Teresa Allen School of Motoring

Fantastic experience: Teresa was absolutely fantastic, a real pleasure to learn with. I can’t express how much she helped me & we got the result we wanted with a pass

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Teresa, I felt confident and prepared for my driving test. Her clear instructions and support made all the difference, and I’m so grateful for her help

Fantastic experience: Teresa is an incredible driving instructor and person! Having someone who not only helps with technical skills but also genuinely cares about your well-being is a real gift. It's wonderful to have someone like that in your corner! Thanks Teresa for helping me pass in my first test.!

Fantastic experience: I passed today!! Teresa was an amazing instructor I’m so lucky that I had her as an instructor, she has amazing knowledge and very supportive. I don’t think I could have passed without her. Thankyou so much Teresa!!

Fantastic experience: I had Lessons with Teresa for a few months before i took my fifth test! which without her i couldn’t have passed. In this short amount of time, she helped me improve so much and increased my confidence hugely and is a great instructor. Thanks so much teresa Xx

Fantastic experience: Passed my test on the first go with 6 lessons in total and I think Teresa is the only reason why. I recently moved from another country where I had some driving practice so I started the lessons feeling confident only to realise that I had more to un-learn than I thought. Thankfully Teresa had the right balance between friendly, strict and supportive to help me feel more confident, safe and comfortable on the road. Vast amount of knowledge and experience. Really good debrief after every drive. Amazing awareness of the subtle mistakes I was making. Really professional mock tests. Always on time. But most importantly a wonderful human being who is a pleasure to speak to and learn driving in the UK with. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Teresa's knowledge and experience allowed for an adaptable teaching style that worked perfectly for me. She is so supportive and understanding reducing any worries or fears. Simply superb and can't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I am sharing my recent experience towards the end of the year 2023 early 2024. Teresa is an amazing lady. She taught me UK style of driving which is very different than India (well the basics are same but road traffic movement and rules are pretty much followed 90% of the times here). I drove back home for 6+ years and unlearning my Indian road habits took some time. I passed in my second attempt (missed narrowly on my first one). Ok coming back to the learning. Teresa has a wealth of experience teaching novice to experienced drivers. She always focused on right way of driving rather than just ticking boxes for passing the test. I look back and find thats the best thing I learned from her and thats gonna stay with me. She worked on my weak points, and made sure I change my habits and be more mindful while driving. She was kind to share a lot of material to read and develop the understanding of the correct way of driving. Punctual, polite, strict at times, honest feedback and always had a lot of stories to talk about during the trips :) I really liked her company. Teresa I wish you good health and keep up the great work you are doing!

Fantastic experience: Teresa has been an amazing instructor. Her knowledge and experience undoubtedly helped our son pass his test. Patient, kind, firm but very fair - thank you Teresa. You are fabulous.

Fantastic experience: I booked refresher lessons with this lovely lady. I can’t praise her highly enough

Fantastic experience: Hi, My name is Priyantha Herath. I am a Sri Lankan who recently moved to England. Being an experienced driver in my home country, it was quite challenging task for me to adjust my driving pattern to suit to pass UK driving test. Fortunately, I got an opportunity to train under Ms. Teresa and she helped me to make necessary improvements within few lessons and therefore I managed to pass the driving test at my first attempt. Therefore, I would like to highly recommend Teresa Allen School of Motoring for anyone who would like to learn manual driving and pass the test.

Fantastic experience: Teresa was absolutely brilliant in helping my daughter learn to drive, she is yet another one of Teresa’s learners that passed on their first attempt!!! What a great achievement to have such a high pass rate!! I honestly couldn’t thank you enough xxx

Fantastic experience: Today I passed my driving test first time and it was all thanks to Teresa. She is a brilliant driving instructor who always cared about the safety of the student first whilst teaching me how to drive safely on the road. I am so grateful to have had such a brilliant driving instructor and I fully recommend her to anyone willing to learn to drive. Connor Hannon

Fantastic experience: Today I passed my driving test and I cannot thank Teresa enough. Due to unlucky circumstances with my previous instructor, I reached out to Teresa to see if she could help me last minute and honestly I couldn't have done it without her. I experienced lots of nerves and self-doubt in my ability and she made me believe that I could do it. Her support and attention to detail was brilliant and I am so grateful to have found her.

Fantastic experience: Had my driving test today and passed with no faults! The credit absolutely and fully goes to Teresa Allen. Teresa is an absolute gem and I was blessed and fortunate to have found her. She was able to appreciate my past experience of driving, quickly identify my weaknesses and worked clinically and patiently in helping me get ready for my driving test. Her commitment is absolute and her care is genuine. She went out of her way to do a few extra lessons for me that really helped me get fully sorted and ready for test day. She is unique in that she is able to maintain a perfect balance of compassion, discipline and technical soundness and I couldnt have asked for someone better to do these lessons with. I am a much more confident and safe driver now ready to go on some adventures with my driving license! Thank you once again Teresa!

Fantastic experience: I am from India and moved to the UK for work. I have driven cars for over 20 years and needed coaching just for 3-4 hours on driving under UK conditions (rules, laws) When all other instructors turned me down citing busy schedules, Teresa agreed to give me some lessons over weekends just to help me out. It was so very kind of her. Teresa is a very friendly and casual instructor and you feel like you are learning from a friend.. She was very understanding and also taught me patiently on how driving works in the UK (which is totally different from how it is in India) When you train under Teresa, she takes complete ownership and commitment for your success. So it is not just a business transaction with Teresa. She is genuinely interested that you drive well and pass your driving test. Now the cream of the cake. I didn't get any slots for practical test anywhere close to my area and got it only in Hernebay, some 50 miles away. Teresa rang up her contacts and arranged for some classes from an instructor in Hernebay, to get me familiar with the local driving conditions there. Now honestly, who would go that far to help you out, unless they genuinely care about you.. Needless to say, I passed first time with only 1 minor and owe this completely to Teresa. She is not just a driving instructor for me.. she is family.. and that's why I call her aunty and not "Teresa" anymore. Summary: A brilliant instructor, who genuinely cares about you and your success in the driving test. Look no further and train with Teresa. Cheers Barani

Fantastic experience: Teresa is an outstanding driving instructor. I have had an incredibly long journey learning to drive which had been interrupted by various relocations and then Covid 19. I have had many different instructors along the way and Teresa has been by the far the best. When I arranged to book lessons ahead of my test she was thorough, considerate, organised and incredibly professional. She takes the time to understand your previous experience and adapt to your learning style which I really appreciated. On a personal level, it is easy to see how much Teresa cares about your success and is genuinely a very kind individual who will go above and beyond. Driving can be quite a difficult journey for some and having an instructor who can put you at ease is an incredibly important factor. Teresa always made me feel comfortable and slowly built up my confidence in the lead up to my test. With her help and support I passed on my third attempt (having been unsuccessful twice before I met Teresa) and feel so grateful to have had her as my final instructor!

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test at first attempt yesterday after having had only 5 lessons over 3 weeks with Teresa. Although I started my lessons with another instructor back in February, my confidence had taken a hit around May and I didn't feel I wasn't making much progress, so my only option seemed to be to keep changing my test date. I'm endlessly grateful to Teresa to take a leap of faith with me and help me build up my confidence from the first lesson we had together. Her methods were reassuring and there was a noticeable improvement from one lesson to another. She has been the perfect ally to become a confident and safe driver and enjoy the time I spend behind the wheel I honestly couldn't recommend her more (and proof of that is that even after having passed my test, I'll be booking some motorway lessons with her soon!)

Fantastic experience: 100% best driving instructor around. Teresa always makes sure she has time for you and does everything she can to help you pass as soon as possible. Very lucky to have been able to book her xxx

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Teresa. Originally, I was often anxious and angry at myself when driving, but Teresa endeavoured to help me overcome this and led to me enjoying driving and feeling confident. Teresa always continued the lessons at my own pace and made sure I was comfortable with what I was doing. By being honest and very friendly, Teresa made sure I knew exactly where to improve and how to safely do it. This led me to pass my driving test first time round! Thank you Teresa!

Fantastic experience: Teresa is an amazing instructor, her methods and style of teaching is so calming and reassuring. She shows you the techniques which by the way is so easy to follow through, then she has a way of instilling confidence in you. She's so kind hearted and never says No (Bless her heart). I would recommend her over and over again. Having failed twice with other instructors, I contacted Teresa who decided to squeeze me into her tight schedule. Guess what, I passed my test once with only 1 minor fault after just a couple of lessons with her.

Fantastic experience: It's been a pleasure learning with Teresa - she taught me extremely well and made lessons entertaining. She also gave great advice about calming emotions while driving which is invaluable to anyone who struggles with confidence behind the wheel. I would thoroughly recommend her!!

Fantastic experience: Teresa was an incredible instructor from when I was a complete mess of a beginner up until the day of my test. She always made me feel comfortable and always made me laugh. And I passed first time!

Fantastic experience: Teresa’s reputation is beyond reproach and sure enough when my son started taking driving lessons Teresa proved to be an excellent and competent teacher, great fun and emotionally invested throughout. 5 months later my son passed first time and his success never felt in doubt. Teresa really does inspire confidence from the outset and ensures the all-important calmness on test day. Superb!

Fantastic experience: After just 4 2hour sessions Teresa somehow managed to get me through my PDI part 2 test. Fantastic teacher who went above and beyond to enable me to turn up in her (super shiny) car and achieve a pass. If you need an instructor, look no further.

Fantastic experience: Teresa is an amazing driving instructor and I really enjoyed my lessons with her. She explains things clearly and really helped me to become more confident. She was flexible with fitting me in despite my messy timetable and a fiasco with cancelled tests, and kept me calm before my test. Thanks Teresa!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my driving lessons with Teresa, passed first time and always had fun in my lessons she’s an amazing and patient teacher and I gained confidence really quickly, would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Teresa was very kind and lovely to my Husband , she squeezed him last minute for a lesson and test and we really appreciate it. Highly recommended her !

Fantastic experience: First Class service from Teresa. Flexible with hours offered. Practice work given to do it own time if time permitted. Thorough explanation of what was expected of the actual driving test. Keen to get my son passed as soon as ready rather than trying to hold him back. Well kept car which was easy to drive. Teresa was happy to go over any unsure manoeuvres to build and gain confidence. Would have no hesitation making recommendation , you won;t be disappointed. But book early as Teresa is so good she gets real busy. Good luck to anyone else and safe driving.

Fantastic experience: What a great instructor Teresa had got 2 of my kids through 1st time she is patient and really cares. My daughter has just passed 1st time she has speach and language difficulties and it took her 10 theory tests Teresa was great so supportive and even bought aids to help get her through. Definitely a very kind supportive instructor
