Select Drivers: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Fiona is an incredible driving instructor and an even more amazing person overall. She goes above and beyond to support you through every step of the learning process. She explains each step thoroughly and in great detail, making sure you fully understand before moving on. As well as this she allows space to put your skills and knowledge into practice by taking opportunities to ask questions and encourage you to think about how you’d react to different real-life situations which builds your confidence for independent driving. Her patience, encouragement, and genuine care make you feel completely supported and at ease throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend her more!
Fantastic experience: Fiona is an absolutely amazing driving instructor and I would highly recommend her! I passed first time, and after every lesson I felt that I had progressed in some way- I really loved the teaching style. Fiona has taught me how to be a confident and safe driver
Fantastic experience: Fiona at Select Drives is incredible. So patient, understanding, knowledgeable, organised, safe, encouraging and personable. Being an “older” learner was incredibly nerve wracking for me to start, but with Fiona by my side, she got me to my pass day 1st time round, and as equally important - feeling so ready for independent driving. I cannot recommend Fiona enough, for any age or stage of your life / driving. I have been so, so lucky to have met such a wonderful person and teacher. ✨
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with select drivers! Never driven to passed within 4 months! Would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Fiona was an excellent driving instructor, she always gave detailed explanations and made the lessons stress free, this helped me to pass my test first time, I couldn't recommend her enough!
Thank you for your kind words Isobel. I am delighted you enjoyed your lessons and it was a pleasure to take you on that path to independent driving. Wishing you many years of happy and safe driving adventures
Fantastic experience: Started learning in September and passed today with no minors!!!, Fiona is an amazing instructor and is amazing with nervous drivers.
Congratulations again on your great Pass :-) I hope you will continue to enjoy your driving and look forward to seeing you on the roads!
Fantastic experience: I started lessons with Fiona after a +10-year gap since I last drove and failed my first driving test. I was really apprehensive to get behind the wheel again after such a long break but immediately felt calm with Fiona. Fiona is first and foremost a kind, thoughtful and caring person who is truly invested in the success of her students - I can say this confidently having used other schools in the past. On top of this, she's organised, methodical and patient which I can imagine came in handy with me! I also really enjoyed the laughs we'd have during lessons, it really helped put me at ease. I'm so happy to say I passed yesterday and know this wouldn't be possible without her support (she even staved off my wobble at the test centre). Thank you, Select Driver Training.
Congratulations on your brilliant Pass
It was an absolute pleasure to take you on your final journey to the safe, confident, independent driver you have now become. I know you will enjoy the freedom driving will give you and I look forward to seeing you out on those adventures.
Mondays just won't be the same without your great chat and laughs !
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Fiona enough - taught 2 of my family and is a fantastic teacher and a kind, reliable driving instructor
Thank you Sonia. It was an absolute pleasure to take your two kiddies on their path to independent driving and such an added bonus to see T dropping H off for his lessons . Wishing them both many years of safe, fun driving adventures
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed learning to drive with Fiona. She was very organised and constantly communicated information in advance. She provided comprehensive information, videos and content which was very useful and covered most scenarios I could encounter. Fiona was extremely friendly, very professional and welcomed any questions I had giving me very clear explanations. I felt well prepared for my driving test after my lessons with Fiona and I would highly recommend her as a driving instructor to others ☺️
Thank you for your kind words Sam. It was an absolute pleasure to take you on your journey to independent driving and I know you will continue on your driving adventures in the same way you conducted your driving on our lessons and during your test - safe, confident and courteous. A joy to have on our roads .

Fantastic experience: Fiona has taught both my teenagers to drive and I would highly recommend her. She is friendly, supportive and absolutely reliable, as well as being a brilliant teacher.
Thank you for your kind words Carol. It was an absolute pleasure to take both your children to the path of independent driving where I know they will continue to be safe, confident drivers. Thanks also to you and your husband for that extra private practice that consolidated the skills learnt in the training car .
Fantastic experience: I wish there was an option to give more than 5 stars. Unfortunately I’ve had a few instructors. With that in mind, without a doubt, the best instructor I’ve ever had has been Fiona. Whole experience is relaxing, informative and the whole process is an absolute pleasure. Fiona’s app has everything you need to reflect on your progress and to see any areas you need to focus on. All questions and details for the test are there in one place, it’s the only thing you need to pass. The only negative thing I have to say is now I’ve passed, I no longer have time with Fiona in the car - it’s been absolute pleasure.
Thank you so much for your lovely words Scott. It has been an absolute pleasure to take you on that final path to independent driving. I am definitely going to miss our chats, banter and laughs .
Wishing you every success in all your future adventures.
Fantastic experience: I definitely would love to give 5 star for my driving instructor. I learnt all the knowledge and skills that are important to drive safely and pass the driving test. She is a strict instructor but always patient with every questions I asked. Well deserved to be the best instructor in Scotland.
Fantastic experience: Excellent tuition. Dedicated and professional. Would fully recommend. My son gained a huge amount from his lessons.
Many thanks Elise. It was an absolute pleasure to take your son through the steps to safe, independent driving and we hope he will continue to enjoy taking the benefits into his future driving adventures.
Fantastic experience: It has been a challenging and great journey for my driving. My instructor always explains things very well with patience. She is very supportive not only during the lesson, but also outside the session. She is the one who always encourages me and helps me with my confidence. I won’t forget this experience. I definitely recommend my instructor to my friends and colleagues.
Thank you for your lovely review Lucy. I was delighted to be able to take you on your exciting journey to independent driving. It was super to see your enthusiasm on each lesson and lovely to see your confidence shine through as we progressed through each stage to independent driving. I firmly believe lessons do not just extend to the time we are in the car and I am pleased that you utilised the support outside our lesson times. Congratulations again on passing your test and I look forward to seeing you out and about on your further driving adventures :-)

Thank you Emily. It was an absolute pleasure to take you on those final steps to independent driving. Wishing you many happy adventures!
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Fiona enough. From the outset her friendly, patient and approachable manner helped as I suffered with really high anxiety levels learning from…scratch . Fiona went through everything really well and I left lessons feeling capable and motivated to work on certain areas. She has the perfect professional attitude you want and need from a driving mentor. And she made sure every move was a smooth operation -before passing my test first time! I will never be able to thank Fiona enough for all her motivation, mindfulness sessions,and positivity for seeing me through -the road ahead! Cheers so much Fiona ☺️
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Alice. It was such a pleasure to take you through those important steps to independent driving and see your confidence grow week after week. Your enthusiasm throughout was a joy to see and I am so pleased you are now enjoying the freedom of independent driving. Best wishes, Fiona.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor and mentor. Took the fear-factor out of the driving test for me!

Fantastic experience: Fiona is an amazing instructor and I cannot recommend Select Drivers enough. She provides clear calm instruction and is supportive/encouraging. She goes out of her way to make sure you have all the skills and knowledge to be a safe driver. My son has really enjoyed his lessons and clicked with Fiona immediately. He passed his test today on his first attempt and we are delighted. Thanks for everything Fiona!!
You are very welcome. It was an absolute pleasure to teach your son to drive and I have enjoyed seeing him out and about on his independent driving adventures!
Fantastic experience: I booked a lesson with Select Drivers and knew that I wanted continue with Fiona within 20 minutes. She is patient, encouraging, and explains things very clearly! I didn't just feel like I was learning to pass a test, I felt like I was learning to be a safe and competent driver. I never write reviews, but I passed my test and cannot recommend Select Drivers enough!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review. It was a pleasure to take you on your journey to independent driving and hope you are continuing to enjoy new adventures.
Fantastic experience: Fiona from Select Drivers was patient and encouraging when she taught me to drive. She let me take things slowly and explained and demonstrated things clearly which made such a difference. I was very nervous after early lessons with a family member and starting lessons with Select Drivers helped me to build my understanding of how to drive safely and feel like I knew what I was doing in a car. When I took my test, she helped me prepare and take it at my own pace which meant I was able to take and pass my test with confidence.
It was an absolute pleasure to take you on your journey to independent driving. It has been great to see you out and about on your driving adventures and we know you will continue building on these.
