To learn effectively, student drivers need to be calm and comfortable. That's why we list all the information that learner drivers care about when booking their first driving lesson.
Here is our breakdown for learning to drive in Dundee with a female driving instructor and driving school.
It's important to learn to drive with someone you feel comfortable with. Whether that instructor is male or female, is fully up to the learner driver. If you have a preference then that will help put your mind at ease when learning to drive.
Really enjoying learning to drive and would say anyone who wants to learn go with Webster's
Rachel has been a great instructor. So helpful, patient and flexible. Would highly recommend!
You won't find a better instructor than Rachel, give her a try.
I moved to Dundee few months ago and even though I had my driving lessons I desperately needed refreshes driving lessons especially since I had never experienced driving in the UK before. Looking back I feel priviledged that I had driving lessons with Fiona - who is truly a professional driving instructor. I was always looking forward to our next lesson - I have never experienced this before with my previous driving instructor! :) What I appreciated the most about Fiona is that she always gives you an honest feedback and is working with you towards improving especially those driving areas and skills in which you feel uncomfortable with. She is very patient and thoughtful and always tries to pass the most of her in-depth driving skills onto you. She never made me feel bad about the mistakes I did and was always doing her best to help me understand how I can avoid doing them in the future. Since I am working fulltime I also appreciated that she was always flexible when it came to scheduling our lessons - I found it easy to find a mutual agreement about the times and places where to meet/finish our lessons.
Fiona was outstanding. Calm, professional, and thorough. I was an experienced driver, simply needing to get a UK license. She coached me along and helped me to obtain that goal.
Fiona was friendly and was great to learn with if you are nervous as she would never shout at you or make you anxious. However, this doesn’t mean I recommend to go with her as personally I think she is far to laid back! She barely prepared me for any of the tests I had in Dundee and would cancel on me almost every lesson or turn up late. There was numerous times I’d already be outside waiting for her to show up and she would text me saying she couldn’t make it anymore. The last time I seen her was the day I failed my test back in March, and she told me she would get back to me on a day we could have a weekly lesson again and that was the last time I heard from her! She never got back to me and I since have seen her out on other lessons. I think it was extremely rude and unprofessional. I passed my test after only four lessons in my hometown with a different instructor and he was appalled at how she was teaching me. I would definitely avoid, she’s laid back which is good for nerves but she’s not professional or serious about it whatsoever.
Thanks for helping me get there!!
Passed with only 4 minors! Thanks!
The lady, Fiona was not interested to help me because I’m Deaf. She wasn’t keen, the fact she didn’t questions or ask me if I could communicate she just refused to help at all. I can talk and hear very well, I’m just disgusted in her attitude towards this. I just wanted to put that out there, do not waste your time with people like that.
Awful. Rude, she has no time for deaf people.
I would highly recommend Fiona to learn to drive. She was very patient and helped me understand things in my own way. Thank you again for helping me get there.
I would definitely recommend Nicola Halliday. She is a brilliant instructor, who kept me calm, informed and safe during my lessons. She always fitted around my work and college commitments. I have just passed my driving test with a clean sheet, she makes sure you are ready to be a safe and capable driver. Thanks very much Nicola!
I would definitely recomend Nicola to any learner driver she makes you feel very calm and at ease whilst driving. She has a great way of teaching and helping you to become a confident driver.
I highly recommend Nicola Halliday school of motoring. Nicola is an extremely patient and informative instructor. I was always made to feel relaxed during my lessons and she knew how to calm my nerves. The skills she taught will always stick with me. Nicola is very flexible with her lessons and does her best to work around your schedule to fit you in for driving. I passed my test with no minors thanks to Nicola. I Would recommend Nicola to anyone who is looking to pass their test. Amazing instructor!

Avoid this woman never again will go with her always cancels your appointment at last minute and when u ask why she has a go at you not a very nice woman to deal with!!!
I would highly recommend Nicola as she ensured I passed first time as well as making my whole experience learning a whole lot easier.
I highly recommend Nicola as she is very patient and would always reassure me that I was going to pass first time (which I did) even when I felt like giving up. She is very flexible with giving you different time slots as I wasn't always able to do lessons during the day, due to work commitments. Very nice lady and easy to talk to which made my experience a lot easier and made me more calm as I tend to be really nervous.
Would highly recommend Nicola! Helped me to regain my confidence in driving and helped me to pass my driving test the first time. Nicola was very friendly and patient along with great teaching skills and knowledge. She was also very flexible in accommodating my uni and work shifts.
Dont think I would have passed with any other instructor as I had tried a few times before with various others. As the other reviews also say the confidence I gained whilst driving with nicola was night and day to the pressure I used to always feel while doing lessons with other instructors. Cant reccomend Nicola highly enough, excellent.
Nicola was really great with me when I was on a short time frame to get passed, she took me on with only 3 weeks until my test and I passed first time with 3 faults and only 3 double lessons, and this was after coming from only one previous lesson with an instructor that I didn't get on with and said there was no chance that I would pass in such short a time. Her teaching was very clear and concise, she was very patient and always explained fully where I went wrong and how to fix my mistake. Great instructor, you won't go wrong with her, very grateful that I found her so close to my test!
Did my lessons with Nicola for the first time can’t reccomned her enough she was fab always made we welcome in her car spoke away put up with all my nerves every week and I sat my test yesterday and passed all my family have been with her
Gemma was really great, patient and professional. She help me to pass within two months. I would tell all my friend to learn with her. Thank you Gemma.
Passed first time under Gemma's teaching and guidance. The atmosphere in the car with her has a great balance of being relaxed and educational. She'll make you feel comfortable and build your confidence and skills very quickly. Gemma's way of teaching is very natural and easy to understand which is perfect for someone looking to pass quickly!
I was very nervous and reluctant to start driving lessons but Gemma made me feel so at ease from my first lesson. Very friendly and patient and I enjoyed every lesson. Passed first time
Passed my test first time with Gemma, she is exceptionally kind and patient and ensured that I was totally prepared for my test.
Passed my driving test today, all thanks to Gemma! She's lovely and so patient I would highly recommend her
Passed my driving test in late 2016 with Gemma as my driving instructor. Passed first time with no minors and I’m certain I couldn’t have done it without her help. Super friendly and chatty so the 1-2 hour lessons fly!
Passed my test first time today with Gemma. Great instructor, would recommend!
I highly recommend Glad at Drive On driving school. Glad is an extremely patient and informative instructor. She teaches skills which will stick with you always. I was made to feel extremely relaxed and comfortable during my driving lessons, which made for an enjoyable atmosphere. Glad is very flexible and does her best to work around your schedule to fit you in for driving lessons. I achieved a first time pass and I could never have done it without her! Would recommend to everyone.
I passed first time with glad I highly recommend anyone who wishes to pass! Glad is a shining superstar with the patience of a saint made me feel very comfortable and there was no awkwardness! I will forever be greatful to glad for her time, support and assistance. I've gained the best road knowledge anyone could have gave me! If will be sending everyone glads way! Jade mcmanus
It was a pleasure to learn how to drive with Glad. She is open, honest, reliable and patient and will do her best to give you the skills you need to pass your test and stay as safe on the roads as possible. Couldn't recommend this lady enough. Thank you Glad.
We were badly let down by Red, leaving only days to get used to a new car, as well as having a car to use for the test. Glad stepped in (on her time off!) to make sure my son passed, after just 3 hours in her car! A fantastic instructor as well as a lovely lady. Can't recommend her highly enough.
Lovely Down to Earth Experienced driving instructor with lots of patience and very easy to communicate with..Thanks for your help Glad
Very professional and really helpful, I feel at ease with Clare,I would recommend Clare to anyone!!!
I must say Clare is very patience and clam. As a first time learner she motivated me through out. Highly recommend
I passed my driving test over a year ago but didn't feel confident enough driving places I wasn't sure, I then done a good few lessons with clare and she had me driving out my comfort zone, places I was unsure about. Clare managed to build up my confidence and made me feel at ease I am now extremely confident in driving anywhere, cant recommend you enough thank you so much!! Xxx
Clare was great. Calm and very clear with her instructions. Tailoring every lesson to my needs which allowed me to boost confidence in my weakest areas. Before every lesson I was asked what I wanted to work on which further improved what I was least confident in. She also has great flexibility and is able to cater to short notice requests. I would highly recommend.
I started lessons with Clare in the middle of February and passed my driving test first time with no faults just 2 months later, which speaks for itself. We always did something new every lesson and the way Clare explains and teaches you new maneuvers and roundabouts etc. by letting you have a go yourself and not spending lots of time looking at diagrams allows you to understand first time. There is no way I would have been able to pass so quickly with no faults if it was not for Clare, I would highly recommend her to anybody looking to take driving lessons. My only regret is not going with her earlier!
I started taking lessons but was really nervous and have been putting off driving for a while. Sabba was great she managed to put me at ease, was really patient with me and made me feel confident about being able to do it! I would definantly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to learn how to drive!
Alison was great! She was really patient with me and really understanding as well, she took her time with me and helped me pass first time in around 4 months
I passed my test a few months ago with Alison on my first attempt with her! An absolutely fantastic instructor who is calm, punctual, trustworthy, and makes learning to drive an enjoyable experience, even for an anxious learner. Couldn't recommend more!
Alison was a marvelous instructor! I am an experienced driver in the US and I thought I could pass the exam here without driving lessons. I don't think I would have passed the test without Alison's lessons. She prepared me for all the possible circumstances, and I passed with just a minor fault. I am so grateful!
Pamela is an excellent driving instructor. She was always patient and giving you the plenty instructions. I will recommend her to everyone who wants to get a driving licence quicker!
I just passed my practical test 1 hour ago with no fault! So excited! Pamela is an excellent driving instructor. She was always patient and giving you the instructions. Even when I made some stupid faults. I just used 12 lessons(including the practical test) to get the driving licence. In those lessons, she gave me all the information and instructions for the test and the real driving life. I will recommend her to everyone who wants to get a driving licence quickly!
