What our students say
Chelsey
I had Patsy as my driving instructor, I honestly couldn’t recommend Patsy enough! As someone who struggles with anxiety, learning to drive felt like a really daunting experience, but Patsy made me feel so much more comfortable and confident.
She was incredibly patient, understanding and supportive, and never made me feel silly for being nervous or needing extra help. She was amazing at finding different ways to explain things and adapt her teaching to suit how I learned best. She really went above and beyond to help me feel at ease and build my confidence.
I’m so grateful for all her support and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. If you’re an anxious learner or someone who struggles with confidence, Patsy is absolutely the person you want by your side!
Ben
At first it was quite nerve racking but patsy always reassured me and was always patient
Charlie
I am a keen motorcyclist who struggled to pass a driving test, I did a semi-intensive driving with Patsy, she was incredibly patient and calm with me and helped me get up to test standard within a week and she managed to get me through my test and pass.
Rory
Paul was my driving instructor, he helped me pass my test in Chichester with only 1 minor.
Haziq
I had an amazing experience. My instructor, Darran, guided me throughout my journey and made sure I had confidence in all aspects of driving.
Josh
Craig taught me how to drive a car from complete beginner to my practical test. Passed first try. Never felt scared to ask stupid questions.
Blue
I had changed instructor from an independent (and quite angry) individual who taught me how to drive a manual to an instructor from the company PriPlus. My instructor, Ferdusi, was incredibly patient and understanding towards me throughout the duration of my learning period -- reassuring when I made mistakes, never angry, and very very kind to the point that the initial nervousness I had carried over from lessons with my previous instructor had entirely vanished with Ferdusi by my second lesson.
Getting nearer to my test date, she ensured that I had enough knowledge and confidence to pass first time around without stressing me out, and constantly reassured me the entire way through. I've passed today on my first time with only 2 minors!! I'm eternally grateful for Ferdusi's help and I'm confident that if I had a different instructor I would not have been able to do so well on my practical test. The ratings only go up to 5/5 stars, but frankly, Ferdusi deserves 10/5 for her incredible teaching!!!!! Cannot recommend enough to new drivers
Sophie
I had my driving lessons with John D. Honestly he is the best! He has been so patient and encouraging through the whole process! Today I passed my driving test!! I will be forever grateful. Best driving instructor in the area (and beyond) 😁
Gezielle
Mei is truly the best driving instructor, anyone would be lucky to be taught by her! I passed first time under her guidance.
Mei truly teaches you how to be a safe driver for life, and prepares you for all scenarios. She is very patient and understanding, always listening to your concerns & tailors lessons to build your confidence and safety on the roads. You truly get the most out of your lessons. She gives feedback calm and constructively, and it is always very helpful.
Beyond learning by driving, she also provides visual aids in posters, toy cars etc to help you understand and improve. If you are an anxious driver, you will come out of your lessons calm, comfortable and confident!!! Best teacher anyone could ever have. Also has a great personality if you are stuck in traffic. Very knowledgeable about the roads within Portsmouth and far out!! After passing my test.
I feel confident to drive anywhere. 100% worth and justifiable lesson price with her haha. Could not be more grateful for this instructor, thank you so much!! 🥳🥳🙌🏽🎉

"I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor!
Donna is always calm, patient, and gives super clear instructions. She helped me build my confidence from day one, and I managed to pass my driving test first time with zero (0) drivers fault !
I always felt comfortable asking questions, and the lessons were well-structured. I'd recommend her to anyone learning to drive. Thank you so much!"
Astralasia
I honestly couldn’t recommend my driving instructor Tia enough! ❤️
After 6 months of learning, I passed my driving test today, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better instructor... From the very beginning, Tia has been absolutely amazing... She has such a lovely way of explaining things that makes everything easier to understand, and she has a real talent for making you feel comfortable, relaxed and at ease, even when you’re feeling nervous or doubting yourself.
Learning to drive can be such a daunting experience, but having someone so patient, encouraging and supportive makes all the difference. She has helped build my confidence so much, and I’m so grateful for all the time, effort and belief she has put into me throughout this journey.
I genuinely wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to teach me... Not only has she been an amazing instructor, but she’s also someone I’ve really enjoyed spending time with, I’m actually going to miss our lessons and all our little chats! 🥹❤️
Thank you for everything you’ve done to help me get to this point, Tia You truly deserve every success that comes your way, and I hope you continue to help so many more people achieve their goals just as you’ve helped me achieve mine...
If you’re looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares, explains things brilliantly and makes you feel at ease, I couldn’t recommend Tia enough... An absolute credit to her profession, and I’ll always be grateful that I got to learn with her! ❤️🚗

I had a wonderful time with Caroline, she was a very patient instructor who helped me pass my manual driving test first time at Wood Green. Highly Recommend!
Keira
Really enjoyed learning to drive with Donna! She was so patient, friendly and easy to get along with, made every lesson feel comfortable and relaxed. Explained things really well and helped me build my confidence on the road. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great driving instructor! 😊
Pranav
Enayet was a great instructor and with his help, I was able to clear the test in the first attempt.
His clear instructions, knowledge of Guildford's roads and Guildford centre's test roads helped me understand the requirements of the test.
Alfie
My son completed driving lessons with Lee. Previously he had been learning with another company.
We found Lee very accommodating and able to work round my son’s schedule. My son found Lee informative, patient and calm. Through Lee’s excellent tuition my son passed his test first time and is now enjoying plenty of freedom on the road. Thanks for helping him, I cannot recommend Lee highly enough
Guru
First of all, I want to thank Yasin bro to help me to get a pass in my practical driving test in the first go. Really Yasin bro helped me to understand the correct procedure and knowledge to pass the practical test. I would really recommend anyone who needs a good guidance, can contact Yasin bro. You will get a good results for sure. Thanks a lot Yasin bro. Just keep doing what you do and help the students. Thanks a lot again...
Ethan
Cal is an excellent instructor who made driving on the test route incredibly clear as well as giving me so much confidence and clarity at the wheel.
Laura-Ellis's mum
Rob was patient and calm with my son. Happy to accommodate changes and great communication.
Sophie
Craig was a brilliant instructor for my daughter. After a bad experience with her first instructor, she had lost all confidence and wanted to give up, but Craig put the fun back into driving!
After just one lesson, her confidence was restored and her smile was back. She genuinely looked forward to every lesson with Craig and went on to pass her test with just one minor, and now she wants to drive everywhere!
I couldn’t recommend Craig highly enough. I just wish we’d found him the first time around!
Helen
Jeremy is a brilliant teacher. His skilful teaching allowed my daughter to drive with confidence in an unfamiliar area and pass first time.
Christina
I honestly couldn’t recommend Mark Donnison from Pri Plus enough! He was such a lovely, patient and encouraging instructor. I was really nervous and scared when I started learning to drive at 20, but Mark always made me feel comfortable and at ease. He never once raised his voice or got annoyed, even when I was struggling or feeling anxious.
He explained everything really clearly and taught so well, helping me build my confidence and feel prepared for my test. We would always have a good chat about films during our lessons too, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable!
Thanks to Mark, I passed my driving test first time with only 3/4 minor faults! 🥳 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He’s a genuinely great guy who is patient, kind and brilliant at what he does.
If you’re a nervous learner or someone who lacks confidence behind the wheel, I would 100% recommend Mark. Thank you for everything, Mark! 🚗😊
Freya
Caroline was a great driving instructor. I had never driven before and by the time I passed I felt safe and confident in the roads and had overcome my nerves around driving. She is so thorough and guided me through the entire process from getting my theory to finally passing! I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Harry
Mark is an excellent instructor. He’s incredibly patient and professional. Not only does he teach you absolutely everything required to pass the driving test, he ensures you build practical driving habits and gives good advice applicable to the driving test and after you have passed. I would highly recommend Mark to any learner driver.
Seb
I passed first time with Michelle at Priplus, from the moment I started to learn to drive with Michelle I knew I made the right choice picking her! She kept me relax from the get go and made me feel more confident in a car. I couldnt recommend Michelle at Priplus enough nothing was an issue and I will miss our weekly chats. Thank you for everything! X
Nye
I had a fantastic experience learning with Caroline! After having two previous instructors and losing my confidence following two failed driving tests, she helped me rebuild my confidence and work on the areas I needed to improve. After just four lessons with her, I was test-ready and passed my driving test! 🎉
She's incredibly patient, supportive and great at helping you become a confident driver. I honestly wish I'd found her from the beginning, as I believe I would have passed first time. I highly recommend Caroline to anyone learning to drive!
Tiff
Before my first lesson I was really nervous and anxious, but after just one lesson with Jeremy I felt so much more confident. I passed my test first time I don’t believe this would be possible without Jeremy’s tutoring.
Blake
With Mark for the past 4 months helped me pass super quick first time great instructor so thankful
Areeta
David is a consistent and thoughtful instructor who was very patient and helped me build my confidence as someone who started as a very anxious driver. I passed first time and he helped me realise driving doesn’t have to be as daunting as you think. His humorous and easygoing manner supported me a lot! Thank you again David.
Emma - Lee's Mum
Paul Clarke was my sons learning instructor my son passed his test yesterday 1st time no minors and that's all to do with Paul
A big thankyou to you Paul your the best 😊
Suzy
Matthew taught my son and daughter to drive and they both passed first time. Laid back, easy going approach! Definitely recommend!
Ells
I had Jeremy as my instructor which I was initially hesitant about. He made driving sound so much more simple than I had made it out to be in my mind, allowing me to take it as slow or as fast as suited me. Driving with Jez really did just feel natural, calm and he was always up for a joke. For any nervous drivers I would 100% recommend Jeremy!:)
Hattie
Enayet was a great teacher, made sure I was prepared for my test which I passed first time! Very knowledgeable and explains things in a clear way.
Katrina
My driving instructor was Man Shek. I moved over to the UK from Canada and needed assistance in learning to drive on the other side of the road and guidance on UK driving rules, signs and regulations. Including the roundabouts! Which I found so confusing! ManShek was patient, kind and very knowledgeable. He makes sure you have sufficient practice on all road designs in the UK which I was grateful for. I now drive confidently! Was very knowledgeable about my area and the tricky spots which was a plus!
Lola
Ben has helped me so much with my driving especially after coming from another instructor previously. He is so patient and kind and with his help I passed my driving test first time, absolutely 5⭐️. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor in the area.
Oscar
Paul has been a great instructor and made sure I was test ready. 5 stars
Charlie
I had the pleasure of having Patsy as my instructor - right from the beginning she completely put me at ease and was so encouraging through the early stages of my driving. She has been so accommodating, going out of her way to make sure I could do my lessonsand has been very willing to change lesson plans if I felt I wanted to improve any aspects of my driving. I would strongly recommend Patsy to anyone looking for an encouraging, kind instructor.
Ash
Had driving lessons with Ben Ayres, couldn't recommend him enough.
Relaxed instructor, friendly and knowledgeable, won't let you slack off if you're someone who needs a push.
Shirley
We would wholeheartedly recommend Ben Ayres and PriPlus School of Motoring for driving lessons. Ben took on our son roughly a third of the way through his driving lessons after his initial instructor (also excellent and from PriPlus) unfortunately became unwell. Ben instantly struck up a great rapport with our son with his calm, professional manner, seeing him through to a first-time pass with only 2 faults. Our son was over the moon, and we feel reassured he has been given a solid basis for his future driving from his lessons at PriPlus. Thank you, Ben!!!!
Molly
I would especially recommend Mark to anyone looking for a driving instructor! He was always so calm and patient, which made every lesson feel relaxed and enjoyable. He was really good at explaining things, especially if something went wrong, and always helped me understand what had happened and how to improve for next time.

I highly recommend David, I was a very nervous learner but he was patient and supportive throughout every lesson, always explaining things clearly.
His really helped build my confidence while making sure I understood what I was doing. His guidance and support made such a huge difference and thanks to David I managed to pass my driving test first time!
Sam
Would highly recommend learning with Man Shek. Without him, I wouldn't of passed, he's absolutely brilliant. His style of teaching is perfect, and he helped me massively with controlling my nerves, right up until the end, when I passed first time with just one minor. Not only is his teaching amazing, he's a very lovely person in general. I always looked forward to a lesson with him, and he truly cares about his students and their success. Would definitely recommend getting in touch with him!
Maya
I was very happy with my driving instructor Mark. He had a friendly, effective teaching style and really helped build my confidence for my test. He was also incredibly reliable and would provide extra support before tests, that really helped me in passing my test!
Suzanne
Mark is the driving instructor everyone wants to find when their kids start to learn. Incredibly knowledgeable and gets that knowledge across in a fun and encouraging way. He hugely built my daughter’s confidence and she has recently passed her test first time with zero faults. I’ll be booking him for my son when he starts learning to drive and I really can’t recommend him enough. A genuine lovely guy who is passionate about his job! Thank you so much Mark!

Freya
I came to Mia after having a bad start to my driving journey with an instructor from another driving school.
I cannot recommend Mia enough!
From my first lesson with Mia she was so kind and proactive thinking of ways she could best support me. I past recently on my first time all thanks to Mia. She is amazing!
