My latest review from Tamia Pinnock-Attfield whose hard work and commitment in her lessons paid off with a well deserved pass yesterday ๐Ÿš—

Donna has been such an amazing driving instructor over these past months. She has allowed me to feel comfortable and confident when driving and preparing for my test. Whilst also being super friendly and positive, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an instructor.

Thank you to Maia Thomas for this lovely review. Congratulations on your first time pass today! โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿš—

Such a good driving instructor as I managed to pass first time with confidence, from the first lesson to now you were both an instructor and a friend as every lesson I learnt something new and had a laugh as-well, I always felt confident in the ability to ask questions and by the time my test came by I knew you had taught me all I needed to know- Maia Thomas

๐Ÿš—Thanks to Donny Sargent for my latest review. Was an absolute pleasure โ˜บ๏ธ

Donna allowed me to get a quick grasp of driving with no experience before hand and was able to educate me above and beyond. Not only did she allow me to develop my practical driving but also helped me learn the theory side of practical tests such as โ€œshow me, tell meโ€ questions so that my final test can be as perfect as possible, minimising any faults. Couldnโ€™t thank Donna enough. 5/5 stars

Thanks to Maisie Davenport for these kind words. Fab job today! ๐Ÿš—

After having my confidence knocked previously with a different instructor, I was ready to give up, however I was recommended Donna, and was so glad as she was calm and positive and built my confidence back up. Donna made me feel comfortable in my driving and made me feel very prepared for my test. Iโ€™m pleased to say I passed first time and would throughly recommend Barton Driving School.

๐Ÿš™Iโ€™m blown away by my latest review from Doyle Sargent. Thank you ๐Ÿคฉ

You have been an extremely encouraging and positive instructor. Bringing both entertainment, fun and keeping the tutoring at a 10/10 level. it is clear to me that you are an amazing instructor, having both my sisters and myself all passing first time, thanks to your teaching. Thank you for your lesson, every penny was worth it. :)

More kind words from Freddie Duke who passed last week. Thanks Freddie ๐Ÿ˜Š

Would recommend the driving school to anyone, Donna never gave up on me helping me on my way through theory and practical test, always nice and polite and if you were ever unsure you never feel stupid for asking

๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš™ Congratulations to Thomas Ralph! Great result! Thanks for these kind words ๐Ÿš™๐Ÿš—

Donna was an amazing instructor, providing excellent lessons and support that helped me pass my practical test first try.

Thanks to Amelie Nicholson for this review. Iโ€™m so proud of her for never giving up! ๐Ÿš—

Donna Booker is a fantastic driving instructor. I've had her since I first started learning, and to the passing of my test. She has always been helpful, and great at teaching. Initially I was very intimidated by the aspects of driving, but Donna knew exactly how to push me into learning and building up my confidence with driving. Donna booked my tests, which has saved me a lot of hassle and frustration with the test booking system. Plus, when I felt that I wasn't ready for a test, she was happy to cancel and book another one for later on. When I passed my test, it was on a route that Donna had taken me on just a lesson ago.

Overall, I always felt comfortable with her, and I'm glad she was my instructor. Would recommend.

Congratulations to Zac Kent on his clean sheet pass ๐Ÿคฉ. Fantastic job! Thank you for this review.

I would thoroughly recommend Donna as a driving instructor. She is really patient and explains things really well. Pleased to say I passed 1st time with 0 minors thanks to Donnaโ€™s great teaching.

Thank you to Alice Copley for sending me this glowing review after Georgina passed her test last week ๐Ÿ˜Š

Donna was recommended to us by a few people whose teenagers Donna had taught.
My daughter and I were not sure how she would get on learning to drive as she does have a neurodiverse condition and this can make some tasks more challenging.
Donna's initial communications between herself and I were prompt and organised, and communication between Donna and my daughter was quickly established, so they could build a relationship before my daughter got into the car (arranging when lessons would be possible around time tables and availability etc).
Lessons were a positive experience from the start for my daughter and Donna and she was successful in passing her test first time.
Donna is clearly a very good teacher, very professional, very thorough and my daughter found Donna to be very understanding of how she processes information.
I would highly recommend Donna, as would my daughter

Congratulations to Ben Smith for his clean sheet pass last week! Thanks for these kind words ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks so much for being an amazing driving Instructor, without you I wouldnโ€™t have passed first time with 0 faults. You really settled my nerves and put in extra time for me near my test to help reassure me. I would definitely recommend Donna if you want to pass first time.

01/10/2023

Will miss my weekly catch up with Neve Watson too! Another well deserved first time pass ๐Ÿš—

I canโ€™t recommend Donna enough, she is highly reliable, friendly and explains everything excellently. Without her I wouldnโ€™t have passed first time within 6 months, Donna made learning to drive an enjoyable experience. Iโ€™ll miss my weekly lessons ๐Ÿ˜‚

30/09/2023

Thank you to Beth Malcomber for this review. You so deserved your first time pass ๐Ÿ˜Š

To anyone looking for a driving instructor in the future I would definitely recommend Donna. She really went the extra mile for me, especially when I needed more help, and it was down to her that I managed to pass first time. Thank you Donna!

21/08/2023

Thanks to James Tyler for this message this morning. Nice way to start the week ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks to Harrison Thompson who took the time to send me this after he passed last week ๐Ÿ˜Š

I would definitely recommend Donnaโ€™s Barton driving school for anyone who is looking to get out on the roads and pick up great tips and experience and pass in a good amount of time. She is an amazing driving instructor with a great level of patience. When I was learning I struggled with planning ahead and road signs, Donna gave me loads of tips in order to improve this in no time and due to her great teaching I passed my test first time !๐Ÿš˜

Thanks to James Dickenson for sending me this wonderful review of his lessons with me.

I starting learning with Donna at Barton driving school at the end of October. Donna was absolutely amazing she was clear and very patient throughout every lesson but most importantly didnโ€™t rush anything and took things steady, but at a good pace making sure that everything is taught correctly and making you the best driver possible to pass your test and ensuring you are a safe driver after your test aswell. Every lesson there were new teaching points and refreshers from previous lessons making learning very easy with Donna. She is also extremely organised and always on time aswell as being a lovely calm person throughout every lesson. Every lesson was amazing and Donna is truly one of the best driving instructors you can find anywhere. I passed at the start of March 2023 first time and have Donna to thank for that. Couldnโ€™t recommend a better instructor.

14/03/2023

Well done to Joe Hester for his clean sheet pass ๐Ÿ˜Š

Highly recommend Donna as she helped me pass my driving test in just over 5 months and is a lovely woman too. Donna is very good at her job as I passed first time with no minors! Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to pass their test first time without having to wait too long for the test either. Thank you Donna!! Couldnโ€™t be happier.

05/03/2023

Really appreciate it when my pupils are happy to send me a review to share. This one is from Oliver Trembecki who passed a couple of weeks ago.

She was helpful and good at organising lessons that fit well in my schedule and was easy to communicate with, whilst helping me improve on areas I was struggling to help me pass first time.

Thanks to Jessica Church for my latest review๐Ÿ˜Š

Highly recommend Barton Driving School! Donna is extremely patient, understanding, chatty and overall a great instructor! Helped me pass first time which I still canโ€™t believe! Donna is so encouraging and finds great ways of explaining road safety to ensure I understood!

Thanks to Hannah Bastick for this fab review. Another happy customer ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš™

Donna is a lovely and knowledgeable driving instructor. She really helped me to be able to understand certain things in driving even if it meant her thinking of different ways to explain it to me so I would get it! She really does have your best interests at heart and helps with getting tests earlier than you expected if youโ€™re ready for it. Overall Donna is just a great person to be around as a driving instructor because sheโ€™s so talkative but also gives you so much knowledge on each lesson. She makes you feel comfortable and I wouldnโ€™t of had any other driving instructor!

02/11/2022

I do love my job! ๐Ÿ™‚

I had Donna as my driving instructor and managed to pass my driving test with zero minors. She was very easy to talk to which made it helpful when I needed help with certain things and always communicated and made it very clear what I needed to work on. Always encouraged me when I wasnโ€™t confident in myself and was always asking if I needed anything to ensure I felt the most comfortable when my test was upcoming. I appreciate everything Donna did for me and for being an amazing instructor! Thank you so much, Lilly Smith.
