David Watson Coventry Driving test pass
I recently passed my driving test in Coventry with David Watson as my instructor. He was always really patient with me and has an excellent way of teaching tricky areas and roundabouts in Coventry that many find difficult. I would highly recommend David as a driving instructor 👍

Hendon Instuctor is bad
Honestly, there is an instructor named Tony that covers the kingsbury/ hendon area. Wasted soo much money on him. Every lesson he would arrive late, for the first and last 20 mins talk about his life stories. Just wasting my money. My driving test was coming up and the way this instructor just constantly kept touching the wheel, really made me self conscious. I changed instructors and the new instructor didn’t touch the wheel once, and said I was amazing. Past 1st time with no minors. No thanks to Tony! I also recommended this instructor for one of my friends. He also had the same issue with this instructor.

Hi, it’s a shame that you didn’t contact us if you weren’t happy with your driving instructor.
Rick was a really great instructor
Rick was a really great instructor, he clearly showed me how to do manoeuvres and corrected any bad habits that I picked up. He was very funny and enjoyable to sit with which helped me feel less anxious when I was getting close to my test.
It was easy to book and rearrange lesson times which was very useful too.

Amazing driving classes with Akhtar Ali in Swansea
I am so happy that I could take driving classes with Akhtar Ali in Swansea. He is an amazing driving instructor! Very passionate about his work, providing lots of very useful feedback (which goes beyond just passing the driving test) and I am especially thankful for being patient with my improving skills. The classes were very well organized, with good theory before and practice on real test routes. I have passed the test first time in Swansea. I can highly recommend driving classes with Akhtar Ali to anybody without any doubt.

Stephen Trimnell best driving instructor around Bristol
Been driving with Stephen since 19th August and just passed my driving test first time with only 2 minors. He’s a brilliant instructor and would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn around Bristol.

Steven is bristols best
I’ve had Steven in Bristol giving me driving lessons and I can honestly say he is great! Exactly what you need to pass! Which I did first time thanks to his teaching, he has been accommodating when I’ve had family issues meaning I’ve missed lessons but he was always understanding and I’m 100% sure he will get you passing your driving test in no time!

Bennetts are amazing
I could not rate Louise and Bennett’s Driving School highly enough. After 2 failed attempts with previous instructors for reasons out of my control I did not have any faith that I would pass. However Louise built my confidence and skills within 6 month. She is truly the best and I will forever be grateful.
