🚦 Congratulations 🚦 to Chloe who passed her test yesterday in Reading on her first attempt 🥳

And just to make it that little bit more challenging, there was a huge downpour during her test and visibility was minimal 🌧️ But Chloe kept her cool, trusted herself, and got on with keeping the examiner safe.

I’ve loved teaching Chloe and hearing all about her adventures along the way, I’m sure there are plenty more to come now she has her licence 🚙

I’ve watched her confidence grow slowly but surely, and probably one of the biggest changes has been seeing Chloe start to believe in herself and that she really could pass.
Mum and Dad have been her biggest supporters throughout, encouraging her every step of the way, and finally Chloe realised that she could do it too! 💫

You should be incredibly proud of yourself, Chloe. Passing your test is such a huge hurdle, and you’ve worked so hard to get here.

Wishing you lots of fun (and safe) driving in your own car 🚙

🚦Congratulations 🚦to Aidan who passed yesterday in Reading on his first attempt.

We’d recently swapped from another test area, so we only had a few weeks to get Aidan prepared for Reading. He’s worked really hard, particularly on remembering that it’s not the first one back to the test centre wins 😅 Today it all came together, with just a few driver faults and, most importantly, a safe drive 🤩

Mum has also helped enormously with all the extra practice, and my number one request to Aidan was always to make her feel like she had her own chauffeur 🚘

Well done Aidan! you absolutely deserve this! 💫

🚦Congratulations 🚦to Katie who passed yesterday in Reading.
Welcome to the ZERO faults club 🥳

To say I’m proud of her for pushing those strong, pesky test nerves to one side is an understatement!

She gave the examiner a safe, confident drive and he was full of compliments afterwards.

Katie, you are a ⭐ You listened to my advice, kept pushing yourself every lesson, and never gave up when things felt challenging. I’m absolutely delighted for you and this well deserved result 💫

Wishing you all the best for your final year at school and enjoy the solo drives and choosing your own songs 🎵

Thank you also to mum and dad for the support behind the scenes 🤩

🚦Congratulations🚦to Oliver who passed in Greenham today on his first attempt! 👏🏼

Understandably Oliver had some test nerves beforehand, but he kept calm and delivered a genuinely safe drive when it counted. I don’t think he quite believed it when he was told he’d passed and I bet he hasn’t stopped grinning since! 💫

He’s worked so hard for this, picking up extra lessons and practicing every day since his exams finished. Shout out to Mum and Dad who supported him in between lessons. And keeping up the family tradition, both his brothers passed first time as well - must be something in the water! 😄

Oliver’s taking a well-earned year off to travel before his next steps, and I couldn’t be happier for him. Wishing him amazing experiences, incredible adventures, and safe journeys wherever he ends up! ✈️🌍

🚦Congratulations🚦to Toby who passed in Chertsey on his first attempt with only two minor driving faults 👏🏼

He’s put in the work to get here - smashing two mock tests recently and adding loads of practice in Chertsey with his dad by his side. That dedication really showed on test day 💫

It’s been such a pleasure teaching Toby, he’s always been so polite and willing to give things a go. I’ll miss swapping notes on our favourite holiday destinations during lessons!

He’s off to uni in September, and I couldn’t be prouder to have played a part in getting him test ready. Wishing him every success with his studies and all his future adventures safe travels and smooth sailing ahead! ⛵️🎓

Drive safe! 🚙💨

🚦CONGRATULATIONS 🚦to Reuben who sailed through his driving test in Wi******er with just two minors.

He came to me already driving well thanks to great practice with dad, I just gave him the test-ready polish he needed, and he did the rest. 🙌

Reuben is the brother of one of my previous students. Lovely to have another member of the family trust me with such an important milestone 🚗

When we weren’t practising manoeuvres, we were debating F1 races and talking drums - he has great taste 🏎️🥁

Enjoy every mile of your new independence Reuben, you’ve earned it! 💫

Apologies for the delay in posting!

A massive thank you to the father and son team who rescued us today after my student’s unfortunate altercation with a curb! After our own tyre changing efforts proved unsuccessful, they appeared like true knights in shining armour and saved the day.

Thank you for your help ⭐
Absolute legends! ⭐

🚦Congratulations 🚦to Harvey on passing his driving test today! 🚗🎉

I didn’t start off teaching Harvey, but I helped to get him test ready. He's one of those students who is always polite, always listens, and always manages to make every lesson enjoyable 💫

This pass is a little extra special for me as Harvey is not only a neighbour, but also the son of someone I used to know from school. It's funny how life comes full circle - one minute you're in school together, the next you're teaching their son how to parallel park!

I'm delighted to say Harvey passed today and is now free to swap asking for lifts to offering them instead. His family will no doubt be as delighted as I am.

A huge well done, Harvey. You've worked hard for this and thoroughly deserve it. Stay safe, enjoy the independence, and don't forget to wave when you drive past! 👋🚙

🚦 Congratulations 🚦 to Anna, who passed her driving test in Reading this week 🎉

Anna came to lessons with confidence from the very start, and it’s been great watching that confidence grow into safe, calm and capable driving 👏

To make it even more special, Anna is also the sister of a previous student of mine, so it’s a real privilege to have been trusted by the family a second time.

Congratulations Anna - I couldn’t be prouder, you worked hard for this result.
Enjoy the freedom of driving yourself to all your clubs and activities. You fully deserve it 🚘

🚦 congratulations 🚦to Charlie on passing his driving test in sunny Greenham 🥳

Charlie was already a very capable driver when we first met, my main job was just ironing out a few cheeky habits and pretending I knew best now and then 😄 Thankfully, he listened (most of the time!), and it all paid off with a well-deserved pass 👏

A big shoutout to his dad for the unwavering support and the endless hours of private practice - fuel bills alone deserve a certificate🚗💸

It’s also made me really proud to be trusted with teaching Charlie after having taught his big brother too.

Wishing you loads of safe, happy miles ahead, Charlie, enjoy the freedom! 🚗💨
