Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Charlie enough! He was patient, calm and explained things clearly, which made learning to drive less stressful than I expected. He built my confidence step by step and encouraged me whenever I felt nervous, and never made me feel rushed. His lessons were well-structured but also flexible around my needs and schedule. Thanks to his support, I felt fully prepared for my test and confident in my driving. If you’re looking for an instructor who is professional, supportive, and who genuinely cares about their students’ progress, Charlie is the one!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Charlie for automatic driving lessons. He is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of driving and very patient. He was always on time for my lessons and flexible when I needed to change days or take a break. The app we used for lessons was really helpful, especially being able to view your progress and what you covered in each lesson. Thanks very much! :)
Thank you very much and I am so glad you got over the line like this. I am so happy for you and all that this may bring.

Fantastic experience: Charlie you are a superstar. You were so patient with Chloe, and generous with your time, and she really enjoyed having her lessons with you. You undoubtedly gave her the confidence to get through her test first time. Absolutely brilliant. I can’t recommend your teaching skills enough!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Charlie, what an amazing teacher and really takes the time to help you and go through things. Highly recommend Test Valley Driving!
Fantastic experience: 1000% recommend Charlie! Passed my test first time with only 1 fault and very few lessons! Charlie went above and beyond to help me. He was very black and white about things, meaning I was never confused about whether something was or wasn’t the right thing to do. Thanks Charlie, couldn’t have done it without you!
Thanks so much for that Chloe. It was an absolute pleasure and I'm so happy for you and your freedom to roam unassisted!
Fantastic experience: Just a short note to thank you Charlie for you endless patience, your kindness and understanding whilst working with Danny. You worked through his struggles with his autism and his very deep set and at times stubborn and unbending ways, you offered him not only the support and structure he needed but put in such a way he ‘just got it’. We loved the app feature where we could stay up to date with the progress of the lessons, see which areas needed practicing during the weekends and see the overall progress of the driving skills required and see when the next payments were due. Not only have you taught him to be a safe driver but he passed first time! This is something we never dreamt would happen. You have enabled him to have the independence he needs and provide a life skill that is so important in his future. I am so glad we found you!
Thanks so much Ruth. That really means a lot. I'm so happy for Danny and you all.
Fantastic experience: Charlie is absolutely fabulous and patient driving instructor! He made sure I was comfortable and confident in preparing for my test. Passed my test with only 5 faults! Thank you so much Charlie! 1000% recommend Charlie to anyone looking to learn to drive in the UK from foreign drivers (getting a UK license like myself ) to beginners!
Thank you so much and it has been an absolute pleasure. Keep up the great work and enjoys those green and pleasant roads!
Fantastic experience: Best instructor ever! Very patient in taught me the skills to become a safe driver! Giving me the confidence to drive!
Fantastic experience: Charlie is patient, informative, calm and encouraging. I came to driving late and he saw me through, passing first time. Thanks Charlie. Highly recommended!
Many thanks Jon. It's been a pleasure and many congratulations on a fine pass
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Charlie as a driving instructor. As I'm autistic I was nervous about how the journey of learning to drive would be for me but Charlie made me feel comfortable and was very understanding. There's also an app that we use that Charlie puts feedback and updates on each lesson which was useful. I passed my practical first try and I'm grateful to Charlie for all his help.
Thanks so much Dylan. It was an absolute pleasure and well done to you for taking this seriously, for approaching the lessons in a positive manner and for really engaging in the learning process.
Fantastic experience: Having had a few stops and starts since 2020 with a couple of different instructors, Charlie was the right person for me to get the job done. The lessons made time to focus on any tricky areas as needed. As I was trying to pass a bit quicker, Charlie was able to accommodate my need for extra sessions which was very helpful and important for my test which I was able to pass first time!
You are more than welcome Lydia and it was great to see you beaming after the test. Just goes to show, putting in the hard work pays dividends. Enjoy the freedom
Fantastic experience: Charlie is a brilliant and professional instructor, with a sense of calming in the car, I picked up driving very quickly with him which allowed me to pass my test first time

Thank you very much Mel. You were a delight to teach and I am so happy for you and the family. Be safe
Fantastic experience: At the start of January I had never even sat in the drivers seat of a car before, let alone driven one. 4 months to the day later I passed my test on the first attempt. It absolutely could not have been possible without Charlie's help. his teaching is simple, easy to memorise, yet incredible thorough, he really pushes you to be the best driver you can be whilst also maintaining a positive level of support and encouragement during lessons as well. Plus, on a personal level, he's also really great company to spend time with as well. Could not have been happier, cannot recommend him enough. Thanks Charlie.
Thanks very much Steve. I really appreciate those words and amazing to think about how much you achieved in such a short time. Take a bow. You deserve it
Fantastic experience: Charlie is a great instructor and I would highly recommend him. I was very nervous at the beginning however Charlie has helped me to feel confident when driving and I have now passed first time! Charlie made me feel comfortable but also pushed me enough to help learn and boost my confidence! Thank you Charlie
