Fantastic experience: Sara taught my daughter who has just passed her test. She inspired her with confidence and was friendly and professional. I can't recommend her more highly.

Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor very down to earth and helpful. Got me to pass first time and feel safe on the roads by myself.

Fantastic experience: I had put off learning to drive again for 10 years having failed previous tests (with other instructors). Sara believed in me from the very beginning. When I started my lessons at the end of June, she said I would be able pass by August - and here we are! Sara is calm, patient and quickly picked up on areas I wasn’t confident with or needed to improve on - pushed me out of my comfort zone and therefore able to tailor lessons to my individual needs. She is incredibly encouraging and went above and beyond - even taking me out for a lesson on her day off because my test day was coming up. If anyone needs a driving instructor, I would recommend Sara over and over again! Sara - thank you so much and helping me build confidence on the roads again.

Fantastic experience: My daughter passed her driving test first time this morning. Sara was a fun and patient teacher with nerves of steel! She managed to in-still confidence into my 17 year old who was very nervous not a natural behind the wheel. We highly recommend Sara for her professionalism but also for her warm and friendly personality. My daughter really looked forward to her lessons with Sara and will now really miss her. Thank you so much for everything!

Fantastic experience: Sara has been an incredible instructor. I was 4 months pregnant when I started lessons with her and she made sure I have the license before I have the baby and it happened ! She is so clear with the instructions and like a great teacher, she lets you take control and intervene only when necessary. I enjoyed learning with her and very quickly gained confidence. I can not recommend her enough for her determination and skills as an instructor. I am extremely grateful to have learned with her.

Fantastic experience: Sara is an amazing instructor who helped me gain confidence and believe in my ability more. Ever since I met her she helped me to become a driver that passed my the practical assessment first time. I can only say that if you have her as your instructor that you’ll excel. She is worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I’d been putting off driving for years, having not really had need for a car while commuting into London, but personal circumstances changed and I decided I couldn’t really be without a licence for any longer. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than Sara, who is fantastic at tailoring her lessons to the individual learner, working at your pace and making you feel at ease. She has been incredibly generous with her time, goes above and beyond for her pupils, and helped me not only grow in confidence behind the wheel but also start to enjoy driving - something I never thought possible! Sara, I cannot thank you enough.

Fantastic experience: Sara is a lovely instructor, very friendly and professional. She is a very good teacher and would 10/10 recommend. First time pass :)

Fantastic experience: I am very grateful for what Sara has done for me and to get me where I am today passing my test. She has helped me be more confident on the road and your lessons were very well structured and thank you for everything x

Fantastic experience: Excellent tuition from Sara, she was patient, clear and had confidence in me, I passed first time. I would highly recommend Sara's driving school.

Fantastic experience: Would thoroughly recommend Sara for anyone who needs driver training in and around the Coulsdon area. Tenacious and amazing in getting driving tests booked and a great and calm teacher. No hesitation in recommending.

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure learning with Sara. Really nice genuine person and will do anything to help you pass the test. she makes me feel at ease when driving, and i couldn't have done it without her. One of the best instructors i have come across.

Fantastic experience: All the best things to say about learning to drive with Sara. I'm really glad to have Sara teach me to drive (not just because I passed my driving test, although that does sweeten it a bit!). What a difference they made. It's amazing having the freedom and just being able to drive now. I still remember that very first lesson. I had not driven for some years (15+!) and there we were, changing gears and the journey began. I also have some favourite 'key takeaways' I will try and remember: to think about 'planning' and 'you never know what type of day a person has had' to help remain calm and safe, and maybe even nurture a bit of kindness and rationality on the roads. I would recommend her for everyone. Looked forward to the lessons and will look out for that car in Coulsdon and Redhill! Also much love for the 'rear demister' button, that is super clearly labelled in Sara's car - one less thing to worry about if you get that question in the test :)

Fantastic experience: Sara was very professional & friendly, which gave my daughter alot of confidence in learning to drive. She was also great at communicating & very proactive in finding both theory and practical test slots on our behalf, saving us much stress! I would happily recommend Sara's Driving School to anyone wanting a fantastic instructor.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sara as I truly enjoyed having driving lessons with her. She's very professional, patient and committed. She made me feel confident and relaxed whilst driving. She put me out of my comfort zone but always knowing I could face the challenges. For all of that, I thank you Sara - I had a great time learning with you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I am really glad I chose Sara. She is one of the best driving instructors who constantly motivates you and helps clear all the doubts you've got. Sara is extremely calm and professional and makes you feel confident with her constant encouragement. Her learning techniques are easy to follow. I'm definitely proud that I passed under her guidance. If you are looking for a driving instructor don't search much as Sara's the one to get trained under and have an excellent learning experience.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving instructor. My daughter looked forward to every lesson. Friendly, very reliable, organised, teaches and explains very well. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Sara is the best! I’ve gone through lots of instructors and there was no one who got me to a test and made me feel confident.. So friendly and explains everything so well! Sara really makes you feel at ease which is so important when you’re learning and feeling nervous! Thank you. So much! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Sara is patient, professional and managed to get me over my horrendous test-related nerves. Thank you so much for everything Sara.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing my daughter loved having Sara. Started her lessons in April passed by June , Sara booked her test for her also as so hard to find now due to backlog from Cov19. Cannot recommend enough. Patient, and amazing

Fantastic experience: Sara is very patient and understanding. She’s a lot more patient than my ma. She helped me overcome my weaknesses and made me a confident driver in a foreign country. Alas, I was able to pass my driving test today! Thank you Sara.

Fantastic experience: Best recommendations for driver instructor Sara from Sara's Driving school for teaching me driving on manual during tough coronovirus times and passing first time at Redhill Aerodrome test centre. She is local, extremely pleasant to study with, has great experience and even coped well with my pregnancy while teaching.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Sara’s lessons are packed full but still really fun and she‘s really patient and great with improving nerves. After having a few instructors, I started with Sara and never looked back!

Fantastic experience: Sara is an INCREDIBLE instructor! She’s patient and great if you have anxiety. She’s empathetic and improved my driving so much from problems I didn’t even realise were problems. Now I’m a super confident driver and it’s all because of her. She is very Covid safe and a joy to be taught by.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving instructor. Our son passed first time.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Sara! My son passed first time and thoroughly enjoyed his learning experience. Sara’s lessons are practical from the start and she also worked closely with us advising on how to help him practise. An exceptional driving school.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Sara highly enough. My son passed this morning thanks to Sara who kept everything so simple and in perspective. My other kids spent a lot of time and money with other instructors - I wish they had known of Sara when they were learning. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Sara enough! As someone who had previously failed driving tests and had little confidence I was so nervous going out for my first lesson but Sara was amazing. She pushed me out of my comfort zone and showed me what to work on - exactly what I needed! She gave me the confidence to book a last minute test after just 4 hours of refreshers with her. Sara is the sort of instructor that makes you feel at ease and I cannot thank her enough.

Fantastic experience: Sara is such a lovely lady, she really helped me with my test and passing first time! Couldn’t have asked for a more helpful, informative instructor! Thank you so much Sara!!

Fantastic experience: Probably the best instructor you’ll find to be honest. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: Honestly couldn’t recommend anyone better than Sara! Absolutely lovely driving instructor who made the whole process so much better and comfortable to go through. She’s so patient and ensured you're confident and comfortable at all times and going out of her way to ensure the best for you. I passed first time due to her amazing instructions and confidence in me and from her ensuring I became confident in the areas I was least confident in. Thrilled to have passed but also gutted to not be out driving with Sara anymore. Definitely the best instructor there is, without a doubt!

Fantastic experience: Excellent patient and friendly instructor. Got me through my test in under six months of lessons. Highly recommended. Flexible and easy going instructor who knows her stuff and will put you at ease if you are nervous on your driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: I’m really thankful for Sara in helping me learn how to drive. She really motivated me from the beginning and my confidence grew each lesson we took. She eased my fears and it got to a point that I was ready for the test and to pass. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Sara. You have been an outstanding driving instructor . I would definitely recommend Sara .If like me you suffer from anxiety , I also have dislexia too I would definitely recommend Sara .

Fantastic experience: I used to hate my driving lessons, but a few lessons with Sara made me feel really confident on the road and also made me actually enjoy driving. She was really patient with me and made me feel at peace. She cared about my driving as much a I did, which is what made her a good instructor. Also, is very down to earth and doesn't patronise, makes you feel comfortable in the car.

Fantastic experience: I’m so, so glad that I learnt to drive with Sara and thanks to her I passed my test first time! I’ve been driving for a number or years on and mostly off due to ill health. Although, I had experience I really didn’t have any confidence. I honestly gained more confidence in my first lesson than I did in six weeks of driving with a different instructor. Lessons are packed and you learn a lot, but they are still really enjoyable and fun. Also, so valuable to have teaching not just to get you through the test successfully but to enable you to be safe on the roads. Driving lessons were hard for me due to multiple health problems and Sara was always kind, supportive and understanding I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Sara.

Fantastic experience: Sara is an amazing driving instructor!!! Just passed my test first time round all thanks to her. She has helped me so much and told me to not give up and keep practising. Highly recommend to anyone who is in need of a really good driving instructor!!!

Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor! The best around town I passed first time round and gained confidence on the roads and with my manoeuvres with the help of Sara Beckett who encouraged me from the start to not give up and keep practicing my driving. I enjoyed every lesson I had and would recommend highly if looking for an instructor. I previously had 2 other instructors who were no good and I almost gave up until Sara was recommended to me.

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor perfect for anyone learning to drive

Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor, got me passed quickly and confidently first time, highly recommended!
