About Annette

She has a gentle, positive approach and teaches in both manual and automatic vehicles, using a Hyundai i10 with dual controls so you can learn safely and comfortably. Her lessons are relaxed and methodical, helping you build confidence through clear, patient instruction that suits how you learn best. Annette is especially good with nervous learners, pupils with ASD, and people coming back to driving after a break. She offers refresher lessons and evening bookings to fit around busy lives.

Her students often mention how she helps them believe in themselves and achieve first-time passes. Annette focuses on real-world skills and safety, and she finishes each lesson with simple learning and summary points so you know exactly how you are getting on. She covers Fareham, Gosport, Lee-on-Solent, Havant and nearby areas, so she is a great local option if you live there. She also offers motorway lessons and Pass Plus courses to help you move from lessons to driving on your own with confidence.

What learners say about Annette

★★★★★Maddie

Genuinely couldn't have asked for a better instructor. I was so scared to learn and had put it off for years. Annette made me feel calm and now confident. As someone with ASD I often find verbal instruction quite difficult but Annette is clear, patient and reassuring. She found other ways to show me; whether that was demo-driving to help me visually connect instruction with motion, or wheeling little toy cars on a drawing of a roundabout to help me visualise what was going on. While I felt challenged, I never felt overwhelmed and the pace was just right for my style of learning. Rapidly I went from feeling scared to really enjoying my lessons and ended up with a pass first time to top it off. It didn't stop after the test though, Annette has also continued lessons to help me move towards independent driving in a way that suits me. I learned to trust Annette when driving and now she is teaching me that I have the ability to trust myself. We continued to reinforce and practice until I had my own car. Then Annette supported my transition to a new vehicle, finding new controls and reference points. Now I am comfortable, we are working on motorways and practising routes to places I would go often so I can begin to make the most of my newfound skill and independence. I cannot thank Annette enough for teaching me something that a year ago I never thought I would be able to do, and having a good laugh while doing it.

★★★★★Padraig O'Sullivan

A great success with AnitaPass by Annette Mchugh. I was well prepared and confident after taking lessons with Annette. Truly a wonderful and expert driving instructor. Having had numerous lessons with other instructors and failing my manual exam, I believed I would never drive a manual car. However meeting Annette and booking with AnitaPass, my confidence grew and grew after each lesson.Annette is such a professional but also a fantastic personality. Her sense of humour and manner is second to none. She will put you at ease instantly and has great instructions. You will get constant advice and tips while driving and motivates you on points of improvement. Annette is methodical on teaching objectives and after each lesson you feel you have practiced and perfected a new driving skill. But I think above all, Annette is fun loving and will have you smiling and feeling relaxed throughout your driving experience. By my own experience and having failed with other instructors, i can not recommend highly enough how good Annette is as an instructor. AnitaPass is the best! Annette, thank you so much for your teaching and expertise. You are an awesome lady. Thank you for the freedom you have given me to drive in confidence!

Annette of Anitapass has such a relaxed and friendly attitude towards teaching, I felt comfortable every time I stepped in the car. As I was not initially confident when driving, Annette let me move at my own pace, while always encouraging me to overcome challenges.She really helped me to improve by explaining how the car worked and how I could change how I was driving to make it easier and safer. When I first sat in the car, I didn't think I would ever pass but learning to drive with AnitaPass has given me so much confidence and I was very happy to pass first time. Thank you Annette!
