Best driving instructor I've ever had!

Having not started learning driving till 24 / 25, I was definitely nervous to begin with, and there was also a fair amount of pressure to learn and pass. However, Heather instantly recognised these worries and built my lessons to diminish them, reinforcing the basics and ensuring safety before progressing onto more complex techniques.

In the end, it took me no longer than normal to pass first time without any external driving exposure. Heather was very flexible considering her busy schedule, and adapted to my timetable in order to make sure I was on track to be up to standard by test. Furthermore, the lessons were enjoyable, and we had plenty of chats and breaks if I got a bit nervous! I'd highly recommend learning to drive with Heather and the rest of the Apple team.

Amazing

I failed 12 times with 3 different instructors before I was recommended to apple driving. I have passed 1st time with heather she is an amazing instructor makes you feel like family and really teaches you to be a safe driver not just trying to get you pass the test. I am so glad to have my test but will miss my lessons.

What a skilled, knowledgeable, wonderful and supportive teacher!

I learnt to drive with two teachers before, Heather but I don't feel like I actually began to learn until she became my instructor. Heather takes the time to not only teach you how to drive but why! She doesn't teach you to drive but how to become a driver! Her priority is ensuring that you are a safe, thoughtful competent driver. Her teaching is fair and firm, above all Heather truly and sincerely cares about her pupils, she'll never make you feel scolded and knows how encourage and support you.

Also, you can definitely count on plenty of giggles with Heather! Lessons with her us always fun; she makes you feel like family. Whilst I'm thrilled to have passed, I will genuinely miss my time with Heather!

Apple Driving School is most assuredly worthy of all the praise it receives! It is a committed, capable and kind team that work with integrity. Every one of them are incredibly valuable and talented instructors! I would definitely encourage you to learn with Apple, you won't regret it!

Great professional driving school that care about your safety.

I was nervous to begin with and worried that i would not be able to pick up driving, i also had concerns that i was basically going to get scammed like some of my friends stories. Heather could see i was nervous and was going to take a bit longer than usual to pass and she adapted to my needs. After a lot of hours and patience from Heather i managed to pass first time with only 4 driver faults which far exceeded what i thought i was going to get and i now feel confident that i am driving safely and properly. 

This is a great driving school, they do things properly and respectfully and Heather's number one priority is safety. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

After 10 hours of tuition and three failed assessments my driving was firmly stuck in reverse. Luckily I started having lessons with Heather of Apple Driving School and then passed first time.

Great driving lesson experience with Phil from Apple Driving School

I am very happy with the experience I have had with Phil from Apple Driving School, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking at driving lessons.

I passed first time today, having had Phil from the start of my driving lessons where I had no previous driving experience. He adapted each lesson based on what I needed to improve on, and was always happy to answer any questions I had and give useful tips and advice.

"PurpleTree53 30 Dec 2017

Perfect driving lessons.

Heather is a great driving instructor. She is very patient and thorough. I strongly recommend her for anybody wants to learn to drive safely. Thanks Heather.

"BluePicture45 29 Dec 2017

Fantastic.

Heather is a really kind, friendly, and brilliant driving instructor. I was incredibly nervous at the start, but she was really patient and helpful. I came to enjoy my driving lessons and strongly recommend Apple driving school. Thank you so much Heather.

"SanneetaW 26 Nov 2017

Huge thanks to Heather, I passed my test.

I had started manual lessons a year ago with another driving school, but due to irregular lessons and lot of other reasons, I had completely lost my confidence. When I decided to try once more I selected 'apple driving school' with the top rating in Yell, and that has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions of my life. I passed my test the second time, if not for my nerves the first time. Heather has been the most patient, caring, committed and sincere tutor, and I can't recommend her enough. Thank you so much Heather, you are the best driving instructor ever..

"LauraH-289 27 Sep 2017

Balbir is truly amazing!

After several lessons with another school i found them to be impatient and i didn't progress. Thankfully i came across Balbir, she is amazing every lesson i walked away feeling like i had learnt something, not only did she teach me to drive she was my life coach and for that i truly cant say thank you enough! I have just passed 1st time and its all thanks to Balbir!

"SaikoT 02 Aug 2017

Balbir is the best!!!

I am a foreign driver who's picked up some bad habits along the way. Balbir patiently ironed them out while being entertaining to boot! I needed someone to point out my faults and explain them immediately and calmly. Having two hour lessons also allowed me enough time to get rid of my nervousness and learn to drive the correct way. Thank you again and again. I passed the first time with one minor fault.

"JamesS-1557 14 Jun 2017

A big thanks to Heather and Philip

I joined Heather 8 years after first taking driving lessons. Heather instantly made me feel comfortable and confident when driving her car. I always looked forward to Heather’s lessons each week as she not only delivers highly professional and invaluable driving tuition, but also provides a lot of fun. The car was always exquisitely presented and was spotless inside and out, providing a very relaxing and enjoyable driving experience. Together with Philip, who instructed me for my final 6 hours of lessons to fit around my busy work schedule, Apple Driving School took me to my test as a confident and skilled driver, which allowed me to pass my test in flying colours. Philip’s ability to assess and advise me into the test with such professionalism at such an early stage of his career is a true testament to the rigour and quality of the training that Heather and Apple Driving School provide. I could not recommended this highly affordable and hard-working driving school any higher.

"DebbieR-84 26 Apr 2017

Nervous driving passed first time

I was always too scared to learn to drive but through the encouragement of friends I decided to give it a go at the age of 30. I was so incredibly nervous and Heather was the best instructor for this. She tought me at a pace I felt comfortable with, she never pushed me but encouraged me. I would be nervous before a lesson but she'd calm me down in no time with her great sense of humour and caring nature. She had me in stitches so many times which is just what I needed. Safety is very important to Heather. She teaches you to drive properly and not just how to pass your test. The proof that she is a good teacher is that I passed my test first time! I would definitely recommend Apple driving school. Thank you Heather for all your help. Debbie R

This was the best choice for learning my driving, I just wish I found it before. I’m very happy today because I made the right choice. I would recommend Apple for any new drivers.

"DominicB-38 15 Mar 2017

Brilliant Driving School

Heather is a fantastic driving instructor! Every week I looked forward to our lesson because Heather's amazing sense of humor and chatty nature made learning to drive an extremely fun experience. Not only was it fun but she really took the time to work on building my confidence as a driver and helped me overcome all the issues I had. Through her incredible instruction I have learnt to become a safe driver and passed my test first time. Would 100% recommend Apple Driving School to anyone looking to learn to drive. I'm really going to miss our weekly lessons and chats!

"NoahM-2 11 Mar 2017

Terrific!

I had a foreign driver's license, but needed to get a UK one; Balbir had enormous patience in explaining how the test would work and what I needed to do to pass. A pleasure to drive with as well. After a few lessons, I passed with a single minor fault. Thanks Balbir!

Great driving school

I am really pleased I chose Apple driving school. Heather was brilliant. I was a very anxious driver due to previous bad experiences with other driving instructors but she re-assured me and gradually built up my confidence. The lessons were fun and I feel that I wouldn't have passed by now if it weren't for Heather - Thank you! Would definitely recommend this driving school.

Highly recommended.

I was so lucky to have met my wonderful instructor, Heather.

I was always extremely nervous, but she was so reliable and always encouraged me patiently.

She taught me very useful driving skills, not only for just passing the practical driving test, but also for driving safely for my life, which gave me confidence in driving even such busy U.K. roads and made driving itself more enjoyable. Now I cannot wait to get my own car. 

Thank you very much for everything, Heather.

Apple Driving Lessons

For years I have always wanted to learn to drive, a few years ago I tried a with few different driving schools, unfortunately in the few lessons I had, I lost confidence and became nervous at driving. I stopped lessons for over a year and then finally decided to give it another try. After a bit of searching I came across Apple Driving School and had lessons with Heather. Heather has made the lessons fun, was very supportive and most of all boosted confidence in driving again! She teaches us not only to drive but to become safe drivers.

Thank you Heather for giving me the confidence in driving and then helping me pass my driving test, it has been a great experience learning to drive with you. Sept 2016

Couldn't be happier.

I was like you, browsing the internet, looking for a driving school to get me going. You know, a reputable one, with good reviews and decent pricing. I came across Apple. I was a little apprehensive. I penned a quick email, and a few hours later received a phone call from Heather.

Eight months later I’m still here. I’ll be honest, I thoroughly enjoy every single lesson. It’s something I look forward to. It’s stress relief, it’s laughter, it’s enjoyment and it’s learning. Yes, Apple will teach you how to pass your test, but more importantly they’ll teach you to become the best driver you can be. With patience, with humour, and with what I would consider, a great deal of innovative thinking. We’ve had ups and downs, bad days and good, and I’m just about to take my second test to get the other half of my license, but what I would say is I’ve never been more confident, and never been more comfortable inside of a car than I am today, and that’s all thanks to Apple.

Heather is an absolutely phenomenal driving instructor. She's so patient and understanding, I honestly don't know how she stays so calm and supportive!

Fantastic!

We were working with a tight time schedule as I am leaving the country next week but Heather, who has a good sense of humour and a calm demeanour, did everything should could to make sure I was ready and I've just got back from passing my test with zero faults!!!!

Fantastic service! Will recommend to all my friends.

The driving lessons were enjoyable, Heather makes you feel in a stress free environment throughout the lessons even in difficult situations for beginner drivers. It was easy communicating with Heather during the lessons and she always gave positive reinforcement making you feel confident and relaxed.

"Sam, Portsmouth

I can’t praise Karen highly enough. Karen was 100% patient, encouraging, supportive, flexible and friendly. I couldn’t have asked for anything more from an instructor. My recommendation for this driving school comes without any hesitation!

"Steve, Portsmouth

Learning to drive with Karen was brilliant. She put me at ease from the first lesson to the final lesson. Karen is very good at teaching all the required skills to become a confident and safe driver. Thanks to what she taught me, I felt confident when taking my test and passing. Once again, if you need a good driving instructor, I would recommend Karen.

"Marc, March 2015

Heather is an incredible instructor, who understands her individual pupil’s needs and can adapt accordingly. I started learning at 32 years of age and had previous experience of a “bigger” driving school who couldn’t find the time to teach me and my nerves. Needless to say this made me even more nervous about driving. I was recommended Apple Driving School by a friend and instantly struck up a good friendship with Heather who put me at ease and ironed out any flaws that my previous instructor hadn’t dealt with. My confidence in my own ability came around pretty quickly and that is all thanks to the way Heather teaches. I passed first time after just 5 months. I was taught not only to pass my test, but to be safe and to be confident. I recommend Apple as you will learn to drive and you will have a lot of fun doing so!”

"Taf, December 2015

Big thank you to Heather who is an excellent tutor, gave me confidence when I was very nervous at the beginning, and really went out of her way to help me pass my test. She has helped me not only with driving but with theory and finding my first car too. Heather was flexible with lessons, working around my changing shift patterns to make sure that I could continue with lessons even when working nights etc. Friendly, very professional and great sense of humour. Thanks Heather!

"Alice

I have had lessons with Heather since February and have just passed (first time!) in July! I wouldn’t have believed it had you told me – I was such a nervous driver and had virtually no practice outside lessons but Heather was patient and persistent in a really fun way that made driving lessons a high point in my week. I would really recommend her and Apple 🙂

"Siying, September 2015

Yay!!! I passed!!!

Learning driving is one of my new year resolution for 2015, so I phoned an instructor my friend recommended me and asked about having lessons with her. Unfortunately (and fortunately at the same time) she was too busy at the time and referred me to Heather.

Heather is very funny and I looked forward to my lessons every week ! I’m so glad that I’ve had my driving lessons with Heather- she made me laugh, she taught me how to drive safely, and most importantly, she taught me how to face failures and learn from mistakes. Anyway I highly recommend her and Apple driving school to everyone!!

"Becky, July 2015

I rang Heather in April telling her I had to be passed by August and over the past three months , as the weeks have gone by, I have looked forward to my lessons more and more. And even at my most anxious, I have felt at my calmest when in the car with Heather. She naturally puts you at ease, as well as being absolutely hilarious! She found the time in her jam packed schedule to fit me in for 4 hours worth of lessons, and is very passionate in getting people to drive safely to not just pass a test, but teaching invaluable skills you will always remember. Thank you so much Heather – not only have I passed first time, but I have passed with only two minor faults and I couldn’t have done it without your calm and practical approach to teaching. It’s safe to say I will miss our time we spend together each week, and I would recommend you to anyone! Thanks again, Becky. X

Heather has been such a lovely and patient instructor. She got me through my exam first time. She is great with building confidence and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. I learnt well with Heather there was never any point that i felt i wasnt getting the right information. She is very experienced and has a great ability in her job. I would highly recommend her and i would like to thank her for everything she has done for me. I will miss her and wish her all the best.

"David December 2015

Excellent driving school!

I was taught by Heather, who is an exceptional teacher, kind, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. She was always willing to go above and beyond to help me in my tuition, and took me from a nervous starter who had had a bad experience with another school through to passing my test with no faults. I could not recommend this driving school more strongly.

Heather’s methodical approach to teaching and knowledge of the trickiest parts of Bristol teaches you to adapt to any situation that will crop up, giving you confidence and ability to pass your test as well as drive safely for life.

"Rafael, 2015

I have had some experience driving in the past but never in the UK. I passed my driving test first time after about a month and a half from when I started my driving lessons with Heather. Heather is an excellent driving instructor. Very patient, calm, and always with good humor, she explained very clearly to me the driving process in the UK. Having had experience driving in two different countries, Heather really addressed some of my weaknesses in driving in the UK with lots of practice and prepared me really well for my driving test. I would fully recommend Heather as a driving instructor.

"Jamie, Bristol, March 2014

The skill, experience and passion that Heather displayed whilst teaching me to drive was outstanding. It made the whole experience not just informative, interesting and exciting, but also extremely enjoyable. I wasn’t particularly looking forward to learning how to drive initially, but Heather’s knowledge and innovative teaching style means you feel calm and confident all the while you’re behind the wheel. The rapport you are able to build leaves you looking forward to your next lesson, whilst her understanding and flexibility with booking lessons around work and home commitments means you can learn to drive in a period more suited to your lifestyle. Heather pushes you to succeed and doesn’t hold you back – she doesn’t just teach you how to pass a driving test, but how to actually drive. She has an amazing success rate – and with a little help from Bear this meant I passed first time! I’m almost sad that I have passed as I enjoyed my lessons so much, but I cannot recommend Heather and Apple Driving School enough! Fantastic people, fantastic company. Thank you very much!

Heather was flexible with regards to lessons when I had an injury which set me back, which I really appreciated.

At the tender age of 31 I really didn’t think I’d ever pass my driving test. I had tried once before which was a complete failure and was petrified to get behind the wheel. I went to Apple Driving school and was blessed to have Heather as my instructor. Heather was very patient and reassuring, and I felt my worries starting to ease. I plugged away at it with the support of my instructor. Heather didn’t just teach me how to drive, she also supported me through my theory. I passed my theory first time scoring 49 out of 50. Heather was able to build my confidence, and was brilliant when we booked my practical test. I didn’t think in a million years I’d be ready to take my test, yet there I was just days before my 32nd birthday driving up to the Test Centre. Hip, hip hooray, I passed first time with flying colours. Thank you Heather and Apple Driving School for being top dollar and helping me all the way.

I first heard about Apple Driving School through my cousin and sister. They said that Heather was a brilliant teacher and they were right! Heather is a fantastic driving instructor because she taught me everything about how to drive safely on the road and what to do in real life situations. If I was to make a mistake Heather kindly explains the mistakes so I know what I’ve done wrong and lets me correct my mistake until its right. Also, Heather helped me calm my nerves before taking my test as I was very nervous! She is also a very cheerful and bubbly person, which made my driving lessons more fun and made my lessons enjoyable. I’m very glad that I went with Heather because she teaches brilliantly. Thank you Heather for helping me pass my test and also thank you for teaching me all the things I should know when driving on the road safely.

Excellent teaching

I came to lessons after having lost confidence in my driving due to a previous instructor and a failed test. Phil was calm, professional and helped me to gradually rebuild my confidence. I sadly wasn't able to take my test with apple due to a change in personal circumstance but I know Phil wouldn't have let me take it until I was 100% ready to go. I learned not just how to drive but how to do so safely which was important to me. Would definitely recommend.

Passed first time with Heather!!!

I came to driving a little late at 24, I was nervous to begin with however, Heather calmed my nerves down and took time to explain everything. By the time I was driving around Bristol I felt confident that everything was going to be okay. Coming up to my test was a tough time, but Heather talked me through everything and kept telling me that I was ready and just to keep calm. With Heather's help, I passed first time with only 4 minors and as soon as I passed I felt confident enough to be driving around Bristol alone. 

I could only learn on weekends because of work which, made it quite difficult for any driving school to take me on. However, Heather made a new spot for me at 7:45am so I could start learning. I'm going to miss our Saturday's, but I'm happy to have my lie-ins back. Thank you for everything Heather!

Outstanding! Passed first time after 25 years of thinking that I would never drive!

I have been through 3 driving school before to find Apple Driving School, this is when I have really started to learn how to drive safely. In only 3 months I was test ready and passed second time (I was stressing at the first test).

Heather takes the time to explain why, how, when, etc.. it really helped me to understand how to be a safe driver.

Prices are competitive. The cars are recent and always tidy. 

The Instructors are very helpful and friendly.

I have already booked lessons for my wife as I know she will pass soon with Apple Driving School.

Outstanding! Passed first time after 25 years of thinking that I would never drive!

I can't speak highly enough of Heather and Apple Driving School. I contacted Apple Driving School as a last attempt to learn to drive after several bad experiences and a deep seated fear of driving ( I am 42 years of age )- I had all but given up hope of getting anywhere near test standard, let alone passing...but here we are, 8 months later and I have passed on the first try thanks to Heather! 

From the first lesson Heather listened to my fears and tailored the lessons around them, allowing my confidence to grow at my own pace whilst also encouraging me to take that next step. I really can't fault her method. As well as this, she is very safety-conscience and teaches to a very high standard. I now truly have an understanding of the skill level required to be a safe and confident driver.

Thank you so much Heather. I would never have believed that I could have achieved this and I couldn't have done it without your help, knowledge, chats and laughs and endless patience :)

Super happy!!!

I've passed my driving test today thanks to Heather. She was amazing throughout the past few months, she's not only an instructor but a friend too. She made learning to drive so enjoyable for me and she was always so calm even when we met lorries on the narrow road on a bend and that's just what I needed. Can't thank Heather enough I really thought I'm too late to start driving but I guess today was my lucky Friday 13th 😀😀🚗🚗🚗

Couldn't have asked for better

I took automatic driving lessons with Heather. She teaches to a very high standard and really cares about doing a good job. I passed my test last week on my first attempt and now looking forward to my motorway lesson

Thanks balbir

I have massively enjoyed learning to drive with Balbir. She is a patient, caring person and delivers her lessons in a way that is clear and well-paced. I have enjoyed every single driving lesson with her, each one has been unique in its own way and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thank you very much for everything! For believing in me and supporting me, again thank you very much Balbir.

Nervous driver passed first time

I passed my test first attempt. Thanks to Heather, learning to drive has been a pleasure. Heather is a patient, relaxed and thorough driving instructor who can help her pupil learn to drive even if they are really nervous like I was.

Thanks again Heather.

"AlysJ 26 Oct 2017

Passed First Time

My boyfriend and a friend of his both learned with Heather at Apple, and both passed first time, so she came strongly recommended. Heather is a great instructor and puts you at ease straight away. Very thorough teaching, so you can go to test knowing everything is covered. I was a very nervous learner, but I managed to pass on my first attempt, due to Heather's teaching. I would recommend Apple to anyone wanting to learn to drive in Bristol.

"MattT-95 11 Oct 2017

Phillip was extremely helpful and experienced. Passed with 3 minors

I learnt to drive with Phillip. He was extremely patient and very knowledgeable in all aspects of driving. The most helpful thing that Phillip taught me was how to drive safely and not to just pass my test. These benefits are fully realised when you’ve passed your test and you feel confident driving on your own. Whilst learning to drive I had many gaps, such as holidays and the process therefore took longer. However, Phillip was extremely flexible and we were able to pick up straight from where we left off because of his experience and guidance. I would strongly recommend taking lessons with Phillip.

"DeborahR-34 21 Sep 2017

Apple driving school is the best

I had taken driving lessons 10 years ago with another driving school, I had been taking lessons for about 6 months and never really progressed in fact I got more nervous as time went on so I decided to quit and thought that some people are just not ment to drive and I was one of them. 

I recently decided to have another try and contacted Heather from Apple driving school and I have learned so much in a short amount of time (started middle of June). I am due to take my test in 5 weeks! Heather is so patient and fun to drive with she really puts herself out to help you.

"SachinD-2 30 Jul 2017

Many thanks for a wonderful experience...passed 1st time!

It was a wonderful experience having the driving lessons with Philip. He made each driving session stress free and comfortable with his patience, comprehensive assessment and points for improvement. Passing the test successfully in the first attempt is a result of Philip's diligence. I am also thankful to Heather for being encouraging, supportive and giving constructive feedback. I would recommend Philip since he is truly a great instructor.

"AnushkaT-1 12 Jun 2017

Thank you Balbir!

An absolutely brilliant driving instructor with a lot of patience. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of learning to drive an automatic car. Balbir is very approachable, considerate and will work at your pace of learning, for instance, I had no prior driving experience and Balbir taught me everything from scratch. It has been a pleasure learning and knowing Balbir and I'll miss her company and our weekly chats.

Practical test

I passed my driving test today and I've never been so relieved!!!!! I can't thank Heather enough for everything she's taught me, she's an amazing teacher and a lovely friend. She's very patient towards her students, engaging and friendly. 

My younger cousin has started with her company and I will always recommend Heather to anyone in need of a great teacher.

"HannahS-125 24 Apr 2017

Dedicated instructor helped me pass first time

I passed my test first time last week, and I couldn't be happier with the training provided to me by Apple Driving School. My instructor Heather was dedicated, incredibly patient and incredibly responsive to my learning style and needs. As an older learner (31) who had difficulty with instructors in the past, I was nervous about the process. However, Heather put me at ease and I really looked forward to my time in the car, learning and laughing. I gained confidence in myself as a driver, gained focus and understanding of the reasons why the rules exist, and ultimately passed my test feeling calm and collected. I cannot recommend this school enough.

"AndreaG-34 12 Mar 2017

Thank you Balbir!

I am a late learner, having put off learning how to drive for many years, as I was fearful of driving. Balbir was patient and encouraging, not only helping me with my technical driving skills, but helping me work through my nervousness, in order to become more confident on the road. Her psychological assessment of me as a driver was always accurate and we'd work through each issue till there was none. Balbir is encouraging and yet firm, which I am grateful for. And always punctual and reliable. Thank you, Balbir!! I will miss our driving sessions and chats!

"LucyP-59 24 Feb 2017

Great Driving School

Heather is a fantastic driving instructor. I was a nervous driver but Heather was really calming and chatty in each lesson. Her sense of humour helped to make me feel at ease and I always knew I’d have a laugh in each lesson, even if I wanted to cry at points. She has so much patience and went above and beyond to help build my confidence, making sure I passed my test and learnt to become a safe driver. Thank you so much Heather, I would definitely recommend Apple Driving School.

The perfect choice.

I couldn't be happier with Apple Driving School. Thanks to the lovely and personable Heather, the stress of each lesson was so minimal that I found myself eager to get back behind the wheel. Instilling the necessary skills to become a proficient and more importantly safe driver was invaluable and resulted in me passing my test first time. 

I couldn't recommend Apple Driving School enough.

Pass safely

Driving is not only about test, but more on safety. Apple driving school is the best place to learn safe driving.

Passed first time!

After 2 different instructors previously, I finally passed first time all thanks to the commitment and patience shown by Heather. She never once let me down with a lesson and was able to calm me down after a few stressful times! I now feel confident in my driving and would recommend Heather to anyone. Thank you!

"Michaela, Bristol

IHeather is an outstanding driving instructor. I have never been the most co-ordinated person so knew I would find driving a struggle! Heather has been extremely patient with me and has always gone beyond the call of duty. She is a fantastic teacher and a genuinely kind and funny person. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wishing to learn how to drive. I also highly recommend the motorway lesson that Heather offers as it has really taught me a lot and boosted my confidence.

"Josh, Bristol, Jan 2014

IHeather is a fantastic Driving Instructor who is both patient when necessary and encouraging when you begin to progress with your driving. Her experience shines through as you are taught to drive with the utmost precision and safety. Always had a smile at the end of the lessons.

Heather has been nothing but patient and understanding from the moment I started. Me picking up the phone after 2 years since my last lesson was the best thing I ever did. I was nervous at first but after several weeks I was really looking forward to my lessons and I really enjoyed the way Heather is so easy to talk to. She explains things so that they are super easy to understand and I wish I found her a lot sooner than I did 🙂 Best instructor ever and well worth it!! I never imagined I could pass my test let alone first time 🙂 so thank you very much for that!

I learnt to drive with Heather, she was a fantastic instructor! Before starting with Heather I had been with a different instructor who I didnt particularly get on with, which then made me very nervous about learning to drive and was dreading starting my lessons again. From the moment I got in the car with Heather I knew I was in safe hands, she is such a lovely bubbly and patient instructor which made me feel so happy and confident about learning to drive. I picked everything up so quickly thanks to Heather’s calm friendly attitude. I passed my test and am enjoying driving so much now, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone who is wanting to learn! Thank-you so much!

Thanks to Heather’s great knowledge of driving, her sense of humour, way with people, teaching techniques and so many other amazing attributes, I passed in quick time and full of confidence. I looked forward to every lesson and the time was worth every penny as it flew by with my driving ability increasing massively. Heather would be my first choice instructor if anyone should ask my advice. I am so pleased to have my license and to be on the road so soon.

"Liz, Salisbury, June 2013

Having held my provisional license for nigh on 20 years I thought it was time to pass my test. Having had some bad experiences with other driving instructors over the years I was cautious about going to a new instructor but I am so glad I did. Karen was absolutely fantastic and I felt comfortable in the car from day one. Her easy relaxed style of tuition made me feel so much more confident and she gently pushed me to do all the bits of driving I hated (especially roundabouts!). I am sure I must have driven her mad talking my way through each lesson but she never complained and has a fantastic sense of humour. It’s the first time ever I have looked forward to my lessons and actually enjoyed driving. Her confidence in me paid off and I passed my test this morning. Karen, what can I say but your an absolute star and I would recommend you to anyone. Can’t thank you enough and I will definitely miss the lessons!

"James, Bristol. April 2012

Before I started taking driving lessons with Apple Driving School I had already taken one lesson with another driving school and it really ruined my confidence in driving. The first lesson I had with Heather was brilliant, she made me feel comfortable and safe in the car and that lesson alone increased my confidence. The driving experience I had with Heather I will never forget. Not only is she an amazing driving instructor she’s just genuinely a lovely person and that alone allowed me to enjoy my lessons. The way Heather teaches makes it so much easier for people to learn and that is what I think sets her apart from other driving instructors. I’ve already recommended someone to take lessons with her and i’ll happily continue to do so. Thank you so much!

I began my driving experience with Heather, until she unfortunately moved away from my area.  She got me off to a great start, and was extremely helpful.  Thankfully I was able to continue with Karen, who I spent the majority of my lessons with.  Karen was absolutely fantastic, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better Instructor.  She taught me all the skills needed, and explained them perfectly.  Karen is so easy to get along with and I’m going to miss having lessons with her.  I’ve already recommended Apple Driving School, and I will continue to do so.

I started driving lessons with Karen in December and in March have passed my driving test on my first attempt. From the very first lesson Karen made me feel very relaxed and confident and with her tuition I have gone from dreading driving to loving it. This is a credit to her and I am going to miss having lessons with Karen as she is so friendly and easy to get along with. I would not hesitate to recommend Karen to any of my family and friends, who are thinking of learing to drive.

I found Apple Driving School completely by chance and don’t think I could have come across a better school. Heather is absolutely amazing, so calm, honest and friendly. I looked forward to every lesson, which as we got closer to the test the time seemed to go faster and faster. Really couldn’t of asked for a better instructor!

As a keen motorcyclist of 9 years I thought the transition between bike and car would be a lot more difficult, however Heather was completely understanding of my lack of familiarity with the extra width of car and got me to slow down by politely reminding me “we are in a car, not on a bike and we will not fit though that space”…it worked! Passed first time but couldn’t of done this without Heathers guidance, patience and wonderful sense of humor. I’ll be recommending Heather and Apple Driving School to anyone I can who is looking to not only learn to pass their driving test, but how to drive safely, confidently and in situations that in time you will more than certainly face. Thursday’s and driving just won’t be same without our conversations…Thank you so much Heather!!!

I just want to thank Heather for her guidance, genuine interest and friendliness. Previously I started my driving lessons with a different school, but after failing my first test I found myself loosing my confidence and starting to doubt my abilities. Initially I asked Heather for an assessment, but after one lesson with her, I knew that I could only learn and pass my test with her. I really felt that the highest priority was for me to become a more knowledgeable and skillful driver. Heather understands that our needs vary from person to person, she is willing to apply different teaching techniques and to work with you towards your improvement. Thank you once again Heather for your lovely personality, patience and professional advice and thank you Apple School for helping your students become confident and skillful drivers! Would happily recommend Heather to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor!

"James, Bristol. May 2012

I learnt to drive with Heather after spending 30 lessons with another Instructor and to know that I still had to have my basics corrected I was disappointed with my previous instructor.  But within few lessons It was all corrected.  I never felt stressed with Heather; she is so calm and cool and we laughed and learnt.  She always motivates to learn and never discourages.  Even if you make a mistake you will briefed for a very short time.  She believed in practicals rather than theory and demonstration (unlike my previous instructor who spent most of time giving demonstrations).  I must say special thanks for accomodating my last two lessons on Sunday as it gave me lot more confidence to take the test and pass first time.  Thanks again.

"Marta, Bristol. Sept 2012

I passed first time with Apple Driving School. Me, first time, me who thought I am a hazard on the road! With Heather the impossible is possible. She is patient, she is fun but also serious when she has to be. There was no stress, no nervousness, everything was so natural. The best thing is, she doesn’t teach you to drive and pass the test, she teaches you to drive for life, teaches you the good habits all the drivers should have as a bonus – time well spent. Great! Thank you to Heather!! Marta, Bristol. Sept 2012.

"Emran, Bristol

I wish to thank Heather at Apple Driving School so much for helping me to pass my test and more importantly giving me the confidence to drive by myself straight away.  She is incredibly patient and uses all of her experience to focus on areas of your driving where you lack confidence – precisely what you need from an instructor.  I think it is really important to build a strong relationship with your instructor to guarantee that you are able to voice any concerns and be able to concentrate on the road even when you are stressed & tired, because lets face it, that’s real life!  I cannot recommend Apple Driving School highly enough and Heather is by far the best, most caring instructor I’ve had.  So give Apple a go…honestly, you won’t regret it, especially when you’re holding that pass certificate in your hand!

Her calm and collected approach to teaching ensured that I improved quickly but without feeling any pressure. She manages to balance being extremely professional with being friendly and having fun whilst learning. She was flexible with my working hours and fitted me in at a time that suited me best. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Heather as a driving instructor or Apple as a driving school… Especially as I passed first time!

I first heard about Apple Driving School from my cousin; he was the one that introduced me to Heather. Heather is a great instructor to learn with because she teaches everything you need to know on how to drive safely on the road. With my previous instructor he only took me to one place to learn to drive but with Heather she took me to different places in Bristol, even the busiest parts. This has helped me to deal with different types of roads and roundabouts and it made me aware of hazards around. I’m glad that I went to learn with Apple Driving School because it has helped me a lot to drive more confidently on the road. Thank you for teaching me Heather!

Heather was very professional and personable and helped me rediscover my confidence and improved my ability. She was very honest about my driving level every step of the way, advised me when I was not ready to try things and really pushed me when she knew I was. You could not ask for a better school and instructor and I could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you Apple I can drive safely and confidently because of you.

Heather was a fantastic instructor who reinstalled my confidence after I failed my first test attempt with a different instructor. After changing to Apple Driving School there was a noticeable different in the quality of my lessons. Heather instantly made felt at ease and relaxed in the car and as a result I thoroughly enjoyed all of my lessons. Heather made learning to drive fun. Her funny quotes and phrases that always made me laugh, were a unique way for me to learn the basics without compromising on safety. I now feel I have become and safe and confident driver after passing with Apple Driving School. I am looking forward to my motorway lesson next week and am hoping to get a car very soon!

I can highly recommend learning to drive with Heather, as she makes you feel at ease as soon as you get into the driving seat. She helped to build up my confidence on the road; for example, if I made a mistake, we would go around again and correct it. She reinforces good driving practices, ensuring I concentrated on the hazards around me just as much as the driving itself. Heather’s knowledge, patience and good humour make her a great driving instructor. Thanks again for helping me to pass first time!

Having put driving lessons to the bottom of my to-do list, I can only say that I was not looking forward to booking my first lesson. However, my partner had taken his lessons with Heather and had nothing but praise for her! So the day came for me to book in and it went with ease. Heather was extremely accommodating for my weekend requirements and when it came to my first lesson she put me right at ease. With each lesson I improved greatly and Heather was extremely encouraging and supportive throughout. I couldn’t recommend anyone more and she helped me pass my test 1st time which I never thought I’d achieve before I started. Heather taught me to drive. Not just to pass my test! Thanks Heather and Apple! I will definitely send anyone I know your way for lessons.

After moving to Bristol from a much smaller city, I had avoided learning to drive here for a few years, but after starting my lessons with Apple, I was able to pass my test first time! Heather put me at ease and built up my confidence by taking me to so many different places around Bristol. She actually teaches you how to drive for life and not how to pass your test, she encourages you to think and doesn’t just tell you what to do. Heather quickly picks up on the best way to teach you, she will not push you into a situation until you are ready for it. I could not have asked for a better instructor, Heather is kind, funny and if you make a mistake she helps you to learn from it without losing any confidence in yourself. I would fully recommend Heather and Apple Driving School for anyone looking to learn how to drive.

However, after starting with Apple Driving School and learning with Karen in Salisbury she came on in leaps and bounds and unlike with her previous instructor she actually started enjoying her lessons. Karen was so much more approachable and friendly and the confidence in Kayleigh’s driving showed when she was out practicing with me in-between lessons.
