Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Sarah. I was restarting lessons having not done them for over 10 years. She was super thorough and a fantastic instructor! She helped to put me at ease when I was nervous and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! Reliable, friendly, and genuinely cares about you doing well. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Sarah might be the best driving instructor in England! Obviously I haven't tried them all, but I'd find it difficult to imagine someone being more patient or adaptable to your needs than Sarah. I passed first try, thanks so much!

Charlie Jackson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor out there. I started out being such an anxious driver and through her guidance, I felt safe and confident behind the wheel, passing first time. Sarah’s lessons are calm and enjoyable and I’ll sorely miss them. Thank you Sarah you’re truly amazing ❤️

Sean Harcourt 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Sarah, I had three instructors and she was without doubt the best. I was worried after university I would have forgotten most things but she was very good with getting bike back on track. It’s good to have an instructor that listens to you and what you feel weak on in driving instead of doing areas they want to do all the time which Sarah was great at, she listened to what I feel weak at and helped strengthen those areas. I would 100% recommend if you are in the Southend area looking to pass your test.

Amber Taylor 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sarah is an amazing instructor. If you want to pass first time, Sarah is the person to go to. She made me feel so comfortable and helped me keep calm when I was a bucket of nerves for my test. I was so anxious for my test but she makes time to make sure you're ready and goes at a pace that work for you. Couldn't recommend enough ❤️

Kelly Artell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn't have passed first time without her help and support. She is very patient and caring. Sarah goes at your pace but gives you a push when it's needed. She prepared me well for the driving test giving me lots of tips and practising areas of driving that I needed more support with. Sarah found different ways of explaining driving that helped me understand how to complete certain manoeuvres. I'll miss our chats very much!!

James Townsend 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I finally decided at the age of 39 to learn to drive. I thought in many respects I'd left it too late and that I would just never become someone who drove. However, I'm here and it's all because of Sarah! She really is a special person. She didn't just teach me the skill of driving but helped me immensely with the psychological aspects of thinking I would never be able to do it. She was patient and adaptable. When I was having trouble with certain manoeuvres we would try other techniques until we found one together that worked best for me. Sarah gave me the confidence to become test ready and pass first time and that is largely down to her experience and professionalism in what she does. Thank you so much for how you helped change mine and my families lives for the better. I will be forever grateful. Just goes to show you're never too old to learn something new!

Jessica Bowditch 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough! Not only did she help me develop my driving skills but most importantly she helped me mentally prepare for my test, she understands how you deal with the stress and gives you techniques to help (banana and dark chocolate for me). I couldn’t ask for a better instructor that helps you pass both your theory and practical the best you can and even first time!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend a better driving instructor! Our lessons were always a lot of fun, from checking up on stray dogs to my favourite: parallel parking! Sarah helped me to feel a lot more confident driving, and was always really patient and kind and understanding. I started my lessons not knowing what a clutch even was, and second time lucky, managed to pass my test 10/10!!

Michelle Jackson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Aidan passed his test first time today with Sarah, only 6 months after his first lesson which is incredible, given waiting lists for test dates are around 6 months alone. Sarah is incredibly nurturing, and wonderful at building confidence which my son needed as he has ADHD and anxiety. He was progressing so well with her that she was able to swap his test date from September to July, and today he sailed through. I can't praise Sarah enough, and look forward to Aidan's brother starting his lessons next year. Thank you Sarah

Fantastic experience: Sarah helped me so much with my driving confidence and I now feel very prepared to be on the roads after a first time pass. Very grateful, and appreciate the continuous support.

Max Jaggers 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Sarah was a fantastic instructor. We began in February and I had my license after passing first time in May. Sarah was reliable, clear and professional throughout. As Sarah thought I was ready, we moved my test forwards whereas many instructors would “drag out” to keep their hourly rates coming in. 5/5 in every aspect!

Being a new driver I was very anxious but Sarah takes everything at your own pace making you feel very comfortable when in the car. she is supportive and ensures that you stay on track encouraging you in lessons. overall, a very very good driving instructor!

Cerys Hagon 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I started with Sarah, I was a very nervous and never had a lesson before and she easily made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. She has spreadsheets that she tracks progress on and makes plans on what to improve for next time as well as what driving routes to take. When COVID hit, she kept me updated with what the DVSA were saying, as well as what guidelines affected us. She’s very kind and understanding as well as professional and structured, and I’m so glad I picked to drive with her and passed!

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a miracle worker. I was an incredibly nervous driver and through her excellent guidance, she took me from absolute beginner to managing to pass first time. She has a fantastic balance between kindness and knowing when to challenge her pupils. Very good value for money and communication is always efficient and professional. She is a wonderful person with a fantastic sense of humour and who only wants the best for her pupils. Could not recommend her more.

Adam Bulleid 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: After 15 years between my two driving tests I cannot tell you how lucky I was to find Sarah. I booked my test with 6 months to get up to speed but with COVID that 6 months turned into 6 weeks. Despite the obvious time pressure, the sheer volume of learning & development I required, Sarah took me under her wing and she gave me all of the tools to pass at the 2nd attempt. I cannot tell you how thankful I am to Sarah. Her patience, theory & approach make her one of the best teachers let alone driving instructors I've ever had. If you are looking for someone to help ensure you're as prepared as you can be heading into a test then I really cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. If you're lucky enough to get a slot in her busy schedule you'll be well on the road to success. Thank-you Sarah!
