DriveEASY with Rachel

Fantastic experience: Driving didn’t come naturally to me and I was very nervous at first, but Rachel was so kind and patient with me. Rachel hit the perfect balance in getting me to step out of my comfort zone in a way that let me still stay confident and feel in control. Her explanations are always spot on, and she’s excellent at finding different ways to approach something to find a way that works for you. I had a lot of trouble dealing with nerves during my driving test, and Rachel was so helpful in thinking of ways to overcome my nerves, and also in helping me to believe in myself and in my abilities. I’m so happy to have passed my driving test, but also a little sad because I’ll miss our chats! Rachel is everything I could have asked for in a driving instructor, and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough; she is an absolute professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and a natural teacher. She took me on for lessons at very short notice; I had my test booked less than 4 weeks after my first lesson, yet she managed to make space for 4 x 4 hour lessons for me leading up to my test. Rachel knew I was very nervous and lacked confidence on the road, but helped me to realise my abilities and increase my confidence through no end. I’d had lessons previously, around 8 or so years ago, but I never followed through with my test back then because I never felt like I really wanted to drive. However, Rachel taught me more in our first session than I had ever learned in 40+ hours of instruction previously, and gave me a wider understanding of the skills to be a very competent and well rounded driver. When Rachel is instructing it is always a very calm and patient environment in the car, free from stress. She has such a good understanding of the struggles and needs of all types of learners, and it’s easy to see why all her learners have such success at test by not only passing, but also with minimal faults. I passed today at my first attempt with only 2 driver faults; 6 weeks ago I barely had the confidence to drive above 10mph anywhere that wasn’t a private car park. Rachel broke down my anxiety and showed me how competent I really was when I allowed myself to be, and for that I am unbelievably grateful.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Rachel enough, especially to anxious drivers. I had a previous instructor in another city that had knocked my confidence and Rachel was so kind and helpful with working to build my confidence. She is so friendly and our chats helped make the whole experience enjoyable, and I never thought I could enjoy driving! I passed my test first time and felt ready to take it thanks to Rachel's teaching. If you want an instructor who is patient and knowledgable and creates a calm environment, and especially if you have anxiety or issues with driving confidence, this is where you want to go :)

Fantastic experience: Rachel was such a great instructor!!! I couldn't recommend her more. I came to uni and started learning with Rachel after not getting very far with my old instructor and it made such a difference. She teaches with such professionalism and is a very understanding person. Couldn't have passed without her :)

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Rachel more, after a bad experience with another instructor she helped build my confidence and simplified driving. Before I was so anxious about driving and Rachel removed all of that for me, I always felt supported and there was never any judgement. Highly recommend to people like me that are a bit more anxious; I had been told by my prior instructor that I was ‘the hardest client he ever had’ whereas Rachel got me to test in less than 6 months and I passed with zero driver faults.
