Fantastic experience: I'd absolutely recommend Karen as an instructor, I was initially nervous about learning to drive but over the time I've had lessons with her she couldn't be more helpful, from the first hour on the road to passing my test first try!

Fantastic experience: Over the short period of time I've spent with Karen as my driving instructor I can confidently say she has helped me improve massively as a driver. After being taught by another instructor prior to Karen and failing a couple times, She has managed to help me relax and focus on safe and confident driving. Her way of teaching and learning puts you in control and lets you sparkle. She puts you at ease and helps you review and reflect making you a better driver. Safe to say I will definitely miss her lessons. If your nervous or think your not capable of driving, Karen will show you otherwise.

Fantastic experience: Karen has been the best driving instructor I could ask for, I was extremely nervous to start driving but Karen helped me to feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. She took me from not being able to go above 5 miles per hour to passing my driving test. She is a wonderful person and I couldn’t have asked for a better leaning experience.

Olivia Spencer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Karen has been absolutely incredible! She is the nicest person ever and has made me feel so comfortable in the car since my first lesson. She has helped me learn to drive and made me feel so confident in the car. She always was so calm and patient during every lesson. She has been amazing and I can’t thank her enough for how she has helped me over the past year :)

Fantastic experience: Karen has been a valuable safety source since I passed in an automatic licence. Karen teaching geared has still answered all questions I’ve had since passing, and offered to take extra time out with me not even in the car just to talk through my fears and worries. My whole family is buried at the memorial tree of a drunk driver; so for Karen to take this time and go the extra mile to make me feel safe on the road has been an enormous privilege in my life and I hope to all who meet Karen and learn from clover school that you all feel safer for it and trust she is a competent, polite, professional individual who is honest, funny, motivated and determined to see you pass.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing !!,I have enjoyed my lessons so much with Karen she is so patient and makes you feel so comfortable she not only has changed me as a driver but also as a person as she taught me to always have a positive attitude and to look at things as “learning opportunities”.I can’t thank her enough for helping me to get my licence !!.I will definitely miss our chats and us laughing, can’t recommend her enough !!

Fantastic experience: Karen is a very kind and patient instructor. Would highly recommend if you are nervous about driving and want to go at your own pace.

Rosie Evelyn 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Karen is the most amazing driving instructor. I had no confidence in driving before I met Karen, and was so anxious. However she really helped me to believe in myself and tailored the driving experience to suit me and my needs!! A genuinely incredible driving instructor who enabled me to pass first time, I wouldn’t recommend anyone else x

Holly Guise 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Karen is genuinely the best driving instructor on the face of the planet, no exaggeration. She puts her focus into creating a safe and calm environment in the car and adapting her teaching style to suit her clients. She takes an approach to teaching where you choose which areas of driving you feel you need to practice and adapts each lessons to suit you, instead of following a copy-and-paste plan with every student. The evaluation at the end of each drive has helped me to become a safe, confident and introspective driver - a million miles from where I started. I genuinely cannot thank Karen enough for all the support, laughs and encouragement. I will miss our chats about chickens and the allotment. Hope you have the best adventure in Somerset ☀️

Ethan Owens 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Karen is a great instructor and was extremely patient with me during my lessons and help me correct mistakes I was making, once she found I was comfortable with driving and had learnt all I needed to she went above and beyond to make sure my driving was polished and neat ready for my driving test and because of Karen I had the knowledge and ability to pass first time.

Fantastic experience: Karen is an absolute angel!! She was very patient with my driving lessons, helped me pass today with flying colours!! I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor!! Even after a short break from driving Karen still helped me to achieve my goal!!! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to teach me from day 1 until my test!! I highly recommend Karen to anyone learning to drive!! If your a new driver or had a few lessons before hand, Karen will definitely teach you things you did not know and help you get sparkly to pass your test!! I thank you for your help Karen and I hope your new life in summerset will be absolutely amazing for you!!

eva adele 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Karen was an amazing teacher and person who not only taught me how to drive safely, but also taught me how to change my mindset and attitude positively. I was originally quite fearful of driving but after much encouragement and patience from her, I soon excelled and can now actually say I like driving (to an extent) !! I’d recommend her to everyone, she’s brilliant.

K Walker 1 year ago

Couldn’t recommend enough!

Aisha Khalifa 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karen was such a patient and helpful instructor, her outlook on driving is truly a game changer and with that positive mindset gave me the confidence to pass my driving test!

Dan Terry 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had come to Karen after having 7 or 8 lessons with a previous instructor who had to stop due to medical problems. In this time, Karen was really patient and helped me improve week on week. I think the clear plan and reflection after every lesson was really good and is something more instructors should do . Through Karen’s help, I was able to pass first time with 3 minors I would happily recommend Karen to anyone. Thanks for everything

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Karen enough! Really helped me get over driving anxiety from having an aggressive instructor & helped me to pass my test on the 3rd attempt. If it wasn't for Karen I don't think I would have been able to do it. Karen is s beautiful person who can empathise to any situation. X

Fantastic experience: Karen is an amazing driving instructor she has helped me from the very start to become a confident independent driver. I passed my test with flying colours thanks to Karen. She also got my older brother though his test as well. Karen is amazing at her job and has a very welcoming presents when you get in the car. She teachers all you need to know about driving I would highly recommend I wouldn't choose anyone different. She's calm and collective and has a sense of humour which is nice to have when your learning to drive for the first time. I'm so pleased that Karen was recommended to me as I couldn't have done it without her help.

Hannah 12 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karen is a fantastic driving instructor. She made me feel very safe in the car and made every lesson I had very positive. Karen was also the driving instructor for both my brother and sister. All three of us passed our driving test first time.

Fantastic experience: The short review is that Karen is an AMAZING driving instructor whom I whole heartedly recommend for any new driver. She is calm, honest and I always look forward to driving with her due to her brilliant sense of humour and relaxed manner. From not liking driving to passing first time, we have been on a great journey and I can't even express how pleased I am to have met her. She focuses on the person and delivers brilliant lessons on all parts of driving, always being encouraging and honest which was incredibly helpful whenever I was stressed. In summary, she's brilliant at what she does and makes the entire experience meaningful, relaxed and just fun! Thank you so much Karen :D

Paige Reilly-McGuire 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn't recommend Karen enough. She is one of a kind. I thought I would never drive due to previous car acciendents when I was younger and high anxiety but some how she gave me the courage to do it. She is extremely patient, kind and very very funny. I definitely cried on her a few times when i was nervous, put the world to rights with her conversations driving around and her teaching style is amazing. If anyone has any doubts,driving nerves or wants a nice, understanding instructor with an amazing pass rate - use Karen!

Clover Driving School

What can I say? Paige you worked with me and gave your all, a thoroughly deserved pass! And now you believe me! Congratulations and Thank you!

Sanduni Gunaratne 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karen's style of driver training is highly effective and calming. Her very friendly and positive outlook calms the nerves of a learner driver on its own. I am very grateful to have learnt driving from Karen, to say in her words is a task focusing on safety, control and rules. The lessons were not focused only on passing the driving test but to shape up my driving style as a respectable driver on the road. Every experience on road was reflected upon, which is highly beneficial in developing independent driving skills. I passed first time, and will use all the lessons I've learnt from her in my future driving. Thank you Karen, You truly are amazing :)

Clover Driving School

Thank you for your feedback, it was a pleasure to work alongside you and your driving test pass was well deserved. I may never know what the meaning of life is, but I know you deserved to pass

Kylie Jordan 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karen taught both my daughters to drive and had the added pressure of getting them through before university. Both passed first time and all I can say is thank you Karen for being a patient calm driving teacher.

Clover Driving School

Thanks Kylie, it’s been a while and I’m grateful to have been able to help both your amazing girls

Lisa Southall 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Karen highly enough! Her style of teaching is what sets her apart, not only is she warm and compassionate but she never berates, and turns everything into a learning opportunity - which can only ever be of benefit to the driver! I'm writing this after passing my test a hour ago, first time! I wasn't nervous, had no worries and went into the test knowing it would be ok as Karen's calming words echoed in my head... "don't worry about everyone else, you just concentrate on being safe". Karen I honestly can't thank you enough, not just for getting me through my test and shaping my driving habits to make me a safe, considerate driver, but for just being you! We've laughed, ranted, put the world to rights and through it all you have never waived from making sure my driving needs were met, nurtured and enhanced. You're everything an instructor should be, and so, so much more! Lisa x

Clover Driving School

Lisa, thank you for choosing me to help you achieve your goal, your test pass was well deserved, you were fabulous! Safe driving!!

Megan Harper 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m am so grateful that I had Karen as my driving instructor, not only did I pass first time, but she taught me valuable lessons that have prepared me for driving in the future. Her way of teaching is very beneficial, she tracked my progress and discussed the areas that needed work and let me choose what I wanted to focus on during the lesson. I would recommend Karen to anyone who wants to be proud of their driving style

Shannan Kelly 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Clover Driving School enough. Karen is the most patient and supportive mentor you could ask for as you learn to drive. I struggle with anxiety and she made every single lesson enjoyable and positive. She is accommodating, flexible, and understanding. I have recommended Karen to a family member who is also thoroughly enjoying and succeeding with his lessons. Whilst it's safe to say that driving was not something that came naturally to me (given my general clumsiness) Karen ensured that I gained knowledge, skills and confidence in every aspect and I even passed my test first time. If you want a positive experience learning to drive go with Clover. You won't be disappointed.

Clover Driving School

Thank you Shannan! Your test pass was well deserved, you worked incredibly hard and got the result you deserved. I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to help you succeed! I wish you safe driving for life! kind regards, Karen

Han Malou 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: After putting off learning to drive for years, it’s say to say I wasn’t a confident driver at all. Karen has been the most fantastic coach and support system whilst learning to drive. She has made the process enjoyable and has supported me over the last few months to the point where I have passed my test. She was accommodating of my working hours, and fitted me in the evenings and weekends. I would highly recommended Karen if you are looking for a friendly, helpful and committed driving instructor!

Clover Driving School

Thank you Han, I’m glad I was able to help you achieve your goal. A driving test pass that was well deserved. I wish you well, kind regards, Karen

Clover Driving School

Thank you Ethan, you worked very hard and your pass first time was well deserved. I wish you all the very best and safe driving! Kind Regards, Karen
