Sophie is an incredible driving instructor she is very patient but thorough. She uses a variety of techniques to explain driving skills, and is very understanding if it takes you a little bit longer to learn than another person. I passed second time with Sophie and with only 2 minors and was overjoyed. I don't think there’s a single person that couldn't pass their test with Sophie and she likes a challenge!!

I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough, she is not only one of the best driving instructors around but also one of the nicest people you will ever have the pleasure to meet. Sophie not only teaches you how to drive, but prepares you for being on the road on your own, with time and passion for each pupil she has. Every lesson is such a joy that you look forward to being in a car with Sophie. We have had some fantastic lessons and Sophie helped me pass first time, even when it looked hopeless Sophie had the encouragement and patience to guide me through, thanks soph, I really am going to miss our lessons.

If you want to make sure you learn all the rules of the road, build up confidence in driving and excel in your driving text, then look no further than Sophie. She is extremely patient, and makes sure you're comfortable whilst maintaining a professional attitude. Any issues that I had whilst on the road, she would go the extra mile and go through these problems one by one. She is very road smart, and knows alot about the learning area, and of its tricky spots. I guarantee that if you follow her instructions and relax, you WILL pass first time as I did! Thank you Sophie! It'll be sad not having you sat next to me in the car anymore. I couldn't have passed without you :)

Message : i owe sophie hugely. such a patient encouraging driving instructor she is! i am lucky. not only did she help me muddle through driving lessons but she also supported me to pass first time. she, all the way till the very last minute before the test, was advising and directing me. sophie is humbly an understanding person and never made me feel embarrassed by my mistakes. i loved every minute i spent learning driving and will never forget the good times i had with sophie. bless sophie scott !

I want to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Sophie for teaching me! She is an amazing teacher, who helps you play to your strengths and helps to develop your weaknesses. I really struggled with driving, I got nervous at roundabouts and just struggled with emerging, but Sophie helped considerably – she just seemed to know where I went wrong, and could help to combat the problems I faced. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance that Sophie has given me, and although I am ecstatic that I have passed, I am also quite sad that I have to say goodbye. Thank you so so much!

After countless lessons (and even countless tests!) I have finally passed thanks to Sophie! She is extremely calm, patient, professional and very dedicated to her job and clients. I always felt completely at ease when I had lessons with her and not only was she a fantastic instuctor but very friendly and great to talk to. I would recommend her to anyone! It will be strange not having Sophie next to me in the car!! All the best for the future :) Thankyou for everything!

Before I start, I would like to say a big thankyou to sophie,as she went above and beyond her duty as my teacher. My nerves were my biggest problem and with various methods of trying to control them, I finally passed on third attempt. Thank goodness!. Sophie is very calming and professional and it was a pleasure to find her. She will have to put up with my stressing now on the pass plus.....Shame. Cheers Sophie x

it’s Stephanie Donaldson, sorry it’s taken me so long, exams and all that.
 
“i tried to learn at 17 but couldn’t find an instructor that suited me, and after spending far too much money i gave up. At nearly 22 i decided to try again, Sophie was the perfect choice she’s calm, but instructive, she helps you learn for yourself rather than just telling what to do, as she see’s you improve she takes a step back to let you prove to yourself that you can do it, she’s a good confidence builder and a great motivator. you also know that she’s being straight with you, she’s not just after your money she cares about her clients and waves to many when she see’s them driving around, including me! A sign of a good driving instructor is that you can hear them in your head even when they’re not in the car! i passed three months ago but i can still hear Sophie! i passed both my theory and my practical first time (with only one minor!) and don’t think i could have done this without Sophie's steering hand helping me through.”

Sophie is a brilliant instructor, she is calm and easy going, her teaching skills are fantastic, her patience and friendly approach is what makes her a excellent teacher.
I would definitely recommend Sophie as an instructor for anyone wanting to learn to drive. Not only has Sophie been a driving instructor she has also been a great friend.

Having tried many different driving instructors, I finally came across Sophie Scott. What can I say...

With her calming and friendly personality, Sophie instantly put me at ease.

She has incredible passion for what she teaches and this comes across as soon as you meet her. Although lesson’s are always packed with information (with the use of all her teaching aids!), Sophie’s enthusiasm and knowledge for what she teaches and her patience with students are second to none.

I would not hesitate to recommend Sophie as the first class driving instructor that she is, and I wish her all the success for the future that she truly deserves.

Passed 1st Time

I put off learning to drive for 10 years. I then made the decision to start learning and pass my test! Sophie was fantastic,she could see how apprehensive I was, and low in confidence and she went out of her way to help me in anyway she could. I passed first time with 1 minor!! All thanks to the hard work and effort of my fantastic instructor Sophie.

"I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough as a driving instructor. Her excellent teaching ability comes from two attributes. Firstly, she is
technically excellent. Her knowledge and skills are second to none,and she uses a variety of techniques to get the most out of her pupils. She maintains her knowledge and keeps up to date with
developments in the driving instructor community. Secondly, Sophie has the right personality and attitude for the job. She is constructively
critical where necessary, calm and encouraging. She is also great fun to talk to due to her friendly nature. I have had experience of
learning with five driving instructors, and not only is Sophie the instructor with whom I passed, but she was the most helpful overall.
Whenever I get into my car to drive, I remember the learning I had with Sophie and I am grateful to have had her instruction."

Sophie is an amazing teacher - patient, friendly, reassuring and helpful...just what you want from a driving instructor. As a result of sophie's approach and skills I learnt to a high standard very quickly. She is definitely the one to choose, I recommend her to everyone!!
