First Lesson Free - As a welcome to my new drivers I am currently offering you a one-hour driving lesson free when you book your first ten hours with me.
You can call on 0333 772 9842 for more details.

Hi, my name is Caroline and  I have been working in the teaching profession for pretty much all of my career to date. I decided a while back to teach people to drive safely on our modern busy roads as I can bring a wealth of my teaching experience and people skills to help you pass your driving test, but more importantly, be a safe driver for all of your life.  

I aim to present my lessons in a calm, fun and patient style because I know that if your lessons are fun you will learn quicker and to a deeper level. The benefit of this approach is that you will be a considerably safer driver when you are driving on your own after passing your driving test.

Eco-safe driving is a skill that I can teach you to save fuel by driving safely and efficiently. This all means you will save money as your fuel usage will improve by simply driving in an eco-friendly way.

Pass Plus Lessons 

For those who are fully qualified drivers, you may only be driving around the London road network. If that's the case, I also offer the official 'Pass Plus' training course with a qualification for you at the end of your training. We get you driving out of the city and together we work on your motorway driving skills, night driving, and countryside driving and I will go into greater depths when driving in differing weather conditions.

Caroline, Prime Driving School Instructor

Attention to detail is also one of my strong points as I believe that this leads to a higher standard of driving for all my pupils. Adapting my teaching skills to suit your learning style enables me to teach you quickly and effectively as we all learn in different ways.

Should you need it, I will also help you with your theory test, when we commence your driving lessons.

I look forward to meeting you soon and getting you to pass your Driving Test and becoming a safe driver.

What students said about learning with Caroline

Adam

Caroline is a brilliant driving instructor. I really enjoyed my lessons with her and she made it easy. She’s calm, patient and very warm and caring. You will have made the right choice if you choose to go with her.

Alex

Passed my test first try after only 10 hours of driving with Caroline. 

An amazing instructor always focused on me as a student driver , correcting my every mistake and teaching me everything in such a gentle and kind manner that everything just stuck with me and I did not have a moment of stress while driving with her, I had previous bad experience with driving instructors but I will recommend her to everyone. Good luck with the test to everyone !!

Amandeep

I would highly recommend prime driving school to anyone who wants to do lessons Caroline was an amazing instructor passed my test today first time👍🏽

Andy

The right instructor. Light hearted yet strict in teaching. Teaches to be a safe apt driver, and not just to pass a test. Clear, concise instructions and advice.

Ben

I cannot recommend Caroline enough! I got in touch with her as my experience with my first instructor wasn’t great. He had got me pretty much test ready but then completely knocked my confidence before the test and i didn't end up taking it.

I decided to change instructor and got in touch with Caroline who was completely honest about my level of driving, and helped rebuild my confidence with her enthusiastic and kind approach. I felt so much better after just 4 extra lessons with her. We worked on the test routes and she explained exactly what to expect in the test. We also did an hour before the test to calm the nerves which was a great idea. I ended up passing first time with 2 minors, and i believe this is mostly down to the confidence Caroline helped instil in me!

If you’re looking for someone that will build your confidence and explain things in simple and clear ways definitely don’t hesitate!

Ben

Bradley

Excellent instructor. Caroline provided tailored instruction that helped me transition my previous driving skills acquired overseas to the demands of driving in London. Top notch all around.

Cecile

Caroline is the perfect driving instructor and in general one of the best teachers I’ve ever had....

Dorit

My daughter has just passed her driving test following her lessons with Caroline. Caroline has been a great teacher, calm and patient. She gave my daughter immense confidence and practiced the exercises as often as needed in order to enable her to pass her test. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to future students.

Dorothy

Today I passed my driving test and I am so so happy!!! I honestly could not have done it without Caroline's calm assurance, kindness and knowledge of tottenham/ wood green test routes. I felt fully prepared thanks to her and could not recommend her highly enough as an instructor.

Emily

I’ve just had a few refresher lessons with Caroline after a year out of driving and I can’t rate her highly enough. I’ve come out of them feeling confident with my driving again and actually looking forward to driving. Thanks so much Caroline.

Eoghan

Thanks to Caroline I am now finally the proud owner of a full driving licence! I had always regretted not learning to drive when I was younger and was a complete beginner when I started my lessons with Caroline. She was very patient while I got to grips with the basics and gave clear and concise instructions throughout. I have a hearing impairment and she made sure I could hear all instructions loud and clear. I enjoyed our lessons and chats together and never felt intimidated or uncomfortable when I inevitably made some mistakes along the way as Caroline always only offered encouragement and calm advice on how to correct my mistakes.

I spent a while trying to find the right instructor so know how hard it is to find someone in London. You'll have to spend a fair amount of time sitting beside each other so its important to find someone who you're comfortable with and gives you confidence and encouragement. Driving in London can be a daunting task and intimidating at first! Caroline came highly recommended to me and when I did my first lesson I knew I had found the right person there and then. So if you're reading this and searching for an instructor I highly recommend you get in touch and try and secure your place, you won't regret it.

Thanks again Caroline for all the enjoyable lessons and thanks for helping me pass my test first time round!

Eva

Learning to drive with Caroline has been such a brilliant and memorable experience. 

Calm, clear, patient and a lovely person- I would recommend anyone looking for a driving teacher to go with Caroline.
She has a positive and encouraging teaching style, clearly explaining how to correct mistakes and her lessons were enjoyable. I am amazed at how my confidence as a driver has grown. Thank you so much Caroline, I will miss our lessons!

Faye

Caroline is an incredible driving instructor. Clear, calm, knowledgeable and friendly. Now I can drive the band van on tour. Thanks Caroline!

Guilherme

Caroline is clever, patient, reassuring and gives you the confidence you need to pass the exam. In one word, she knows how to teach. On top of that, she is such a nice person. I wouldn’t hesitate one second to recommend her. She is the best instructor ever.

Hanna

Caroline is absolutely professional with great time menageable and planning.
I have been holding my driving licence for years and just needed to bring up my confidence to get back on the road in England. She is calm and makes me as much comfortable as possible in driving. She teaches everything correctly and patiently.
She is able to understand a persons weakness and areas of improvement. Teaching methods are very clear, straightforward, and easy to remember, which increased my confidence with every lesson.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for driving lessons!!

Isaac

Best instructor EVER! Couldn’t recommend more!

Caroline is very encouraging and it definitely help to build up the confidence of driving. From a point of view that my previous instructor is a bit passive aggressive, I am able to tell how helpful it is to have an encouraging instructor. While she is encouraging, she still can and will precisely point out the driving mistake and method to tackle it.
She knows her car very well and all the little tricks to improve driving.

100% recommend!

Ivo

If I could award more than five stars for the amazing teaching I received at Prime, I would! 

After some trial and error with other schools and instructors, I started learning with Caroline and was so impressed at how quickly I developed from a nervous driver into a confident one. 

She provided a comfortable space to make mistakes and learn from them, and encouraged me to keep trying when I was close to giving up. I’d never have passed without her help. Thank you!

Jess

Just passed today and couldn't have asked for a better instructor always calm and patient, thank you so much. I'll definitely miss our lessons :))

Jesse

Caroline is an excellent driving instructor, I have learning difficulties, am an older learner and had no driving experience and passed both theory and practical test first time with roughly 45 hours tution

Jessica

I had an amazing time with Caroline! She is friendly, lovely and especially encouraging. I’d 100% recommend a friend to have her as their instructor because she is very understanding, and patient. Although I had to retake my tests several times, we worked together as a team and I felt like once I passed, WE passed! She is not only an instructor, but a lady with who anyone can chat with! I was so ready to get my licence, but I will definitely miss my sessions with Caroline.

Johann

I had an incredible experience learning to drive with Caroline ! From our very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her teaching style is patient and clear which helped me progress quick
Thanks to Caroline , I passed my driving test on the first try! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn how to drive. You won't find a better instructor!

Johanna

Brilliant service with a very knowledgeable and experienced instructor. 

I only had a few lessons with Caroline and passed my driving test today. I HIGHLY recommend! Her strategic way of teaching helps you evolve and grow in confidence.

JT

Caroline was my instructor. She is everything you are looking for in an instructor - friendly, patient, knowledgeable, meticulous which instills a lot of confidence in you as a learner. Passed my test within 4 months.

Libby

As someone who reached their 30s having tried to learn to drive elsewhere in both my teens and twenties with no success, finding Caroline this year was an absolute godsend! 

She is a warm, friendly, supportive instructor with a huge wealth of expertise, able to notice the specific details around what's actually going on when there are things you struggle with or have mental blocks about, and making them accessible and easy to understand - I had so many 'aha!' moments where it all suddenly became crystal clear and with Caroline's invaluable teaching I became a confident driver with no doubts that I could pass my test, which is exactly what happened :) beyond grateful and relieved that I went with Caroline - driving has been completely demystified for me and I went from nervous and hesitant to calm, secure and, most importantly, safe out on the roads! 

If you're having any doubts around who to work with, I can unreservedly say this is the safest pair of hands you could possibly hope for.

Luca

Caroline is a brilliant driving instructor! She's clear, direct, kind, and extremely helpful. I became far more confident behind the wheel over the course of our lessons, and I couldn't have passed without her help!

Lydia

This school has help me pass today they have lovely qualified instructors

Maggs

Amazing instructor! Felt safe and comfortable at every lesson. Couldn't of passed without Caroline. Recommending Prime Driving to everyone I know.

Mario

Caroline is unquestionably an excellent driving instructor.

She is very kind, patient, but most importantly she possesses an in-depth knowledge of driving in the UK. Communication with her was really easy from the beginning. I passed my practical test, and I can confidently say it was 100% because of her.

I highly recommend anyone to book driving lessons with Caroline.

Maud

Thank you Caroline for being such a patient and encouraging driving instructor. Wouldn’t have done it without you! A trillion thank yous!

Millie

What an amazing experience learning with Caroline. She is a brilliant instructor and very patient. I’ve had a couple other instructors before and they don’t compare! She is the best.

Monti

Thought Caroline was a very good instructor. Helped me pass my test on the first attempt, which I was very happy with.

Nour

Thank you so much for your help Caroline! I started lessons with Caroline after having a few lessons with an instructor who was not interested in my learning and kept making me drive in the same cul-de-sac. From my first lesson with Caroline, I could tell she was going to be very different.

I got behind the wheel immediately. Caroline was patient and supportive, correcting my mistakes and helping me learn through repetition. I made her aware that I was nervous about driving. She built up my confidence by letting me know what I was doing well.

In 3 months I managed to pass my test the first time, but more importantly I feel confident as a driver. Thanks again, I couldn’t have done it without you. I highly recommend Caroline as an instructor for anyone looking to learn or refresh their skills, you won’t be disappointed!

Rafi

Caroline is an excellent teacher. As an international driver, I had picked up many bad habits. Caroline created a tailored plan for me, which allowed me to revisit my knowledge and learn the correct methods. I was very happy to pass the test on my first try! Thank you, Caroline!!!

Rebecca

I cannot praise Caroline at Prime Driving School enough. I went from never driving before, to passing my test (first time) in the space of 5 months. Caroline is calm and collected and makes the entire experience a lot less stressful. She instantly puts you at ease and boosts your confidence. I would 100% recommend Caroline to anyone looking to start driving lessons. I will actually miss my driving lesson Thursdays!

Rio

If you’re looking for an instructor in the Wood Green/Tottenham area, then you must contact Caroline.

Caroline is a brilliant driving instructor. From organising my first lesson, to passing my test, Caroline was incredibly professional, beyond helpful, extremely friendly and super down to earth. Her expert knowledge is absolutely what got me my pass first time around. 

Also, she is very trustworthy and her honesty on progression is brilliant - she really just wants you to pass in the most efficient way possible!  You’ll be doing yourself a massive favour 😊 Highly, highly recommend!

Rueban

Cal was an excellent instructor and helpful throughout the whole process of getting my full licence. Very pleased

Samira

Caroline is a brilliant driving instructor, she is informative and able to explain and teach manoeuvres and urban driving really well, even areas one may find tricky. After 16 years of trying to obtain my licence I was able to pass with Caroline’s teaching first time round! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Sean

Caroline was an amazing instructor, patient, thorough and an excellent communicator. She has tonnes of experience and knows the area + test routes very well. Would definitely recommend!

Sharon

"My Instructor".... At 60ish. I had set my heart on passing my test. Good fortune blessed me with the gift of a patient, kind and very competent lady. "Caroline" my driving instructor has earned my admiration and respect, she really wants people to pass and has an innate way of tailoring her approach to the needs of her students. I can only say "Thank you" for enabling me to overcome my shortfalls and find my confidence in my abilities. Whoopee!!!. I passed, I am so glad I found you..... I knew you was the one!"

Stacey

Excellent driving instruction with Caroline Shaw. Patient, kind, helpful, expert in her field and knows how to get you across the line. Managed to fit me in on such short notice and I managed to pass my test within two months! My confidence grew and I couldn’t recommend enough! Absolutely brilliant!

Szani

Brilliant and caring teacher highly recommended. Helped me pass on my first try .

Virginia

I passed my driving test today. Thanks to Caroline. She is an awesome teacher, really nice and helped me a lot. I highly recommend her!

Yang

Before learning with Caroline, I had another instructor. After I failed once and some other things, I decided to change to another instructor, and luckily I found Caroline. Caroline is certainly a very experienced instructor, but the most important thing about her is that she is always energetic, passionate and extremely calm and chill.

She will not become overly nervous when the car making strange noises, like when I forgot to release the handbrake but putting gas, she will remind me firmly but patiently with calm voice. she never get louder suddenly when something goes wrong, which works great for me as I can easily be affected by the bad air, get nervous, and forget what to do next. While learning with Caroline, all of those never happened, she is super encouraging, and never gets disappointed.

I passed test on October 24th, She got as excited as me when I passed, and I was so happy we can share that moment together.

Her teaching style is quite suitable for Wood Green test centre(where I had test), a place with complicated road conditions: People cross the road with no care and cars want to overtake from wrong side, you will need some chill vibe in that situation.
