I was so lucky to have found Mark as an instructor. I didn't have a great experience learning to drive before him and when I met him I was very anxious with a huge lack of confidence. Mark turned that around, he is a fantastic instructor - ...

Ian has been a brilliant instructor, and great to get along with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn. His calm and patient approach made the learning process enjoyable and stress-free

I couldn’t recommend Robyn enough! She was patient, supportive, and made every lesson enjoyable while helping me build my confidence behind the wheel. She explained everything clearly and always encouraged me to do my best. Thanks to her amazing teaching and support, I passed my driving test first time today! Thank you so much for all your help—I really appreciate everything you’ve done.

I highly recommend Peter Goat. Passed first time with him. He was so helpful, flexible, and chilled! I enjoyed every lesson with him and look forward to a 'lifetime of safe driving' as a result of his tutorage.

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.

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.

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.

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

Jonathan is an amazing driving instructor and a top bloke as well! Would recommend to anybody who’s looking to learn to drive.
