What We Offer
Driving Safely for Life
Once you have received your Driving Licence, you will need to obtain a licence check code to confirm your entitlement to drive. Please see the links below for further guidance.
Le Petit Driving School is based in Blackfield, in the heart of the New Forest, with lessons available throughout the Waterside and surrounding areas of Southampton. I provide Lessons, Mock tests and Practical Test preparation for the following test centre areas: Southampton, Lee-on-the-Solent, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Salisbury.
To give learners the most realistic experience possible, I’ve teamed up with other driving instructors from different schools to offer independent mock tests. These sessions help prepare you for driving with a stranger in the car, just like on the real test, and include a full written report to highlight strengths and areas for improvement. They’re also a great way to practise in a different area of Hampshire, helping you feel confident if you’re taking your test at a centre outside your usual learning routes.

If you would like to know more about the availability in your area, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Manual Driving Lessons
I specialise in coaching and know how to help pupils excel through a personalised, client-centred approach. Learning with me is fun, engaging, and memorable, using a variety of creative and ‘outside-the-box’ activities. My goal is to equip every learner not only with the practical and theoretical knowledge to pass their test, but also with the confidence and critical thinking skills needed to drive safely for life in today’s ever-changing road environment.
Theory Test Preparation
Working towards understanding the rules of the road and the theory of driving whilst you learn to drive has such a great impact on the progress made within driving lessons. To give you a helping hand, Le Petit Driving School, provides free access to Theory practice resources that you can use in the comfort of your own home on your computer or whilst you are out and about on your phone or tablet. If you would like a more bespoke approach, face to face or virtual support can be arranged.
Practical Test
When you are ready and the day arrives for you to take your practical test, Le Petit Driving School will ensure you are equipped for the day which includes the use of the driving school car, an hour of coaching before the test (This can involve anything you feel would benefit you, such as practicing the 'show me tell me' questions, practicing some driving skills or going for something to eat or drink to set you up with fuel for your body and mind) and travel to and from the test centre.

Approved Driving Instructor
“Teaching and coaching have always been my biggest passion and driving force. For nearly 8 years, I proudly worked as an Educator within the Ambulance Service, where safety was always paramount. Now, I bring that same dedication into driver training — using my knowledge, experience, and coaching skills to help people learn to drive safely for life.
I love meeting new people, empowering learners to achieve their goals, and making the learning journey enjoyable. I’m kind, patient, and approachable, with a calm, non-judgmental style that puts even the most nervous drivers at ease. With a fantastic pass rate and a supportive teaching approach, I aim to give every learner the confidence and skills they need to succeed on the road.”
