Test Valley Driving

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: 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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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

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.
