Excel driving- Natalie

I couldn’t recommend Natalie anymore if I tried. I joined excel late after I was originally driving with someone else who knocked my confidence and made me hate driving. However even on my first lesson with her I felt so confident she was so lovely and really helped me to push myself to pass not so long after joining. Thank you so much for helping me achieve my goals. You’re amazing!!

I couldn't of asked for a better driving instructor than Natalie! I was terrified of learning to drive and she immediately made me feel safe and comfortable and I really looked forward to and enjoyed our lessons! She's a lovely person and a fabulous instructor!

Teach you to drive not just to pass your test!

I learnt to drive with Natalie at Excel Driver Training. She was really supportive and always made sure I felt comfortable. She was always confident in me and helped me push myself. My lessons were always enjoyable and constructive to help me get better and Excel use the Total Drive app which we used to track my progress and lessons which was helpful to reflect at the end of my lessons and keep track of when my lessons were. I passed first time and feel confident now driving alone. Natalie was also happy to practise some of the routes I would be doing most once I passed like going to college so I could feel confident after my test and not just for the test. Would definitely recommend!

Richard is a great driving instructor!

Richard is a great driving instructor!
He is very understanding and supportive. During my lessons he would always stay calm resulting in my growing confidence, he has taught me to enjoy driving rather than worrying about it. Lessons were always fun too.
I now feel confident on the roads after passing, thanks to Richard.

My experience learning to drive with Natalie

My experience learning to drive with Natalie at excel was extremely positive. I felt comfortable, encouraged and had opportunities to challenge myself whilst progressing at a pace I was happy with. I passed my test first time and would highly recommend.

Thank you Natalie

I cannot recommend Natalie enough as a driving instructor! She is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her students' success on the road.

From the very first lesson, Natalie made me feel at ease behind the wheel. She took the time to understand my level of driving experience and tailored each lesson to my specific needs. Her instruction was always clear and easy to follow, and she never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed for making mistakes.

What sets Natalie apart from other driving instructors is her ability to teach not just the mechanics of driving, but also the importance of defensive driving and situational awareness. She instilled in me a sense of confidence on the road that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I am so grateful for Natalie's guidance and support throughout my journey to obtaining my driver's license. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared for the road test, and I am happy to say that I passed on my first attempt!

If you are looking for a kind, patient, and skilled driving instructor, look no further than Natalie. She is the best of the best!

The best instructors

I passed my test with natalie in July 22, she was the best instructor. I had swapped instructors and my confidence was slightly down and natalie was brilliant, she got me passed first time within only a few lessons. I couldn’t recommend her enough😃

Cannot recommend highly enough

My son loved learning and then ultimately passing first time with the Excel Driver Training team. Richard was fantastic, and made every lesson enjoyable and relaxing. Communication and organisation is excellent, from booking lessons, flexibility around our timetable, and then the booking of the test. Great advice on how to get through the theory test too. It’s a 5 star business which I would not hesitate to recommend. Jo

My experience with Matt

I had Matt as an instructor and he was amazing. He was patient and always giving me feedback on certain things I was doing wrong, this allowed me to correct them so I didn’t get bad habits early doors. Matt was really down to earth and friendly so it allowed me to feel less pressure during the lessons which meant i could develop my driving more efficiently as I was more comfortable. I would without a doubt recommend Matt to everyone as he was a really good instructor but also a good person too.

Driving Lessons

Matt was a really great driving instructor who was very understanding and supportive which made for a great learning environment to start driving in. The lessons always had a good mix of driving and techniques like parking which resulted in me feeling completely confident in all areas to pass my driving test.

Just passed my test

Just passed my test, using Aiden as my instructor. I’m not sure what the rest of the instructors are like but I would advise a new learner to pick Aiden cause he prioritises you and your learning and wants you too do the best as you can but also stay safe. He allows you to progress at the rate that you like and doesn’t push you or hold you back when learning which could feel awkward for the learner. He puts in his input when needed and give great feedback.

I had Aneka as a driving instructor and she was brilliant! I was a very nervous driver when I first started my lessons but thanks to Aneka I passed my test first time. She is so patient and really helped me to understand what mistakes I made and how to fix them. I would recommend driving lessons with Aneka to anybody as she is a great teacher!
