Real reviews from learners who felt more comfortable with a female instructor.
I was really impressed with how quickly Rated Driving got back to my messages. Booking lessons was straightforward and my instructor answered all my questions between sessions, which really helped with nerves. When I had a worry about lane positioning on Chester Road the week before my test, they sorted it straight away. That support made all the difference and I passed first time at the Stretford test centre.

I was absolutely terrified of driving, especially busy roads. My instructor at Rated Driving was so patient and calming from day one. The Stretford roundabout near the Arndale used to fill me with dread, but we practised it so many times with clear, gentle guidance that I actually started to feel confident. I honestly didn't think I'd ever pass, but their reassuring approach made all the difference. Passed first time at the local test centre and still can't quite believe it.

My previous instructor constantly cancelled at short notice and I wasn't improving. Switching to Rated Driving was the best decision. My instructor was punctual, explained everything clearly, and actually made me feel confident. We tackled Edge Lane roundabout and the Chester Road junctions properly until I was comfortable. Passed first time at the Stretford test centre thanks to their patient approach. Wish I'd changed sooner!
