Sue is a fantastic driving instructor. She is fair but firm and leaves both pupil and parent confident. Sue takes the time to explain any areas that need more practice. I would definitely recommend her.

Sue is an incredible teacher. After having over 30hrs of lessons with another driving instructor I was still a bag of nerves and didn’t feel at all confident behind the wheel and failing a test I was at rock bottom and about to give up on the idea of driving but someone suggested to give Toad a ring.
It was the best decision I could have made the driving lessons are night and day compared to my previous instructor and I wished my first experience of driving was with Sue, straight away she put me at ease and opened up a dialogue where I could explain my fears and bits that scared me on the road. Sue was understanding and began to break down all my fears bit by bit so as not to overwhelm me but to build me up.
Sue is innovative in her technique and really crafts her lessons to help you progress we have gone on foot to walk around difficult junctions to get a better look from different angles and understanding the flow of traffic. My favourite so far has been her sound machine that gives you a sound effect to keep you on track with how well you're doing on observations and it sounds nutty but it really works and its fun.

I can’t thank Sue enough for all the help she gave me to pass my trailer test. I was so nervous about messing up but she gave me the skills and knowledge to help me keep calm. Sue is so patient and really good at explaining how to do something in different ways. Most places do intensive courses with the training one day and test the next, sue doesn’t do it this way and I can see why, It would be too much pressure and after a few hours of driving I was knackered. It helped having time between training and the test to process everything I had learnt. I took the test in Leighton buzzard, which initially I was nervous about because I didn’t know the area but it actually helps to not know the routes as it helped my concentrate more. I would highly recommend sue as an instructor, I couldn’t of passed first time without her

I recommend Sue Papworth from toads Driving school because when I first came to Sue I was so nervous and scared of Driving didn’t take her long to change my views on Driving and make me the confident Driver I am today she makes you feel at ease when Driving and really cares about every individual she teachers! I had Sue in the car for my test which made me feel a little more at ease just knowing she is there helps a lot!

We can’t thank Sue enough, her calm and friendly approach put our daughter Georgia at ease from day 1 of her driving lessons. Not only did Sue take Georgia all around Cambridge, she also took her to Hunstanton with another learner, one drove there and the other back, with lunch by the sea, it was a lovely day out and great opportunity to drive a further distance than usual. We’re so please to say, thanks to Sue, Georgia passed her test first time and we’re so grateful for her help and fantastic teaching.

Had Sue teaching me to drive and managed to pass first time. Couldn't have asked for a better teacher, she was always patient and went at whatever speed I felt comfortable with. Made me a very responsible driver.

Friendly and experienced instructors that know how to prepare learners for real world driving in a way that is best for them. All round very positive experience and feel confident on the road due to their lessons. Helped me pass first time and have helped many others to do the same.

I can’t thank Ben enough for his patience and kindness in teaching me how to drive. He always went above and beyond in organising lessons (even when he had a tight schedule) and was flexible with meeting points and lesson times. I was quite a nervous driver to begin with but Ben really helped improve my confidence and was always calm whenever I made mistakes, even in stressful and challenging situations. I am so grateful for all of the time and effort he put into helping me learn to drive, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Toad is a fab driving school! I highly recommend it. Sue has equipped me with life lessons I can apply to the road and has calmly helped me to understand what it means to be a good driver.

What a great instructor! If you taking the time to read the reviews then you should take the pass rate as proof. I did 4 hours of lessons on a Sunday and had a test the following Wednesday. Passed with only 4 minors!! Credit to Sue Papworth. Would recommend anyone who needs B+E to book up.

Having passed my theory and practical test, both first time, I can assure you that Toad Driving School will get you through whatever test you intend on passing. Sue was my driving instructor and she did an amazing job at teaching me to drive. Most driving schools tend to be a factory of putting you through test routes until you pass. However, Sue got me out onto the country roads and into more difficult situations than just the initial test routes. Here we saw no other learners apart from us, which is amazing to see considering not everyone will jut be driving in Cambridge doing constant tests routes. From doing this, I feel like a much more confident and safer driver on the difficult country roads which I drive on frequently. In addition, the lessons were really enjoyable whilst also being very informative. I picked up quite a few bad habits whilst learning to drive but Sue identified these and nagged me until I made sure I wasn't doing them at all. This made me become the best driver possible and I'm certain this driving school will do the same to anyone else willing to learn this technical skill.
