Carol has got to be the best instructor ever, she made each lesson enjoyable and fun with lots of learning curves (pun intended). Being a nervous driver, she was able to iron out my problems and gave me the confidence I needed before my test (I passed first time)
She explains everything clearly and I never felt afraid to ask a question. We always have a good chat and laugh (which I’ll definitely miss)

Carol is amazing and I would definitely recommend her



Foyin passed June From Glos

Aaron passed in May From Tuffley


I have to say a huge thank you to Carol for helping me pass my driving test. I was really nervous and she calmed me down. She has always encouraged me to keep a level head and to just keep going. Carol has become a very good friend of mine and I cannot express how much I appreciate everything she has done to get me where I am now. Keep up the good work and I hope other students Carol has feel the same as I do.

Having had lessons with an instructor in South Gloucestershire, who said Josh was ready to take his test, we found that the earliest test date around Bristol was into the new year. However, Quedgeley had an availability Christmas Eve.Eager to drive ASAP the Quedgeley date was booked.

Not knowing the test routes practising was difficult so one Sunday I spotted Carols School of Motoring at the Test Centre and asked for her help. Carol organised a driving course tailored to Josh’s specific requirements and after 2 intensive 2 hour lessons and clear direction for our separate practice sessions Josh took his test on Christmas Eve and passed with only 2 minor faults.

We are extremely grateful to Carol who was prepared to not only take on a pupil at face value but adapt to his situation and provide tuition at the level and input needed.I do not believe that many instructors would have picked up the challenge in the way Carol did and Josh’s passing of his test is much to do with Carols clear instruction and valuable input.

Carol was also prepared to furnish me with information and answer questions relevant to the test outside of the lessons which made the practice sessions easier and relevant. Josh has now the freedom he wanted, being able to drive his car and go places without hassle.

He is very grateful to Carol and recognises the important part she played in his test process.We both highly recommend Carol as an Instructor and thank her for being prepared to take on a pupil outside the normal process.

Thank you so much for all your help- I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you! Without your lessons I don’t think I’d have enjoyed the process of learning anywhere near as much and you especially helped me to improve my manoeuvres! xx



Emily from Bishop Cleeve Passed February


I cannot thank Carol enough for giving me the skills and self confidence to learn to drive. Her patience, humour and laid back approach to teaching helped me to overcome my nervousness about driving and pass my test first time! I now feel confident and prepared to hit the roads on my own, which is something I never thought I would achieve. Thank you so much Carol xxx



Danni from Abbeydale Passed February


“I am so grateful to Carol after I passed first time. I can only attribute that to being thoroughly prepared for the test and sure of her confidence in me. She’s been a great instructor and I would definitely recommend to any driver, new or with experience.” Xx

Emma from Gloucester Passed in January


I would highly recommend Carol’s school of motoring. Carol is an excellent instructor; she is kind, patient and prepares you well for the driving test. She is funny and makes you feel at ease during the lessons. It’s been a pleasure learning to drive with Carol and I’ve made a friend in the process. Thanks Carol, I will miss our weekly catch ups and laughs! Xx



Cecilia from Glos Passed January


Thanks Carol for getting me through my driving test, if I look back to this time last year, I would never had seen this as a possibility. I’d tried learning to drive on and off for 5 years, finding any excuse to not carry on with my lessons, but Carol was different.

Carol is a kind, caring and patient instructor, moving at your pace to ensure you always feel comfortable. She offers great flexibility when booking lessons to fit around work schedules. Once you’ve had a couple of lessons, she’ll start to feel like a friend rather than an instructor, making the experience of leaning to drive a pleasant one. Carol’s automatic car is a lovely car to drive, smooth and easy to manoeuvre. If you’re a nervous driver or looking for automatic lessons, this is a great car to learn in, with a great instructor y your side.



Alex from coopers edge Passed in December


Learning to drive with Carol was a really enjoyable experience,
especially considering that I had previously been involved in an
accident as a passenger. She helped me to build my confidence on the
road, culminating in me passing my driving test first time.



Kat passed Dec From Quedgeley


Carol is a fantastic driving instructor. She’s so patient and has the skills to find the style of learning which suits you. I had some trouble finding the right instructor in the past, but have now become a great driver!
If you’re looking for an instructor who will teach you to drive, spend the time and effort to get to know you and how you learn, and who will be just an all round lovely person, Carol’s your woman!



Sally from Cheltenham Passed November


Can I just emphasise how grateful I am to you for getting him through it all x

I passed my test first time with Carol, with only a few minors. I looked forward to every lesson. I was previously a very nervous learner before I changed schools to Carols. She quickly helped me restore my confidence in myself. Very flexible, calming and friendly teacher and I would recommend Carols School of Motoring to everyone.
Thanks Carol!



Luke passed November From Longlevens


I’ve been a pupil of Carol’s for just under 2 years.
I wasn’t very confident with my driving abilities, but Carol helped that grow.
She puts you at ease & the lessons fly by since your having a good time.
She gives constructive criticism in a fair manner to help you improve.
She just wants you to do your best & will give you all the skills you need to succeed & be a good driver in the future.



Joanna from Matson Passed October


I had a fantastic experience with
Carol, would definitely recommend her to anyone! Passed my test the first time with only two minors which still seems to impress everyone I tell. Being an expat with many years of bad American driving habits it wasn’t an easy task. Thanks again!!



Dan from Cranham Passed September


Carol was really great to work with and really hard working and focused on getting me to pass first time. She was very reassuring throughout, but taught me a lot and never left any part half-taught. High quality teaching guaranteed from a brilliant dedicated woman.
Thank you for everything, I am beyond grateful 😀



Callum passed September From Hucclecote

Jenny from Kingsway Passed September


Having previously gone with two diffrent instructers and being unsuccessful, i had began to think i would never pass. I hated the idea of driving and was extremely nervous. I decided to give it one last shot and went with carol. Not only is carol great company! but a great teacher as well , where as i felt like other teachers had given up on me carol didn’t.
I no longer feared lessons and now i have passed i will miss them! Thank sooo much carol

Carol is the most hardworking instructor I have ever had the luck come across. She is observant, kind, a natural when it comes to teaching and people skills, and tailors every single lesson to suit individual needs. She sincerely takes pride in the quality of her work and the confidence of her students, always trying her absolute best. With so many years of experience and hours on the road, her best really is, in my opinion, the best. Her friendly yet professional demeanour makes lessons a pleasure, filled with chat and banter that prepares one for driving in real life. I cannot thank her enough for giving me the gift of safe driving; I am proud of have been one of her students.



Bethany passed August From Longlevens





I highly recommend Carol as she is the best and most patient driving instructor I have come across.. She made me able to pass the test by teaching me kindly hence assertively.. I really thank her for her great effort..



Farheen passed August From Gloucester


After suffering with a lack of confidence in my ability to drive after failing my test twice with previous driving instructors  Carol finally talked me into taking my test again and I’ve passed, and with only two minors. I particularly recommend her if you’re having problems with your confidence as she has a good balance  of knowing when you’re in need of a bit of encouragement or more of a kick to get you going. Thanks Carol.



Selina passed July From Abbeymead

Reece passed June From Abbeymead


I passed with Carol’s school of motoring and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is very patent in the way she teaches and is willing to help all, whether they have never driven a car before or have some previous experience. She provides both manual and automatic lessons for all ages and is a very reliable instructor. Carol is a great instructor, so if anyone is looking for lessons get in touch with her.



Ben passed July From Abbeymead


Many many thanks to you Carol, you took away all my driving mistakes and transformed me into a strong and confident driver with attention to details.
You were calm, patient, straight to the point, funny, gave me confidence on the road. I have never met such a good instructor.

Please, go to Carol’s driving school if you want to learn how to drive with confidence.

After failing my driving test twice with other instructors, Carol’s driving school took me and made it where the others couldn’t. It was a lovely journey Carol.



Eric passed June From Gloucester

Having Carol as my driving instructor was reassuring, having her fit me in around my work schedule helped a great deal, she was great company and as an instructor, the best ive had. She was patient and let me learn from my mistakes whilst allowing me enough room to learn independently. Easiest honest recommendation id give to anyone. Thank You very much Carol.



Halima passed may From Glos


I passed first time with Carol and I can’t thank her enough for her cool, calm and collected approach. Carol was very understanding of my busy schedule (uni and work) and always worked her hardest to squeeze me in. She made a lot of realistic goals for me all the time leading up to my test and before I knew it I had passed! The test was made a lot easier by her extensive knowledge of the test routes. I never thought I would pass, but Carol made it possible! Can’t thank her enough for everything. Definitely the best instructor around! (Thank you so much Carol, you’ve honestly made me the happiest person alive today!) xx

She is very kind , cooperative and respects time and individual people circumstances . She taught me the art of driving which I was never taught before . I will recommend her as an ideal driving instructor for my family and friends and any one who really wants to drive .



Alaa passed March From Glos


Carol is the hardest working person I know. She’s absolutely devoted to ensuring each and every one of her students know the ins and outs of driving. I can honestly say my experience of learning to drive with Carol was excellent as well as enjoyable. She provides stimulating tests routes and ensures students are familiar with these before taking their test. I could not have felt more prepared for my test and this was all down to Carol’s outstanding teaching. Two broken wrists later and I finally passed my test first time. Thank you Carol!

Emma passed March From Stroud


I can’t thank you enough for helping me pass the practical driving test on my first attempt! As an international driver, obtaining a British driving licence seemed too daunting. I was anxious and completely overwhelmed with the challenge of mastering skills required to drive legally and safely in England. Your calm approach to teaching really put me at ease. You were acutely aware that I needed reassurance to build my driving confidence and always ended each lesson with a positive comment. I can say without a doubt that I wouldn’t have passed the practical driving test without your expertise and gentle guidance. Thank you Carol!



Stefan passed in February From Gloucester


My Testimonial x I have been learning with carol in an automatic for around 4 months, she is dedicated , honest and very approachable! I have never felt more comfortable with an instructor (and I had 3 others before carol that did not work out for more than a lesson or two), I would highly recommend carol to anyone wanting to learn in an automatic or a manual vehicle! I would like to thank carol for being patient, understanding, and the ultimate teacher, if it hadn’t been for carol I would still be on a bus x x thank you x good luck to all your future pupils x



Lisa from Cheltenham Passed in February


Carol was always friendly, supportive and patient during my lessons, even though I struggled a lot to begin with. I’m sure there are many instructors who wouldn’t have stuck with me and remained so wonderfully patient. I never felt pressured to try an automatic but felt fully supported when I made the decision to switch. I honestly didn’t ever think I would pass first time and don’t think I could have done it with anyone else.



Sophie passed March From brockworth


Carol has been a really great instructor, she’s very patient and got me to pass first time!



Lara passed January From Rodborough


Carol’s expertise and easy manner got me to test standard in under 6
months. It was a pleasure to have her as a tutor. I learnt in her
automatic, which, being electric, was a beautiful drive – almost space
age! She uses a tablet to help drivers with independent drive
exercises and mock tests, so her approach feels up-to-date, and,
knowing the local test routes inside out, very diligent. I can now
drive my fiancé to hospital when our baby is due. Thanks Carol!



Ben passed January From Dursley


Carol is a great instructor who was always so friendly and made me feel comfortable during lessons, which made learning to drive so much easier, especially as I was so nervous when I started! Thanks to Carol’s encouragement and patience, I managed to pass first time 🙂
