Lisa Reed

Yes. I welcome complete beginners and will guide you through every stage of learning to drive.

We will begin with the basic controls and gradually progress as your confidence and driving ability develop.

Absolutely. Many of my pupils begin lessons feeling anxious or lacking confidence.

My calm and patient approach helps you relax, understand what is happening and progress without feeling rushed or under pressure.

You will learn in a Ford B-Max Titanium Navigator manual car.

It offers excellent visibility, a comfortable driving position and responsive controls, making it an ideal car for learners.

Yes. Where helpful, I use an iPad, diagrams and visual road layouts to explain junctions, roundabouts, manoeuvres and more complicated driving situations.

I provide manual driving lessons throughout Chelmsford and the surrounding areas.

Every learner is different. The number of lessons you need will depend on your previous experience, confidence, ability and whether you can practise privately between lessons.

I will regularly review your progress and clearly explain what you need to work on before taking your driving test.

“I did 15 weeks of intensive driving lessons with driving instructor Lisa Reed. She helped me get rid of some old habits. I was taught how to really drive properly by Lisa, showing me road signs, what they mean and how to approach roundabouts. I recommend Lisa Reed for everyone who wants to learn how to drive and also be safe on the road.”

“Compared to when a sibling learnt to drive a few years ago with a competitor company, the experience of my daughter learning to drive with Lisa Alabaster at Supreme was seamless from start to finish. From beginning the lessons, which were always allocated at a convenient time and location fitting in around school, to undertaking mock driving tests with other instructors which allowed for alternative constructive criticism, to booking her driving test well in advance so that as a parent you did not get embroiled in the chaos of trying to book a test online and finding a long waiting list.

This culminated in her achieving a recent first-time pass with no minors in the timescale of approximately five months, of which we were exceptionally proud. I cannot rate Supreme School of Motoring highly enough and would certainly recommend Lisa as a friendly, helpful and very competent driving instructor.”

I passed my driving test first time, and I honestly could not have done it without Lisa’s help.

She was a wonderful instructor: very patient, supportive and clear in every lesson.

Her sessions were always helpful and gave me the confidence I needed for the test.

Thank you so much, Lisa, for all your guidance and patience. I highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive.

Lisa was a great instructor and made my daughter feel completely at ease.

Communication was excellent, and Lisa also used her iPad to explain situations and help build confidence.

She taught and corrected things that a previous instructor had missed.

My daughter passed first time with only two driving faults. We could not have asked for a better instructor.

Lisa is a fantastic teacher.

She really understood my daughter and used exactly the right approach to help her succeed.

My daughter passed first time and I would highly recommend Lisa.

— Karen Matthews

I started manual driving lessons with Lisa and passed first time.

Throughout every lesson, she was patient and supportive and gave clear feedback while helping me recognise the smaller areas I could improve.

Lisa’s calm approach made me feel comfortable behind the wheel, and she always took the time to explain anything I was unsure about.

The mock tests with other Supreme instructors helped build my confidence and made the real driving test feel much more familiar.

I would highly recommend learning with Lisa and Supreme.

I have just passed my driving test and honestly could not have done it without Lisa.

We have been on a long journey together, and she was patient, kind and always believed in me, even when I did not believe in myself.

Lisa went above and beyond at every stage and always made me feel supported and encouraged.

She is the best instructor I could have asked for.

Lisa is simply amazing.

Our daughter Gabriella was anxious about learning to drive, but Lisa’s calm, patient and encouraging approach quickly gave her confidence.

Gabriella began having never driven before and passed her test first time six months later.

Watching her confidence grow was wonderful. We cannot recommend Lisa highly enough.

— Marianna Odysseos

Thank you so much to Lisa for all her help with Sophia’s driving lessons.

From the first lesson, it was clear that Lisa was knowledgeable, friendly and approachable.

Her teaching style made Sophia feel comfortable and confident, and communication about her progress was excellent.

Lisa also gave valuable advice for private practice, helping the whole family understand how to support Sophia.

Thanks to Lisa’s expertise and dedication, Sophia passed with zero driving faults.

— Rachel Mitchell

I passed my test first time despite having very little confidence beforehand.

Lisa was calm, patient and reassuring throughout every lesson and gave me so much confidence from the time I started learning.

I honestly had the best learning experience with her and would recommend Lisa 1000%.

— Katie Underwood

Lisa has been fantastic from the very beginning.

She guided my daughter through applying for her provisional licence, her theory test and her practical driving test.

Lessons were arranged in advance and fitted around the school day.

Charlotte passed first time with no driving faults and could not have done it without Lisa’s wonderful teaching.

— Debbie Clayden

She always pushed me to do my best and helped me learn positively from my mistakes.

She was patient and put in so much effort to help me progress.

Thanks to Lisa, I passed first time with no driving faults.

Lisa was absolutely brilliant and made learning to drive seem easy.

She gave clear instructions and had a calm confidence that helped me trust myself behind the wheel.

She used interactive maps, diagrams and other visual aids to explain each lesson clearly.

After every lesson, she recorded my progress and explained what needed improvement.

I passed first time and could not have done it without her.

— Campbell McLay-Kidd

As a late starter to driving, I cannot do justice to how good Lisa has been.

She supported me from my first lesson all the way through to passing first time.

Lisa was kind, flexible and supportive, fitting lessons around my work and other commitments.

I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of learning to drive.
