Sue was incredible! She made the learning experience so personal to me and my needs and she made sure to never push me too far out of my comfort zone. She knows everything there is to driving and testing and the DVSA. She also cares very much about me as a person and she has made me so feel so safe; I have trusted her with a lot! I will miss her very much!

I’m thrilled to share that I passed my driving test on the first attempt, all thanks to Sue at Toads School of Driving. From day one, she created a friendly, supportive and encouraging environment that made me feel confident and at ease behind the wheel.
A standout feature of Sue’s approach is the detailed written feedback after every lesson. This was incredibly helpful in tracking my progress and pinpointing areas that needed improvement. Each lesson was structured with clear goals, and the detailed feedback allowed me to focus on specific skills, making the learning process both effective and efficient.
What truly sets Sue apart is her focus on sensible, safe, and legal driving. She didn’t just prepare me for the test - she prepared me to be a confident, responsible driver for life! Her calm demeanor, patience, and clear explanations made even the toughest challenges manageable.
If you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable instructor who’s genuinely invested in your success, Sue is your perfect choice. Thanks to her excellent teaching, I passed on my first try and feel fully ready for the road.
Thank you, Sue, for your exceptional guidance!!

Sue is an amazing instructor. I couldn’t not recommend her more. She is super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and a great teacher. She even managed to get me to sit in a lorry cab one lesson to show me how limited their vision is. Passed my test first time today! Thank you Sue!

Sue was the absolute best instructor I could have hoped for. Sue was the only instructor that got back to me quickly and who didn't fob me off or expect me to go miles away to get picked up, and she made room for me in a busy schedule. And I am so glad Sue was the instructor I ended up with. Sue is the most dedicated instructor you could hope for. She will not just train you to pass your test, but will really teach you to drive, and will adapt her methods to suit your way of learning. I had driven a bit in an automatic, for example, so she taught me in those terms and led me to unlearn habits of automatic driving without me even noticing she was doing so.
She keeps her cool and is a constant calming presence even if you feel like panicking. She will be truthful about when she thinks you're ready to take your test; she's not going to drag it out or try to get you in before you're ready. She's always doing more to become a better instructor, even though she's already the best, and she cares so much about her job and her students. I can't recommend her enough. If you get on her schedule, you'll be lucky.

Sue was recommended to me for my son. He’d been learning to drive on and off for quite some time but fell apart when thinking about taking his test. She built rapport with him (and me) very quickly, and identified ways to help him fill in the gaps caused by his need to think deeply and analytically.
Although it’s fantastic that he passed his test, we’re missing our weekly pearls of wisdom from Sue! I feel confident that he’s been given every tool possible to be a safe, competent driver and I cannot wait for my next child to learn with Toad…

Thank you Sue for giving Nathan so much confidence and belief in his ability to drive and successfully pass THE TEST! You said a good examiner helped. Certainly did!
BUT more importantly…..
an excellent instructor was a vital part of the process. You were ‘Top Class’.
I can wholeheartedly recommend you 100 %

I recently passed my driving test first time after learning with Sue and could not have done it without her patience, expertise and encouragement along the way!
Sue is an expert instructor who will work endlessly to ensure you are not only prepared for the test itself, but prepared to deal with anything on the roads confidently and independently. Her wide range of teaching resources, particularly the use of the iPad, and detailed lesson feedback & planning helped to develop my understanding of the roads along the way, transforming me from a nervous and hesitant driver into one that now drives with well-rounded knowledge and confidence.
Alongside planning our lessons to ensure we covered all sorts of situations and road conditions, Sue went above and beyond to help me feel ready for the driving test, from organising mock tests with other driving instructors to breaking down the course of events on the day to help it all feel a bit less daunting.
She has been a joy to be in the car with and I will miss our lessons!

What can I say, Sue you are quite possibly the best driving instructor in the UK!! Thank you so much for all your hard work and patience when it came to teaching my daughter, you went above and beyond and I am forever grateful. You ensured she had the tools and knowledge to start her driving journey and I feel confident that after passing today, she will continue this journey safely and in any situation, will think ‘what would Sue do’
I cannot recommend you enough and encourage anyone looking for a driving instructor to use Toads as it is, simply the best.

Having not taken my first driving lesson until the ripe old age of 44, it’s fair to say I was mildly anxious as I undertook my long overdue journey as a learner driver. However, I needn’t have worried. Between them Sue and Ben couldn’t have been more understanding. Via a combination of expertise and diligence they gave me the knowledge, skills, and crucially, the confidence to pass my test first time. Toad’s is easily the best driving school around and the reviews back up that statement. Thank you so much Sue and Ben.

My Son had failed his test a few times and was becoming disheartened and loosing confidence even though his basic skills seemed ok. We found Sue thanks to the fabulous reviews she was receiving and she was JUST WHAT HE NEEDED. She made him focus, gave him clear, expert tuition (not just for passing his test, but for becoming a safe and courteous driver), she also gave him his confidence back. HE PASSED HIS TEST ON FRIDAY! Whilst I don’t want to take away from his own achievement we both feel that Sue was the X-factor that he needed and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Absolutely amazing Sue! Thank you so much for taking my son out on his tractor and sharing some of your vast wealth of knowledge with him. This has given me great peace of mind :)

Sue was brilliant and helped me past first time. She is excellent for nervous first time drivers who just need a bit of extra confidence. She helped me overcome my fear of dual carriage ways and enjoy driving. Thank you

I am absolutely over the moon that I am now able to drive after passing my test a couple of days ago, thanks to the help and support of the lovely Sue. From the very start and throughout my journey, Sue has been calm, patient and understanding. She recognised my strengths and weaknesses and always adapted her methods of teaching to help me overcome barriers and improve my skills. In addition to this, Sue made all of my lessons fun and enjoyable, something that I always looked forward to. Every lesson was varied, but always of benefit, with a mixture of practical driving and moments to stop and reflect. Wherever we drove, Sue would always teach me how to be a safe and considerate driver, teaching me not only how to control a car and use my mirrors, but to observe everything around me, anticipate anything and know how to deal with it and ask myself “is it safe and is it necessary?”. Sue has always gone above and beyond to help me in achieving my goal, whilst allowing me to take things at my own pace and has always made me feel at ease. I would recommend Sue as a driving instructor to anyone wishing to learn. Thank you Sue!

Sue helped my son to become a safe, considerate and safe driver. She was always patient and supportive and he quickly built up confidence in his own ability to make independent decisions. He demonstrated this with a first time pass in his own car. Highly recommended by me to any other parent trying to find the best instructor to take care of your child. Lessons were fun and not restricted to just driving test routes. My son has driven all over Cambridgeshire in the lessons with Sue and I feel he is truly ready to drive on his own. Thank you Sue.

Sue has taught all my 3 children to drive and they all passed the 1st time . Unlike other instructors sue teaches how to actually drive and not just how to pass your test . Sue is calm patient and reliable I would recommend her to anyone .

Sue has been the best driving instructor. She keeps you calm and talks you through everything. She has her students best interests and my two sisters also had her as a driving instructor. All 3 of us passed first 1st time with sue, she is absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend her enough she is the BEST at what she does.

I am so grateful to Sue for helping me with my driving, particularly throughout the pandemic. She has given me the skills and confidence to drive independently :)

As a parent and knowing how nervous my son was, taking his trailer test, we could not have wished for a better instructor. Knowledgeable, understanding and supportive. Thank you so much.

My son has just passed with Sue, after my daughter passed a couple of years ago. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. She is very knowledgeable, patient, friendly and can adapt her teaching to cater for each student.
Highly recommended.....2 more years until the next one!

Amazing. Had a lesson the day before and felt so so confident for my test! Achieved a pass with just 1 minor. The car was spotless.
I would highly recommend Toads School of Driving for anyone who needs a pass.
