The best instructor going

Tasha is amazing! She taught me to be a confident driver and put my nerves to rest, she simplified everything and created a happy and safe environment. I always left my lessons happy and looking forward to my next one, I honestly couldn’t have done it without her.

I could not recommend Natasha enough

I could not recommend Natasha enough. She is so incredibly calm and patient, with every lesson being focused on what I needed as a driver. Every mistake was taken as a learning opportunity and reflected on not punished. I don't think I had a lesson where we didn't end up laughing, which made me feel so relaxed from the get-go.

Great driving instructor

From a parents perspective my teenager always came home saying that they had a laugh in the lesson before saying anything about the lesson or their driving. Natasha made learning fun, framed feedback in a way that makes the student feel they can achieve and is very patient. I would 100% recommend Natasha.

Fantastic instructor :)

Huge shout-out to Tash who is an absolutely amazing driving instructor. After a really difficult experience and four driving tests, her patience, calm (but fun!) approach and ability to adapt to what I needed made all the difference. I finally passed and couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend to anyone at any stage of their driving experience...

Tasha is an amazing teacher and just a great person! I am american and have been driving in the states for 15+ years and needed to learn how to pass the UK driving test and she took on the challenge. In our first lesson she was able to see exactly where I needed guidance and what needed correcting. She was very straightforward and to the point, and gave reasoning for all of her instructions, which helped greatly. The way she explained proper driving techniques was exactly what I needed and I enjoyed her directness as a very direct American, haha. I took 3 lessons with her and I was able to pass the test on my first try! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Plus, she is a joy to talk to. Thank you, Tasha!!!

I couldn’t recommend Natasha highly…

I couldn’t recommend Natasha highly enough! I switched over to her after not quite clicking with my original instructor and she was everything I was looking for. I really admire her approach to teaching, she was always supportive and understanding whilst also challenging me enough at the right times and advancing my learning. I felt beyond comfortable with her. She’s a great teacher and can absolutely get you to your pass!

Pass 1st time - parent

Tasha's approach was calm and structured. She adapted the teaching programme to suit my sons experience level, personality and learning style.
She provided useful feedback and areas we could practice in our own time to help our son gain in confidence and improve ready for the next lesson.
In just 4 months she enabled our son to pass first time in Cheltenham, which has one of the lowest pass rates in the country, thank you!

Best driving instructor around

Really relaxed, tailored lessons. Each lesson was well planned and productive. Only took 17 lessons between march and July to get to me test standards and then pass first time.
Overall great experience and would thoroughly recommend Natasha

I couldn’t recommend Tasha enough!
Tasha was so thorough and made things so straightforward. Safe to say Tasha does not waste any time as she simplifies everything you need to learn to make sure you pass.
Besides how great she is as an instructor, Tasha’s also very easy to talk ! Thank you so much Tasha ❤️❤️

5 star review

Tasha is empathetic, so talented at what she does and is very easy to get on with.
Before the course with blue monkey, I doubted myself and felt pretty much very intimidated by driving. However, by the end of the course with blue monkey, Tasha had turned me into a confident, safe and happy driver who managed to bag a first time pass! Worth every penny for sure :)

Student’s Mum

I cannot recommend Natasha enough! She was fantastic from start to finish. My daughter had a negative experience with another driving instructor and Natasha was brilliant in building Amy’s confidence and self belief. She went above and beyond and transformed her attitude towards driving. Amy loved every minute driving with Natasha and passed first time.

Transformative learning experience

My driving lesson experience with Natasha has been transformative. Before I began with Blue Monkey, my confidence in both myself and my driving abilities was at an all-time low.

Natasha and I started off with an intensive course, which later transitioned into weekly lessons. I always felt comfortable in the car, and when I made mistakes I slowly learnt to bounce back from them. And despite my initial doubts, I passed my test first time—an achievement I never thought possible. I am immensely grateful for the experience I've had, and I firmly believe that without the support and guidance I received, I wouldn't have my full license today.

Without hesitation, I would recommend them to anyone seeking driving lessons

If I could give 6 stars I would !

I couldn’t be more impressed with my experience. She is a lovely woman who helps with nervousness and helps build confidence within her students. Couldn’t have done it without her and can’t recommend her enough. She is perfect and you will pass your test with her 100%!

Outstanding at instructing and building confidence

Natasha gave lessons to my daughter, who had previously been taught by an instructor who knocked her confidence. She was helpfully honest in her early assessment of what my daughter needed to work on and immediately started restoring her confidence. With a combination of intensive and single lessons, and clear guidance to us about how we could support her, Natasha enabled her to pass. I would highly recommend Natasha not just for her instruction, but also for the way that she engages, informs and builds confidence. The proof is in the fact my youngest daughter is now learning with her too.

Natasha is an incredible driving instructor that I would recommend to anyone. After having a bad experience with a previous driving instructor, Natasha helped me become a confident and comfortable driver. I had a truly amazing experience with her.

Natasha is the best at what she does!

Natasha is an amazing instructor! After a pretty poor experience with an instructor in Birmingham, I booked a test in Cheltenham and took a last minute intensive course with Tasha. It was a breath of fresh air- Tasha is a very patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable driving instructor. I passed after 10hrs of instruction with her and now feel like a safe and confident driver on the roads.
