Alaw | Manual | Passed September 2025

Charlie is an excellent instructor. She helps you grow and learn as a driver, helping you gain your experiences and confidence from the first lesson leading up until your test. Charlie will always tell you ways on how you can improve and develop your driving, while always ensuring to find the positives in what you've done. Her positive and confident presence and attitude always making a lesson an enjoyable experience for the learner. As a previous anxious learner driver, Charlie has helped me in various ways to prepare for the test. Through building my confidence leading up to the test, but also trusting my abilities in what Charlie has taught me. After passing my test, I continuously recommend other learner drivers to go for Charlie, as she will ensure to create a positive atmosphere in the car, while ensuring you're comfortable but also through having lovely conversations with her.

Stephanie | Automatic | Passed July 2025

I had my driving lessons with Charlie, and I really had an amazing and fun learning experience on the road. Charlie made driving lessons easier for me  to understand as she explained the do’s and dont’s of driving very well. I really do not have the confidence with driving but with Charlie’s patience in teaching, I made it and passed my driving test in one take last July 2025!!! I am now enjoying my independence on the road. Thanks to Charlie, my driving instructor. 🥰

Mari | Manual | Passed June 2025

 Learning to drive was something I was hesitant to begin, but starting lessons with you made me feel at ease and confident with being on the road. I found myself looking forward to each lesson, and the new information was delivered in an easy and relaxed way. Now after passing I'm just as confident in my skill and new-found freedom.

Tristan | Manual | Passed June 2025

I had a great time learning from Charlie. She was very helpful and taught me a lot in the few lessons. She was very understanding with lesson time and always willing to stay later after lesson to go over things and she always explained things till I understood. 

Anastasia | Manual | Passed March 2025

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. Charlie is super professional, but also one of the kindest and most patient people I’ve ever met. Every single lesson was such a pleasure — she made me feel confident, supported, and truly excited about learning to drive.

Thanks to her, I went from a complete beginner to a confident driver in just six months! I feel so lucky to have learned with her. Sometimes I wish I could go back, just to have another lesson together!

Thank you, Charlie, for all your help — and for giving me my new independence. 🚗💛

Samantha | Manual | Passed March 2025

I couldn’t imagine learning to drive with anyone other than Charlie, she was extremely patient and lovely the whole time even with me as an extremely nervous driver. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Joanna | Manual | Passed February 2025

I am very grateful that I had Charlie as my driving instructor, she was calm and reassuring and always friendly.

Charlie took the time to adapt her teaching techniques to best suit me, this really helped me progress in my lessons and eventually pass first time!

She was always there to reassure me and my decisions on the road and also on how to improve my mistakes that I made along the way.

I could not recommend anyone better than Charlie, and wish nothing but the best for her and her students!

Jack | Manual | Passed January 2025

 I was extremely happy with my lessons with Charlie as they were all very enjoyable and informative as I passed first time. Charlie also was very flexible and often picked me up from home and let me drive back to my own house to avoid me taking the bus.

Michelle | Manual | Passed December 2024

 I can’t recommend Charlotte enough. I was a nervous learner driver. Charlotte was calm and friendly.  She’s really knowledgeable but able to explain technical things in a way that even I could understand. She has loads of little tips and tricks to help you remember manoeuvres etc. I just felt so much calmer from the first lesson I had with her. I’m loving my new independence - it has helped me to get a new and better paid job! Id definitely recommend Charlotte to anyone that is thinking of learning to drive. 

Heather | Manual | Passed December 2024

When I was learning with Charlie, she managed to calm my nerves and anxiety behind the wheel and made driving a fun experience! I would highly recommend her as she is a very encouraging teacher and kind person!

Brandon | Manual | Passed December 2024

Ela | Manual | Passed December 2024

I had an excellent experience learning with Charlotte. Her lessons were always clear, efficient, and well-structured, which helped me gain confidence and pass quickly. I’d highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive! 

Jessica | Manual | Passed November 2024

 I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! She was calm and reassuring whenever I needed it, and made every lesson enjoyable and relaxed. Her way of teaching was clear, patient, and really built up my confidence.

Thanks to her support and encouragement, I passed my driving test and actually enjoyed the journey getting there. If you’re looking for someone who’s both professional and fun, and who genuinely cares about helping you succeed, I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Haydn | Manual | Passed November 2024

 I really enjoyed our time together, I felt relaxed and comfortable with you while on lesson. You talked through every step with me so I knew what I was doing and how to do it. Even when I made mistakes you helped me through it.
I wouldn't of passed my test without your help and I'm so grateful.

If I had to rate it, it would be a 5 out of 5
