What Our Student’s Say About Us
Great driving school would recommend to anyone
Having written off a car the second time I practised driving, I came to Ed at Drive Hart, with little confidence after a number of lessons with other instructors. Ed is a brilliant teacher, so thorough, calm and friendly, and boosted my confidence to the point where I passed my driving test first time today! I would highly recommend Drive Hart for anyone I know looking for a driving instructor
I am a young student who was very determined to pass my test and I couldn’t thank anyone more than Ed Rose for doing so. What an absolute character, incredibly friendly and a brilliant instructor. I would definitely recommend Ed as he is very patient with your learning and he drives you to achieve your goal.
My son has just passed first time with Steve as his instructor. Highly recommended you guys are brilliant. After being ripped off by another local instructor I called Sarah and immediately she listened and sorted out some driving lessons with Steve. I really would not recommend anyone else. These guys are amazing, honest and trustworthy.
I would recommend drive Hart 100% great driving school
Passed my driving test today with Ed Rose. Decent instructor, definitely recommended this guy if you want to pass your driving test!
Sarah was fantastic! I passed my test the first time thanks to Sarah. She was incredibly patient and makes you feel comfortable in the driver's seat. She knows what she's doing and is very experienced. I highly recommend Sarah!!
Sarah is fantastic! She is really patient and helpful. She cares more about making you a great driver than doing the bare minimum to pass. I would not have been able to pass first time without her. Thank you Sarah!
Sarah's fantastic - ever patient, never panicked, and incredibly competent. She's taken me from not being able to change gear to passing first time; I can't recommend her highly enough
Sarah is an expertly competent teacher, throughout my time with her I was made to feel completely comfortable and perfectly safe at all times. She wastes no time in building your confidence and understanding through her delivery and patience across all topics. You will be made to feel fully equipped for your test, all due to the brilliant quality of her teaching. Thank you, Sarah, it has been an absolute pleasure and you have been invaluable to me passing, I couldn't have passed as soon as I have without you.
Sarah is a great driving instructor. She is always patient and supportive which helped me to become a more confident and able driver. I’m sure without her my first time pass would not have been possible.
Delighted to have passed first time under Sarah's careful, comfortable and stress-free instruction. Would recommend her 100% to anyone else in the area, thanks very much for all the great help!
The best driving instructor around! Hilarious and professional! X
Brilliant instructor. Gave my son so much confidence and was very knowledgeable and verbal with her instruction. Would genuinely recommend.
Superb! If your plan is to pass first time in spectacular fashion with great and patient instruction, whilst having a good time doing it, then this is the place to be!
An amazing driving instructor, providing the full experience for anyone wishing to drive! I passed only with 2 minors and loved every second of my lessons. Wishing all the best to Sarah and the team.
Absolutely fantastic - a good teacher, informative, and pretty funny to boot!
I had 8 hours of lessons with Sarah as she very kindly took me on as a student 3 weeks before my driving test. Those 8 hours were the best hours i had behind a wheel in-terms of learning experience's (driving techniques for parking and roundabouts) and actually enjoying driving. I passed my test with 4 minors :D. I could not ask for better instructor!
What a brilliant experience I have had learning to drive with Sarah! She defiantly cares a lot about you and learning to drive. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Sarah
Absolutely amazing teacher and helped me so much!! I passed today and I'm so pleased! Thankyou Sarah
Passed first time today. Wouldn’t have done this without Sarah - her patient, calm approach is just brilliant, and the techniques her school teaches are super effective. I can’t recommend the Sarah Hart Driving School highly enough. Thank you so much!
Fantastic instructor, great sense of humour and really knows her stuff. Always found a way to help me understand and remember anything I struggled with.
Sarah is an amazing teacher who without i doubt i would have passed my driving test anywhere nearly as quickly as i did, but also due to the fantastic patience she has, allowed me to pass first time, and she manages to do all of this whilst staying as one of the friendliest people I know!
A fantastic instructor I'd recommend to everyone. Sarah made learning to drive such an enjoyable experience: always patient and great fun. Thanks so much!
What an amazingly patient woman you are Sarah! I never thought I'd get there... but I did! It's all thanks to you! I will miss my weekly 2 hour potter about on a Wednesday! Wednesdays just won't be the same! Missing it already! Thank you!
Sarah is amazing! After a previous bad experience with another instructor, I was quite nervous for my first lesson, but Sarah is the type of person who can make you feel relaxed instantly. She has been an excellent teacher, and helped me pass my practical test first time and with only one minor. She also has a great sense of humour, which makes the whole experience of learning to drive a lot more fun. I'd recommend Sarah to absolutely everyone! She's the best!
Sarah is a fantastic driving instructor - she’s patient, kind and encouraging. When I started my lessons with her, I was an extremely nervous driver but she helped me grow my confidence and she taught me everything I needed to know to pass my test first time. I would definitely recommend Sarah as a driving instructor!
Sarah kindly inherited me from another instructor and got me back on my feet with driving! Thanks to Sarah I passed within a few months with only 5 minors. Amazing instructor
Yes, 10/10. Sarah is always stretching my driving skills in lessons and is always easy to communicate with when planning for rearranging lessons etc.
Sarah is a fantastic driving instructor! She prepares you so well for the test and I’ve had a lot of fun with her in my lessons. I could not recommend her highly enough! A massive thanks.
I had 8 hours of lessons with Sarah as she very kindly took me on as a student 3 weeks before my driving test. Those 8 hours were the best hours i had behind a wheel in-terms of learning experience's (driving techniques for parking and roundabouts) and actually enjoying driving.I passed my test with 4 minors.

Incredibly grateful to Sarah for getting me behind the wheel, I could happily recommend her to anyone and everyone who is willing to listen.
I am very happy and by very... I mean extremely happy with Sarah Hart for helping me pass my test first time today!! I really cant recommend her enough to anyone who is wanting to learn how to drive. Her calm and friendly personality put me at ease straight away and she is brilliant at what she does. Thank you very much again Sarah you are a star!
A fantastic instructor I'd recommend to everyone. Sarah made learning to drive such an enjoyable experience: always patient and great fun. Thanks so much!
Sarah is a brilliant instructor. I couldn't have felt better prepared for my test or to begin driving on my own. Her method of teaching is calm and therefore made learning to drive stress-free. Especially just before my test I had reassurance in knowing that having been taught by Sarah, I was completely ready and likely to pass first time! I did, and the vast number of students who also pass first time shows the quality of teaching. I'd recommend to anyone :))
