What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Semi-intensive and standard driving tuition at Divas Driving School, based near Graig Cwm Celie in Swansea, is delivered mainly through two named instructors, Donna and Hayley, both mentioned repeatedly across pupil accounts. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is how quickly nervous or previously unsuccessful learners gain confidence, with several pupils describing a switch from an earlier instructor who was not the right fit before finding their footing here.

Clear explanations and constructive feedback are mentioned again and again, helping pupils correct faults lesson by lesson rather than simply repeating them. More than one review highlights passing first time, several with very few minor faults noted on the day, and one pupil highlights returning to lessons after a two-year break and passing without a single fault recorded.

Patience features heavily in nearly every account, including from a pupil who is autistic and found the calm, unhurried approach particularly suited to processing instructions. Instructors are also described as adapting their pace to individual needs, whether that means slowing down explanations or pushing gently when a pupil is ready to improve. Learners across the wider Swansea area describe a supportive, encouraging environment where instructors are remembered fondly well after lessons finish.

I started my lessons with Donna a couple of months ago, it’s been an absolute pleasure to be around Donna and have her as my instructor, she was very friendly and always very supportive on every lesson I had, I had such a positive experience from the beginning to end, couldn’t of asked for anyone better! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done!

Very unprofessional from Donna. Screaming shouting & appalling attitude towards. Kicked my partner from the car and left her stranded down SA1. Disgusting from a " professional " driving instructor. Will not be going anywhere near this company again. I strongly advise you stay away from these people. Done 1 x 2hr lesson, her attitude was foul & rude. Let it slide first time. A week later done another 2hr slot after 25 minutes kicked her out of the car. I advise everyone stay away from these people.

I had Donna as a driving instructor, she was absolutely amazing. Donna was so patient so kind and overall very helpful. I had a different driving instructor before Donna that didn't quite work for me so when I changed to Donna it was the best decision, I passed my test first time with her help . Thank you very much !!

Donna was an amazing driving instructor!! I was quite nervous at the start, but she made me feel at ease straight away. She’s very patient, supportive, and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. If I got something wrong, she’d calmly go through it again without any pressure. Lessons always felt productive but never stressful. I’ve now passed my test and I’m so grateful for her help!!! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone learning to drive!! x

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Donna. Passing first time with only three driving faults is something I’m really proud of, and it’s completely down to the support and guidance I had along the way. From the very beginning, she created such a calm and reassuring environment, which made a huge difference—especially on the days when the nerves crept in! She has a brilliant way of explaining things clearly and patiently, and always took the time to build my confidence rather than rush the process. Every lesson felt constructive and encouraging, and I always came away feeling more capable than before. Her positive approach and belief in her students really shines through. If you’re looking for an instructor who is patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you for helping me achieve this milestone!

I had a first time pass thanks to Donna’s amazing teaching, she was very patient with me and helped build my confidence. She was extremely helpful and was very accommodating to my schedule. I would one hundred percent recommend her!

I passed my practical driving test yesterday. Learning with Donna was a good experience - she explains things clearly and gives helpful feedback, which really helped me improve my driving. I’m glad I chose her as my instructor and would happily recommend her to anyone learning to drive.
