My name is Claire and I enjoy passing my knowledge on to others I will help you to develop the lifelong skills needed to be a safe driver which is more than simply focusing on just getting you to pass your driving test.

The benefit of this approach is that you will be fully prepared to be able to drive in the varied conditions and situations you may meet on the road.

Before becoming a driving instructor, I spent many years working in Human Resources and my skills in learning and development coupled with my love for driving inspired me to become a driving instructor.

My approach to teaching is to simplify driving for you as much as possible and help you to understand and develop natural car control.

Claire - Petersfield driving instructor

Lessons are always conducted in an enjoyable, friendly and relaxed manner and are adapted to suit your learning style. I firmly believe in making my pupils feel at ease during their lessons because if you are at ease you will learn quicker and deeper.

Maybe you are a full licence holder and just need a little confidence building. With that in mind, I am also offering 'Refresher Driving LessonsIt is possible that you have had time away from driving, have not driven in the UK for a while or simply need to get to grips with a new car. I can carry out refresher driving lessons in my dual-controlled car or your own car.

I know the importance of providing all the reassurance that is needed and as a parent myself I understand how beneficial this approach is.

First Lesson Free- As a welcome to my new drivers I am currently offering you a driving lesson free when you book your first ten hours with me.

I can also help with your theory test if you have not passed it when we commence your driving lessons.

Lily

My instructor (Claire) was amazing, I am so impressed with the thoroughness of the teaching, and the thoughtfulness of my teacher. I was able to pass first time with confidence, security and safety. Thank you!

Maria

I’ve had lessons with Claire and I’d definitely recommend her as a driving instructor!

I had previous driving experience and used to hold driving license in another country. Since I haven’t driven for a long time and the fact that UK standards are very different, I had to learn how to drive again.

I was impressed with amount of detail given at practice lessons and I appreciate Claire’s patience when I made mistakes. She corrected me and gave advice on things to improve and become a better driver. It was very hard to book lessons and tests because of huge backlog of students after the lockdown, but Claire was flexible with scheduling and I managed to get ready on time for the first test, which unfortunately I failed. Luckily I was able to book another test soon and passed from the second attempt and I am very happy about it!

Many thanks to Claire who has been a wonderful instructor. She has been very patient with me as I’m naturally a nervous driver. Over time, I’ve built confidence on the roads with her guidance. I passed my test today with only one minor. I now feel confident and safe on the roads due to Claire’s excellent teaching !! Couldn’t ask for better.

Steve

Thank you so much Claire! I passed first time today and I couldn’t be happier! You were the perfect instructor for me. Always calm and easy to talk to, very clear and easy to understand instructions during lessons! I Would recommend prime driving school to anyone 5stars! 😊

Teresa

I have previously been with multiple instructors and been for the test a few times but couldn't seem to pass no matter how ready they said I was. However, when I began with Claire that's when I really started to understand where I might have been going wrong! Everything was explained so clearly and each lesson felt like a step in the right direction. Very soon after starting I could see a clear difference in my driving and really began to feel confident. And after a few months I went for a test and passed with no minors!! I truly cannot recommend her enough!!

Wayne

After many years of not driving I finally (yet reluctantly) decided to learn to drive.

The whole process of learning to drive was an absolute delight. Claire (my instructor throughout) was wonderful.  She put me at ease in my first few outings and was very patient for all my lessons.

With her expert advice and help I successfully passed my driving test today with only 3 minor faults.

I will be recommending Claire and the Prime diving team to anyone I know who is looking to learn to drive
