My daughter had a rocky start to her driving journey with an instructor who was not very patient, was critical and who would shout! Cheryl was a breath of fresh air - kind, patient, informative and knowledgeable- my daughter was soon a confident learner who was eager to practice and looked forward to her lessons and no longer dreaded them. I would not hesitate to recommend Cheryl to anyone who is looking for a great, patient and friendly instructor.

I had a bumpy start to learning to drive with two other driving instructors previous to Cheryl, one who was not very patient and rude and another who was not able to give me a regular driving slot. Cheryl helped me become a confident and good driver. She was always patient and nice, and our lessons would always be a laugh that I always looked forward to! It's safe to say I will thoroughly miss our lessons but happy she helped me gain the freedom I have now. I'd recommend Cheryl to anyone as she was amazing! Thank you again.
Thank you to Cheryl for helping me pass my driving test. Always felt in a chilled out environment and couldn't have asked for a more easy going instructor, was never a problem if I had any questions or felt uneasy about anything and went out of her way and sent me a few little tips on test day to calm the nerves . Brilliant driving instructor and person. Thanks for helping me get on the road Cheryl 👌🏻👍 Dan Hamil
I have had the pleasure of Cheryl teaching 2 of my children to drive, both have turned out to be very confident drivers thanks to Cheryl. Not only is she a great instructor but she also has a great knowledge of the test process and test routes which was a great help on test day. After each lesson Cheryl would provide feedback and suggest areas to practice while out driving with us, she would also suggest routes to take in and around Maidstone. I would not hesitate to recommend Cheryl Simone Middleton
Cheryl was always patient, made sure I understood everything and never rushed me, made me feel comfortable and explained things very clearly, would highly recommend
Very friendly, very patient, and always took the time to make sure that I understood what was happening before we did anything. It was a pleasure to be taught by Cheryl. Thanks to Cheryl I passed the theory and the practical first time. I would highly recommend Turning Point to anyone looking to learn to drive! 👍🏻 Daniel
