Fantastic experience: Iv been learning to drive for 5 years but because of my learning difficulties and anxiety I was unable to reach a point where I could drive confidently. After 4 different instructors, I met toni and she was like a breathe of fresh air. My confidence sky rocketed, she managed to help me find my calm whilst driving and was able to explain everything to me in a way I hadn't had from previous instructors. Iv now passed my test and feel the most confident I have ever felt in a car, and that's solely down to her teaching methods and how she adapted her teaching to suit my learning needs. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Toni is an amazing instructor really helped with my confidence and had so much faith in me, passed my test first time and was so shocked. she made me feel so confident when i was learning and told me where my faults were and how to fix them.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Toni highly enough - she’s a great confidence builder and makes learning to drive a stress free and enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience: Toni is an amazing driving instructor with all of the patience, professionalism and positive attitude that anyone can wish for. As someone who tried multiple driving instructors I can assure that it’s quite hard to find someone as overall great at their job as well as a super nice person who’s a pleasure to be around during the lessons. Cannot recommend Toni highly enough, she’s the best of the best and anyone getting her as their driving instructor is extremely lucky!

Fantastic experience: Toni is just an absolutely brilliant driving instructor. Her lessons are very helpful and fun, I feel very confident when driving with her! 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: 100000% would recommend toni. She is amazing at what she does, she knows how to calm you when the nerves try and get the better of you and really puts you at ease. Absolutely amazing!

Negative experience: Toni is unreliable, unprofessional and constantly cancels lessons (frequently on the same day) and refused to refund me part of the £370 I paid for 10. As a result of this, my tests have had to be cancelled on numerous occasions. However, she continues to post on social media with students doing tests on days she would cancel on me. Her cancellations were back-to-back with different excuses each time and sometimes she notified me just 10 minutes before we were due to have a lesson.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant time learning to drive with Toni, made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. 1st attempt at the practical and passed. Highly recommend south auto driving school

Fantastic experience: Really nice and professional driving instructor that made me comfortable while fighting anxiety. My 3rd instructor and I've passed with only 5 faults after 8 years of trying to manage my fears. Thank you so much I am so grateful.

Fantastic experience: Where to start! Would 100% recommend Toni to anyone! Not only has she helped me gain confidence but also learn to enjoy driving! I was a very anxious driver and I was straight away made to feel very at ease. Toni is so patience and kind, and makes learning to drive fun and stress free. Communication and reliability was fantastic and never had any issues. There is no pressure whatsoever and you are able to learn at your own pace, in your own way with good advice, encouragement, guidance and lessons from Toni along the way. It was honestly like driving with a friend and I can’t thank Toni enough for helping me pass, really going to miss our drives and chats!

Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor, passed first time!

Fantastic experience: I was a nervous wreck over the thought of driving a car, but Toni really helped with my nerves and got me out on the road, with confidence and passed second time with no minors! Thank you again Toni ☺️

Fantastic experience: After 2 failed instructors over previous years, finding Toni was the best thing that could’ve happened! She was patient, nurturing and felt like meeting up with a friend while learning so much at the same time. I passed my test a month ago thanks to Toni and I feel so lucky that I was able to be taught by such an inspirational person & friend. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Positive experience: Patient and friendly instructor, plus it was an easy car to drive

Fantastic experience: I was a really nervous driver and never thought I'd pass my test but Toni put me at ease and every lesson was at my own pace. We also had lots of laughs along the way!

Negative experience: Lessons were good with Toni I can’t fault that however I was dropped from her due to what she said were personal issues in her own life however she then went on to keep posting on her Facebook social media page of continuing lessons/tests with other pupils. I only needed to have my driving test rebooked in and I contacted her back a few times but she didn’t respond back to texts and didn’t answer my calls or call me back. Very disappointing, therefore wouldn’t recommend if you want someone consistent.

Fantastic experience: Toni is an amazing instructor, I was a nervous learner at first but she put me at ease, happy to go at my own pace whilst pushing me within my ability! I would 100% recommend her to anyone wanting to learn in an automatic! Toni thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: 100 % reccomend Toni, when I started my lessons, I was a nervous wreck, Toni worked so hard to build my confidence up, i had several other instructors before Toni, i didnt feel comfortable and felt like I wasn't making any progress, After my first lesson with Toni, I had conquered my biggest fear, she made me feel so at ease, i looked forward to our driving lessons every week. And I'm so happy to say that I passed my test last week, i never ever thought I would be able to say that, Thank you so much Toni.

Fantastic experience: Toni was really patient and understanding. She was really good at keeping me at ease before my test. Thank you so much for teaching me how to drive, I recommend her 100%.

Fantastic experience: My experience having driving lessons with Toni has been fantastic. She creates an extremely positive, comfortable and supportive environment in which to learn, which has made the learning experience both enjoyable, engaging and as easy as it can be. I am very happy with my lessons with Toni and couldn't recommend her as an instructor any more highly.

Fantastic experience: I am taking lesson's with Toni at the moment. After years of not driving after failing a test back in the 70s I vowed never to drive again. However at the ripe old age of 65 I decided to give it one more go. Toni is a brilliant teacher, she gives me encouragement and confidence that I never thought I had. Always on time and lets me learn at my own pace. Highly Recommended.

Fantastic experience: Tony, is the best driving instructor I could ever ask She gave the confidence I needed to start driving again.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I chose Toni as my driving instructor she is the best in the Southampton area always willing to go out of her way for her pupils she makes your lessons enjoyable and relaxing and everything is done at your own pace she will never push you. I passed first time and I only started with Toni in June 2019 after many pushy driving instructors that had previously put me off and Toni was my last chance and I passed in December 2019 with only having one lesson a week if you have the opportunity of learning with Toni then take it with both hands you will not be disappointed and will pass in no time. Thanks again Toni.

Fantastic experience: I started with Toni after years of on and off lessons with other instructors. From the off set I had the best confidence that Toni could get the best out of me to pass. Honest feedback and lovely friendly approach. I failed my first attempt and Toni kept in touch and we set a plan to succeed. You know she takes pride in her job and realy made me feel comfortable. Great time keeping and her car is fab. Brilliant at letting you know if slots become available and facebook and instagram pages also have handy tips I have missed having Toni in the car now im driving about awesome cant fault her.

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I chose Toni as my instructor. She's very professional, always on time. I never feel stressed driving besides her as she's always patient and relaxed. She'll advise and guide the best for you to pass the test.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor! Very patient and relaxed during lessons and always reassuring when making a mistake as well very flexible to suit you. Wouldn’t of passed first time with anyone else and wouldn’t be able to recommend anyone else. Very easy to arrange lessons and very good value for money. Covers every aspect of driving to ensure your the most ready you can be to do your test.
