What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Intensive courses form the core offer at this Norwich school on Clickers Road, with instructor Alexandra named throughout as the tutor delivering them, including a forty-hour programme completed by one pupil starting from complete scratch. Reviewers often mention her patience and calm manner, particularly with nervous beginners, those new to driving in the country, and pupils switching over after earlier lessons elsewhere.

Clear explanations of manoeuvres and road situations are described as a consistent strength, with several pupils noting that concepts finally made sense once she talked them through properly. A thread running through the feedback is confidence-building for learners who arrived anxious or with no prior experience at all, alongside first-time passes and successful retests. One pupil credited her with helping them progress quickly to meet a work deadline for qualifying.

Tuition is tailored to individual strengths and weaknesses rather than following a fixed template, according to several accounts, with instruction described as warm, motivating and easy to follow throughout each session. Weekday hours run from 8am to 8pm, offering flexibility for those fitting lessons around work or study commitments. The intensive course format on Clickers Road is repeatedly described as thorough and supportive, building driving confidence steadily from any starting point.

Alex is amazing!! Just passed after a 20 hour intensive course with practically no prior experience, she made learning to driving easy and natural even for me!! She teaches in a very intuitive manner and makes it a stress free experience, I could not recommend her enough to anyone wishing to pass quickly and with confidence.

Alex was an amazing instructor from start to finish, I’m so glad I chose to do my intensive course with her! I was nervous at first but Alex helped me relax and her calmness is one of the things that made learning with her such a great experience. Her teaching style is warm and friendly, and she explains things really well. There were lots of things that she was able to explain in a way that meant I truly understood them for the first time! I had a little bit of driving experience beforehand, did 20 hours with Alex over the course of a week and passed first time with 2 minors! I’d recommend Alex to anyone wanting a safe and supportive environment to start learning. Thank you Alex!!

Exceptional Driving Instructor: I recently had the pleasure of learning to drive with Alexandra, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I've made. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Alex is not just a teacher; she's a mentor who genuinely cares about his students' success. Her patience and calm demeanour instantly put me at ease, even during the most nerve-wracking moments behind the wheel. What sets Alex apart is her personalized approach to teaching. She tailored each lesson to address my specific strengths and weaknesses, ensuring that I progressed at a comfortable pace. Her thorough explanations and constructive feedback were instrumental in building my confidence as a driver. Moreover, Alex goes above and beyond to accommodate his students' schedules. Despite her busy schedule, she always made time for me, which speaks volumes about his dedication to his profession. Thanks to Alex's guidance and expertise, I passed my driving test with flying colours. I am forever grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone in search of a top-notch driving instructor.

Alex is an amazing instructor. She is great at boosting your confidence and teaching you the little things about driving that make a big difference, but which other instructors don't put enough emphasis on, or neglect to mention I had lots of lessons with other instructors, but failed my first two practical driving tests terribly. Then I decided to go for lessons with Alex, and it made all the difference. I committed lots of major faults and even a dangerous fault on my first two tests, but after having lessons with Alex I had the confidence, skills and mindset I needed; I passed my third test perfectly, no faults. Given my experience with several of them, I can say with certainty that she is a better instructor than most Her positive attitude, understanding, patience and general perspective on life make her an excellent instructor. I can't reccomend her enough

I completed a 40 hour intensive course with Alex, and throughly enjoyed learning with her. She has helped me to drive from scratch, whilst building my confidence. She is kind and patient, two things that were extremely important to me when considering an instructor. Very happy with my choice, I would highly recommend Alex to anyone, especially those with no previous driving experience. Thoroughly enjoyed my course of learning, thank you Alex! And finally, I passed first time with 2 minors!

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED! Alexandra is a prominent instructor - knowledgable and capable of handling the mistakes I made v.s. road situations promptly which facilitate me, who had zero experience in driving, to have much more confidence. It is especially important to someone like me who was hectic and worried while being new driving on the road. The intensive course itself could be challenging, not only Alexandra was patient to explain the rationale of driving repeatedly, and repeatedly, but also flexible and observant in teaching, in terms of emotions, technique, motor-coordination, and reaction. I was given the opportunity to learn and grow in the ups and downs of the learning curve, at my own pace. Overall, she is professional and experienced. Robustly recommended. Thank you SO MUCH again Alex ;)
