Found Rated Driving through a friend's recommendation and couldn't be happier. Our daughter's instructor was incredibly patient with her nerves and really flexible about collecting her from Leatherhead College between lessons. The practical approach to tricky spots like the M25 slip roads made all the difference. She passed first time at the local test centre yesterday. Very grateful for all the support throughout.

We spent weeks practising the actual routes from the local test centre, so by the time my test came around, nothing felt unfamiliar. My instructor made sure I knew the North Street roundabout, the tricky turns near Kingston Road, and all the likely spots they'd take me. It made such a difference, honestly. Instead of feeling nervous about the unknown, I just focused on driving well. Passed first time with only three minors.

I failed my first test at the Leatherhead test centre because of poor observations at roundabouts and nerves got the better of me. My instructor at Rated Driving didn't let me give up. We spent extra time practising the Kingston Road roundabout and working through my anxiety. She helped me understand mirror checks properly rather than just going through the motions. Second test, I passed with only three minors. Really glad I stuck with it.
