Fantastic experience: My son mason as been working with Shirley for past few months after 13 attempts at doing is theory Mason was only always 1 or 2 marks off a pass. This as had a really tough affect on motivation and keep going forward and not give up! Since working with Shirley masons confidence as grown and he as felt he understands each area of the test more so he felt more prepared for his next test. Shirley gave detailed support and broke everything down so mason grasped everything. This weekend mason passed his theory for him this was a massive turning point, we are so very grateful for the support and the programme which without it Mason definitely would not have passed. Thankyou for everything he is now on his way to driving!

Tazmin Marie 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’m getting sad writing this, as it means our lessons are over! Thank you so much Shirley, I really didn’t think this was possible. I have always tried to study for my theory test, but it was always a mundane experience and hard to remember. I don’t know how you managed to make learning about theory fun, but you did it. Thank you for your daily support, and making it known that you cared about my progression. Thank you for being incredibly adaptable and teaching me to my cognitive ability. For anyone who is interested in doing theory, BOOK!! They have really helped me, and I’ll forever be grateful. Thank you Shirley and the rest of the team

Fantastic experience: Shirley has been supporting my son with 1-1 tuition for his theory test as he had previously struggled to pass on numerous of occasions over the last year, we did not know where to turn as he could just not get a pass, when we contacted Shirley she immediately booked Dylan in for lessons within a week and has been a fantastic support to Dylan over his time with her, we are thrilled to say he has finally passed his theory thanks to the support he received from Shirley, we would highly recommend Shirley to anyone struggling in this area, thanks again Shirley xxx

Jack Coogan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had tried and failed many times with past theory tests. I was at a loss and luckily came across Shirley; who quite frankly was the reason I passed. Cool, calm and collective approach really helped. And she helped me understand the basics perfectly. If you’re looking for theory help, look no further.

Kelvin Cockram 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: From always struggling to read and write all my life, being dyslexic I've had to manage through the education system and now adult life, I never had much help or encouragement as a child. With little confidence in myself to do the things others find easier. This year has been a tough year having a premature baby at 26 weeks, needing to get on the road for my family. With out the help from Driving Theory Tutor I would of kept struggling to pass. This was my 10th test and the only test I've taken since getting the help I desperately needed. I'm so thankful for all your help, I can finally do the bit I find easier the driving. Thank you again, from Kelvin and Jasmine

Fantastic experience: I was mentored by a brilliant tutor, with the most indepth knowledge, expertise, enthusiasm, of going above and beyond for her students. Professionalism was paramount in getting me to this stage of not only getting a pass grade, but giving me understanding from every aspect what it takes to understand law on the roads, driving, techniques and the roles of a driver, and what is expected across a broad spectrum of becoming road worthy. Thank you for your method and learning materials. Kind regards Barbara Marriott

Peter Atha 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Shirley was amazing with Elliott . After 5 failed attempts in 2023 he was starting to loose enthusiasm that he was ever going to pass . Shirley showed him exactly what he was doing wrong and gave him lots of tips that he didn’t realise he was doing wrong . Messages of support on the morning of his test were very much appreciated too . To any other students who are feeling disheartened please don’t give up . Would highly recommend to anyone and when my daughter turns 17 later this year we will definitely use Shirley again ☺️

Fantastic experience: My son was really struggling to motivate himself to study for his theory test. After finding Shirley online, she rang to discuss our situation and offered her professional advice - we booked a weekly one to one session. She was able to identify my sons learning style and engage him well. She gave him the knowledge and confidence to book his theory test and - he passed first time!! I honestly cannot thank or recommend Shirley enough.
