I had multiple lessons with Santi and honestly can’t recommend her enough! She’s an incredibly patient and calm instructor who made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her clear explanations and practical tips helped me improve so much – especially with roundabouts, parking, and making sure I knew all the rules and required checks. Santi never rushed the lessons and always made sure I understood everything before moving on. I passed my test thanks to her excellent guidance!
Great experience! Julia and Santi were patient, clear, and super helpful. Thanks to them I felt confident and ready for the test. Highly recommend this driving school!
I had classes with Santi – she’s an amazing instructor, very patient, and makes driving feel easy. She really helped me gain confidence and prepare well for the test!
Absolutely amazing in every way, Julia is a highly skilled and passionate professional from the get go. She was able to almost immediately establish a friendly, calm and relaxed rapport with my anxious ‘Learner’ driver teen. Her knowledge, skill set and calm instructions allowed for his nerves to be steadied and a very positive driving lesson experience. Highly, highly recommend!
Santi was very patient, clear, and supportive throughout the lessons. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made me feel confident behind the wheel. I really appreciated her calm approach and the tips she shared, which helped me improve quickly. I’d highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive.
I recently took a manual driving lesson with Julia, and it was a fantastic experience. She was enthusiastic, patient, and explained everything clearly. Her examples really helped me understand the concepts, and she made the whole learning process much more approachable. I felt more confident behind the wheel after just one session. Highly recommend!
I 100% recommend Accelerated Academy coming from someone who has held previous instructors before. I have never felt more confident and safe with my driving before and I’m improving so much. You won’t find better trust 🙏🏻
I’ve had a great experience with Julia, she’s great at explaining things and good at understanding what I need to work on. I’ll be recommending these guys to anybody who needs driving lessons !
I had a great experience with Santi. She’s very calm, patient, and explains everything clearly. Her instructions are easy to follow and they really helped me understand things better. 10/10!!
I have a good experience of learning how to drive here!! Especially if you are looking for female teacher. Santi is very calm and well-explained of what i don’t understand. Driving could be much easier with a good teacher!
Absolutely fantastic experience with Santi! Her patience is truly remarkable, and she has a gift for teaching. The skills they taught me were spot-on and incredibly effective. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is both patient and highly skilled, look no further!
Accelerated Academy has truly been an incredible experience from start to finish. Julia and Santi are absolute gems — professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their calm, supportive teaching style gave me so much confidence behind the wheel, and they made every lesson something I looked forward to.
Both Julia and Santi have a way of explaining things so clearly, and they always make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and empowered. They don’t just prepare you to pass the test — they teach you how to be a skilled and confident driver for life.
If you’re looking for a driving school that’s not only top-notch but also warm, friendly, and truly invested in your success, I couldn’t recommend Accelerated Academy more highly. Thank you both for everything!
