What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Confidence built from the first lesson is the theme that runs through the feedback for this Portsmouth instructor, with Mei singled out again and again as the reason nervous learners stuck with it. Customers writing about their orders describe arriving unsure behind the wheel and leaving each session calmer, gaining enough composure to book a test and pass it at the first attempt. Several accounts note how clearly manoeuvres are explained, from roundabouts to turns into narrow roads, and how mistakes are flagged early with practical advice on putting them right.

That pattern of spotting a bad habit, talking through what it could lead to, then working on it until it feels natural comes up across the accounts, and safety is said to sit at the centre of every lesson rather than being saved for test preparation alone. Encouragement that keeps motivation going over months of tuition features too, as does careful readiness for the practical examination, so candidates feel prepared instead of rushed. One driver with decades of experience but no familiarity with an automatic reports that an hour of steady guidance removed all apprehension about owning one, which sums up the reassurance Mei’s pupils describe.

Mei is a fantastic driving instructor. She’s patient, encouraging, and always explains things clearly. What I appreciated most was how quickly she could spot issues in my driving and come up with a plan to help me improve. Her feedback was always constructive and easy to put into practice, so I could see my progress from lesson to lesson. From learning the basics to passing my driving test, Mei supported me every step of the way. She helped me build not only the skills to pass the test but also the confidence to become a safe and responsible driver. I'm really grateful for all her help and would highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive!

highly recommend Mei as a driving instructor! I started my lessons just over a month before my test date, and since I used to drive in my home country, I had to quickly adapt to new rules. Passing without her would have been incredibly difficult. Mei is extremely attentive to detail and catches the slightest mistakes to ensure you are completely ready for exam day. She is highly encouraging and provides crucial feedback that helped me tremendously. To top it off, she was incredibly supportive during the test, came along for the ride, and even drove us back home. Thank you, Mei!

In fifty years of driving I had never driven an automatic. After an hour with Mel's calm input I no longer feel daunted at the idea of owning one. Thank you.

Thank you so much mei for all your patience, very clear instructions and guidance on me. She's my 2nd instructor because my 1st one was so unprofessional and I honestly relieved that I changed and found mei as my new instructor. I couldn't do it without her helped she was so good and I can highly recommend mei to a new learner who's looking for a best and patience instructor. I'm a very anxious driver but she made me feel calm and relax during my lesson with her. I will surely miss my lesson with you. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
