I recently passed my test with Robyn Phillips and I highly recommend her as an instructor. I didn't expect to pass so quickly but she is a fantastic teacher. Robyn was super patient in her teaching method. I passed my test but can also say that I am now confident with driving, something I've not experienced before.

Jonathan taught my son to drive (and he passed first time). Jonathan was extremely professional as well as being kind, patient and supportive, and my son loved his lessons. He always came home very positive and upbeat. I would highly recommend Jonathan as a driving instructor (hopefully he will be available to teach my younger son when he's ready to learn to drive)!

I had Jonathan Phillips as my instructor, he is a really nice man and incredibly supportive. His teaching style was perfect as he was patient and encouraging throughout the lessons. I passed first time with just 1 minor and would highly recommend him as a driving instructor.

My son was taught by Jonathan at Driveaway. He went over and beyond for him at short notice to accommodate a change to his test. His communication with both my son and myself was excellent and I would absolutely recommend him

Peter Goat was my instructor - highly recommend! I'd had previous experience driving vehicles on farms and after 6x 2h lessons I passed first time with no faults. Peter was really helpful and was always direct and to the point with everything that we worked on, so we didn't waste any time at all. Worth every penny!

I would highly recommend Hanna as a driving instructor. She was an excellent teacher and gave me lots of useful memory tools, which really helped me remember what I needed to be doing and made me feel much more confident behind the wheel. She took me along lots of potential test routes, so I felt well prepared for my test and was familiar with the types of roads and situations I might encounter. I also found her markers and guidance for all the manoeuvres extremely helpful, making them much easier to remember and carry out correctly. Thanks to her patience, guidance and preparation, I passed my driving test first time! I’m really grateful for all her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone learning to drive.

Luthfur Rahman was a brilliant driving instructor. He was friendly and relaxed and I became so much more confident over the course of my lessons thanks to his encouragement. We had a good laugh sometimes, but he also gave me clear, specific feedback and focused on areas that needed improving. I passed first time!

Gaia was a phenomenal teacher and because of her I passed my driving test first time. She is so patient during lessons and was very reassuring during my first few lessons when I was a bit nervous. She is also just a lively person to talk to and be around and driving lessons with her were actually really fun!

Hannah was my driving instructor she was so calm and relaxed, helped me relax a lot - I hadn’t been for any other lessons so driving with Hannah from the start of my driving experience was the best choice I made and I wouldn’t pick anyone else I was so lucky to have her teach me. I was lucky enough with such a good instructor to PASS 1st time! Thank you again Hanna :)
