Sarah's Driving School

Fantastic experience: Sarah taught me from the day of my 17th birthday, ensuring that I was comfortable and explained everything up to the date of my test, which I passed thanks to Sarah! Aswell as being a wonderful driving instructor she has been wonderfully friendly and makes driving feel a lot more stress free than I once thought! Very appreciative of Sarah’s time and understanding throughout our time together and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to drive, whether it’s their first lesson or they are more experienced ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, really helped with any worries I had about my test!

Fantastic experience: I used Sarah for a few lessons nearing my test and she was very helpful mastering my manoeuvres and fitting in a mock test before my real one. She was straight to the point and direct, helping me feel confident for my test. I passed with two minors, I recommend Sarah to any new learners.

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a fantastic driving instructor!! She took my daughter’s needs seriously from day one and always encouraged her to be confident and believe in herself and her own abilities when out on lessons. Sarah went above and beyond to help my daughter and was always punctual for lessons and never let us down. We are extremely grateful to Sarah and would highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I started learning to drive with Sarah in September 2023, and have now passed my driving test first time in December 2024. Sarah is a friendly, knowledgeable and engaging driving instructor, and my lessons with her were always enjoyable. She made learning each skill and aspect of driving straightforward and easy, and helped me get through all of my anxious and frustrated teary moments when I didn't get something quite right! She was there to support throughout my whole driving journey, including when I started independent practice with my partner and parents, and was happy to answer any questions I had. Would highly recommend Sarah as an instructor for either manual (in my case) or automatic driving. Thanks Sarah!

Fantastic experience: I was taken on by Sarah after a bad experience with my old instructor with and she helped me pass my test first time. She is clued up with everything to do with the test itself, the road and all the laws that go with it. Sarah is always on time and very flexible when it comes to lesson times/days. It wouldn’t have been possible to pass without her. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a fantastic driving instructor she is kind and patient She will adapt to your needs . I never thought I would be able to drive due to my dyslexia and dyspraxia and lack of confidence on the road. We worked out ways for me to remember things I tried manual, and I did not feel comfortable as was having trouble with the coordination and multitasking behind the wheel . Sarah was really patient with me through out this and full of encouragement. Sarah then got an automatic car, and everything changed for me. I am 32 and passed my test and it’s all thanks to your teaching and thinking creatively all the time . You have given me my confidents on the road. It is never to late to start to drive thank you

Fantastic experience: Very professional and efficient

Fantastic experience: Sarah was a great instructor. She was patient and calm and has a really nice manner. She built up my confidence and gave me good advice and this meant that I passed first time. I would really recommend Sarah.

Fantastic experience: As soon as i got in her car, Sarah made me feel so at ease and comfortable, i learnt quickly from Sarah and would highly recommend. Can’t thank her enough for getting me on the roads

Fantastic experience: Sarah is an amazing driving instructor!! She helped me build confidence in my driving and helped me pass my driving test first time. She is very supportive and calm, and I really enjoyed my lessons!! Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a lovely person and brilliant driving instructor. She will go above and beyond to help you i would highly recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, patient and caring. Just passed today on my 4th attempt after a 15 year gap since the last. Sarah breaks things down and explains calmly and clearly, and is incredibly patient

Fantastic experience: I am over the moon to share that I passed my driving test first time today, all thanks to Sarah! I have been taking driving lessons on and off for over 10 years, with 7 different instructors, but my nerves always got the better of me and I could never bring myself to book the test. From the moment I met Sarah, she instantly put me at ease. Her calm and patient manner made all the difference. She helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Encouraging me all of the way! Sarah is an exceptional driving instructor who truly cares about her students success. I highly recommend her to anyone who feels anxious about driving or is looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor. Thank you, Sarah, for helping achieve this!

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Sarah enough! Such a kind, patient and fun teacher. I was very nervous when I started lessons as I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to drive due to personal circumstances. Sarah was so understanding and believed in me from the start. I just passed my test last week but still can't fully believe that it happened! I don't think I could have done it without Sarah

Fantastic experience: Sarah was excellent, after the first 5 manual lessons and I was struggling with the gear changes she suggested automatic and then my learning rapidly increased and I managed to pass my test first time. Sarah is patient, encouraging and has a wealth of experience to guide you to what is best for you to drive safely and pass your test. She is also very flexible with times and hours (we eventually went down to single hour lessons because I struggled to concentrate after that time) which was great for me but probably not great for her but she recommended it because it was clearly best for me. I highly recommend Sarah. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a wonderful teacher. She is calm and kind and this was a massive help to me. Sarah helped me achieve what I thought may have been impossible in such a short time. Sarah you've allowed me to enter a new world which will benefit me and my family with my little baby due to be born at the end of June. Sarah unfortunately couldn't finish my journey with me due to breaking her leg but without Sarah’s reassurance and being available for my endless overthinking I would not have passed today. If you want to be taught by someone who will not only guide you amazingly but laugh with you and make your lessons enjoyable, Sarah is the way forward. Thank you so much! Brooke

Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor, so lovely made me feel completely at ease and comfortable passed first time :)

Fantastic experience: Thankyou Sarah for being a great instructor, I always looked forward to our lesson each week. You were always very calm, helpful and easy to talk to. It took just 6 months to pass my first test this week, I wouldn’t have been able to it without you. Thankyou for my card, was a nice surprise when I got home today. See you down the chippy soon!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my test at 17 years old after taking lessons from the amazing Sarah. Sarah is friendly, patient and very knowledgeable. Her advice and support over the last few months has given me the confidence to pass first time and I'll be back shortly for a motorway lesson! Can't recommend Sarah highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a great instructor passed today could not have done it without her

Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test, thanks to the coaching and guidance of Sarah. Highly recommend Sarah if you looking for someone who is patient but straightforward and concise with their teaching. Sarah explains principals of driving in a simple but relatable way that really resonates with you and we even had some laughs along the way!

Fantastic experience: I had struggled with learning how to drive on/off over a number of years, I did not have much confidence moving forward and had nearly given up. For work reasons I had to have another go at getting my licence and feel very lucky to have been recommended Sarah. After lessons with Sarah I had made massive progress and felt much calmer and less anxious (much different to my previous experience with other instructors!!) resulting in me finally booking and passing my test. Thankyou Sarah !

Fantastic experience: I was extremely nervous to start driving but Sarah was brilliant. She’s patient and made me feel calm and safe every step of the way. She never made me feel silly for being nervous and knew when to push me to make progress without making me feel uncomfortable. If you’re looking for a flexible and reliable instructor then I highly recommend Sarah

Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend Sarah Spinks Well where do I start... I contacted Sarah in July 2023 and she contacted me straight back which gave me a good feeling. Each lesson I had with Sarah she worked around my busy schedule. I was really struggling with my theory and i PASSED first time October 2023. Sarah helped and supported during my driving lessons then she told me I was ready for my test. My test was booked for March 2024 and Sarah done her best to get it changed for me, in which we where very successful. My test was today 22.01.2024 and I PASSED first time Sarah I can't thank you enough for all the support and help you have given me over the months. Anyone that is looking to start driving either manual or auto drop Sarah a message. 5*****

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a very kind and patient teacher. Great teacher if you want to pass your test.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Sarah for driving lessons! I felt comfortable from the first few lessons, my lessons were always arranged around my working hours, Sarah was lovely and easy to get a long with and helped me to pass first time with just 1 minor! Thank you for all your help Sarah!

Fantastic experience: After having a previous instructor, I gave sarah a call and she bent over backwards to help me pass as we only had a short period of time to cover everything i needed to do to pass and she absolutely smashed it thankyou sarah very very good instructor

Fantastic experience: I cant recommend Sarah enough!! She is very patient and so encouraging. Sarah always tries her best to accommodate her schedule with you. It been a pleasure learning with you, I will miss our chats.

Fantastic experience: After previously being taught by a different instructor I hadn’t learnt very much and wasn’t very confident but Sarah really helped me get comfortable driving and I learnt so much so quickly! The best driving instructor around, I’ll miss my lessons!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, Sarah is very positive, helps with gaining confidence and a better understanding of the roads, overall great instructor! 10/10

Fantastic experience: Sarah helped me pass my driving test in just 5 months! She went above and beyond to support me in my time learning to drive. It was an amazing experience from the get-go and would highly recommend to anyone of any age who would like to pass their test.

Fantastic experience: Passed first time very good instructor

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful I found Sarah to teach me how to drive. As an anxious driver at the ripe age of 31, I needed a patient instructor that could explain things in different ways and make me feel comfortable to ask any silly question that popped into my head (like how do I straighten the wheel!? ) Sarah is exactly that person and, for the first time, enabled me enjoy the prospect of driving. Through her encouragement, advice and out-of-lesson training (she sent videos and guides to help along the way), I was able to pass my test first time. I would highly recommend her to anyone. An absolute legend with a great sense of humour.

Fantastic experience: I have been learning to drive with Sarah since February, from the first day I knew I was in safe hands, the entire time she was supportive, helpful and enthusiastic in what she does. I was always looking forward to getting in the car with her as not only did I know I was in safe hands but I had good company beside me. There wasn’t a lesson that we didn’t have a laugh, there wasn’t a lesson that I left feel unsure or anything of the sort as Sarah helped me cover all ground and progress with my driving at rapid speed. I passed my test first time today and all I can do is thank her. Sarah is an absolute hero and could teach a turtle how to fly. It’s sad knowing I won’t be in her car again for another lesson or any more laughs, but all I can be is thankful for how awesome she has been. You won’t get a better instructor than Sarah.

Fantastic experience: Sarah is amazing driving instructor she makes you feel and comfortable and a great laugh too! She got me passing first time so can’t thank you enough!! X

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a fantastic driving instructor, who helped me pass my driving test on my first attempt and overcome my driving anxiety. From the very beginning, she made me feel at ease with her patient and encouraging teaching style. Her explanations and learning exercises were great, and she never rushed me through anything, always ensuring I felt comfortable and confident before moving on to the next skill. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and skilled driving instructor, I can't recommend Sarah enough! Thanks again Sarah for all your help!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing !!! Helped me so so much, can not recommend enough. Friendly service and learnt so much more than with other instructors. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Sarah is an amazing driving instructor. She is very patient and you can tell she cares about her job. I am so happy that I was introduced to her as she has helped me so much and I am very grateful.

Fantastic experience: Best instructor knows how to adapt her lessons to suit how the person is and teaches you in a way it sticks so your doing everything correctly would 100% recommend to anyone looking to pass there test

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Sarah highly enough. She is a fantastic teacher- super patient, clear and thorough. She is very understanding of busy lives and commitments and somehow manages to juggle her diary to make it work. I was really under-confident and never thought I’d pass, but I did, on my first time and with one minor. Sarah really put me at ease and is great at tailoring her approach depending on the pupil. She is also just a really good person and is great to have a natter with. Thanks so so much!!!!

Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor I've had lessons with by a huge margin. From the first lesson I could tell Sarah was levels above the standard of my previous instructor. Whilst I unfortunately wasn't able to complete learning to drive with Sarah, had she continued to teach me I'm certain she would have helped me achieve a clear pass.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she not only was willing to work around my hectic work and family life schedule to fit lessons in that were convenient for me but has a fantastic manner and approach to teaching that was a refreshing change from my previous experience with another instructor in the area. She's patient, knowledgeable and is always willing to listen and answer any questions you have. If you're looking for a genuine and professional instructor that you'll enjoy learning with then Sarah is definitely for you - Thanks Sarah! First time pass!

Fantastic experience: Sarah was the ideal driving instructor for me. She was patient and encouraging, always making sure I felt comfortable behind the wheel whilst ironing out any bad habits before they developed. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an instructor!

Fantastic experience: Sarah has been an amazing driving instructor who’s always made me feel really comfortable behind the wheel and gave me the extra support I needed when I told her about my learning difficulties. She is very organised and on-time, making notes about each lesson so we know what to work on for the next. I would definitely recommend Sarah!

Fantastic experience: Sarah was a fantastic teacher. She was patient and really clear in her instruction. She was really good at finding ways to explain things in ways that I could understand. She really built my confidence and went above and beyond as a driving instructor and genuinely cares about her pupils and wants them to succeed. I would recommend Sarah 100%. Thanks Sarah, I'll always be so grateful for all you taught and did for me.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend doing driving lessons with Sarah, I learned to drive manually, she is a great instructor who will help you focus on any worries you have while driving and also will focus on any problems you have, she is very patient and she breaks things down so it’s easy to understand and she is a very easy person to talk to

Fantastic experience: I have been learning to drive on and off for the past 10-11 years, 4 different instructors and I can honestly say Sarah is the best ! Puts you at ease and nothing is ever a stupid question! I couldn’t recommend this lady enough. I’m happy to say I passed my driving test with Sarah’s support and words of encouragement! Xx

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Sarah as a driving instructor for anyone. I had a bad experience with an impatient and difficult driving instructor and was low on confidence. I decided to enquire with Sarah as an alternative instructor. She was very empathetic and understood the issues I'd had. Sarah immediately found time for me within her busy schedule to accommodate me, put me at ease and got me back on track quickly. I really enjoyed driving with Sarah because she was friendly, very clear, calm and experienced. Above all else, the thing that sets Sarah above the rest is how much she cares about her pupils. As we got closer to the test, she prioritised my preparation. Passed my first test under her instruction. Thank you so much Sarah!

Fantastic experience: Its been a journey as I started lessons with Sarah pre-Covid and due to the various lockdowns, test backlogs and cancelled tests dates, I am thrilled to say I’ve passed my driving test with Sarah’s support, patience, amazing teaching skills and top-class sense of humour. Learning to drive with Sarah isn’t just the usual teacher/pupil dynamic. She takes an interest in you as a person which makes you look forward to seeing her on your next lesson. I couldn’t have found a better instructor so if you’re reading this, give her a call, it be the best decision you’ve made.

Fantastic experience: Sarah is great! Really lovely lady and a good teacher too - highly recommend! I passed first time - thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Sarah is a brilliant driving instructor. Very knowledgable, and super friendly. Was really flexible with helping me book in lessons and overall a nice person as well as a great instructor. Would recommend to driver trying to pass their test!

Fantastic experience: Sarah really helped build my confidence. I was very nervous about starting driving again. I had not driven since passing my test ten years ago, and kept on postponing getting back into it. With Sarah's support, and a lot fewer lessons than expected, I was happy to start driving around my local area. I would definitely recommend her!!!!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Sarah. I was an older learner and she immediately put me at ease - calm, patient, practical and experienced - and really helped to build up my confidence to pass my test and get on the road!

Fantastic experience: Hi, I would recommend Sarah 100%. I hadn't driven for many years and was apprehensive about driving again especially as I had just had a not-great experience with another (non-local) instructor. She's patient, encouraging and you're never made to feel stupid. I thought it would take a lot more lessons than it did but I am now driving again. And she is a genuinely nice person. Tony

Fantastic experience: I had a brilliant experience of learning to drive with Sarah as my instructor. She really made sure she understood exactly what I found challenging, and methodically tackled every difficulty. Sarah is an excellent teacher and I always felt safe in the car with her, even when outside my comfort zone. She’s also friendly, totally reliable and organised. I booked a test date after my first few lessons, which we worked towards, and I passed first time thanks to Sarah’s instructing!

Fantastic experience: I started driving lessons in Sept 2021 with Sarah, and as of March 2022 I have now passed my test. She was patient and extremely knowledgeable, she tailored the lessons and diary to my needs and was a great teacher. I can only recommend her positively as she has taught me at the right pace and with the right amount of encouragement and advice. Thanks !

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad and grateful that Sarah was my second instructor, definitely would recommend to anyone who is on their learning path! She was always there straight away to explain any issue being extremely patient and making me feel confident and positive about driving! Sarah is very knowledgeable, professional with great teaching skills driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: I just passed my test first time thanks to Sarah. I found her to be a brilliant instructor. She was very accommodating and patient, and all through lockdown and beyond she kept me regularly informed about when I would get to the top of the waiting list. She's very committed to her existing clients and I would recommend her without reservation.

Fantastic experience: Sarah is fantastic and helped me to pass first time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an instructor.

Fantastic experience: I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Sarah! She is my fourth instructor… and my last - I know that I will pass with her. I’m so much more confident than ever dreamed I could be when it comes to driving, and she has been amazing at really finding a teaching style that is personal and works for me as well as her. She’s patient, professional and knows her stuff! She’s been super supportive while I’ve sat next her her crying, laughing, swearing - you name it! Sarah, thank you so much for teaching me, I’m going to miss our lessons when I pass! ☺️

Fantastic experience: Sarah is an excellent driving teacher who will give you everything you need to pass your test and also become a confident driver! I passed first time which I honestly believe was down to the fact that Sarah planned and delivered the lessons so effectively. Highly recommend!
