Doesn't drive too well though
Mel may be a good teacher, but he/she hogs the right hand lane and refuses to move left when they should, even dabs the brakes. Back to driving school mel. Maybe someone else was driving mel's car.

Mel is extremely calm and lovely to be around and talk to, I feel like Mel has not only been a fantastic instructor for me, but she has also become my friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Strongly recommended
Melissa is an excellent driving instructor and I would strongly recommend her to anyone thinking about taking lessons. She is extremely good at her job. She is hugely reliable and remained calm and encouraging even when I stalled in the middle of a massive roundabout. I felt very well prepared for my test and passed first time.

A miracle driving instructor!
I found out about Mel through a colleague at work and I am so glad I did. I failed 3 driving tests almost 20 years ago and was so put off, I hadn't taken another lesson since. Now in my mid-40's I decided it was 'now or never' and so contacted Mel. Although I was very nervous and made a lot of mistakes, she was very patient. She was also good about fitting round my work commitments and was fine if I had to cancel. I passed after about 9 months of lessons when I honestly didn't think I would ever get my license. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Fantabulous Instructor!!!!!
I was really nervous when I first started driving lessons with Mel. However Mel was patient, calm, and understanding towards me and managed to build up my confidence over time. Mel believed in my driving abilities more than I did, and I passed my test first time! Mel is a very reliable, enthusiastic and flexible driving instructor. I found one hour lessons to short, but two hour lessons too draining, so we decided on an hour and a half sessions, which suited me perfectly. Some instructors wouldn't allow this, but Mel did as she has a very easy-going attitude. Also the Honda Jazz is smooth to drive and lovely to learn in. Thank you so much for your help and support Mel. It is much appreciated!

Pick Mel!
I honestly felt before my first lesson as though I was never going to succeed with passing my driving test! However, Mel knows how to deal with people who are nervous and with encouragement, I achieved my pass much easier than I imagined. She's understanding and has not only got me to pass my test, but has made me an informed and safe driver. One of the best value for prices and very easy-going with lesson times. She couldn't have helped me anymore! Confident? Nervous? She's for you either way! R. Tyler-Squires

awesome instructor!
Mel is like the porsche cayenne of driving instructors. She encouraged me to think positively and I passed the first time even though I never thought I would. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.

Super Duper Driving Instructor!
Mel is one of the most understanding and down to earth instructors i've met so far! She is always calm, and knows how to make even the most nervous of students feel relaxed and at ease, helping to boost your confidence quickly! She's also great at encouraging one to believe in oneself and really go for it! Mels car is very smooth to drive and gear change is easy to manage! I would deffinately give Mel a 10/10! Thank you Mel! :) Go MEL!
