Surbiton Driving Instructor

Michaela Tasgal Hi, my name is Michaela Tasgal and I’ve been in the driving instructor industry since 1999.

I trained to be a driving instructor with BSM, and qualified with my DSA ADI qualification in August 1999.

Whilst working for BSM driving school, I became the senior driving instructor. In 2003, I started to get involved in driving instructor training and gained my DSA ORDIT (Official Register for Driving Instructor Training).

In 2004, I got promoted to become driving instructor trainer for the north west where I was then doing driving instructor training full time.

In the meantime, I also gained an NVQ level 3 in driving instruction.

In 2008, after 9 happy and successful years at BSM, I moved from Manchester to Surbiton, Surrey, and fulfilled my ambition by setting up Michaela’s School of Motoring.

When you train to be an instructor with me, it will be an enjoyable learning experience, with my up – to – date and easy to understand driving instructor training methods.

My previous PDIs have described me and my instructing as "thorough", "having high standards", "patient", "firm but friendly" and "calm".

spacer Michaela is a brilliant driving instructor! She was so patient and explained everything so well that it made learning how to drive a really fun experience. And although at first the idea of driving was quite intimidating, Michaela helped me learn how to drive correctly whilst staying calm and anticipating what the other drivers around were going to do. I passed first time today after just 2 months of being taught from scratch by Michaela. And I know if i'd have been taught by someone else the experience would not have been as much fun, and my driving probably wouldn’t have been at such a high standard! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn to drive with someone who treats them as a real friend instead of a pupil. So thanks Michaela! I'll miss my driving lessons in Surbiton with you :-)

spacer Michaela has been the most fantastic female driving instructor ever! She was just so patient and she never belittled me for any mistake I made and constantly made sure I was happy with her teaching and understood everything! After my last driving instructor, I was not at all confident about my driving but Michaela's belief and excellent teaching renewed my confidence and I have now finally passed my test! Frankly I am just annoyed I didn't find her first! I would recommend Michaela to anyone because she's not only a fantastic female driving instructor but also one of the nicest people I have ever met! Thanks Michaela for everything!

spacer Michaela is definitely the best driving instructor anyone could hope for! I have just passed my test first time, and I’m sure it was all down to her positive attitude and enthusiasm for driving. I was quite nervous at first, but now I am extremely confident on the roads, and even in my reverse parking! She is extremely thorough in her teaching, and made my Surbiton driving lessons enjoyable! Thanks again Michaela!

spacer I didn't think I could ever pass my driving test until I had driving lessons with Michaela!! I had lost all confidence in learning to drive after bad experiences with previous driving instructors and hadn't had a driving lesson in 5 years. Michaela persuaded me to try a lesson with her and just 3 months later I have passed my driving test 1st time. Michaela's reassurance and confidence in me helped so much, I couldn't have done it with out her. Very highly recommended instructor!
