Karen has been an amazing and patient teacher. Perhaps being, ahem, a few years older her core clientele, I have seriously appreciated her support and understanding around the juggle of learning to drive alongside a full time job and two young kids. 

 

Karen inspires confidence. She always went at my pace and focussed on safety - obviously even more in the fore front of your mind when you’re going to be driving your kids around. But balanced this with ensuring we were making good progress and I wasn’t staying in my comfort zone. Karen has a clear way of explaining things and made lessons enjoyable and fun. Helen - February 2024

 

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thank you Karen!

Congratulations Helen for passing your driving test.  See you on the road - safe driving. February 2024

Karen is the best driving instructor I’ve ever heard of who came highly recommended to me and I can now highly recommended her myself to anyone wanting to start driving. She’s patient, kind and easy going. When giving instructions they’re clear and talked through, I’ve never felt more confident in my life with making decisions. Her lessons are stress free and calming, it feels more like driving with your friend than an instructor. Thanks to her I passed first time with no anxiety and am excited to be on the road. She always goes above and beyond and never gives up and believes in you. Thank you karen. Hope to see you round cowler:)  Lilah - January 2024

Refresher Lesson for Senior Citizen

Increased traffic, road conditions and changing to a different car motivated me to book a driving lesson.

I wanted to practice reversing, entering a fast road from slip road, roundabouts and queries specific to the new car. All these topics were covered in the 90 minute lesson.

Hints on reversing were a revelation to me as hadn’t even realised the car wheels should be straight in preparation to reverse!

The correct use of gears was useful as found I was over the speed limit on the Boars Hill Road. Karen advised a lower gear to make me more aware of speed and also to listen to the car sound. I had never heard of block change which is useful.

Like many older drivers I probably drive too slowly causing frustration to others so we practised entering the A34 from a slip-road and maintaining an appropriate speed.

I would recommend Karen for her calm, reassuring manner and professional teaching skills,

Pat - June 2023

I just wanted to thank you for all the time and patience you gave to me over the time I've been on my driving journey you pushed me to be more confident and you helped with every stage and I was very nervous at the start and always doubted my driving but you helped me overcome this and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to learn with you thank you Karen.

Couldn’t of asked for a better instructor with only short notice Karen managed to get me test ready and PASSING WITH NO MINORS! Would recommend Karen to anyone and everyone as she’s easy to get along with and makes driving lessons as good as they can be! Thank you for your help I really appreciate it!

I turned 17 during the last lockdown and Karen squeezed me into her diary as soon as she was allowed to teach again, 7 lessons later and I’d passed my test!  Karen’s approach and teaching style made me believe in myself and gave me confidence.  Overall I have really enjoyed and am extremely grateful for my lessons with Karen.  If you are looking for an instructor I would highly recommend KBDS.

Karen has been absolutely incredible throughout this driving journey. Despite my lack of confidence and tendency to overthink everything, she helped me keep calm and breathe through it all. After not such a great start with another driving school, I am really glad to have come across KBDS as Karen's patience and understanding has been crucial to me passing my test. Thank you so much, and 100% recommended to any nervous driver!

Massive thank you to Karen who put up with me through an intensive course, after my lessons and test were cancelled due to Covid over Easter.  I never thought I'd get the chance to pass, but thankfully due to Karen's patience and carefully planned out lessons I was able to pass first time!  Can't recommend her enough.

Karen is the most amazing, patient lady I know.  Being a worried and nervous older learner she put me at ease from the start going at a pace to suit me and pushing me when she knew I could do it. Throughout my journey both driving and my own head space she kept me going giving me confidence I didn’t always feel.  I would highly recommend Karen and can’t thank her enough for what she has taught me. Thank you Karen x

From the get go I think it’s fair to say that I beat myself into the ground for every wrong decision I made, so much so I thought I failed in my test...

From my first lesson with KBDS I knew I was in safe hands with Karen. She’s an extremely friendly, professional driving instructor who made me feel completely at ease and confident in my driving capability. Without her I wouldn’t have been able to pass my test first time with only two minors. I would highly recommend KB driving school to anyone who wants to learn how to become a safe, confident driver.

As soon as I turned 17 I started driving lessons with Karen. Right from my first lesson Karen made me feel comfortable in the car and helped me to understand the roads well, and how to drive safely. During every driving lesson Karen made me feel at ease on the road and is so easy to talk to about anything. To anyone thinking about having driving lessons I would 100% recommend to learn with KBDS.

Having previously postponed indefinitely driving lessons with another instructor due to the stress of learning to drive in the middle of A level exams, then taking a three year break for university, I was perhaps understandably a little bit apprehensive about getting back in a car again, but Karen has been amazing. Right from the start she has been incredibly patient with me. Even in the midst of many many "marble moments" she stayed calm and I always felt like I was safe, and though I was never exactly very sure of myself she has always been super encouraging and has boosted my confidence no end. Thanks for everything Karen!

Karen was simply a great driving instructor! I passed first time with only 1 minor fault - which I’m still very chuffed about! I was coming back to driving lessons years after I originally started taking them and never actually trying to pass my test. Being that I left it so long I was apprehensive, but Karen was patient with me and let me take my time getting comfortable, pushing me just enough to make sure I left my driving lessons feeling positive and being that one step further forward. She was flexible with the lesson times and really helped me around my schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you very much Karen!

Where to start? Karen has been completely and utterly amazing as my driving instructor. I’d had quite negative experiences with previous instructors who made me feel nervous and reluctant to ever drive. Thankfully, I found Karen and her faultless style of tuition. My time in the car with her was fun, calm and tailored to what I was comfortable with - she showed me how to drive safely, but I could be myself and handle each stage my own way. If something didn’t work, she would find a new way to do it (parallel parking for one!) and showed constant patience and understanding. As an anxious and reluctant driver, Karen built up my confidence and got me through. I jokingly called her my therapist and counsellor too! We had such a laugh. I passed after a year when I was ready and it felt like such an achievement from all my perseverance. I can’t thank Karen enough.

She carefully planned each lesson and used visual aids to explain things to me, which helped me to pass first time!

Karen is absolutely brilliant, I can't recommend her enough. Having spent months with 2 previous instructors only to just get the basics of driving, Karen took just 8 weeks from my first lesson to pass my test.

She clearly spends a lot of time preparing her lessons which not only means as much as possible is crammed in the lessons but you also get highly professional tuition. Everything is clearly explained and she is quick to spot and correct errors and bad habits. Plus you always get lots of positive feedback in the lessons.

On top of all this she is incredibly friendly which creates a relaxed environment which really helps with nerves when learning to drive.  Thank you for teaching me.

Karen is an amazing driving instructor.

Thank you Karen​.

I always felt so comfortable and at ease with Karen! Her approach was consistently professional and organised; she always had ways of explaining things visually which was really beneficial to me! Not only that, she’s very patient and calm which is a perfect quality to have as a driving instructor, (even at times when I was constantly doubting myself, she would always help me believe in what I could achieve). She definitely takes your feelings into consideration; we would always discuss at the start and end of lessons what I feel happy to work on next, whilst gradually adding the more complex tasks, step by step. 
Karen is also very flexible, particularly when it came to exam season for me, she helped schedule lessons around my availability, which was incredibly helpful! I would definitely recommend her; she made my driving experience very enjoyable! She’s by far the best instructor around! Thank you so much Karen!!!!​

I have loved every minute of my lessons all because of Karen’s determination to make me drive with a ‘you can, you will, you did it’ method! All her lessons are planned out but with the pupil’s additions to that as well. I had a deadline of ASAP to pass my driving test and Karen made this happen!! Thank you Karen for being a legend (and slowing me down when going too fast which is all the time, haha!!).

Karen is very patient and kind and her explanations are very easy to understand even for a non-English native speaker like me.

Karen has been a fantastic instructor from the start. She gives great advice and has every lesson planned out, but also makes adjustments based on identifying your strengths and weaknesses or how you feel about different aspects. The lessons are scheduled around you, and she has been flexible on times when needed. I managed to pass first time, with some considerable time constraints for starting a new job, and Karen adapted everything to suit that need. She always remains calm and you can easily feel comfortable knowing that she will assist you when you need it. Not to mention that her Mini is really nice to drive! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn!

I can't praise Karen enough - she is an absolute diamond.   I passed my driving test over 30 years ago, but hadn't driven for over 10 years & had totally lost my confidence. A forthcoming move to a more rural area meant that I could no longer rely on public transport or my bike, so I knew I had to start driving again - eek!   

 

I got in touch with Karen for some refresher lessons & she messaged me straight back.   We arranged an initial outing to see how things went & amazingly, I really enjoyed myself (& Karen’s mini is just brilliant fun to drive!).   We discussed what I wanted to get from the refresher lessons, & Karen organised a programme for me - focusing on areas that I was particularly nervous about (for me this was big busy roundabouts & faster roads).  When I felt nervous about a particular situation, Karen put me at my ease with patience & good humour.   Thanks to Karen I now feel confident to get back behind the wheel.  All driving instructors aren’t the same – Karen is totally brilliant & in a league of her own!

 

Michele - March 2019

IMG_2504.JPG

Passed first time! Karen was the third instructor I used and the best by far. Her teaching method is a step by step process allowing you to gain confidence in each aspect before moving on to incorporate the more complex tasks involved in driving. I wasn't the easiest of students as my decisions weren't always the safest but Karen remained calm and collected and never lost her temper allowing me to remain calm rather than feeling under excess pressure. Learning with Karen was easy and enjoyable as she was a fantastic teacher who was pleasant and fun to chat with during lessons and was more than willing to help me every step of the way.

Soon after turning 17 I started driving lessons with Karen.   As expected I was extremely nervous sitting in the drivers seat for the first time. However, Karen’s approachable and positive personality gave me a more confident feel when driving and settled my nerves straight away. 
Finally, another huge positive of Karen’s set up is the great communication links between student and instructor. Along with this the in-depth information page on her website ultimately helped me pass my test first time. 
I would highly recommend!

A month after my 17th birthday I started my driving lessons with Karen and had no previous driving experience. I enjoyed my lessons from the very beginning due to Karen’s calm and reassuring attitude which really boosted my confidence. After covering the basics Karen would always ask what I felt I needed to work on and would then focus lessons on areas that we both agreed I was weaker at, which really helped me to progress and improve. I would highly recommend KBDS to anyone looking for a driving instructor!

I started learning with Karen as soon as I turned 17. One of my mates recommended her to me who had already passed first time with her. Karen was awesome at keeping a comfortable and calm environment whilst learning. I already had some driving experience before I started learning but Karen was awesome at teaching me the fundamentals of driving and passing my test. Anyone who asks me about recommendations for driving instructors, I'll send them straight to Karen!

I started my driving lessons on my birthday, I was so nervous.  But, Karen helped turn those nerves into excitement.  She has made me feel so comfortable with my driving. Karen is a lovely, positive and funny person, she made the lessons very pleasant.  I’m thankful for Karen for putting up with my constant talking, and for teaching me how to drive safely and confidently. I couldn’t of wished for a better driving instructor. Thank you so much Karen!

I started my driving lessons after my Birthday and was quite nervous. However Karen made me feel really comfortable with my driving from day one to today, it’s amazing how my confidence on the road has grown. I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor, not only is Karen a very knowledgeable instructor but a kind, positive and funny person making the lessons very enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I have had driving lessons with Karen since my 17th birthday and every lesson I have left feeling that I had improved with a variety of new skills. Karen’s teaching style was to push me out of my comfort zone because she understood what I was capable of at every point (the dreaded emergency stop). Karen has taught me both how to drive correctly and safely for my test as well as teaching me important skills and manoeuvres and talking me through potential scenarios that are crucial for ‘real life driving’. This wider knowledge that Karen shared with me has already proved invaluable in my first few days of independent driving following my first time pass! Thank you Karen!

After having my ups and downs with driving and finding it all very overwhelming I turned to Karen to help. Kind, understanding and patient are words that describe Karen and her teaching approach. Karen has helped me to feel much more confident behind the wheel and really worked on what I needed to do to enable me to pass my test.  Karen is always professional but fun and always wanting you to feel happy, safe and confident. Thank you Karen for all your hard work with me!

I grew up with Karen’s son, so was so pleased when she started her driving school. From lesson one she put me at ease, extremely calm and patient... a great teacher. She quickly identified areas for me to concentrate on, which was great especially when I was having extra lessons with my dad. She even went to the effort of taking me out in my own car to give me some pointers for when I passed my test. A superb instructor that I would highly recommend.

Karen is a very calm instructor and she made sure I did everything correctly and safely and I appreciate her for taking my lessons. I had my first lesson a day after my birthday in February, and after eventually battling through my theory she said I was finally ready for my test. And I happily passed my test! Thankyou Karen!

'Karen was the most fantastic driving instructor I could have ever asked for. I had very little driving experience at all prior and she helped me pass in just 4 weeks. I am very grateful to her tailor making a driving itinerary for me and helping me get the skills and experience I needed to pass so quickly. Karen is an incredible teacher and great at explaining, I couldn't recommend her more!'       Helen - April 2018

I really want to thank Karen for the immense time and patience that had been shown to me whilst taking my driving lessons.  Today I passed my test having been learning in a MINI.  Being 6ft 2, I wouldn't of thought this day would of come. But Karen was so detailed with every bit of information she gave me and really helped with the test day nerves. Again thank you.   Corbin - March 2018

Karen taught me to drive as soon as I was 17 - so I had no experience. Karen did not only teach me how to pass my driving test, but driving skills for life and safety. Karen is extremely calm and we always had a good laugh, which made it even more enjoyable. I’d definitely recommended anyone to drive with KBDS.

I started lessons with Karen on my 17th birthday.  She was calm and patient and very quickly I made good progress.  Although I failed my first test, I think because I was really nervous, I passed next time with flying colours!

Karen is a brilliant driving instructor who is friendly and works on your flaws.  She helped me through all the basics and everything I was uncomfortable with.  Her lessons are made to suit your schedule and let you progress at a very good speed.  I would recommend her to anyone.
