Green Light Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My experience learning to drive with Rachel was Great! From the first lesson I was made to feel comfortable and safe behind the wheel and I always felt comfortable to voice my concerns and worries. Rachel helped me a lot with my anxiety and nerves to do with driving which made every lesson a joy to attend. I passed my test in less than a year 1st attempt! I’m very happy I passed but will miss the lessons. 100% recommend Rachel as a driving instructor she is brilliant!

Fantastic experience: Rachel is a brilliant instructor! She is extremely patient and reassuring (especially if you love stalling) in all situations and makes you feel at ease when driving. Most of my friends have passed with Rachel and have all enjoyed there driving lessons. Also, Rachel is the best value for money for driving lessons in Wigston, not only due to lesson prices but also due to the fact that she quickly corrects weaknesses in your driving and therefore allows you to pass as quickly as possible. I will miss our lessons and I’m extremely grateful to have an instructor as excellent as her!

Thank you Sofia :) we got you there, it was a pleasure to teach you
Fantastic experience: It had been at least 3 years since I last started driving, one reason I never continued was because I did not enjoy it, I was always anxious about it and just the thought of having to drive put me on edge. After getting a new job this year, I thought it was high time to get back into it and I am so glad that I did. After finding Rachel on Facebook and having refresher lessons with her helped my confidence soar tremendously, to the extent where I have no hesitations now going on motorways/A6. Rachel is a lovely person to chat to and she puts you at ease when driving, which is a quality you definitely need in a driving instructor. I highly recommend signing up with her, I wish I had Rachel from the beginning!
Aishah thank you for your lovely words :) it was my pleasure to help you gain confidence in driving again and I’m so glad you’re enjoying it
