I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone who is considering embarking on the journey of becoming a driving instructor, she is a highly experienced and dedicated professional who will go above and beyond to ensure you achieve success. I feel so lucky that I found her and the supportive team at Xcel Driver Training, as together they helped me pass the part 1, 2 and 3 ADI exams (first attempt) over a 6-month period.

It has been a pleasure to be taught by Rachel who is so patient, encouraging and a real inspiration… she reminded me how you can truly achieve, when you believe in yourself.

I can’t thank Rachel enough ! The time and commitment Rachel has invested in me is incredible. My ADI journey through Covid with stops and starts has been challenging. However, Rachel’s positive attitude and belief in me has been amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of our lessons and looked forward to each one. I will miss having chats and laughs ! I have learnt so much and Rachel has gone above and beyond to help me. I would thoroughly recommend Rachel to anyone. The BEST ADI instructor out there ! Thank you so much Rachel. I am looking forward to the future ! 🚗🚗🚗🚗

After being caught speeding, I was advised by my solicitor to attend a pre-court driver improvement course. Rachel came highly recommended, so I called her to book in.
The whole process from booking, to attending was easy. I was slightly anxious before attending as I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Rachel put me at ease. I learnt a lot of tips and tricks for how to be a better road user. I feel more confident after my session that I can make some changes and be a better driver.
I would recommend Rachel to anyone, I thoroughly enjoyed my session with her.

I would very highly recommend Steve Maguire as a driving instructor. He really helped me to overcome my obstacles with driving and always gives the most for his students. I passed my test on Tuesday thanks to his help and am very grateful for that, again would highly recommend and he is a lovely and kind person as well and very patient. Thanks Steve!

ATTENTION!!!!!! If you really want to become an ADI Rachel is the lady to train with. I enquired about training just prior to Covid hitting and eventually met her 6 months later. I trained with her for all 3 parts to get my ADI Licence. Rachel has been there every step of the way, she has dragged me back from the depths of despair both through the training process, which due to Covid there were many and personally. I can not recommend her highly enough. I passed all 3 elements on my first attempt, i believe i owe this to Rachels in depth knowledge and support. Rachel passionately wants you to achieve and this shows through her training. With Rachel by your side you will become the very best version of yourself. Rachel has an amazing sense of humour and your training will be in no way boring!!! We have laughed and cried and i cant thank her enough for completely transforming my life! Rachel gave me confidence to believe in myself and i've been rewarded for that with my green badge!

If you are at any stage of a career as an ADI, look no further for help on your journey.

Rachel has the knowledge, experience, and all round amazingness to open your eyes to this wonderful job in an exciting and enjoyable way. She is so obviously passionate about what she does, and cares deeply about making sure you achieve your best possible result.

I came to Xcel having failed my standards checks due to social anxiety, and in the position of re-qualifying all over again. I WISH I HAD GONE TO THEM SOONER! Rachel took what I already knew and reframed it perfectly, while helping me work past the doubts I had in myself and deliver even better lessons for my pupils in a client centred way.

Whether you’re just starting, approaching a standard check, or looking for professional development, you will not find a better person or company to work with. DO IT NOW! 🥰

I have just completed a few weeks refreshing my driving skills with Xcel Driver Training and Melanie Clements. The experience has been fantastic as Melanie has been pleasant, helpful, patient and understanding all the way. I would highly recommend Melanie for either a beginner to driving or anyone wishing to refresh their driving skills. I know i will certainly miss my weekly drive but am more confident now in our car.

I am 28 years old and have done years of stop/start driving lessons with multiple instructors! I came across many who were unreliable, inconsistent etc. However Steve was perfect for the job. He had patience and was extremely good at describing things to me. I used to get very bored doing lessons and nothing seemed to go in. Steve changed all that and had me passed first time with 3 minors in quite a short period of time! He is firm but fair and if you make any misjudgement or mistake he will break things down and explain the reasoning behind it. He made me feel comfortable at all times and he really knows his stuff. He is professional, honest and reliable and always made time to work round my schedule wherever he could. A really great instructor who has changed my life most definitely. I don’t think I could have done it without him.
