Excellent driving
Very good driving instructor, always on time and reliable , always fitted me in when I needed a lesson. Always gave sound advice.
top tier instructor
very thorough calm and precise instructor, everything i needed was shown in good detail. very lovely person in general 😁
Great driving instructor
I had lessons with Anthony Dadswell. Going into it I was extremely nervous about learning to drive but from the beginning Anthony was very understanding, patient and calm. He would always take the time to talk through things and explain mistakes in a way which could be easily understood and learnt from. I never felt like I was thrown too much in the deep end and was able to learn at a good pace for me.
Through his lessons I started to gain confidence and believe that I could actually do it. I went from thinking I would never be able to drive to passing in just less than a year which I never thought possible before.
Anthony was not only teaching to pass a test but how to become a safe driver and giving helpful advice for the future on the road.
Highly recommend.

I had a really good experience learning with my driving instructor who was Tony. He was patient, professional, and explained everything clearly, which helped me feel confident behind the wheel. Lessons were always calm and supportive, and I improved a lot thanks to his guidance. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly driving instructor.
Alex Baker, my driving instructor
Alex Baker my driving instructor was great, he was very patient with me, gave clear instructions and reworded them in ways that was easy to understand. I passed first time round with him and with only 17 hours of lessons, I couldn't have done it so soon without him, im already recommending him to my friends.

Driving with Tony
I had an excellent experience learning to drive in Suffolk with Tony Duke. It was interesting and actually rather fun. I would definitely recommend Drive Suffolk to anyone learning to drive as it is a wonderful company and Suffolk is a great place to learn to drive - much easier than London!
Tony Duke - fantastic instructor!
Tony Duke from Drive Suffolk has taught both our kids to drive. Tony is kind, calm and professional - both of them felt really relaxed learning with him. He was brilliant at scheduling the lessons around their commitments and flexible about making route and time changes if traffic was pointlessly congested. Highly recommend Tony to anyone planning on learning to drive.
Inez Banfield
Inez is absolutely fantastic! I changed instructor to her at the point of giving up and when my confidence had previously been destroyed. After just a few lessons with her I really felt ready to take my test. I passed second time but wasn’t far off the first time. Inez is very easy to talk to, caring, patient and very reliable. I couldn’t rate her highly enough. I will always be grateful for the gift she has given me in getting me over the line and passing my test. Thank you Inez!
Wesley
I can’t recommend Wesley highly enough! He is a fantastic instructor who is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and calm. He helped me build my confidence behind the wheel and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress and making you a safe driver, Wesley is the best!
Amazing Instructor
I passed first time with Tony. When I started lessons I was a really anxious driver, but he always took the time to explain everything properly and knew exactly when to push me a bit and when to take things slow. By the end of my lessons, his teaching had helped my confidence loads! He was always calm and professional, and his sense of humour made lessons so much easier and enjoyable. I genuinely can’t imagine learning to drive with anyone else and I HIGHLY recommend Tony to anyone thinking about learning.

Her car is also very smooth to drive.

Fantastic driving instructor and very patient calm and Collective.
But most of all reliable as there's a lot of drone structures who are not reliable.
Great driving instructor
Inez is a brilliant instructor
Inez is a brilliant instructor who is very patient and very good at easing stress. Not once felt that i couldn’t do something, she is very persistent at pushing you out of your comfort zone and being able to drive so much better than you thought you could.
Comfortable, Efficient, Constructive
Inez is so calm and so knowledgeable. I've been taking lessons with her for a bit over 2 months and just passed with 0 minors. She's amazing at giving active feedback to help you improve but without making your driving experience feel overwhelming. Highly recommend her to anyone else who wants to make learning to drive a comfortable and efficient process.
