Cathedral School of Motoring

Amanda was patient, knowledgeable, flexible, kind and supportive. I already had more than 10 years of driving experience in the US, but she helped me become a better driver and pass the UK driving test the first time. She always had an answer for any question I might have related to driving in the UK and provided accurate feedback on how I could improve. Definitely recommend!

Amanda took me on at short notice, and was very patient and understanding considering my past experiences with driving not having gone well. She was flexible, affordable and made me feel like I was learning to drive, not just passing a test. I was incredibly anxious and she put me at ease and has made me a confident driver who passed first time with her. I would highly recommend her anyone to anyone learning to drive. I am so grateful to Amanda and cannot recommend her enough.

I started learning with Amanda early this year, with covid-19 and many lockdowns and restriction we was still able to push through and put the time in to pass first time, from the very start she made such a fun and professional experience. Very flexible with times which was good for me since I was at university, Amanda was able to teach me everything about driving in very little time which is what I liked it gave me the ability to get passed as quick as possible. On a final note she seems very cool headed and for people who need more time to learn and catch on she willing to go the extra mile so that you feel safe driving on your own.

Started learning with Amanda at the start of June 2019 and passed first time confidently by December 2019! Amanda is an excellent driving instructor who is very clear with instruction and ensures to match up your practical learning with theory- this is extremely useful. Amanda monitored all of my progress, fitting in extra lessons when she thought I needed extra practice and booked my test when she thought I was ready. All of this really helped my confidence as a driver and allowed my to focus easily without pressure or worry. During my test Amanda sat in the car with me (requested by myself) which again helped me to relax and feel more at ease. Overall as a new young driver, I feel confident and safe on the roads thanks to Amanda's help, support and guidance. The value for money, service and quality is excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone who may be nervous about learning to driving.

I had previously had a bad instructor and was recommended Amanda by someone who had just passed with her and someone who passed 5 weeks after my first lesson with her. She was supportive and encouraging from the very start, telling me she was only going to take me on if I passed my theory test. This is the kind of encouragement you need when you are wanting to pass your driving test. My previous instructor was clearly in it for the money as I can see a massive difference between her and Amanda. Amanda would always work around me even if she had a busy schedule. I couldn't recommend her enough. I already have one of my friend's taking lessons and another is waiting for her first lesson due to my recommendation. It only took me 7 months with missed lessons in between due to my own illness/holidays etc. And I passed with 3 minors. Thank you so much Amanda :).

Amanda is one of the most lovely people I have ever met. From the get go she made me feel so comfortable and confident in the car. She really pushed me to get my theory done and as soon as I passed she got me ready for my practical. She puts in a lot of time and effort with each learner and really focuses on what you're less confident with. I passed my test within 8 months, passing my theory first time and practical second time, money well spent!

Driving was not something that came very naturally to me but Amanda was very patient and I am happy to say that I passed first time. I felt that Amanda also showed me the importance of being a good driver, not just how to pass my test.

Fantastic, professional service with a calm and friendly atmosphere. Passed first time with excellent results all thanks to some wonderful instruction. Fits nicely around other commitments too. Would definitely recommend.

Very patient and so nice,good communication, highly recommended.

Amanda is very very patient. English is not my first language. She could explain everything in simple terms to make herself fully understood. The driving skills and the knowledge of car I learnt from her are very useful and professional. She helped me pass the test on the first attempt. I really appreciate being taught by such a good instructor!

Amanda was a very professional driving instructor. I had never driven before and so I was very nervous at first, but she was always very encouraging and gave me the confidence to pass my test first time. She explained everything so that I had a thorough understanding and was always very patient and calm throughout my lessons. She was also very understanding of the hours I was available due to the location of my job and would always let me book either evening or weekend lessons. I really would recommend her to anyone learning to drive.

Amanda was a fantastic instructor who not only taught me how to drive well, but gave me confidence on the road. She was also very accommodating when it came to arranging lesson times, as I had to work around my timetable for University. I passed after only three months of lessons, and would recommend her to anyone.

Amanda is an amazing driving instructor. I had failed two driving tests before starting lessons with her and she changed my whole outlook of driving. Instead of aiming to pass your test her aim is to make you into a good driver. She explained the importance and reasoning behind all the things I had learned to do but was doing only because I knew the examiner would be looking for them, not for safety reasons. She taught me many tips and tricks to improve my drive and make me as safe a driver as I could be. I can't imagine anyone being a better driving instructor than Amanda. Needless to say, I passed first time after having Amanda as an instructor.

Driving lessons carried out by Amanda were fantastic. Professional service with a friendly, calm atmosphere. Great value for money and the schedule fits nicely around other commitments. Extremely patient and courteous. Passed first time yesterday with great results, will definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thank you.

In spite of my difficulties in English language and the period with a lot of events (removal abroad, birth of my son. ) I passed my test first time! I did it thanks to Amanda's patience, professionalism, exceptional methods of teaching. Amanda is highly experienced, very good, friendly instructor, thanks to her I become confident on the road, in England, and as well as now in France. I would definetely recomend this brillant instructor. Thank you, Amanda!

I changed from a previous driving instructor to Amanda, it was the best move I made. She made me feel comfortable and made me believe in myself. She is very methodical and explains things in a easy to understand way, so that you are aware why you should do things in a certain way. She is very patient and flexible with lessons, and it must have paid as I passed first time, quicker than I had hoped. I would definitely recommend Amanda to anybody.

Amanda is a great instructor, I wanted to pass as quickly as possible and she helped me to achieve that goal. Not only is she highly experienced and professional, but she is also very friendly (which is pretty important as you spend a lot of time with your instructor! ) Amanda is incredibly patient and ensures you learn to drive to the best of your ability. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to start learning to drive.

Amanda was a brilliant, calm and professional instructor – helped me pass first time! Had a fantastic structured approach to teaching which was always clear and everything was explained in a memorable way. Amanda’s patience enabled me to relax and become confident behind the wheel. She was also flexible with lesson times and always managed to fit my lessons in around my university hours in Loughborough.

Passed my driving test first time this morning! Only started my lessons two and half months ago. Amanda gave me all the confidence I needed. Very patient, explains everything so well and fits you in for as many hours as you would like! Would recommend her to anyone would asks!

Amanda is an amazing instructor. She was very calm and patient with me and gave me the confidence that I needed on the road. She explained everything very clearly and answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely recommend her!
