I recently passed my driving test after having bad experiences with my previous driving instructor and being recommended to Sue. My previous instructor was cheaper which is why I originally chose him, however, the price showed. He didn't teach me to drive safely, simply just to control the car and in 40 lessons he hadn't picked up something so simple which was affecting my driving; I was using my leg to control the clutch rather than my foot/ankle (Sue picked this up within a minute of my first lesson and I immediately found it easier to find the biting point). There were so many things which I had not been taught for example, bay parking as it wouldn't be at the test centre, however, I would need this when I passed my test; basically he taught me to control a car and not drive safely and confidently. I had 40 lessons with my previous instructor and 4 tests which I failed due to being so unconfident and not knowing how to drive safely. I was ready to give up thinking that I couldn't drive when Sue was recommended to me, I thought this is my last try. I had 3 double lessons with Sue and passed my test with only 2 minors. On my first lesson with Sue it was clear that I was only looking at what was directly in front of the car and not far ahead, which is why I was so unconfident being in the new area as I was originally learning in a different area and didn't know what was coming up. I began to talk out loud, saying the things I could see ahead, this made me aware of the things coming up and where I should be looking. Sue also drove at one point so that I was able to not worry about controlling the car and simply look ahead; this really helped me to gain a wider understanding. Sue was so calm, understanding, put me at ease and knew the best ways to teach me to drive safely not just control the car. Sue is worth the extra money which if I was to add up the amount for my tests and car hire with my previous instructor I would have paid a lot more in the long run. For people taking the test soon, it is very nerve racking which is to be expected, however, I didn't think of it as a test and simply that Sue had a sore throat so couldn't talk so another instructor was taking my lesson with Sue in the back who had told them previously that I could drive with no help so to just give me instructions. This really helped to keep me calm and Sue was able to put me at ease and keep as calm as possible. I am so grateful for everything Sue has done for me; bringing up my confidence and teaching me to drive safely. After 2 weeks of driving I still think of Sue when I get worried – if you worry chicken out, if you go wrong don’t panic just correct it and look far enough ahead to know what is coming up or happening ahead.
Thank you Sue for being an amazing driving instructor, my family cannot believe how much my confidence has grown towards driving.

I learnt and passed my trailer test first time with Sue. It took a long time, patience, encouragement and practice for me to feel confident enough to be booked up for my test, let alone take it!! To this day I would not have been close to passing this test if it was not for the Toads. The support they offered was superb and I would recommend them to anyone, especially people who suffer with confidence with a trailer. I was doing reversing on my first lesson which I was convinced was not possible!! The patience and calm approach was perfect. Such a great team who always smiled !

Toads School of Driving were brilliant. Sue helped me pass my B+E trailer test, but more importantly gave me the skills and confidence to tow my horse safely! I would highly recommend Toads School for anyone looking to learn to drive or tow and also have some fun along the way.' Claire

I absolutely cherished my lessons with Sue Papworth! She, unlike some instructors, teaches you how to drive - not how to pass the test! I passed my theory and practical first time under her guidance and have now been driving safely and happily alone for almost 2 months, it's lovely to feel comfortable in a car and I feel safe with my own driving and because I was taught how to drive, I feel confident venturing into unknown places. I also experienced a lesson with Nicola, another Toad driver, and experienced the exact same standard of tuition. Overall my experience with Toad was excellent and I have already recommended them to my friends who also wish to learn to drive successfully.

Well what can I say? Sue and her team are simply the best instructors out there!! I was low on confidence because of a previous instructor and having failed my first test was in a rut. Sue said we will have you passed in no time and with confidence restored that`s exactly what happened! Thank you so so much!! From Charlie Cruickshank X

There will be one thing that i will never regret and that will be taking driving lessons with Toad's School of Driving! Sue's lessons are thoroughly taught and far by the most enjoyable lessons of my week! She's always calm and will teach you a lot of the time without even realising you are being taught! Absolutely amazing women and a wonderful teacher and cannot recommend her enough!! Will definitely miss her voice when i get my own car! x

I have driven in India but needed to get used to the UK roads before applying for a license here. Having read positive reviews about Sue, I initially contacted her but due to lack of availability, she recommended Louise. I cannot be more pleased she did. From the start Louise had a very relaxed approach yet she got me over the pass line in first attempt with minimum lessons. Louise is methodical and a lovely company. I actually miss our lessons. I cannot recommend her enough.

I recently undertook some refresher lessons with Toad's School of Driving after many years of not being behind the wheel. Louise, my instructor, was understanding, kind and very patient. The pace of the refresher course and the number of hours was mutually agreed, and I surprised myself in how quickly Louise made me feel comfortable to drive again. I would highly recommend Toad's whether you are a qualified driver in need of some confidence-building, or a learner driver looking to get on the road safely and efficiently.

I needed to do my trailer test (B+E) and was recommended SUE at Toad's School Of Driving. I can not fault the whole experience, she assessed my driving and only charged me for the minimum time I needed. The instruction I received was excellent and I felt perfectly prepared for my test. Could not recommend higher! Would recommend to anyone at any level to give her a try.

Passed with 1 minor. Sue's team of instructors are fabulous and dedicated to their pupils. If it was not for Sue I would have given up.

Passed my trailer test today. I feel more confident with my driving having been taught to tow rather than just pass the test.

Sue was fantastic, relaxed and confident in her ability to explain the mystery of reversing. After a bad experience with my previous instructor I could not believe how easy Sue made it!
