Thanks to Sue I managed to pass my driving test first time. She is the best driving instructor, she has a great sense of humour and makes the lessons very enjoyable.
I think the reason I love driving soo much is because of Sue, she made me feel at ease at the wheel from my very first lesson. When I was worried about my driving test I felt that I could ring Sue and tell her. She had a lot of faith in me and in the fact that I could pass.
I will certainly be doing my PassPlus with Sue and I thoroughly recommend her to anyone who is about to take driving lessons or wants to change instructors.
Thank you again Sue!

I was with my previous driving instructor for a year. Even though I was ready to take my test, during the lessons he would still brake for me, and grab the steering wheel unnerving me. Most of my lessons would consist of driving down country roads, so I was very inexperienced with city driving.
My first lesson with Becki, she was relaxed, which helped me to stay calm and focused. We went to the city and as soon as Becki saw I was flustered and making more mistakes than usual, she pulled me into a car park, where I got out of the car to refresh my brain. When I got back in I was focused. She didn’t let me take my practical until I was ready, not just with the skills of driving, but with the confidence too. I still believe Becki is the reason I passed first time.

Learning to drive was something that I had been putting off for a long time as it was just something I had never got round to. So when I booked my lessons with Becky Hunter from Toad’s School of Driving I was feeling slightly apprehensive! However that apprehension disappeared as soon as I got in the car with Becky. Her relaxed approach made me feel at ease straight away and learning to drive suddenly didn’t seem as much of a daunting prospect! I thoroughly enjoyed my time learning to drive with Becky, we got on really well and I felt as if I learnt very quickly. The lessons were thorough and I felt as if I could learn at whatever pace suited me. When it came to my I was completely ready for it and new exactly what to expect and everything Becky taught me paid off as I passed first time! I would definitely recommend Becky and the Toad’s School of driving to anyone who wants to progress quickly with a really friendly female instructor. Thanks Becky!

I moved to Becki and Toad's School of Driving from another instructor and the difference was amazing. Becki is a very patient, friendly instructor and I immediately found it easy to talk to her and maintain a relaxed environment during the lesson.
This said, Becki is not too relaxed. She was always watching and aware of what was going on, calmly telling me if I was doing something wrong. By doing this, she makes it easier to learn from the mistake and develop skills. At the end of every lesson, Becki would take me through the marks she had given me throughout the lesson, explaining why and how I could improve on them.
Over a short period of time, my driving skills improved dramatically along with my confidence. I found it easy to talk to Becki and we often shared a joke; Becki has a great sense of humour and was never in a bad mood during any lessons.
I would heartily recommend Becki and Toad's School of Driving. Becki is an excellent driving instructor and her relaxed yet skilled approach is one that was perfect for me and various others. All paperwork is organised in a simple folder, meaning easy filing of the paperwork that comes with learning to drive.
The main reason I would choose Toad's School of Driving is not only the excellent instruction and brilliant organisation, but the personal and friendly approach of the instructors; something that is absent from most other driving schools.

Sue Papworth is one of the best driving instructors which you will find ANYWHERE!
Sue's sense of humor and friendly nature means that you feel relaxed and calm behind the wheel of the car which was essential to my success. Sue is not just a great instructor but also a great friend. If you’re finding lessons hard threes no better person to help you through it and get you back to safe and fun driving. Every lesson which I had with Sue was fun and enjoyable (with the help of the Cambridge nutters). If you pick Toads school of driving then you will get the chance to drive a Mini which is a great car to learn in. It allows you to drive care free due to all its amazing features. Due to Sue's second to none instruction I was able to PASS my test FIRST TIME with 1 minor. This was only because I had been taught to the highest level possible. I can now drive with confidence and be safe at the same time.
All I can say is thank you Sue for all your help and good luck in the future.

Where do i begin....... I met Sue the day i come back off of my holiday we clicked straight away infact i never quite realised how much of an impact on my life Sue would have, she feels like part of the family. If anyone is looking for a fantastic driving instuctor that is willing to do ANYTHING to get you to test then Sue is the one for you. I have had so much fun whilst learning with Sue infact i have been named Natalie Dustcart due to an incident with a Dustcart coming towards me, along with old men blowing kisses at us, a Subaru pulling out on us on a mini roundabout and the Prostitue on the staples roundabout, these are just a few things that happened to us on my lessons around Cambridge.

Sue has also become a very good friend to my mum and after i had a few failed tests they decided to get together and sort out a suprise driving test for me, this made a difference to my driving however i did panic when i woke up one morning to find Sue sat outside my house ready for a lesson at 7am! The only person that knew about it was my mum and Sue as i was SUPPOSED to be having a test at Cowley Road however there wasnʼt an examiner to take me out so i never took the test. I went through a period after my second test where i was going to give up however after many tears Sue pulled me through and made me a better driver for it. I would recommend doing a suprise test if you are a nervous person or go to pieces on test as it does honestly work. I never felt uncomfortable in the car with Sue as she was always calm and had the confidence in me to pass. All i need to say is Thankyou very much for all the support that you gave me throughout learning to drive. Will keep in touch. Lots of Love.
