I passed my test yesterday with 1 minor Massive thanks to Carol. Throughout my experience, whether I was nervous, confused or building confidence, Carol was always extremely supportive and helpful. She's really friendly and an unbelievable teacher. I couldn't of done it without her and highly recommend. Max Forcey
I passed today with Mark with 2 minors, he was an absolute pleasure to be taught by and is incredible at working at your pace whilst covering all bases needed for your test. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor honestly - gonna be recommending to anyone and everyone who needs to learn!!
Passed first time with only 3 minors after having lessons with Mark. Good chats, great driving instruction’s and very patient with me when I initially started as a very nervous driver.
I recently passed my driving test first time! I can’t thank Mark enough for helping me becoming a safe and confident driver. 100% would recommend Streets Ahead Driving school for anyone wanting to pass their test.
Couldn’t ask for a better instructor! Mark is really friendly and loves a good laugh which helps alot! He’s really patient and honest about your progression which i found useful. Can’t stop recommending him to everyone!
I recently passed my driving test first time with 2 minors, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Carol is a very effective teacher and helped me learn how to be both safe and confident on the road. I started out a very anxious driver but Carol put me at ease and made sure I understood everything needed not only to pass the test, but to feel fully prepared to drive independently as soon as I passed. Carol was always a pleasure to have lessons with - we would chat a lot, which made the experience really enjoyable whilst still being productive. She was very accommodating to my needs and flexible when necessary, which I really appreciated. Her car is perfect for learning in, with lots of useful features that make learning at the start much easier. Anyone wanting to learn to drive is in very good hands with Carol. She will absolutely get you to a test-ready standard and set you up to be a safe and confident driver for the future.
I passed my test first time with Mark. From the beginning, he was always very calm, patient, friendly and easy to talk to. He really helped to increase my confidence when driving. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Mark!
