Chris is a brilliant and patient instructor with whom I always felt very comfortable. He gave a great balance of encouragement and constructive criticism and makes an effort to teach you to be a good driver, rather than just pass your test. Additionally he is just a lovely guy to chat to! I passed my test first time with him :)

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 :)
