MSS Drive!: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The absolute best driving instructor I could have hoped for! Michelle made every lesson a joy to do and is very patient, understanding and teaches you how to drive safely for life, not just how to pass a test. I could not recommend her enough!
Thank you for such lovely words Ellie. It was made all the easier as you were an amazing person to teach. I hope that your pass opens many, many doors for you. Drive safely my lovely.
Fantastic experience: I couldnt of asked for a more patient, kind and encouraging driving instructor, i was a very anxious person and michelle helped me to believe in myself and give me the confidence and skills to drive. Very much would recommend! Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you for a lovely review. You are an amazing young lady who I believe can battle anything. You were a pleasure to teach and I am honoured to be the one who watched you grow in confidence. Drive safely lovely.
Fantastic experience: Michelle is very reliable, patient and has helped bring out confidence and belief in our daughter who passed first time.
Thank you for the review Donna. Your daughter is an amazing young lady and really deserved her pass. Thank you for trusting me to teach her.
Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! From the very first lesson, Michelle made me feel so comfortable and confident behind the wheel. She’s so lovely, so patient, and genuinely such a joy to be around — I’m really going to miss her so, so, so much! Thanks to her amazing teaching and constant support, I passed my driving test first time with ZERO faults; She’s honestly the best instructor you could ever cross paths with, and I feel so lucky to have learned from her. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone!
Marian, you were one of the best pupils to date. We had fun didn’t we! I’m glad you found our lessons fun, even though some of the lessons were taken during very difficult times in both our lives. I think it gave us both time to focus on something positive whilst the rest of our worlds were somewhat negative.
You really did earn your pass, you worked so hard and it paid off. Well done my lovely, drive safely.
Fantastic experience: Would recommend michelle to anybody whos looking to start driving. She is patient and professional but also has a chat with you to make you feel comfortable when driving. Passed first time today thankyou to michelle for teaching me to drive.
Thanks for the lovely review Jade. You certainly deserved that first time pass and you made me very proud. I hope that your licence opens many new doors for you in the future. Well done lovely, drive safely.
Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. michelle is so kind, patient and understanding! thanks to michelle i passed my driving test first time! i HIGHLY recommend mss drive for driving lessons
Oh Miss Darcie. The one that made me cry……through pride. You worked so so hard and through the toughest times that a person could go through. Your determination and dedication certainly paid off. I really don’t think you realise what an incredible young lady you are and I feel really blessed to have been the one to teach you. Drive safely my lovely, and please stay in touch.
Fantastic experience: Great teaching helped to an easy first time pass
Thank you for your review Aayan. It was a pleasure teaching you. Drive safely buddy.
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor, very friendly and helped me learn everything quickly. Passed with 0 faults thanks to her work.
Thank you for putting your trust in my teaching Cory. I’m glad I was able to polish up your previously learnt skills and get you test ready. Our time together may have been brief, but I enjoyed it all the same. Enjoy the freedom your car brings you and keep waving as you drive on by. Stay safe buddy.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous driving instructor. Our son had a terrible experience with a previous driving instructor, who had really knocked his confidence. We found Michelle & after speaking to her on the phone at length, realised she wasn’t going to be available for a couple of months. We decided that after our past experience we would wait for her because she was so kind & offered loads of free advice. Our son has only been having lessons with her for a couple of months but the change in him has been dramatic. Michelle has really improved his driving & his confidence with her professional yet fun approach. He has only had around 12 hours of driving with Michelle but in this time she has taught him so much, techniques & skills that he hadn’t previously learnt. So much so that thanks to her, he passed his test today. Thank you Michelle, we are so grateful.
Thank you for a lovely review. Sometimes the chemistry between student and instructor doesn’t work. Sometimes the teaching methods that work for one student don’t necessarily work for another. I’m glad you put your trust in me and that I was able to help Indy to pass his test. He’s a super lad who engaged in every lesson. He’s keenness to learn made my job very easy. I hope you all enjoy the hunt for a car and I’m confident that Indy will be nothing but a super safe driver. Welcome to the roads Indy, it’s a pleasure to share them with you.
Fantastic experience: The most amazing driving instructor I could have ever asked for! Michelle has always adapted her teaching to my individual needs to make sure I was learning in a way that was best for me. Throughout my time learning with her, she ensured that I didnt only learn to pass my test, but that I would be safe and confident once I was able to drive on my own. She helped me to keep motivated and proud of my progress. I had such a good time learning with her and thanks to her teaching I was able to pass my test first time!
Thank you for a lovely review Scarlett. You should be very proud of your achievements, I know I am. I look forward to see you out and about in your funky yellow car and I hope you have many amazing adventures in it.
I’m more than happy to be sharing the roads with you. (I will give you a wave as I’m sure I will spot you). Safe driving.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Michelle enough. She has some good ways of teaching that really helped. I always looked forward to lessons with her as they were always a good laugh. Not only did she teach me how to drive she taught me how to deal with real life situations. I passed first time with no faults and I could not thank her enough for the confidence and independence she has given me
Every lesson was a pleasure. You really have matured during our time together and developed the skills and the mindset to be safe on the roads.
That pass was exactly what you deserved and I’m so proud of you. Don’t forget to pick me up and take me for a drive, drink (anything but coffee) and a giggly catch up. Well done.
Fantastic experience: The absolute best driving instructor! She has a wide range of skills and phrases, constantly adapting to your way of learning, that are impossible to forget. Michelle is not just a great teacher but also a fun person to be around. I’m going to miss our weekly lessons. I could not recommend enough.
Thank you for putting your faith and trust in me to help you learn to drive. Also, thank you for giving me reasons to develop my own knowledge by asking me questions that I could not answer and could not leave un-answered. My knowledge of the nutritional benefits of bananas is solely down to you. The number of roundabouts in Ipswich however, I’m afraid will always remain a mystery.
Fantastic experience: The best of the best! When I first began my journey of learning to drive, I struggled enormously with a lack of concentration (making it a challenge for me to even stop the car at the end of the road..) and during this time Michelle never once gave up on me. As a result of her patience and perseverance, I completely transformed as a driver and ended up passing my test first time! Learning to drive with Michelle wasn’t just about learning how to pass a test but also being prepared for the real world and all of the challenges you’ll face and how to overcome them. The greatest and most friendliest instructor I could have ever ask for and I couldn’t recommend her enough! :) I am going to miss our weekly drives hugely.
Thank you Cadence. What can I say? We dug deep into the tank of methods to help overcome many challenges but we got the result that we wanted in the end. You are an absolute inspiration to anyone who struggles with driving. It would have been so easy to give up in the early stages, but you kept plugging away, trusted me and tried every weird and wonderful technique that I suggested.
You overcame your fears and now you have the confidence to take yourself wherever your heart desires. I’m so proud of everything you have achieved during our time together. Well done lovely and drive safely. (Hopefully you will pick me up for a quick hot chocolate and a natter in your car one day)
Fantastic experience: The absolute bestest! Michelle is incredibly patient and friendly. She knows how to adapt to certain fears or even talents. She makes the whole lesson enjoyable through games and challenges which develop so many different skills! I have heard from friends how other instructors do their lesson and (with maybe a little bias ) she is by far the best. I started my lessons with her with a lot of anxiety due to two RTA’s previously on a motorcycle. We went at my pace and she never pushed me further than my ability. I am so confident now and I love driving thanks to Michelle. Last but not least I passed first time with only 1 small minor! She is completely and 100% recommended!
Thank you Emma. We did have some giggles along the way too didn’t we. You brought so much energy to the lessons and gave some memorable new meanings to some of my acronyms, many of which I can’t use again but will never be forgotten.
You came to me an anxious learner and left me as a very confident driver. I’m so proud of your achievements. I don’t think your mum will ever forgive me for the amazing prank we pulled on her about you failing, but it was worth it to see her reaction when she learnt the truth that you passed. Drive safely Emma, hopefully past my house to collect me for a catch up and a hot chocolate.
Fantastic experience: There is no words to explain how amazing Michelle is. She always made sure I understood everything, whether that be from using silly phrases or showing me herself. I had so much fun learning with her, and miss our weekly drive immensely. Highly recommend :)
Thank you for such kind words Ruby. I’m glad you enjoyed our lessons and you definitely deserved that 1st time pass. We did have fun didn’t we and I miss our time together too. You’ll have to take me for a drive in your new wheels. Safe driving sweetie.
Fantastic experience: Amazing, Driving Instructor can’t fault help me every step of away from the minute I passed my theory to the minute I passed my test absolutely amazing hundred percent recommend
