About Louisa Housen - BSM Approved Driving Instructor

Hi! I'm a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor working with BSM.

I love my role as a driving instructor. Working with people on a 1-2-1 basis, imparting my knowledge and seeing their progression and development makes my job extremely rewarding.

I pride myself on being very calm, patient and I'm able to get on well with all types of people.

I'm passionate about driving, enabling people to learn what I feel is a life skill and safe driving for life.

I passed all my DVSA exams first time and undertook the final Part 3 exam without being on a pink badge (Provisional Driving Instructor) which was even more of an achievement as pass rates are relatively low.

I have had an enhanced DBS check (police check).

Key features:

- manual driving lessons
- support with the theory test (free of charge)
- refreshers lessons
- Pass Plus
- 'Parking Pro' lessons
- multi lane roundabouts
- 70mph dual carriageways
- rural roads
- night driving
- fun, safe and exciting driving lessons

I regularly sit in on driving tests, so I am able to offer realistic 'mock' tests to my pupils and explain exactly what will happen on test, hence my exceptionally high pass rates.

I cover North, West and Central London, Watford, Bushey and the surrounding areas.

Louisa is a great driving instructor! Not only is she knowledgable and patient, she is also very supportive and friendly and makes the experience of learning to drive enjoyable. I passed first time after lessons with Louisa and feel very strongly that I couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you Louisa, keep doing a great job!

We never actually got to the driving part since Louisa kept rescheduling with me. She would suggest a day to have the lesson and then text again only days before saying she was no longer free because one of her other students had booked a test that day. She didn't make me - a new learner driver and potential client - a priority, and it really disappoints me because of the great reviews she has. She rescheduled about four times and I thought it was very unfair so I am in the process of looking for someone else.
Response : Hi Marie/Claudia. Thanks for your feedback. If you remember the original date you booked online wasn't available due to a technical issue which was not within my control which I made you aware of immediately. I also made you aware at that point how busy my schedule is currently with lots of learners preparing/taking tests. We rescheduled and it was unfortunate I had to cancel (you were notified 13 days in advance) due to an existing learners test booking which has to take priority however you may recall I offered you an alternative, a week EARLIER than scheduled. I do my best to try and fit everyone in but I'm only human and there's only one of me. I wish you well on your quest to learn to drive. All the best.Moreexpand_more

I finally passed my test last month and I have to give all credit to Louisa! I had really struggled with learning to drive a couple of years ago and eventually gave up, but wanted to start lessons again when I moved back to London. I was very daunted by the thought of driving in the city, but gained a lot of confidence through my lessons with her. She is SO patient, so encouraging and always stays calm. I always really enjoyed my lessons, as Louisa is warm, fun and easy to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an instructor, she is fantastic.

Lousia has been amazing with everything, ranging from her great ability to teach and her depth of knowledge. She has been very patient with me and helped me excel at all levels, which has certainly made me a much more confident driver. I would recommend her to any individual, whether beginner or experienced, without hesitation. Thanks for all the help Lousia, I truly appreciate it - it has been great to learn with you!

Louise was an wonderful driving instructor, who taught me the skills I needed throughout my learning experience. I valued Louise's depth of experience, assertiveness and honesty with feedback, meaning I knew exactly where I was with my progression. Such an amazing teacher, and inspiring person. She did make me feel so motivated to carry on and pushed myself to belive more in myself. Such an excellent personal skills. I have recommended her to my friends and would definitely highly do this in the future.

A friend recommended Louisa to me and I’m so glad she did, Louisa is a great instructor! She always stayed calm, was patient and very supportive. She’s lovely and super easy to talk to, I always felt at ease in the car and enjoyed my lessons. I would one hundred percent recommend Louisa - I have already told all my friends who need an instructor about her!

I was so lucky to be assigned Louisa as my driving instructor. After a few lessons of coaching and teaching I was a lot more confident and knowledgeable on the roads. She is such a patient, calm person who made me feel completely at ease at all times and encouraged me to go on when things got difficult. Learning how to drive can be a daunting experience but it can be made a whole lot easier if you have the right instructor next to you. I passed my test a week ago and I wholehartedly recommend Louisa to other future drivers. She was also very accommodating to my availability and schedule. A perfect experience!

I highly recommend Louisa as a driving instructor. She is extremely patient and friendly, and kept me calm behind the wheel. She can explain how to complete manoeuvres a way thats easy for learners' to understand and can adapt her teaching to suit you. Thank you so much Louisa!

I will recommend Louisa as a driving instructor. She is calm and patient. She will take the time to explain things in order to improve the learner's driving skills. Furthermore, her sense of humour made the sessions even more enjoyable. I can honestly say that, without her, I will have been unable to pass my driving test (first time)! Thank you again Louisa.

Whilst I was learning I happened to be in a situation (based on my impatience) where I had more than one driving instructor. And what it really taught me was how important it is to find the right one. I only had another instructor for 2 lessons, due to schedule conflicts, but it made me so glad Louisa was my main full time instructor. Louisa does everything you would expect from a driving instructor, but does it with patience and care, and most importantly a smile. I never felt pressured yet we got the job done quickly and safely, and as a result I am now a safe and confident driver.

My journey to getting my license hasn't been easy. After a few nightmare experiences and months trying to find a new and better instructor, I came upon this site and was impressed with the reviews and hopeful I'd finally found the right instructor. Louisa was very patient and friendly. A true professional! The tips she gave me when dealing with the reverse around the corner manoeuvre gave me a better understanding than what I'd been taught before. By the end of the lesson the confidence I had lost was back and am sure, with Louisa's help, I will finally have my licence very soon.

Having not been on the road for several years, I booked a refresher lesson with Louisa to get back my confidence in driving again. The two hour lesson was great and I felt I was in very good hands and I felt relaxed behind the wheel in Louisa's care, despite driving in london! I'd recommend!

Louisa is a fantastic driving instructor, who I would recommend to anyone who is looking to learn to drive. I found Louisa extremely professional, and managed to explains everything in such a way that works for you as a learner. She has a great to make you feel completely at ease while learning, and has a very calm approach which makes it a lot more enjoyable. I am so happy with my progress, and cannot thank Louisa enough for helping me pass my driving test!

Louisa has been such a great instructor! She has really been able to put my anxieties about driving to ease and become a much more confident driver. She is reliable, professional and also has fantastic personality and attitude to teaching which is what makes the lessons so enjoyable. Louisa teaches the safest and most efficient techniques to driving and this makes things a lot easier. She is always calm and makes you feel comfortable throughout the lesson even if you make a massive mistake! I'm so glad I had Louisa as my instructor as I know definitely would not have passed with out her!
