My daughter found Hanna to be a friendly, patient, and comfortable person to be in a car with whilst teaching. She has a great ability to put you at ease whilst being firm and knowledgeable and always giving clear instruction. My daughter passed first time. I would highly recommend Hanna to anyone who wishes to learn to drive.

So today i passed my driving test and i can't thank Johnathan Phillips enough for all your hard work getting me up to scratch to take my test, but most of all believing in me and building my confidence. Jon is one of the best, he's very professional and straight talking. He gave me so much confidence and taught me to believe in myself again. i'm that girl that was terrified to even go in a car let alone be good enough to pass my test first time round. I unfortunately had a tragedy happen in my family and didn't go in a car for over two years and now look i have just passed my test and it's all thanks to you Jon, I truly mean that thank you so much x

Thank you Hanna for your patience, flexibility and kindness. Learning to drive wasn’t always my favourite activity but Hanna always went out of her way to create a relaxed and calm learning environment. She is very easy to talk to and from our first lesson together I always felt she had my best interests in mind. Thank you for helping me pass first time!

I had Jon Phillips as my driving instructor and would, without a doubt, recommend him to anyone looking to pass their driving test first time. His teaching style is calm, patient, understanding and supportive. His calmness and confidence in my ability helped me stay relaxed and is what made me pass first time, despite being nervous. Thank you, Jon!

I had Dave warren and he was an amazing driving instructor. I looked forwards to every lesson I had with him and always had a smile on my face. I get anxious and nervous very easily and each time he turned that nervousness into laughter and I would very much recommend him as an instructor!

I was very lucky to have Robyn and Jon as my instructors. They were incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout the whole process. As English isn’t my first language, I really appreciated how encouraging and understanding they always were, especially on the more challenging days. I highly recommend them! Thank you both so much! Gracias!

I had a great experience learning to drive with Lucian in Cambridge. He is very patient, friendly, and supportive, and he creates a calm learning environment that helps you build confidence without feeling stressed. Every lesson was full of useful tips and new learnings, and I really appreciated that he focused on helping me improve as a driver rather than making me feel nervous about small mistakes. He explains things clearly, adapts to your pace, and is genuinely lovely to chat to during lessons. I would highly recommend Lucian to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and encouraging driving instructor, especially if you want to feel more confident and develop safe driving habits.

Abigail Todd

I recently passed my test thanks to Hannah's instructing. She is very easy to talk to and will get to know you well, which was important to me as learning to drive was very stressful for me and knowing that she is a lovely person who only wants me to succeed took some of the pressure away. She knows exactly how to use the right words and phrasing to get you to understand, and only stepped in if there was an actual risk to how I was driving, which she would also do so very calmly. I would 100% recommend her to others, as someone who struggled to get started with driving I think she absolutely gives you the tools needed to flourish.

Gaia was an incredible driving instructor. As someone who suffers from anxiety and was very anxious about driving Gaia helped to make the experience far easier for me. She’s calm and patient as well as being friendly and supportive. I’m so glad I had such a kind instructor who led me and many others to passing.

Robyn is an incredibly talented instructor. She explains all the concepts incredibly clearly. I was quite an anxious learner and she set me at ease and allowed me to drive safely with confidence. I have had some Bad experiences with driving before and Robyn was exactly the opposite- she was calm and patient. I would 100% recommend her to others.

I highly recommend Robyn Philips as a driving instructor! Robyn was my second driving instructor and I am so glad that I swapped to her. She is kind, calm and was integral to building my driving confidence, both for the test and for driving at home. I looked forward to my lesson each week! I passed first time which was absolutely down to the excellent advice of Robyn. Thank you so much!
