Driving with Sue was ALWAYS a laugh, and I always looked forward to my Monday morning lessons because of this.
My lessons had such variety; I was able to drive in ALL weather conditions, drive in many different places and was exposed to loads of different, difficult situations which I will face when driving in the future; Sue taught me how to cope with these situations and to give me confidence when I face them in future.
I met loads of new people, Tim, Tom, Bob and Little Johnny who I will stay in contact with. ;)
So I just want to say THANK YOU SUE, and see you at Pass Plus! :)

It was a really good pass plus course. Sue was a great instructor and very helpful with her teaching. She made me feel comfortable and i now feel a much more confident driver.

Thanks very much Sue for teaching me to drive safely and giving me the confidence I needed to pass my test 1st time. My Grandad introduced me to Sue – he had been on tractor road runs with her and knew that my family’s main concern was my safety on any road! Sue’s lessons were fun, the way she teaches built up my confidence to drive in any conditions, on any type of road and cope with any situation that might materialise anywhere around me. Sue’s patience and professionalism makes me feel prepared for the future – look forward to seeing you on “Pass Plus” Sue

As a result of previous bad driving experiences, when I came to Sue I had become a really nervous driver - thankfully, she built my confidence back up really quickly and I started to enjoy driving! Sue is hilarious, great to talk to, and she taught at my pace - and once I started enjoying driving lessons my driving improved massively! Sue's main focus was always on driving safely and seeing things, so I soon realised there was nothing to be nervous about if I drove carefully, saw things and reacted to them. Because of that I absolutely love driving now; I can keep calm and make decisions when I’m out on my own - with Sue you really learn driving skills for life and not just ‘how to pass your test’. My lessons also helped me to be positive - and with my new Sue-induced positive attitude I passed my test first time - something that seemed impossible a few months ago! :) Thank you so much Sue! xx

Thank you very much for the lessons, they were made interesting by stories of "Rupert" and "Little Johnny" and helped me put driving in perspective. I looked forward to the lessons, which helped me make progress quicker, and because we completed the manoevres in a short space of time it meant I had a lot of practise before test. Having two hour lessons was also really good so I could get into the drive and we had time to go through everything each time. Teaching methods were great and really easy to remember. Loved the Mini and quite honestly, missing it very much!!!!!

Thanks for everything Sue

Sue is a brilliant teacher and also a other figure too at times! I could tell her anything and did and she always kept it quiet! I loved every lesson with highlights being 'totty spotting' when the sun was out and going to McDonalds for SMTM questions. I wouldnt have been able to pass without her let alone with 0 minors and I couldnt speak highly enough of her teaching skill and bubbly personality! The same can be said for Nicola who filled in a few times with me and was much the same! All my love xxxx

Becki is a great driving instructor. She has a relaxed attitude, and is really easy to talk to. You can always have a laugh and a joke, but she doesn’t allow this to distract you from your learning. She is always aware of what is going on around you; keeping you safe at all times. She will work to the pace at which you feel comfortable and will only book you in for your test when both you and her feel you are ready. I am glad to say, I passed first time, with only 3 minors.
Before your first lesson, you will be given a folder with all the relevant paperwork, where you can keep your paper licence, theory test certificate, and any other documents.
I have really enjoyed my lessons with Becki, and can’t wait to do my Pass Plus with her. I will really miss her when I have completed it, and recommend Becki along with Toad’s School of Driving to anyone who is looking for a kind and friendly female instructor.
Thanks you so much Becki.

Sue is the ideal driving instructor. She inspires confidence and makes sure that you have enough experience of driving in all sorts of different weather conditions and on various types of road. Sue is patient, and never loses her rag!
I enjoyed my lessons a lot, and looked forward to them every week, I was confident to pass first time after my course of lessons with her, and I did.
I really would recommend her and The Toads School of Driving.

Thanks for everything, I was SOO nervous with the driving to begin with and you managed to turn me into a safe and confident driver. You never rushed me into doing anything and always took everything at my pace. You made my lessons fun and enjoyable which made me always look forward to them. We booked my test only when I felt ready and I passed first time!! YAY

I was very apprehensive about learning to drive before my first lesson, however Sue put me at ease as soon as I got in her amazing Mini! Not only is she an exceptional teacher but she soon became one of my good friends. She makes each and every lesson so much fun and I came away from each of my lessons feeling more and more confident. Her teaching techniques are very effective but at the same time definitely NOT boring! I would recommend Sue Papworth to anyone as she not only helped me to pass my test first time, but also taught me the skills needed to drive safely for life! Thank you so much Sue!

Susan Papworth,where do I begin?

I first sat behind the wheel only 16weeks ago (including the two cancelled lessons for personal reasons), and passed with only the ONE STUPID minor. Incredible. However, after driving with you Sue, I have learnt so much more than just how to drive a car. I can't even begin to thank you enough Sue, about how much you have taught me but here's ago; Thank you so much and I am very much looking forward to my pass plus with 'The One And Only Toad'.

Many Thanks,

Having had a bad experience with my previous instructor, I was ready to give up on driving until I heard about Toad's School of Driving, and thought I'd give it another try- this was the BEST decision I have ever made!! Not only did I pass my test first time with only 2 minors, Sue has taught me invaluable lessons on how to enjoy and make the most of driving whilst staying safe at the same time. Sue takes into consideration every single aspect of driving and your personality - not just passing your test like larger driving schools. Sue Papworth has boosted my confidence to no end and I will be eternally greatful!! THANK YOU! xxxxxxxx" Mel xxx

I always looked forward to having my driving lessons with Sue, unlike some of my friends who dread their driving lessons with other instructors! She makes them fun and you learn so much each one you have. She doesn't just teach you to pass your test, she teaches you how to be a good driver. I passed my test with no minors, which was totally down to her amazing teaching! Sue is the best driving instructor ever! THANK YOU! XXXXX

Sue is the GREATEST teacher ever and her lessons are really good fun. I wouldn't have had anywhere near as much fun with anyone else and she really puts a smile on your face. I passed first time with not many hours spent on lessons, therefore I thank her for saving me money and showing that she works at a pace you want to learn at.

I really don't think I could have done that with any other teacher. If anyone is reading this that is thinking of learning to drive, I really recommend Sue Papworth. She doesn't teach you just how to pass your test, she teaches you how to drive in the real world and will take you to lots of different places, so you can gain knowledge of everyday driving and situations. She will talk to you about anything you want and she is a very friendly lady; she is just like a mother protecting you and doing the best to support you.

Love u lots Jamie

I really loved learning to drive with Sue. From the first lesson I was made to feel very comfortable and was always confident that I was in good hands! I learned so many things with Sue which I know none of my friends learned with their instructors such as map reading. I also gained lots of experience driving outside of town in difficult and unusual situations and so now feel that I can confidently tackle any situation independently. I always had a great laugh with Sue, she made my driving lessons something to look forward to and I already miss them. Ellie

After my 17th birthday I decided it was time for some driving lessons, I had been told that Toad's School of Driving was a good company to learn with so I though this is who I would go with. I began having lessons with Becky but as my work days change it was difficult for Becky to fit me in, so Sue then took over and got me through my test. They were both very good instructors.
If like me, you have difficulty passing,Toad's School of Driving will make sure you pass by giving the help, support and encouragment that you need to get you through.
I have had a fun and worthwhile experience and I would recommend Toad's School of Driving to anyone.

From Sue’s amazing teaching skills, I managed to pass my driving test 1st time with just 2 minor faults. Over the moon would be an understatement! I used to look forward to every driving lesson, even the 7am starters! Sue managed to make all my driving lessons sooo fun and “real” – experiencing new roads, routes and techniques every lesson! Within the 1st couple of hours of driving, my confidence increased dramatically. I would certainly recommend Toad’s School of Driving, if you are looking for a fun, enjoyable and reliable way of learning how to drive properly.

Since my first driving lesson with Sue, I have never laughed so much in my life. I have the best time in my lessons, and have not only come out with a qualification to drive, but a lifetime experience. Toads Driving School taught me so much, and they don’t just teach you ‘how to pass your test’ but they actually teach you how to drive. It’s been the best experience I have had and I’m so sad to be leaving my lessons with Sue and actually driving on my own!! But I can honestly say every lesson I learnt something new, every lesson I looked forward to, and every lesson was worth while. Sue has taught me the most valuable skill you could ever have – how to drive safely :-) :-), and it was all down to her that I passed my driving test first time. So thank you so much Sue Papworth, and Toads School of Driving!! Laura

Sue help me pass my test in a very short period showing that she works at a pace you want to learn at. She was very relaxed while teaching and made every lesson a fun fulled one, I always looked forward to the next lesson. She always showed up on time and never let me down once. She was also very patient when teaching especially when you find some things hard to do and always has a unique way of doing them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn how to drive as well as keeping safe on the road. I know that she is capable of teaching anyone no matter how good or bad your driving is or how confident you are. I will miss her very much but I know that I will remember her every time I get into the car.

She will talk to you about anything you want as she is a very friendly, out going person so if you need some driving lessons, HAVE SUE! she's great :) so thank you very much and good luck with your teaching

Sue Papworth is the best teacher anyone could ask for ! She makes every lesson fun and enjoyable and unlike other teachers, she doesnt teach you to pass your test but how to drive safely for life. I passed, first time, with 2 minor driving faults, which I was very happy with.
I recommend Sue to anyone who wants a friendly, out going person that loves a laugh and wants to be taught in a fun way. She will ensure that you won't be rushed as everyone learns in their own way and needs a different amount of time. The highlight of my lessons must be when I got to drive back from Hunstanton as my friend drove there in their lesson. She also bought us lunch !!!
