Written by the company

Specialist driver training services from former DVSA Driving Examiner – including novice driver training, instructor training, bespoke mock-testing service, both manual and automatic tuition offered. Driving Dynamix was born when Gabi returned to teaching in November 2018, after a fifteen-year hiatus working as a driving examiner for the Driver Vehicle Standards Agency DVSA (formerly DSA). The name, Driving Dynamix, reflects our commitment to positive and supportive tuition, where the client’s learning goals are at the heart of what we do. In the early days, driving tuition was traditionally quite formulaic, following a fairly rigid curriculum. Whilst we follow closely the National Standards for Driver and Rider Training, Driving Dynamix is all about modern ways of teaching, with an emphasis on enabling the learner to find their own way to independence, and thereby building lasting confidence that will take the client through the driving test and beyond to drive by themselves. Her years as a driving examiner have enabled Gabi to offer a unique insight into the driving test, demystifying it and preparing pupils to an extraordinarily high standard. This feature is available to all the school’s customers and means that Driving Dynamix pupils take their tests with all the skills and understanding of how to pass it!

Alyx was wonderful

Alyx was wonderful, she made me feel at ease. I was a very nervous driver at first and the nerves sometimes got in the way. But only last week I passed my test 1st time and I feel fabulous.

A great company to learn with

A great company to learn with. Colin, my instructor, was a brilliant teacher and such a down to earth, lovely bloke. Couldn’t have been more comfortable and the effort he put in with extra time regarding my mock tests was a testament to the brand. Loved every lesson even when I was struggling with driving in the first couple. Thanks again 🤝

Gabi is a fantastic and dedicated instructor with years of experience as both an instructor and an examiner. She tailors lessons to your needs and supports the test with a series of carefully planned mock tests which means you are very prepared. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Would recommend

I believe that the things I have learnt will stay with me for a long time not just through my technique that shows in my driving but the systematic Method Gabi has taught me. And because of this by time it came to my test having cleared up on some more road specific problems in Mock tests I couldn’t fail and I didn’t .

Well what can I say !!

Well what can I say !!! Firstly I would like to thank Driving Dynamics for taking me on as where I live in the rural part of Devon was very hard to get an instructor and also I would like to Thank Colin my instructor he is so cool he spoke through everything to me and he is very understanding as I think as I have got older I see all the dangers but thanks to Colin he helped me massively and has taught me so much on the road and always telling me when I had done so well and spoke about the mistakes that I made it's taken me a year of hard work all thanks to Colin so if anyone wants to learn to drive I would definitely recommend this driving school.

Brilliant experience with Driving Dynamix!

My experience with driving Dynamix was brilliant! My instructor Gabbi always remained patient, calm and positive throughout my lessons and had a genuine care and love for her role as an instructor. Not only did I come away with a first time pass but an enjoyable experience that I’ll always look back on fondly. I would strongly recommend driving Dynamix to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient company with lovely, caring instructors!

Definitely recommend 🫶

I have recently passed my test, and without Alyx as my instructor I don’t think that would have been possible. As a very nervous driver, Alyx helped me become more confident with driving and taught me how best to be safe on the road.

The best experience with Driving Dynamix!

I was learning to drive an automatic car after previous lessons with a different instructor in manual. Alyx always made me feel confident and safe whilst driving and taught me that it’s okay to have fun whilst learning.Could not recommend Alyx anymore, she’s brilliant! If you need a driving instructor that’s caring kind and an amazing teacher Driving Dynamix should be your go to!

Amazing Experience at Driving Dynamix with Alyx

Alyx at Driving Dynamix made my learning experience extremely positive and rewarding. She is very friendly, and has a calm approach to instructing. Alyx is amazing at adapting her teaching methods to fit each of her student’s needs; I have a learning difficulty that sometimes slows my progress, and initially made me nervous to begin lessons, but Alyx’s patience and encouragement helped me to achieve all my goals and made me excited for each session, Thanks to her, I passed my driving test on the first try and felt fully prepared and confident. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, and I highly recommend Driving Dynamix to anyone who wants to start their driving journey!

I don’t know how to put into words how…

I don’t know how to put into words how much Gabi has changed my life, I appreciate that sounds dramatic but it’s genuinely immeasurable.

She quite literally taught the unteachable to drive in 4.5 months.
I’ve been learning to drive on and off for 17 years with no success. Gabi is like no other driving instructor I’ve ever had. She is next level!

She has a way of putting you at complete ease and making everything seem achievable!

She very much makes it all feel like “ no big deal” which is so calming and confidence building when you’re nervous learning.
She is also fabulously witty which made lessons a pleasure to go to.

The mock tests with her and the test preparation sessions really are amazing and unique with her being an ex examiner you really get invaluable insight.

I cant thank Gabi enough :-)

Oh my! Emily, thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! I have to say you were never unteachable, and in contrast your dedication and commitment were the main players in your story But thank you so much for this very lovely review 😊

Lovely experience learning to drive!

I started driving under Alyx’s instruction in November and was able to pass in June. I never felt silly when making mistakes, even when needing to spend multiple lessons on the same type of road/junction. Alyx was always calm and puts you at ease with gentle reminders throughout.
It was a lovely experience to learn to drive and I never felt rushed to get something. We did a few mock test routes in the weeks beforehand to really understand what might need more work and were able to sort those bits out before the test.
Thank you!

Alyx is the best!

Alyx is so encouraging and patient. It is always fun to drive with her!! She put so much trust in me, which was what I needed to become confident in my driving! Don't think I could've passed my test without her.

Gabi is a fantastic teacher!

I have had an amazing experience learning how to drive with Gabi Humphries from Driving Dynamix. Each lesson was so thoughtfully tailored to the specific skills I needed to work on, and Gabi took such great care to understand the best teaching style for me. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process of learning how to drive, and it’s fair to say I couldn’t have found a more patient, skilled and caring teacher. Thank you Gabi!!

Alyx was so patient and understanding of my daughter's nervousness around driving.
She worked thoroughly to ensure all barriers to passing her test were ironed out.
My daughter passed first time
Can't thank her enough !

I passed first time!!

I passed first time!!! Out of my 4 years of driving Alyx is the best instructor I’ve ever had. She always arrived on time and used a app which made it easier to keep track of my lessons and progress. Alyx created such a calm and welcoming environment every time and it was very tailored to my specific way of learning and we learned at my pace she always made great conversation and the way she taught me never left me feeling stressed or anxious behind the wheel. Both Alyx and her mum are so lovely and created such a nice environment for me to learn in and the analogies Alyx would use managed to stick with me! I had my heart set on passing first time and I did all thanks to Alyx she’s the best instructor I really couldn’t recommend her enough!! Worth every penny! Within 4 months she had me test ready and I had spent years trying with other instructors and I just couldn’t manage. A huge thank you I will miss our lessons!

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

It’s been a long road to me passing my test, having tried to learn in a manual many years ago but given up.

I found Driving Dynamix online and after a short wait on their waiting list I began my lessons with Alyx. Her teaching style is completely different to what I experienced before and I was driving on my first lesson!

We worked hard on my skills as a driver, even with learning challenges caused by my dyspraxia, Alyx was nothing but a ray of sunshine - I absolutely looked forward to every lesson. Alyx has a gift for teaching, her patience and ability to make a bad mistake feel like a positive led to my pass.

It wasn’t until I got out on the road all on my own that actually, I found I absolutely can drive and I was fully prepared. You don’t just learn to pass a test, you do learn how to drive safely.

The Driving Dynamix system truly works, the mock tests as I got towards my test date were superbly helpful in getting me ready and confident and although I didn’t get a first time pass, I went into my second test with confidence and left with the all important certificate!

I’m really going to miss our lessons Alyx, you’ve been brilliant along with Gabi guest starring for a couple of lessons and my second test, and of course Sharon doing all the background admin to keep things running smoothly!

Every penny I spent on my lessons was worth it - again I didn’t realise just how ready for the roads I was until I was out on the road on my own and I hope to remain a safe and competent driver for life!

I would recommend Driving Dynamix to anyone but particularly if you have any sort of barriers to learning - give them a go, if I can pass anyone can!

See you on the roads!

I recently passed with my instructor Alyx. She was so great and patient throughout all my lessons. She was super positive and encouraging and explained more difficult concepts really well. We did lots of mock tests and practice which made me feel really prepared and confident for my test. I would definitely recommend.

Exceptional Driving Instructor N Team - Highly Recommended

grateful to have Alyx and DD team to get me back behind the wheel, would recommend to anyone who's looking for a driving instructor in Exeter and surrounding area.

Alyx is calm and understanding, always providing encouragement and support, allowing me to build confidence and overcome any anxieties I had about driving.

And a shout-out to Sharon who's behind the scenes for helping me secure the test slot.
