Theo is a brilliant instructor, he's very funny, reliable and clear in his instructions. His humour took the edge off of those lessons I found a bit more challenging and it just helps you relax. I'd h... See more

Highly, highly recommended!
I finally passed my driving test after an intensive course with Pradeep! He is a fantastic instructor: patient, kind, and carefully explained and taught me everything I needed to pass my test. I passed this morning with only a minor fault - which is a substantial improvement from my previous test (with a different instructor).
He is impressively punctual, always ready to start bang on time, not a minute early or late, which was hugely appreciated.
If you, like me, have struggled with weekly/bi-weekly lessons or got stuck in your driving progress, I cannot recommend Pradeep's intensive courses enough.
Couldn't recommend enough!
I just completed a 20 hr intensive course with Theo on automatic, but also had the pleasure of a couple of hours with Pradeep too. Both of these instructors are incredibly friendly, knowledgable, patient and encouraging.
I had previously failed 5 manual tests and had a long break from driving, before picking up auto again as a learner in my own car. I believe I am undiagnosed dyspraxic, showing troubles with left/right, spatial awareness, judging distances etc. This was understood - they have both has experience with other dyspraxic and adhd students. I emailed the company with my background asking for recommendations on a length and they recommend 20, and I think it was the perfect amount of time. Theo was very flexible and accommodating to make the hours work for me - being able to fit around work and on weekends if I wanted.
A test was booked for me very soon as well.
When I had a moment of self doubt and low confidence, it was handled so well and confidence was soon restored.
I ended up passing with only 1 minor, something I did not think could be possible!
They have so many good reviews because they deserve them. I can't recommend enough to anyone needing to pass their test.
Wonderful instructor!
Pradeep was the loveliest instructor! Made me feel so much more confident and sure of myself going into my test, I would give him 10 stars if I could :) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Theo exceeded our expectations
Theo exceeded our expectations. He was kind to our son and professional with us. Theo really helped us to navigate the mess that is securing a driving test in the UK right now. I would highly recommend him.

I booked a 20 hour crash course and this company really helped me i passed with 1 minor
Highly recommend
I had a brilliant experience with Theo at Bristol Intensives. I was a very nervous and inexperienced driver but with his supportive and knowledgeable guidance I became happy and comfortable driving in just 2 weeks. Theo was brilliant at building my confidence, he was patient and kind but also pushed me when I needed it - and it worked as I passed first time!
Very good instructor
Pradeep is a very good instructor, patient but still pushes you. I made quick progress and felt like I was ready for my test which I passed first time. Would definitely recommend Bristol Intensives.
Great driving Instructor and intensive course
Pradeep is a fantastic driving instructor. He was attentive, approachable and each day had a different focus. I couldn’t believe how much progress I made in the week’s intensive course. Will be recommending to people.
Supportive, Direct and Concise Instructor
Theo is a supportive, clear and direct instructor who really helped me get prepared for my license. I am a previous driver whose license expired 8 years ago and he had me ready in 6 sessions, passing first time. He is also a lovely guy who is personable and engaging. His vehicle is amazing to practice in as well!
My 17 Year Old Son Passed 1st Time with Bristol Intensives
Pradeep is a patient (extremely patient) knowledgeable and committed Driving Instructor who taught my 17 year old Son to drive a Manual Car and pass his test first time in less than 4 weeks, he was very accommodating when my Son’s academic schedule changed which impacted his availability for the driving lessons and ensured that the final block of lessons were under exam conditions on roads around the exam centre, this helped him to feel well prepared and secure going into the exam whilst being mindful of previous faults and corrections on roads that felt familiar.
I cannot recommend Bristol Intensives highly enough and will be back in the future to book my Youngest a course of intensive driving lessons with Pradeep.
Worth every penny x
Pradeep is a fantastic instructor
Pradeep is a fantastic instructor, I hadn’t any driving experience before booking onto the course and didn’t have a car to practice either. But Pradeep ensured I was ready to take the test and was v flexible in adjusting the hours I needed and when I took them. I passed first time and am v happy to recommend Pradeep to anyone who was thinking about taking lessons.
I did an automatic intensive course…
I did an automatic intensive course with Theo, I had 2 previous instructors before doing the course and Theo was by far the best instructor I had. He insured confidence in me and was patient and had a wealth of knowledge and experience. Have now recommended Theo to friends!

Brilliantly capable and patient instruction; good advice and the right car for the job. Really can’t ask for more from a driving instructor.

Very good instructors
Great experience, really recommend
Pradeep was very clear, calm and friendly and a really excellent instructor. I was nervous to start driving but he helped me feel comfortable and safe. I would definitely recommend Bristol Intensives.
Pradeep was amazing!
Learnt to drive 10 years ago and failed 3 times, booked an intensive course with Pradeep and unfortunately failed again but Pradeep was able to help get me a last minute re-test and scheduled me in for a refresher course, and so happy to say I finally passed!! Putting in the hours with Pradeep he really helped me get over my anxiety driving and to try not panic in any situation (something I really struggle with) so I cannot recommend him enough! Thanks for everything!
