I can't imagine I would have been able to pass my test with anyone other than Fiona! She is an excellent driving instructor that really helped me build by confidence in my own abilities & become a safe driver. She helped me correct a lot of bad driving habits I had picked up over the years and always found different methods to teach if one way was not working. I found the written up notes invaluable as they highlighted weaknesses but also made me feel very confident in how far I had come and progressed. A massive thank you to Fiona - if you're looking for a patient & kind driving instructor, I couldn't recommend her any more!! 🌟

About Fiona
Hi, I'm Fiona. I've been driving for over 30 years and I'm a qualified driving instructor based in Shepton Mallet. I run Star Drivers, and I focus on preparing new drivers to be safe on the roads ahead. I train them in the safest driving methods and skills, so they're more than ready to pass their driving test.
I believe the student is the priority when learning to drive. People learn in different ways, so I adapt my teaching methods to make driving more enjoyable and helpful. I offer lessons in 2 hour slots, and I cover the BA4 postal area. My aim is to make all lessons enjoyable and purposeful, teaching independence and confidence while creating safe driving skills for life.

I had the best experience learning to drive with Fiona. She was calm and patient with me from the start. She helped me to gain more and more confidence each lesson and always encouraged me to keep trying when I found things difficult. I would 100% recommend learning to drive with Fiona at star driver!
I would highly recommend Fiona at Star Drivers as a driving instructor as she is very patient, makes you feel calm, but encourages you to keep improving. Fiona provides super helpful tips for passing your driving test, and to drive as safely as possible. I 100% recommend!
Fiona wasn't my first instructor but definitely my last , really easy to get along with ... having had my confidence knocked with other instructors Fiona was amazing at not only building it up again but making me a safe driver too !!!she also sends notes after each lesson telling you what went well / things to improve and next lesson plans ... this is so helpful and clear of what you need to do to get better - First time pass with her !! Can't thank you enough ❤️
Fantastic learning experience with Fiona. She is calm, methodical and friendly. Each lesson you'll revieve a breakdown of the lesson, including what went well and what area/s which could be improved apon, which massively helps when learning the road and building confidence. She is always willing to help with any concerns whether it be driving or nerves. I'd highly recommend Star drivers to anyone, it's been a fun learning to drive again, and I was able to pass first time thanks to Fiona 🙂
