Hi I’m Charlotte, I’ve recently become a driving instructor so I can give people the same excitement and freedom of learning to drive that I felt when I was 17. Nothing beats that feeling of independence once you pass, especially when you live in rural Dorset like me.

My path to the passenger seat might surprise you — I actually went to university and earned a degree in Veterinary Nursing. While I ultimately decided to channel my passion for coaching into helping people master the roads, my time in clinical practice gave me a unique set of skills that directly benefits my students.

In veterinary nursing, you have to stay absolutely calm in high-stress environments, read subtle behavioural cues, and anticipate hazards before they happen, which is exactly what I need to make you a safe driver. In my spare time I’m most likely fixing or cleaning my bright orange ford focus ST that’s constantly got an issue or playing on my Ps5 with some friends.
