TESTIMONIALS
Donna’s School of Motoring
Driving lessons based in Gislingham, Suffolk and covering Diss, Norwich, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds
Rhiannon: I passed first time with only 3 minors today
thanks to Donna’s continued patience and support.
Donna adapted her teaching style to suit me throughout
my lessons and helped me improve my confidence and
skills, thank you.
Alex: Amazing driving instructor, got me through my test
really quickly and has a really good teaching style. Only
managed to get three minors on my test due to her
teaching method working well. She also has a good abs
easy car to learn in, she also calmed my nerves a lot in
the car.
Cassii: Donna is an absolutely fantastic driving
instructor, so patient and understanding. I have dyspraxia
and always knew it would be a challenging task learning
to drive but she would always try to understand how I
was viewing things so she could help me improve. She
went up and beyond what I expected from her, I cannot
recommend her enough!!
Catrin: I would highly recommend Donna, she made me
believe I could pass and I did first time! I honestly cannot
thank her enough for all the time and effort she has put
into me to make me believe I could pass and helping me
build up my confidence since I was a nervous wreck! She
will push you to achieve anything you are unsure about
but also talk you through it so you understand exactly
how to do it and even if you do make a mistake she talks
you through what you did wrong and how to correct it.
Thank you so much!!
Harry: Donna was an absolutely amazing instructor. She
was very patient and adapted her way of teaching to help
me to understand something if I was struggling. She
responds very quickly to texts and any queries about
lesson times, including letting you know if there is any
change or delay so you’re not wondering where she is,
which is very useful. Overall, a fantastic instructor and
person and would 100% recommend anyone wanting to
learn to drive to contact Donna.
George: Very good teacher and very understanding.
Taught me the best way possible and now I’m very
confident on the roads. Highly recommend to all people
looking to pass quickly.
Jasmine: Donna has a thorough, detailed approach to
her work that is especially helpful to anyone who
particularly struggles with driving and feels they need an
explanatory approach in order to understand the rules
and apply them correctly. She is meticulous in analysing
situations as they unfold on the road and will leave no
stone unturned in making sure you understand exactly
what you should do, when and why. Driving took me
longer than I had anticipated, but thanks to Donna's
positivity and encouragement I have now passed. She is
someone who takes personal pride in helping her
students succeed, and her consistency and admirable
patience means that - no matter how much you may
struggle - she never gives up, nor allows you to give up
on yourself. Thank you Donna!
Chloe: I found driving very difficult in the beginning (to
me there felt like a thousand things I had to do and
remember), but with Donna's constant support I was able
to feel comfortable and happy behind the wheel. It really
is true that she teaches you to drive for life; and I would
honestly recommend her to anybody. Thank you Donna,
you are fabulous!!!
Emily: Just passed with Donna first time! Although I
struggled a lot with driving and holding concentration,
Donna was there for me continuously boosting my
confidence and supporting me. She has provided me
now with a wide range of skills I need for life to drive
safely and become a confident driver. Would recommend
Donna to anyone, she's friendly and a brilliant trustworthy
instructor. Will miss her lessons!
Abbie: It took me quite a few hours to get up to test
standard but Donna was extremely patient and she was
able to help me by finding out the best ways in which I
learn. It was so benificial to learn how to drive with
Donna and she has made me feel confident with both my
knowledge and practical skills, I have gained valuable
experience and I would undoubtably recommend her to
anyone who wants to learn how to drive!
C. Nugent: Learning to drive with Donna was great, she
really understood me. Not only did she teach me to pass
my driving test but she taught me for life. I feel really
confident driving and I would recommend Donna to
anyone.
Tazzie: Learning to drive with Donna has not just been
about passing the practical, but about learning how to
drive for life. She really understood me and how to get
the best from me, structuring my lessons to develop all of
the skills I needed for driving, and I always felt I was
making progress. She is a fabulous teacher who has
coached me to success and I would definitely
recommend learning to drive with her. Thank you Donna!
Cecily: Donna is a great instructor - she is incredibly
friendly and chatty which really put me at ease when
driving. She not only helps you to pass your test but also
teaches you to drive for life, meaning I now have the
confidence to take on the roads by myself. I was very
nervous and anxious to start with but Donna was so
patient and kind through it all, working at my level the
whole time. Donna is genuinely a lovely instructor and I
would thoroughly recommend!
Lisamarie: Donna is very patient and an excellent
teacher. She gave me all the tools and confidence
needed to be a driver for life.
Tobin: There's thousands of driving instructors roaming
around God’s green earth, I had one and failed a test and
then moved on to Donna and couldn't have been happier.
She'll teach you, coach and push you all at the same
time and it's a lot to take in. However I know I wouldn't
have passed my test with another motoring school. She's
got the knowledge and the practice to bring your driving
skills from 0 to a million. Whether you’re a fresh driver
who's never even sat in the right hand seat of a car or
you’re a semi-experienced test failer like I was before
Donna then this instructor here is who you’re looking for.
I mean, sure you could go to chilled or chillax or flying
colours or anyone who pops up on your Google search
while you hunt for the best one. But if you’re looking to
ACTUALLY develop real driving skills and learn how to
drive safely instead of just learning about how to tick
boxes on a test examiner’s sheet then this is the
motoring school you've been struggling to find. You see
the 5 stars, they’re not there for no reason. Couldn't have
thanked Donna enough, she's got the care, the drive, the
enthusiasm and know how to make you the driver you’re
aching to be.
Yasmin: Donna is a committed and friendly person, she
will push you to reach your full potential and prepare you
for life ahead as a driver. I personally came across plenty
of struggles, for instance with observations and
awareness whilst learning but Donna stood by me,
pushing me to reach my goals. Resulting in me passing
my test first time with only one fault and praise on my
observation and awareness! You can count on having a
laugh during your lessons whilst getting things done.
Thank you so much Donna, I truly appreciate it, have a
wonderful life!
Ben: I had an intensive course of 30 hours over 6 days with
Donna and it’s been the best thing for my driving I’ve ever
done. Donna is very patient and skillful and adapts her
teaching style to the style that suits you best. I was definitely
not an easy person to teach and I faced a lot of problems but
Donna never stopped believing in me and helping me
through. I managed to pass my test with only 1 minor thanks
to Donna. If you’re thinking of having just driving lessons or
needing an intensive before your test don’t go anywhere else!
Lucie: I passed my test first time today, and I will be forever
grateful for Donna’s (abundant!) patience and continued
support through my journey. I found driving particularly
challenging due to a lack of confidence and nerves, but
Donna was very reassuring - especially on test day! Thank
you for making me a safe driver :)
Ethan: A very experienced and helpful driving instructor that
encourages you to do your best with a firm but fair attitude
towards the learner, which I feel was the best way of learning
to drive. Definitely worth the money I have invested in these
lessons.
Alex: Donna was a great driving instructor who helped me by
adapting to my learning style. I also learnt a lot about myself
through the lessons. Thanks Donna for being so good
through my learning and an all-round lovely person!
Callum: Donna was a fantastic driving instructor, she was
very patient and would adapt lessons to suit me, she was
very calm and reassuring on my test day, I would thoroughly
recommend Donna, I can’t thank her enough.
Sophie: A great driving instructor! I began driving by doing
an intensive course (not with Donna) which didn’t work for
me. After this I came to Donna where I realised there was so
much more for me to learn! Although I struggled in some
areas, Donna was excellent and had many techniques which
helped me overcome these bad habits and succeed with my
driving. I recently passed my test with just three minors.
Thank you Donna.
Matthew: Donna was my first driving instructor and we got
on right from the first lesson. When things didn’t go quite to
plan Donna took the time to explain what was needed in
getting things better. She has the patience to guide you to
become a safe and confident driver. On my test day I was
very nervous and Donna was happy to ride in the vehicle with
me during the test and even though I had a last minute
change of car the day before the test I still passed with one
minor. I can not thank you enough Donna and will
recommend you to anyone looking for a driving instructor in
the future.
Stacey: If everyone had Donna as their driving instructor
then the roads would be a much safer place! She puts you in
the right frame of mind so that you become a safe and
sensible driver. She has built up my confidence and the
improvement that I have made with her in the past few weeks
has been tremendous. She is very friendly and trustworthy. A
brilliant instructor who teaches you to drive for life, not just for
test. I would strongly recommend Donna to every single
person I know who wants to learn to drive.
Lucy: Donna is the most professional, patient and amazing
instructor around. She puts all her time and effort into what
she does to make sure you are a safe and confident driver,
her aim isn't to just prepare you for your driving test, she
prepares you for the world of driving for the rest of your life
and makes sure you can deal with any situation given to you.
I would recommend Donna to anyone and everyone looking
for an instructor!
Luke: I couldn't recommend Donna more! She is so reliable,
friendly and professional! Donna doesn't just teach you to
pass your test she teaches you for life! She will also find the
best way of teaching you as an individual to benefit you and
make you a more confident and comfortable driver. I
personally will recommend Donna to anyone learning to
drive, thanks Donna!
Harry: Donna is a fantastic driving instructor and will ensure
that you get the overall achievement. Although doing an
intensive course was very hard, she has taught me how to
drive for life, not just learning the test routes. Can't
recommend enough! Thank you Donna, couldn't have done it
without you!
Maddie: Before starting my lessons with donna I was really
struggling with my driving, she gave me the confidence I
needed. She is really friendly and changes her technique of
teaching to suit you. No matter how much I struggled she
never gave up and she kept me strong! She always made
sure she fitted me in when ever I needed and it worked really
well around my job. Donna made sure she was always
punctual for my driving lessons. I highly recomend her for
your own driving lessons, friends or your children.
Dan: Extremely good instructor - professional, patient and
friendly. Donna teaches you to drive not just for the test but
for life. Highly recommended instructor.
Sarah S: I enjoyed my lessons and felt comfortable around
Donna which helped me feel relaxed on my lessons and test.
She is an amazing instructor with lots of knowledge to
support you. No matter how much you struggle she will never
give up on you.
Nicola: Brilliant teacher who was patient and nurtured you
through learning to drive well! Donna makes sure that you
are safe when driving and that you learn the skills needed
and feel confident to drive by yourself when you pass. Lovely
and kind person and would recommend her to anyone
wanting to learn!
Therix: While I was learning to drive, I heard stories from my
friends about their instructors, being too harsh or not helping
them progress, and I found that with Donna I encountered
none of their qualms and misgivings. While learning with her I
found she was an instructor who was incredibly versatile as
was necessary between students, working to suit the way I
needed teaching when it differed from other people she'd
taught. She endeavoured to vary the directions we took while
learning so I wouldn't fall into the trap of learning by route,
and on top of teaching progressively, provided stimulating
conversation to make everything feel more relaxed so I, as
an Aspergers case, would take in the information more
readily. All in all worth the time and money, and I would
definitely recommend her to anyone learning to drive.
Sarah: Donna is an amazing driving instructor who is very
patient and supportive. Whenever I was struggling with
anything she worked with me to find ways to help me
through. She is very friendly and would recommend her to
anyone. Thank you Donna for helping me past my test!
Isabel: Learning to drive with Donna was the best way to
learn, always putting me at ease and making me feel
comfortable and knowledgeable with what I was doing. I
would recommend Donna to anyone, as she is very caring
and passionate about what she does.
Tori: I went with Donna not knowing much about driving and
have now passed my test. I definitely could not have done it
without her help. I enjoyed my lessons and felt comfortable
around Donna which helped me feel relaxed on my lessons
and test. She was flexible when it came to the way she
taught me and changed things depending upon how I learnt
best and what I was comfortable with. I would recommend
her to anyone. Thank you Donna for teaching me how to
drive!
