Gabrielle W

Mel was the best driving instructor I could ask for. She was very calm and collected and kept everything straightforward for me to understand. She taught me all the manoeuvres and was very patient when I was learning them! I passed my driving test first go and it was mainly due to all the little details of the area and test that she told me about beforehand. I definitely recommend her!

Garrett C

5 star review. First lesson with Melanie she got straight to the point, told me all the "show-and-tell" questions and what an examiner marking sheet looks like - this removed a lot of last minute stress. Little things like turning the car off and on also helps with being comfortable while driving as it makes you not only ready for the test but a safe driver all together. By far the best instructor.

Courtney P

Totally recommend Melanie! Very polite, easy going, informative and punctual. Went above and beyond and was such a pleasure to learn from. She gave me so much confidence for my driving test.

Renata B

I'm extremely happy with her, she is professional, competent, polite, she knows exactly what to do to make me feel confident and relaxed.
I couldn't have had a better instructor, she knows exactly what she is doing and as a person she is amazing.
Thank you Melanie :)
Hope to see you soon xx

Billy W

I have had a few driving instructors over my time as a learner driver so far, however, Mel is most definitely the best that I have ever had! Mel is extremely supportive and caring and really takes the time to get to know her student’s personality and situation in life to maximise the ways she can benefit the knowledge and confidence of learners when driving. Mel is extremely professional And is always going above and beyond to ensure there is time in her schedule for your lessons! I would (and have) highly recommend Mel to absolutely any person who is looking for a driving instructor as I truly think she is the embodiment of what every driving instructor needs to strive to be. We need more instructors like Mel!
