About Claire

Claire is a DVSA-approved driving instructor with Apex Driving School, which has been teaching learners in Croydon and the surrounding areas since 1992. She has years of experience with students of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to those getting ready for their practical test. Claire is patient, friendly and calm, and she lets each learner progress at a pace that feels comfortable but still gets results. She teaches in both manual and automatic dual-controlled cars, which are kept in great condition for safety and comfort.

My driving instructor Claire was really friendly and patient with me. Thanks to her and Apex i am free to drive everywhere. Further more i now can get that company car promised to me. " "My driving instructors was really friendly and patient with me. The amount of money for each lesson is well within reason at under £20!. Thanks for all your help and getting me through my test!" Doug "I was learning to drive with another driving school, when a friend told me about how much cheaper his lessons were compared with mine. I am very glad that i changed to apex driving school, my driving instructor was so calm and relaxed, it made me feel at ease. I passed my test within 5 weeks of changing. I also completed my pass plus, which saved me just under 500 pounds on my car insurance. Thank you" Louise "I would like to take this opportunity to thank my driving instructor for getting me through my test first time. I had been learning with another school for a year. Then swapped to Apex, thank god I did. Thanks Apex!!" Marcus
