Fantastic experience: Learning driving at Lendrums Driving school was my pleasure. My Instructor was Vikki Fish. She has done a great job by teaching me how to drive and control my nerves. She was great at her job and helped me to pass my test at Lee- on-the solent. Also she guided me in the correct path by understanding the learning speed of mine by allowing me to absorb every aspects of the lessons. Thank you very much!

Fantastic experience: Vikki is an amazing and personable instructor and helped me through all of my past driving trauma and bad experiences with previous instructors. She has set me up with the skills I need to drive safely and helped me overcome my fears and anxiety, as and when things would crop up. She was so patient with me and encouraging and she helped me get the confidence to pass my test first time!

Fantastic experience: Vikki is an amazing teacher, calm and patient and always worked to get the best out of me. I found her very good at figuring out what an anxiety when something cropped up. I've already been out driving on my own since passing and I couldn't have done that without the confidence Vikki gave me.

Negative experience: Not recommended It's still better than my very bad experience with another school but not 5 stars I don't recommend the instructor called Faridi Karemi Edit: they replied to me it is "spam and reported" but I have evidence, and I can post here with my bank transfer to them for the lessons. Honestly, I didn't expect this reply. It will be spam if I recommend another school over them.

Fantastic experience: I had tried many times over the years to learn to drive but never made it to test ready until I found Vikki. She had so much patience with me and we always decided together what areas we needed to work on to make the most of our lesson time. The reflective logs we filled out post lesson were especially helpful in pinpointing what issues needed addressing. Also Vikki shared a number of driving videos with me that offered invaluable help with manoeuvres, lane changes and much more. Honestly I can't say enough good things about Vikki and her teaching methods, and proof of the pudding this 54 year old, menopausal woman passed first time and with only 4 minors beating both her children !! If you are thinking of learning to drive, trust me you will find none better than Vikki Fish.

Fantastic experience: Vikki is a lovely person and an amazing instructor! I couldn't recommend learning to drive with vikki enough as she will always go that extra mile to help you achieve your goal. I was very anxious to even sit in the driver seat and now, with the help and guidance of Vikki I feel like a completely different person and have a whole new positive outlook on driving. She was able to help me build my confidence and pass my test, which is something that before I met Vikki I couldn't even envisage doing. I recommend filling in your progress tracker and watching any of the resources from YouTube provided on the total drive app as that extra bit of homework really helps you pass quicker and gives you better knowledge. Vikki also provided us with some great podcasts for people who feel anxious, and these really motivated me. Lots of instructors out there might be purely focused on making sure you can only pass a driving test and do not provide you with the skills to drive on many different roads or areas other than the test route. This is differently not the case with Vikki. It was clear to me that she cared about helping me become a safe and independent driver who could confidently drive with or without her in any location. For example i was nervous about multistorey car parks and filling up with petrol so these are things that we practiced together, they are not on the test but they are valuable life skills thats I will forever be appreciative of. If you are someone who is thinking about learning to drive or someone who has had a break and wants to start again, do not hesitate to start your journey to being a driver with Vikki.

Fantastic experience: After a rocky start (to say the least) for various reasons, I then found Vikki and began my lessons with her, which was the best decision I made. I started with my confidence at an almighty low, but Vikki was so patient and kind, she put me at ease from day one. She built up my confidence and self esteem and taught in such a way, that instead of dreading my weekly lessons I found myself looking forward to them. Vikki is so clear with instructions and explanations and I never felt on edge, even at times when nerves took over, Vikki was calm, patient and never made me feel like any question was a silly one and she was so supportive throughout the whole process. Vikki ensures you’re not only test ready, but ready to face the road independently, confidently and safely after. I can’t recommend Vikki enough!

Fantastic experience: I had by far the best driving instructor ever, Vikki!! She is the most supportive and encouraging person who is always patient even if you make mistakes. She grew my confidence massively and didn't let me give up even when I failed my test! It was so refreshing to finally meet a driving instructor who genuinely cared about people driving safely and passing their test rather than just being in it for money. I could write a million fantastic things but long story short I HIGHLY recommend this driving school, especially Vikki!! Thank you for everything :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been really pleased with my results with my instructor Vikki. After having a big gap in my driving (18 years) she made me feel at ease. She was very professional and most of all a friendly lady. Gave some good constructive advice as well as listening and asking me what I felt I needed to improve on. Overall I’m very pleased with my time spent with Vikki. Thank you once again.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t be more happy with my instructor Vikki. She helped me with the highs and low of driving. With my own struggles driving was hard but with her as my instructor ;she put my mind at ease. It took me three times to pass but she had every bit of confidence with me . She was patient with me and frankly amazing in every-way. If you get her as your driving instructor. You will be extremely lucky. When I say she amazing it’s an understatement. Lendrums should feel lucky to have her. She gives them a good name. Will be recommending to my friend and family. Brilliant instructor.

Fantastic experience: I didn’t start at Lendrum’s as a beginner. However, after a particularly bad experience with another driving school (and a six week break from driving), when I met Vikki Fish my confidence was pretty low. But within the space of two hours she turned that around and I was beginning to feel like myself again. We only had 4 full sessions (8 hours) together, but I’m amazed at the difference I felt in myself and my driving. We connected very quickly, she’s a very easy person to be around. Her style of teaching is so well laid out, explaining everything clearly. The time she puts into lesson prep blows my mind. But the biggest part for me was the encouragement. Always believing that I could do it. That was invaluable. Passing my test today was a huge deal for me. I got epilepsy when I was 14 so I haven’t been able to drive for 20yrs+. But getting the chance to do this now, no words can ever really say how thankful I am. Anyone that’s looking for an instructor to guide them through their personal journey - I can’t recommend Vikki enough
