MSM (Mel's School of Motoring)

Unfortunately, Mel was NOT my first driving instructor. I found my first driving instructor just after turning 17 and I was simply not satisfied with him. I quit after about three/four hours of lessons and left driving completely. Almost a year afterwards, I found Mel. As anyone can see, I can be very picky and hard to please when it comes to instructors; which I think is fair when you're committing yourself to learning to drive. Having had a driving instructor before, I was able to compare Mel with my previous experience. There was no contest. Mel was miles better (if you excuse the pun). She took time to explain everything and kept notes of each lesson. She was able to quickly identify any weaknesses and with the help of her notes, we tackled my driving effectively and efficiently. I get nervous easily in tense situations such as a driving exam, yet Mel allowed my driving to reach a point where I felt confident and could drive safely despite the tension. I passed first time. I seriously recommend Mel to anyone who wants to learn to drive. As she says, she will leave no stone unturned.

Since i turned 17 all I had wanted to do was drive. I failed 2 tests and eventually gave up! Since moving to kingston and turning 21 I decided enough was enough and put my head back to drving. I found mel through this website and she saw where i had been going wrong. She taught me to be a confident and safe driver. I passed my test a week ago in rush hour morning traffic in tolworth! And only two minors!Still cant stop smiling! I really couldnt of done it with out mel.Not only is she a great instructor she has become a great friend too!looking forward to doing my pass plus with her! I would completley recommend Mel's School Of Motoring to anyone who wants to learn to drive and pass with flying colours!! Thanks mel!

Being middle-aged (but not looking it) and having made several previous attempts to pass the driving test, I came across the first two reviews below. Subsequently with remedial work and guidance from Mel I passed my driving test with only two minor faults. Mel thank you so much for your support and tuition.

I passed my test a month ago having signed up with Mel's school of Motoring earlier last year. I too passed first time on a Monday morning rush hour and went away with the confidence to drive about 1500 miles over Christmas on all types of road in all conditions. I gained this confidence from Mel's style of teaching - she is both experienced and patient. In putting you into 'real world' situations rather than doing the same lap every lesson she gives you the road sense that you'll need to pass both the practical and theory tests. Mel is also a harsh marker in the mock tests which brings you up to the level you need to pass first time. Nothing in my real test surprised me and that was due to Mel's knowledge and experience of what the examiners are looking for and the various routes they may take you! I would not hesitate in recommending Mel's School of Motoring for anybody who wants to both pass first time and be a confident and safe driver.

I had failed my test a number of times before I signed up with Mel's School of Motoring. She quickly saw where I had been going wrong, and was able to fix all of the errors that were causing me problems. My confidence was slowly restored and I was quickly back to test standard. With pass rates going down and tests seemingly getting harder, it is essential that you have an instructor who knows what the examiners expect, and corrects problems as soon as they see them. Mel's knowledge and professionalism enables her to carry this out with her students. Now I have passed I laugh in the face of the Tolworth roundabout, and could reverse around a corner with my eyes closed. (although I don't, of course). I recommend Mel to new learners who want to pass quickly without wasting too much time and money on failing - and those who have failed a number of times and need to get back on track. Feel free to Email me to verify my review. brightonalex@hotmail.com and good luck with your test!
