“Sue has now successfully taught both my children to drive.. and they both passed first time! It is so important to find an instructor who puts them at ease, who can chat on the way round but who knows how to get all the important points across. Sue is clearly this person!! Can’t thank her enough for her time and patience to get them through it!! Highly highly recommend x”

“Sue is truly a great instructor. Lessons were always comfortable, being able to chat whilst still being taught everything I needed to know. Often through the use of a Ipad which was great for visual learning. Due to her structured approach I can say I passed first try with 0 faults!”

“My instructor Sue Garner was an amazing teacher to have to learn to drive! She was incredibly kind, patient, and communicative. My anxieties about driving reduced with every lesson and I felt comfortable driving by test day. She covered all topics and questions thoroughly. I could not have passed with 1 fault without her advice and reassurance. I highly recommend Sue!!!”

“Couldn’t have passed first time with one minor fault without my wonderful instructor Sue, kept my standards high and gave me the confidence to start learning and continue driving, means the world to have such a positive influence in a new environment, thank you”

05 January 2026

“Absolutely amazing lessons from Sue.Passing without any minors can be credited to her.She was always prompt for lessons never cancelled a lesson on me and always happy to reschedule with enough notice.Very kind welcoming and lovely person to be teaching me every week.I felt very prepared for my driving test as Sue spoke with language very similar to what is used in exams so there was no surprises and I felt very prepared.Sue was very easy to contact with any questions and always explained very well so that I had the best knowledge possible.When preparing for my theory Sue sent me an additional app that was free as-well as the one I was already learning on this helped support and guide me to passing my theory first time.During lessons Sue when explaining used an app to show me what task I was about to complete as well as telling me, this was extremely helpful as I was able to visualise my next task meaning I could hopefully execute it to the best of my ability. I couldn’t recommend Sue enough.I can still recite all the tell me questions word for word and I did my test a few months ago as we constantly went through them throughout lessons. On the lead up to my test Sue and I completed many mock tests to help me feel as best prepared as I could these enabled me to get experience for a real test so that I would know entirely what to expect.Sue marking as-well like a true examiner was also very useful.”

“Learning to drive for me couldn’t have been a more positive and enjoyable experience this is all thanks to Sue.”

25 April 2024

“Sue is an incredible instructor, whose patience and determination ensured I passed my test with confidence. Not only did Sue help me pass my practical test, but she offered her time and valuable advice to help me fly through my theory. I was not a confident driver when I first began my lessons, but Sue’s patience, kindness and attention to detail gave me the confidence to drive and pass my test. Her expertise in the various test routes and sometimes tricky manoeuvres ensured that I was familiarised with how to drive a car with confidence and ensured that there were no nasty surprises on test day. Her expertise meant that she recognised where my weaknesses were instantly, from there she’d clearly communicate how I could improve and allowed me to make an area of weakness into one of my greatest strengths behind the wheel. Outside of lessons, Sue went above and beyond, whether that was helping me practice the ‘show me, tell me questions’ over the phone or booking in lessons which worked amongst my busy work-schedule so we could have consistent practice. She is a second to none driving instructor, who puts her students first, anyone would be extremely lucky to have Sue to help them pass their test. Yours gratefully”

“I can’t recommend Sue enough as a driving instructor. She makes you feel at ease during lessons and it feels like you’re driving with a friend. She has incredible patience and encourages you to keep improving lesson by lesson. I’ve often gone into lessons after a tough day at work, and she’s been able to help me decompress, and I would literally always come out of my lessons smiling! Her vast experience shows as she plans lessons well, identifies your weaknesses and will work on them with you until before you know it, your test ready! Thanks to Sue I passed first time and I couldn’t have done it without her. I’m genuinely going to miss my lessons with her so much, and can’t recommend her enough.”
