My daughter has just passed her driving test for the first time following teaching & guidance from Nina. My daughter always felt comfortable during the lessons & made good steady progress. Organising lessons & communication with Nina was always very clear & straightforward & Nina was particularly supportive in offering extra lessons in the last few weeks as my daughter approached her test. I hope my son will also be able to take his lessons with the Elle Driving School. Highly recommended. Read Less

Nina is an excellent teacher. Not only does she communicate and teach well, she is also encouraging, patient and friendly. Her lessons are of a high standard and she is very professional. I was a complete novice when I started and can't thank her enough for teaching me and for instilling confidence in me to drive. Read Less

You must learn with Nina. She is the best driving instructor out there (and I’ve had three!). I am thrilled to have passed my test with Nina’s help, driving her new Kia which is very smooth and easy. I now feel like a very safe and competent driver. She is not patronising or argumentative, she makes sure you understand everything and does not waste your time or money. Efficient and kind. She knows the area really well. Can’t recommend her enough. Read Less

Nina was supportive and patient throughout my course of learning to drive. I would definitely recommend, I passed my practical test first time with only three minors.

I can't recommend Nina at Elle Driving school highly enough. I was very nervous and suffered from a little anxiety about driving, but Nina put me completely at ease. She did this without being even slightly patronising or condescending, in fact, she gets straight to the point of why you're struggling with certain things and breaks down exactly what you need to do to get it right. If you make the mistake again she asks 'why do we think that went wrong?' or 'what do you think we should have done in that scenario', which makes you really think through everything you're doing and creates good habits, rather than berating you for doing it wrong, which is what I experienced in the past with a previous instructor! She also put me at ease with the road in general, which I'd found quite scary previously, she made me realise that all the external things in driving you may be worrying about aren't a concern as long as you are focused on being a safe driver and are aware of your surroundings, don't let other bad drivers or road ragers put you off! Driving really shouldn't be that scary! My previous instructor made me feel very inadequate and always encouraged more lessons and I spent a small fortune with him. He enforced my fear of driving rather than helped it, and with him, I failed my test and resigned myself to the fact I might just be one of those people who 'aren't supposed to drive'. When I took the decision to contact Nina based on other reviews, she helped me overcome my anxiety about driving very quickly and easily and she went out of her way to accommodate some specific requests that I had and got me passed in the very small time frame that I'd given myself, as I didn't want to drag out the process any longer than I had to based on my last experience! If you are nervous about driving, Nina is your instructor, but equally if you are very confident, even better, she really knows her stuff and will get you passed in no time! Read Less

I booked lessons with nina after not having some for many years she was lovely and made me feel calm and at ease with the whole process , I however decided to switch to automatic which nina fully supported and was very understanding with my choices. I would totally recommend nina to anyone who is looking for lessons and would defiantly return to nina if I wanted to do my manual at a later stage. Read Less

I found learning to drive very difficult due to my own learning difficulties - but Nina's patience, support, professionalism and warmth really was something special. She seems to have a way of working with even the hardest of pupils! I gained so much confidence and am incredibly pleased to have passed! Nina helped me to really focus and believe in myself and there is no way I could have done it without her right behind me. I recommend her to everyone! Read Less
