Real reviews from learners who felt more comfortable with a female instructor.
My instructor had me practising the actual test routes from the local centre weeks before my test. We covered the Stratford Road approaches, the lanes around Lapworth, and all the tricky bits repeatedly. By test day, everything felt familiar rather than scary. I knew where the roundabouts were, which lanes to use, and where I'd likely be asked to park. Passed first time because there were no surprises.

I failed my first test at the local centre because of poor observations at roundabouts, which completely knocked my confidence. My instructor at Rated Driving didn't sugarcoat it but was really supportive. We spent ages practising the approach to roundabouts along the A3400 and breaking down exactly where to look. She helped me understand why I was missing things rather than just telling me what to do. Second time round I passed with only three minors. Really grateful for the patience and proper teaching.

Thank you to my instructor for making me feel at ease from day one. The calm teaching style and clear instructions really helped, especially tackling the tricky roads around Hockley Heath. Passed first time at the local test centre and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rated Driving to anyone starting out.
