Instructor: Sagar

Sagar was a knowledgeable and experienced instructor who taught me well and I ended up passing first time. I can recommend Sagar for those looking to learn how to drive a manual transmission.

Sagar was great!

I had a great experience with my instructor Sagar, who was very friendly, patient, informative and provided clear explanations. He clearly knew the routes well and was able to identify and correct any mistakes I made. I recently passed with 1 minor, and I strongly recommend Robbie's driving school

Amazing Driving School Company

I'm 23 years old and I have just passed my driving test today with 0 faults thanks to this driving school. I booked 30 hours worth of lessons with Robbie, all within a month before my test. Even with such a short notice, Robbie managed to set me up to do lessons with Onur, which I'm very thankful for.

Onur has been a tremendous driving instructor. With my previous instructor from a different company, I was dreading each lesson and was made to feel incapable of driving. Onur helped me build up that confidence within the first lesson, and made a comfortable learning environment, where I wasn't taught how to drive, not scolded at for making mistakes. He made me feel okay about making mistakes whilst driving, correcting them so I don't do them again. From fixing my bad mirror habits to my terrible lane discipline, I can't thank him enough.

I definitely recommend Robbie's Driving School from my experiences, the handling of my bookings were phenomenal and my instructor Onur smashed it out the park, instilling good teachings and confidence in me to pass with 0 faults. Thank you so much

An absolute 5-star experience

An absolute 5-star experience! As a nervous beginner, I was very anxious, but my instructor Jalaal made me feel completely at ease. He was so supportive and gave great feedback. Highly recommended to anyone looking to learn!"

If i could leave zero stars

If i could leave zero stars, i would. He is disgusting and unprofessional. I had to chase him for 3 days in order to get my driving test booked and he kept on telling me when i would possibly get a call and it didnt show. He called me and incorrectly claimed i paid for my test a day before it was booked, which is a lie. Avoid him! HE ACCUSED ME OF FRAUD LIKE WHAT?

Great learning experience

I've had a great few months learning to drive manual with Roshan, he was really helpful in getting me test ready - and with a pass on the first test! I would recommend him to other learners.

Fantastic Instructor for a Learner Over 30

I passed my driving test recently as someone over 30 and my experience learning with Onur was amazing.

Beyond being an incredibly professional and personable individual, Onur’s teaching is clear, pragmatic and based in practical situations I would experience both in the test as well as on the road in future. This was exactly what I needed from an instructor and enabled me to build the skills and confidence needed to pass my test.

Additionally, the flexibility shown with fitting me in on short notice around my work schedule was so helpful. I cannot thank him enough.

Sagar is a warm, patient and knowledgable instructor :)

I’ve had several driving instructors across Bristol and London over the years, and Sagar is by far the best! He is calm, patient, supportive and really invested in helping his students become confident drivers.

His tips and sayings worked brilliantly for my neurodivergent brain, and I always felt respected and understood. I never felt patronised or like an inconvenience. He was also incredibly flexible when helping me prepare for my test.

After multiple attempts to learn over the years, I finally passed at 33. This was a really fun and rewarding experience and I can't recommend Sagar highly enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First time pass with driving instructor Jalal

I passed my driving test first time thanks to Jalal. He is an incredibly kind and patient instructor who always took the time to support my learning. Whenever I struggled with something, he would carefully go over the theory, suggest helpful videos, and then give me the opportunity to practise those skills in the following lesson. I could see a huge improvement almost every time.
Jalal made sure I felt fully prepared and confident for my test, and I truly couldn’t have done it without him. A massive thank you to him for being such an outstanding instructor!

Great driving school and instructor

I changed over from a previous instructor to Robbie’s. I had Saad as an instructor and would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn! He instructed and taught me in a clear and well explained manner. Was patient and understand if it took longer for me to understand something and would explain in multiple ways to help it make sense. He insured I was comfortable in what I was doing and would explain ways in which would make driving easier to understand! I passed my test on my first time after learning with him.

Wonderful driving with instructor Richard (36 hours)

Did about 36 hours with Richard. Wonderful instructor. Lots of lovely chats during our driving sessions and lots of tips and help points.
I did go in to the first classes thinking I'd know and was a bit stubborn with some of the things I did while driving but Richard was able to get me to change to the better and right habits whilst keeping cool and calm at all times. Mistakes were nicely explained to me why it was wrong when made and overall just a wonderful and very helpful couple of lessons. Thank you very much!
Passed my driving test on the second try (unfortunate miscommunication incident during the first test with another driver on the road caused me to fail, nothing that could've been fixed through lessons. Just wrong place wrong time).

Robbie’s school gave me a good service…

Robbie’s school gave me a good service finding me an instructor very quickly, however I had a bad experience with my instructor Stu. He would be annoyed when I made mistakes and he would ask me why i did it, if I answer something back, he will tell me I have excuses, but if I say that I don't know why I did it and that I am sorry he will start an uncomfortable silence and lose time from the lesson because he was annoyed.( Ex: if you didn't put the clutch in before a gear) I did tell him I don't have my theory or any driving knowledge and if I ask him a question he will answer with “I told you 20 times”. I wouldn't recommend him unless you like a very harsh methodology otherwise he will make you feel like you are useless. He even compared me with other student who “knew more than me” in the 4th lesson. I honestly don't think he has any teaching skills, he only likes if you get things quickly.

100% recommend Rich

Rich very clear and concise at explaining things. He made learning to drive really straight forward and enjoyable for me. I passed first time with no minors. So all in all very happy with my lessons with him. Thanks very much.

Reluctant driver transformed!

I was a very reluctant driver who had to be encouraged at, quite literally, every turn. Richard was an excellent instructor who was very calm, patient, friendly and professional. He was really supportive on the test days (I had two) and made it a much easier experience. I had done a driving school week previously but wish I'd just gone straight into learning with an instructor as it was much more effective. I highly recommend Richard especially if you are a nervous driver. I really enjoy driving now- something I never thought I'd say!
