Great western driving academy  Reviews 

James was an amazing driving instructor who was patient with me and helped me overcome my fears of driving. I began to be more confident with my driving thanks to James and I wouldn’t have passed without.
Can’t Thank him enough.

Lycia. Pick lycia she is the best driving instructor i have had passed so easy and she understands the pressure and makes it so easy to drive with her in the passenger seat. 10/10 wouldnt of picked anyone else.

James is a excellent instructor he kept me calm and always explained everything and I wouldn't of passed my test without him

My driving instructor Marcio was FABULOUS every lesson was extremely helpful, full of fun energy and new words helped me pass first time with only one minor fault which is amazing I would recommend him to anyone!! Thank you.

I had Marc as my instructor and he was really patient and a really good instructor, I would highly recommend this company as a whole

Marc was a really friendly and patient instructor who understood where I was struggling and focused on improving my driving skills ultimately leading me to pass

Rocky Rodrigues was an amazing driving instructor he had a lot of patience and faith in me to do well. Each lesson he advised me with improvements to do well and ways to manage my nerves.

Simon was such a great instructor from start to finish. He was always super calm and patient if I was slow to learn something or made a mistake. He talks through the processes very well and clearly and I feel very confident as a driver now. Thank you so much! Highly recommend him!!

A very late review for my instructor Simon who passed me in the summer; who was an incredible help and support in guiding me into all the steps that I’d need to know for my practical test.

I booked an intensive driving course which was a terrible process to getting my instructor, and when doing my lessons was not helpful in any way, so I was not confident in any way that I knew what I needed to know to pass my test. Simon took me on at pretty late notice with my practical test a few weeks away; immediately I felt confident in Simon’s knowledge of driving behaviours, manoeuvres, test checks, and his capability in understanding my driving strengths and weaknesses and how to coach me through bettering my behaviours.

Simon was incredible in the 3 lessons I had leading up to and including my test, great to talk to and understand the detail in driving behaviours, and a great guy in general which is not easy to find with driving instructors .

Simon was a great instructor, he had patience with Harry he was good at explaining things to him in a way he understood. He was very good at building Harry’s confidence and put him at ease. Nothing was a problem they couldn’t overcome. Harry was so happy to pass his test first time and with only 3 minors, this was definitely down to Simon and his great teaching style.

Excited to have passed my practical driving test with Great western driving academy; they responded swiftly to my queries and provided a top-notch service throughout the process.
My instructor Turab was very professional, patient, reassuring, and flexible. He is abreast with DVSA updates and has excellent Knowledge of road rules, regulations and offered extensive tips for passing my test.
Throughout my training he was proactive, reliable, tailored my training to the skills I need to improve, hence ensured efficient use of my time.
He consistently helped boost my confidence, always encouraged, happy to respond to my questions and communicated in a very clear and simple message.
would highly recommend Turab and thank him for his empathy during my training.

Passed my test Friday thanks too James and all his help!!😊 Gunna miss our giggles now x

Marc has been absolutely fantastic with my daughter all the way from her first lesson until passing her driving test today with zero minors!! Can't thank him enough and he will be teaching my other daughter next year and she is so excited 😆 once again thanks Marc for all your hard work and patience ❤️ 👍🙌

Waheed truly made it possible for me to pass my test today! He is incredibly patient and non judgmental which was exactly what I needed! He understood my nerves yet continued to hype me up. I’m so thankful I had him as a driving instructor! CHOOSE WAHEED IF YOU WANT TO PASS!!!!!

I would like to thank you millions Lycia for being the best cool instructor. I have learned a lot from you, from the hood to the boot and All the tricks and turns. You are a big part of my passing in take one!🥰

Simon was an excellent instructor, always friendly always ready to chat will always have a laugh. Most importantly an amazing instructor always pushing you but not to much and understanding you limits

Passed 1st time today after 24 hours of lessons with Marcio, great instructor, chilled out, calm and patient from start to finish. Would definitely recommend.

Waheed is an absolute credit to the academy! It was a pleasure and a privilege having him as my driving instructor as I passed my test on the first attempt. Waheed was calm, flexible and patient throughout and prepared me not just for the test day but also for the rest of life on the road. His practical tips will stay with me. I would heavily recommend him as an instructor.
Thank you so much, Waheed!

I would like to say a massive thank you to my amazing driving instructor, Avind Gonsalves.
Not only he taught me the driving skills, but he's lifted and boost my confidence.
I was a very anxious learner, but through his professional, calm, patient and friendly teaching method, he transformed me to be a safe and confident driver and pass my test.
I can't thank, and recommend him enough.
Cheers! x

Libby was excellent, always instilling confidence and breaking down everything to make it easy to understand
