The greatest driving instructor
Paul Barwick made my experience the best it could’ve possibly been. I was never nervous in the car as Paul made me feel very safe and comfortable as he is very friendly and easy to get along with. As well as being friendly he is all round good at what he does. He made it so easy for me to understand anything and when I asked questions he always answered in a straight forward way and never made me feel stupid for asking. I passed my driving test first try and I believe that I couldn’t have done it without Paul, he was FABULOUS.

Best Xmas gift 2025
Firstly big thank you to Bilal Siddique my car instructor who accepted me with a very short period of time notice. 1 and half weeks before the Practical test. He gave his very best to help and guide me until last minute before the test. This is my best Xmas gift for this year ** pass with 0 minor **
Thank you to A class team to make my car lesson journey possible and successful.

5🌟 Teaching - Norbert
I had an excellent experience learning with A-Class. Norbert was a brilliant teacher, remaining calm and patient throughout the lessons. His clear teaching style is the reason I passed first time with only two minors. I would highly recommend.

I’ve just passed my practical driving…
I’ve just passed my practical driving test and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Eli from A-Class Driving School.
Eli is an absolutely terrific instructor and a true professional. From day one, he was patient, calm, and incredibly clear in the way he explained things. He has a great way of building your confidence while making sure you fully understand not just how to pass the test, but how to be a safe and competent driver for life.
Every lesson felt structured and purposeful, and Eli always adapted his teaching to suit my learning style. He was honest about areas that needed improvement, supportive throughout the process, and never made me feel rushed or pressured.
I can’t recommend Eli highly enough, and A-Class Driving School as a whole has been fantastic. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable driving school with instructors who genuinely care about your success, this is the one.
Thank you, Eli and A-Class Driving School!

I was instructed by Elie at A Class
I was instructed by Elie who is an awesome tutor. He gets to the point, picks up what needs to be corrected very early and quickly.
He guides with persistence and helps one to assimilate the things that will get you to be a safe and reliable driver. Two thumbs up for him and A Class to have an instructor of his experience and calibre.
He helped me pass the test today!

Matt is a top class instructor
I couldn’t recommend Matt enough. He’s personable, knowledgeable and amazing at keeping you calm under pressure. He’s amazing at breaking things down into the simplest, most understandable terms and he’s exceptionally good at building your confidence slowly and surely. I passed my test first time with 4 minors and I never would’ve have been able to without Matt’s expertise. I owe him so much for helping me overcome the mental blocks that prevented me from driving for so long and anyone that needs a patient, understanding instructor who you can always have a friendly chat with should definitely consider Matt.

5⭐️ wonderful instructor
I’ve been having lessons with rob since March and very recently passed my test :) very happy with all my lessons and results. I am on the spectrum and rob has been exceptionally understanding and accommodating. Robs lessons have always been exceptionally useful and positive, even when making mistakes or getting anxious there was always the offer of stopping for a brief time before starting again and doing better. I would highly recommend rob :)
