"Rachel was a genuinely awesome teacher during the time I was her pupil - without her, there was no way I would have passed on my first attempt...

She was exceptional at explaining trickier aspects of driving such as clutch control to me, and her good sense of humour lightened the mood! The fact that I looked forward to my weekly lesson is testament to Rachel’s outgoing, positive attitude towards her pupils.

10/10 would recommend!"

"Rachel is a perfect driving instructor. Without her help, I would not have been able to pass my practical test. She made me feel very confident, and she supported me a lot. I would like to recommend her for everyone!"

Ludmilla Cvetkova
 

"Rachel is a fantastic driving instructor. She really put me at ease. I went with Rachel after 30+ hours in a manual and just couldn't get on with it, so I was recommended Rachel for automatic, and it's the best thing I did. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She taught me in a way that worked for me, and I would recommend her every time."

Catherine Godwin
 

"Patient beyond anyone's belief. Friendly and with the ability to still make driving enjoyable rather than rigid and overly structured with her teaching style. Finally got me to pass after several instructors. If I'm not living proof she can teach the hardest, I don't know what is!"

Matt Wagstaff

Ashley Hill

"I am so excited as I have passed my driving test with only 5 minors from the first time. I have Rachel to thank for this, she believed in me, pushed me to the limit, always wanted me to drive better, not accepting any errors. She made me fear the driving test as she always wanted me to give 100%. Thanks to her, the test seemed surprisingly easy! I could not have done it without her! Thank you Rachel!"

Kyle Widnall

"Rachel was an excellent driving instructor. I'd been driving for quite a while, just on the other side of the road in America, so I was worried about being treated like a total beginner, like I've had with previous instructors, but Rachel understood what I needed to know and taught me how to drive so I was test-worthy, fixing old bad habits I'd picked up. She explained exactly how test day would go and really put my mind at ease. I was barely even nervous on the test, and I passed first time! I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a good driving instructor."

Sarah Henson

"Friendly face with lots of patience, which gave the confidence to pass xx"

Ellie Cotterill

"Rachel has helped me along the way and has always taught me right and wrong! She's very helpful & great at advice, and the what to do & what not to do! Very trustful and never gone back on her word! I definitely recommend her to anyone and I hope she has many more passes like I have today :) "

Connor Shinn

"Thankyou, I could never have done it without your help& support! Thankyou so much!!"

Sophie Gore

"What can I say?! When I met Rachel Arling I was a 42 year old, nervous wreck with a complete fear of driving. Rachel's friendly, calm approach, not only enabled me to get past my fears but to also pass my driving test! I would recommend Rachel (and have already done so) to anyone learning to drive. One in a million."

Debbie MacMillan
 

"I would recommend Rachel's Driving School to anyone. I was very nervous and Rachel was very patient with me and helped me gain confidence quickly. She is a fun but firm teacher and she believed in me even, though I doubted myself. I cannot thank Rachel enough for helping me to get a first time pass. Xx."

Kerrie-Dawn Ferris

"Considering the first time I got behind the wheel I was so nervous I nearly cried, I am beyond happy to have passed! If it wasn't for her encouragement and help, I would have given up. Thank you so much for getting me here Rachel. I'm relieved that I don't need to catch two buses to work anymore! Xx."

Abigail Aris

Rachel Wellings

"I would recommend Rachel to anyone. She has pushed my driving abilities far past what I though I was capable of, and never stopped encouraging me. Her lessons were engaging and gave me a whole new perspective on how to be a good driver, teaching me valuable techniques and behaviours that I will always consider when I'm on the road in the future."

Sam Showler

"I would recommend Rachel to everyone if I could. After having lessons with lots of drivers, she was definitely the best. She made me feel at ease, she pushed me, and I passed my test with only 2 minors! When I thought I wasn't getting anywhere, she showed me I was. A massive THANK YOU xxx."

Cassie Strickland

Jake Showler

"Had an amazing time with Rachel & passed within 4 months of starting lessons with her. She is an amazing teacher and utilises her experience and techniques in practice. She motivates you and encourages you to think twice before doing anything. Her phrases stay in your head: "Engage your brain" & it actually works!! All the best for the future with your pupils xxx"

Aiqah Sadiq

"After 7 years of learning to drive, on and off, and 7 different instructors, it was safe to say I had little confidence in my driving ability. After beginning with Rachel, who came to my rescue after being let down by another instructor at the last minute, my confidence and self-belief instantly grew. She helped me to understand how to correct manoeuvres and minimise bad habits I'd picked up previously. The biggest thing for me though, is that for the first time (after nearly 80 hours of lessons) I began to enjoy my lessons and driving. Today, after 8 lessons with Rachel, I passed my driving test with only 1 minor, an achievement which seemed impossible 2 months ago. I can't thank Rachel enough and would recommend her driving tuition!. Thank you again!!!"

Kayley May Snell

"Had the best time learning to drive with this instructor :) . Amazingly lovely person that makes you feel comfortable, explaining things simply. Very straightforward and easy going. Gives you advice and criticism when needed. Wouldn't have wanted a different tutor! Thank you Rachel!!! ;) ."

Gintare Bendikaite

"Hi Rachel, I had a really good time learning with you. I was never really confident with driving, but I have not only developed my skills, but grown in confidence as well. Since passing, I feel like I have a lot more freedom, and would like to say a massive thank you, despite all my driving ups & downs."

Luke Barnes

"Rachel is friendly and approachable. I felt instantly confident due to her calm teaching style. I had lots of fun learning to drive, and passed my test first time."

Madeline Valentine

"Rachel was really supportive and focused on what I needed to improve on, rather than the same repetitive stuff. I would strongly recommend her services. Although I had taken lessons before, I passed within a dozen hours or so, in 5 weeks."

James Huddle

"Thankyou so much for being such a great instructor. You've been great & you always made me feel so at ease, which I think, is something that had helped me massively!!!!"

Megan Pettersson

"I passed my test today with Rachel's Driver Training. I started off knowing nothing and she got me to a good standard to pass in no time at all. It was not stressful and she talks to you, which eases the nerves as well! She is open to any questions you want to ask. I got feedback from everything, which helped me to improve. Rachel is a very nice person and really wants you to pass! She owns the Munchbox van outside the test centre so if you want any food she's the person to do your lessons with. I highly recommend Rachel's Driver Training. "

Jake Bellamy

"After a bad experience with a previous instructor, I was left with no confidence, and no desire to be behind the wheel again, but finding Rachel was the best decision, by far. She made me feel comfortable, as well as making me believe in my own ability to drive. Her teaching skills are relaxed and effective. If it wasn't for Rachel, I never would have been able to pass first time. I highly recommend Rachel's Driver Training to anyone. 10/10."

Naomi Honour

"Hi Rachel, just wanted to thank you for teaching Jacob to drive. We were all over the moon when he passed. Jacob enjoyed the lessons and found your teaching style worked for him. We also found your support with the theory test was very helpful. We would definitely recommend you. Thank you very much. Jacob and Mum xx."

Jacob Holdsworth

"Out of all the driving instructors I had Rachel was the one who gave me the confidence that I could pass my test. She is flexible with lessons and makes you feel comfortable driving. With the radio and easy conversation you can get use to driving how you will with any passenger after you pass you test. I would highly recommend Rachel if you’re looking for a driving instructor for manual or automatic cars."

Kirsty McGlashan

"After having many other instructors and failing to pass a manual test, I decided to try automatic. After struggling to find a local automatic instructor, I found Rachel and even though I lived out of the area, she was willing to travel anywhere and everywhere for her students! I always looked forward to our Saturday lesson chats and I will definitely miss them. I can now say that I have finally passed my driving test, and it is all down to Rachel! I highly recommend Rachel to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive!"

Hannah Holloway-Vine

" A very patient and caring instructor, who helped boost my confidence after having a bad experience with my previous instructor, who shattered my self-esteem. Rachel picked me up and helped me achieve my goal, and pass my test. I am delighted that I have passed, but a little sad that I will not see this lovely lady once a week, anymore. I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent instructor."

Crystal Teat

" I couldn’t recommend Rachel enough for driving lessons. Always having been a nervous driver, I’d been learning on and off for over 10 years with many instructors, without hope. However, Rachel changed that by giving me the confidence and driving skills to pass my driving test, and I’m finally driving now on my own. She’s helped me so much by being patient and kind, but pushing me when necessary. Thank you Rachel for helping me change my life! "

Maddie Heathshaw

"Can't recommend Rachel enough. I have had many issues with driving, and I began to believe I was simply not meant to drive. Rachel wasn't having that! She gave me the perfect balance of support and kicks up the bottom when needed. She was incredibly intuitive and knew just when to push me or back off. I honestly can't thank Rachel enough. She has made something that seemed a dream to me, a reality. Cheesy but true! x"

Rachael Buzzel

"Rachel, I just wanted to say I am so so grateful for everything you have done for me! You took me in and made me feel so at ease. You have taught me everything I needed in order to pass, and I cannot explain how much I appreciate that. I would 100% recommend you to anyone because, thanks to you, I have passed my test today, and I couldn't be happier! Thanks again, you're an absolute star! X"

Katie Bakhtadze

She made the trickier parts of driving a breeze, and her friendly, patient and positive attitude made my lessons a pleasure. Slowly but surely I found I'd grown the skills and belief I needed to drive confidently and safely, and I was able to pass first time! I'd recommend Rachel to any learner no matter their confidence or skill level."

She’s been super at booking lessons in to fit around my work schedule and after a few months I finally passed, first time with no minors. Highly recommended."

Fizan Iqbal

Right from the off she made me feel comfortable and confident in the car as well as helping me adjust to an automatic car.

Would recommend to anyone who is looking to take up lessons in manual or automatic."

I am so happy I chose to learn with Rachel. I would highly recommend her!"

Jade Frisby

"I would highly recommend Rachel as a driving instructor. I came across Rachel after much searching for an automatic instructor who would come to Chatteris. There aren't many!

I passed my driving test first time, and it's all thanks to Rachel!"
