What our students say

Caroline's background as a teacher really shows in her instruction. This, coupled with her flexible schedule and enthusiasm for all things driving related enabled me to pass first time. Additionally, her intimate knowledge of the local area, means that you don't just learn to pass the test, but also how to drive confidently day-to-day.

Phil was the best driving instructor I could have asked for! I was a nervous driver before I started my lessons with Phil, but he was always patient, calm, and reassuring. He explained things clearly, never made me feel rushed, and helped build my confidence every step of the way. Thanks to him, I not only passed my test first time, but I actually enjoy driving now — something I never thought I'd say. I can't recommend him enough

I am so glad I was given the opportunity to learn to drive and pass my test through the driving school and would recommend this driving school.

Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than Caroline. Always so calm and reassuring and has such a clear way of instructing. Gave me real confidence in my own ability when I was nervous after previous experience with another instructor. I passed first time thanks to her guidance. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Mark is a very good driving instructor, he was very patient with me and learning how to drive and got me through my driving test.
Thanks mark :)

I booked a driving test and thankfully with very short notice he told me he could fit me in some lessons … I passed my test today thanks to him . He was always on time to pick me up , never cut lessons short , he’s the best around !! Felt safe in his car and his teaching ways are fantastic! I highly recommend getting your driving lessons of him if you want to pass !

Caroline is the best driver instructor I’ve ever had by a mile (I’ve tried 5 in the process of finally passing!). Lovely instructor, explained everything so well, really personalised the lessons to what I needed. Always reliable and so knowledgeable. Thank you for getting me my pass, highly recommend!! :))

Mark is a great driving instructor he pays close attention to detail and is patient.He remains calm and makes you feel safe.

Caroline was an excellent instructor, really encouraging and practical

Rob was recommended to me by a coworker who had nothing but high praise for him. His lessons are very enjoyable while also being very helpful and clear. His manner of teaching helps build your confidence and skills very quickly. Rob is a very knowledgeable instructor who answered all of my questions clearly and demonstrated how to do things very safely and efficiently.

I would highly recommend him as he helped me pass my test in Portsmouth on the first try. He is also a very fun guy to talk to, very approachable and kind.

Mark helped me get back confidence after starting on the wrong foot with a previous driving instructor and I now have passed my Driving Test. He was calm and collected and would give clear instructions.

I also find that he has the patience to repeat himself, this I think is what I needed as nerves almost always makes me forget. I highly recommend him for learners who feel they need a more relaxed atmosphere!

Wonderful and reassuring driving instructor. Really gave me confidence and now happily driving. Would highly recommend.

We moved our daughter from another instructor as she wasn’t making much progress, and switching to Phil was the best decision we could have made, we only wish we’d done it sooner! Gemma’s confidence and skills grew rapidly under Phil’s guidance.

The improvement in her driving was remarkable, and he helped her get test-ready and pass first time. We couldn’t recommend Phil highly enough to anyone looking for an excellent driving instructor.

Provided a 'finishing school' with driving lessons for the month before my son's test - and it worked :-) My son passed!
David proved himself to be an excellent instructor with immediate improvements to driving easily seen.
Thanks

Paul was a wonderful driving instructor. From the booking aspect he was easy to deal with and very accommodating. From a learners perspective he was a thorough teacher keeping the balance of teacher and humour in his style. We would highly recommend...and our son passed on his first test!

Passed first time with zero minors thanks to Sam Capon. She’s an amazing instructor calm, patient, and really knows how to build your confidence behind the wheel. Every lesson felt productive, and she always explained things clearly. You can tell she genuinely cares about your progress, not just getting you through the test. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

I owe my driving license to Enayet!! Brilliant instructor.

I passed my test in my first attempt for automatic car only because of Enayet. He went out of his way to help and guide me achieve this. Highly recommend him to anyone who is aiming to get their license.

Caroline was an absolutely fantastic instructor - I passed first time and it's all thanks to her! She's kind, patient and explains everything very clearly - would recommend her to anyone looking to learn to drive manual

Great experience with Mark as a driving instructor, he was calm and patient throughout all our lessons. He was incredibly accommodating with practice sessions before test day, always on time, encouraging, and friendly - highly recommend, thanks!

I would highly reccomend Matt!
He is extremely patient and excellent at explaining things. He took me from not being able to steer or start a car to passing my test first time in 6 months! I really looked foward to my lessons each week as he made me feel confident each lesson, even if i was feeling apprehensive.
I would reccomend Matt to anyone, as I have with some of my friends.

John was amazing, cannot recommend him enough! Very friendly, patient and informative; I passed first time!

Amazing instructor !!! Passed with only 2 minors. Steve is very friendly and made me feel comfortable driving

We are so glad that Ben was recommended to us for our son Jamie. He was on time every week, never cancelled and most importantly he was relatable to Jamie, which made him look forward to his lessons every week. We honestly could not recommend Ben enough.
Also just to add Jamie passed his test first go with Ben.

Mark was everything I could’ve possibly asked for in an instructor; calm, patient and amazing at explaining everything clearly. He made learning to drive incredibly straightforward, I went from 0 driving experience to a first time pass 3 months later with no practise outside of lessons. All thanks to Mark planning amazing lessons ensuring I made progress every week :)

Donna was my second driving instructor, after not getting along with my previous instructor. she boosted my confidence with driving so much as i was a very anxious driver, and with her amazing teaching i passed first time !! i owe this pass to her !!

Ben is a great instructor and person. It was brilliant to learn from him

Caroline is truly an amazing instructor.

I can’t recommend Caroline highly enough. When I started lessons with her, I had never been behind the wheel before and had absolutely no driving experience. I just passed my test first time, something I never imagined would happen so quickly and it is honestly all thanks to her. Caroline is calm, clear, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable.

From my very first lesson, she made me feel completely at ease. She has a real gift for explaining things in a way that just makes sense, even when everything feels overwhelming as a beginner. Her firm but supportive approach helped me quickly build confidence and she always struck the perfect balance between encouragement and constructive feedback. What I appreciated most was how invested she was in helping me progress and be ready for my test. If something needed improving, she made sure we worked through it until I fully understood. But she also never let me doubt myself. Her belief in me really pushed me to do my best and I genuinely looked forward to every lesson.

My instructor Pete was really great, always stayed calm and helped me through all the tough spots I had while learning to drive. I passed first time, and I owe it all to him. Thanks Pete

Josh is a professional, adaptive and a friendly driving instructor who teaches well and adapts to your needs based on your driving skill.

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Phil. He was always on time, very kind, and incredibly patient throughout the lessons. Thanks to his clear instructions and calm approach, I felt confident behind the wheel and passed my driving test! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.

Absolutely fantastic! My driving instructor Phil was perfect, taught me everyone and eased and progressive pace. Helped a bunch leading up to my test and doing all he can to help with other things (like the theory test and practical questions). I couldn't have got a better instructor and am recommending to everyone possible. Thanks Phil

5⭐️ to Penny for helping me pass 1st time! Wouldn't have been able to without her patience and teachings, especially being willing to adapt to a way that suits you best. Thanks!

I would really recommend Penny as a driving instructor because she was calm, friendly and really helped me to be safe and confident on the road. I improved more and more after each lesson and I could not have passed without her!

I really enjoyed my driving lessons with Paul, he is very reliable, calm and really knowledgeable which filled me with confidence and ensured I was ready for my test and I passed within under 3 months of having lessons. Thank you!

Penny is such an amazing teacher and so lovely. She brings a calming energy to her lessons and i’d recommended her to anyone looking to start learning to drive :)

I would 100% recommend Paul I can’t thank him enough . I went from being a nervous leaner driver to a confident driver and looked foward to my lessons with him . Thanks to Paul I PASSED.

Michelle was such an incredible teacher, she was so helpful, so calm and so encouraging. She really helped my confidence and I really enjoyed my experience

Laura is an amazing instructor, she is calm, friendly and very encouraging. She was so supportive and really helped me not feel nervous. Would recommend her to anyone thinking of starting lessons.

My instructor(mark) was superb! Really reinforcing my ability to drive, really friendly, always on time, and on the times where he wasn't he notified me, always helped me with any questions I had, and always keeping my confidence high!, passed first time with 5 minor faults!! And all with the help of my instructor, top bloke

Really good instructor and helped me throughout my journey

Thank you Ed for helping me pass first time! I decided to learn to drive an automatic to help me overcome my nerves about learning to drive on London's busy streets, and I've no regrets. Ed was a great teacher and I've already recommended him to my husband, who will be starting lessons soon!

Amazing experience with this driving school. Couldn’t recommend my instructor, Mark, enough - very patient and made me feel extremely comfortable.

Pete was a brilliant driving instructor for my son. I have three other kids who all had lessons with other people who were nothing like as good . I wish Pete had taught all four of them . Totally recommend 🤩🤩

Michelle was amazing!

Thought the whole course of learning she was very supportive and understanding, as well as rearranging her personal schedule to support me with my test which was suddenly move forward with 2 days notice. Passed first time with 1 minor- which would not have been possible without her support. 100% recommend!!!

I learned a great deal from you and truly appreciate your patience. Adjusting to UK driving conditions and unlearning old habits was quite a task for someone with my driving experience from India. 

I highly recommend Josh as a driving instructor.

From the very first lesson, he made me feel completely at ease behind the wheel, something I never thought possible. Josh has a natural ability to create a calm, supportive environment that helps you build confidence with every session. He’s incredibly patient, always encouraging, and explains things in a clear, relatable way that truly helps you understand not just how to drive, but how to drive safely and responsibly. No question ever feels silly with Josh, he treats every concern with respect and makes sure you feel prepared before moving on. Thanks to Josh,

I went from being a nervous beginner to someone who now feels confident and capable on the road. I’m so grateful to have had him as my instructor and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive with someone truly exceptional.

Pete is a very helpful instructor who helped me achieve my goals of learning to drive as well as passing my test first time! He has a laid back, friendly approach, which is ideal if you are nervous about the idea of driving. I went from not having even sat in the drivers seat of a car, to passing with confidence within four months. Highly recommend!

Enayet has been a very supportive and knowledgeable instructor.

I want to thank Mark Rowett for his help before passing first time! -
So professional, always provided learning outcomes and a clear structure to the lesson. Always flexible and could accommodate cancellations or change of dates / time etc.
Fun lessons but with lots learnt at a chilled and comfortable pace.
Thanks again. :)

Mark is a brilliant instructor, had lots of fun. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Thanks again

Thank you so much to Craig, who helped me to achieve a pass first time! He was incredibly patient, kind and supportive of my driving journey, especially on my test day making me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend him for your driving journey.

I had Mark as my driving instructor and couldn’t have asked for better. He made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel from my first lesson. He was patient with me and helped my driving to improve at my own pace. I couldn’t fault him at all, and recommend for any learner drivers!!

Pete was fantastically supportive, ensuring a pass first time- thank you so much!

Ben was a fantastic driving instructor, he was very calm and clear with his instructions. Thanks to him I was able to pass first time with only 1 minor!

Amazing teacher, would recommend 100%.
Caroline is a patient, supportive and dynamic teacher. I used to hate driving and had terrible experiences with driving instructors. Caroline taught me how to love driving.
