larissa is your driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Am a driver with years of experience who moved to London recently. London driving is different and requires adaptation.

Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Larissa! She is an amazing instructor and we always had a laugh on every lesson.

Fantastic experience: Larissas’ approach to driving is one that inspires confidence from day one. Her extensive knowledge of driving, and her ability to cater the learning experience to the individual is what sets her apart from rest. Our lessons where also some of the funnest parts of my week! And if that weren’t enough, she got me through first time. I’m glad to have not just gained my liscneve from this, but also a friend. I can’t recomend Larissa enough P.S she is also mad funny. James

Fantastic experience: I felt worried about learning to drive, and not even sure how move the car. Larissa taught me in a straightforward and logical way. Everything was set out for me. Soon my confidence grew, and i kept on taking the next challenge. I passed with 28 hours with Larissa and I still feel like I learnt a lot more than you need to know for the test. Because of our lessons I feel like a safe yet confident driver. Couldnt recommend her enough to anyone.

Sne makes the lessons enjoyable because she is hilarious but is also calming in stressful times (country girl learning to drive in London) Thanks for helping me get a first time pass! You are the best

Fantastic experience: I only have great things to say about Larissa. I passed first time with 4 minors. She's very helpful all the time, patient and calm, very clear when giving instructions and directions and always happy to help when stuck. First time driving a car was with her and only after 2 hours I already could tell that lessons were going to be something to look forward to. Larissa has an excellent skill for teaching you how to drive at the same time as giving you the confidence you need to pass. Very professional and friendly, would recommend her to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is not just an amazing instructor but also an amazing person. Her teaching method is very efficient she is very reliable, incredibly supportive and teaches you more than what you actually need to pass your test, she is very honest who takes responsibility and put pressure on herself to teach you everything step by step to become a good driver. She has lots of knowledge and experience you will notice that in your first hours driving session with her. I passed first time with Larissa and truly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Larissa.

Fantastic experience: Larissa is a really great driving instructor, always on time and easy to arrange lessons. Really friendly and reliable, she teaches in a way that's easy to understand, it helps you learn really quickly! The lessons are informative but fun at the same time and I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: What a TOP lady!! Unlike a lot of instructors and companies out there, Larissa’s sole focus is to make her students proficient and safe drivers. I came to Larissa having had a LONG break from behind the wheel and some questionable past tuition!! Very quick to catch on if there is a certain element of driving that you are less comfortable with, Larissa goes above and beyond to help you overcome any fear and she prioritises those weaker points. Larissa’s lessons are informative, keep you on your toes but above all, FUN! If you are looking for an instructor who is genuine, has your best interest at heart, and likes to have a great laugh at the same time, then get in touch with Larissa’s Driving School ASAP. Still buzzing because… We got that first time pass!! WOO HOO!! Thank you so much Larissa, for everything.

Fantastic experience: Had great lessons and really help calm my nerves and got me to enjoy driving. :)

Fantastic experience: Learning how to drive with Larissa is like learning how to tame a lion! Larissa uses unconventional ways to teach. If you are a confident, tough and an open-minded learner, then Larissa is your perfect match. Through driving with her, you will learn not only motor skills, but even more so, yourself. Each driving lesson is almost like a therapy session. I have realised how tunnel-visioned I was, and this valuable lesson has turned me into someone better and stronger. Thank you, Larissa!

Thank you so much for putting in the late evenings and early mornings with me. I couldn't have done this without you! Without a doubt the best driving instructor there is!

Fantastic experience: Larissa is a very good driving instructor and doesn't make it complicated at all. After having some driving lessons with another driving instructor I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere. However, Larissa was committed to giving me the best training as well as making me feel very comfortable behind the wheel which I think is so important. Her teaching style is very effective, she is a very confident instructor with loads of experience and knowledge. I will be recommending her to all my friends who want to learn how to drive.

Fantastic experience: Larissa makes your experience enjoyable and as easy as possible. She cares so much and only wants you to pass. I passed first time with her and wouldn't of wanted a different instructor. Would 100% recommend her to anyone!!
