Theo is a brilliant instructor, he's very funny, reliable and clear in his instructions. His humour took the edge off of those lessons I found a bit more challenging and it just helps you relax. I'd h... See more

Really really good instructor
Really really good instructor. I went in with only driving a car slowly in car parks in first gear twice. And after the 40 hours course, I had passed first time.
Highly recommended.
Knowledgeable instructor
I took a 15 hour course with Pradeep after failing my first driving test elsewhere a year ago. Pradeep is very attentive, patient, and informative. The car he uses is user friendly which makes learning much easier. I passed this time with no problems.

Pradeep is the best
Pradeep absolutely amazing instructor would definitely recommend Bristol intensive to anyone looking to start learning.

Theo was amazing, ways went above and beyond to help out and booked me in when I've needed extra lessons despite a busy schedule!
Intensive driving lessons
The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and tailored lessons to my pace. I gained confidence behind the wheel and passed my test on the first try. Highly recommended for anyone eager to fast-track their driving skills!"
Pradeep was an amazing teacher
Pradeep was an amazing teacher, definitely the best driving instructor I've ever had. He was supportive, patient, kind and fun, and had a great attitude in dealing with nervousness.
I had failed three times with previous teachers a few years ago, but passed on my first test with Pradeep. Thank you so much !
I had 20 hours after not driving since before the pandemic, which was the right amount of time. Would recommend Bristol Intensives :)
Pradeep was a fantastic instructor…
Pradeep was a fantastic instructor would 100 percent recommend to anyone passed first time 5 minor faults
Excellent instructor
Pradeep is an amazing instructor. Very patient and explains things clearly. Great sense of humour too! I was quite nervous to begin with but he made me feel comfortable and I passed first time! Thank you Pradeep.
Passed my test first try
Passed my test first try
Prads, my instructor, was excellent at teaching me at the safety, comfortability and fun that driving brings. He made sure I knew everything that I needed to pass my test within such a small time frame. I thank him and I am greatly appreciated for his time.
Faultless Instructor
Theo was my driving instructor to teach me to drive to pass my driving practical test (I’m a teenager). He always clearly explained exactly what I needed to do to pass aspects of my test as well as answering all my questions relating to driving. Also a brilliant character, funny and witty. Thoroughly recommend him as an instructor.
Pradeep is an exceptional instructor
Pradeep is an exceptional instructor. His techniques of teaching are well-honed, with very good communication skills and patience. Very considerate and adapted to my individual learning style to help guide me, despite struggling with previous instructors.
Thanks again to Pradeep, for getting me to pass my test first time!!

Brilliant. First time pass thanks to Theo!
Booked an Automatic course with Theo. First booked and spoke to Pradeep who was super helpful right from the start, answered questions and was amazing with getting my test booked and rearranged.
My lessons were with Theo in a semi-intensive format. Theo is an amazing driving instructor, I passed my test first time despite being ridiculously anxious about driving. Theo is such a good instructor, I would recommend him to anyone. Especially if you're nervous or struggling as he will absolutely help you through it. Enjoyed my lessons even though I didn't really like driving (never wanted to drive but needed to, never expected to pass!), always enjoyed the lessosn, had a laugh with Theo and he taught everything exactly in a way that worked to help me learn, he always adapted the lessons to suit me and put things into terms easy to understand. Can't thank him and pradeep enough for all their time and support through my course. Really nice people and a really good company. Would recommend everyone to book here.
Started learning with Pradeep from…
Started learning with Pradeep from scratch having never had a lesson before. He teaches in a very simple and layed back manner which helps with nerves a lot. Passed my test first time with one minor after only 16 hours of lessons. Would highly recommend
Best company
Honestly, Theo is the best instructor I've had. I've been learning on and off for 14 years and I've finally passed today because of his patience and dedication to me. I couldn't of done it without him. I'm so greatful
Thank you!
Pradeep is a very good instructor. During my 5 day intensive we went over all the skills needed to pass my test, which I did first time thanks to his help. He identified what I needed to work on most and was very good through stressful situations, helping me to stay calm. Thank you!
Pradeep was great.
I was in a bit of a rush to learn before starting at university, and Pradeep made a big effort to squeeze me into his schedule around my working hours. He gave me good advice about the theory test and was happy to answer any questions I had. I'd had lessons when I was 17, but never took the practical test. I'm now 31, so there was a considerable gap and I'd forgotten nearly everything. I didn't have access to private practice with friends/family either so I was basically starting from scratch. It all felt very organised; Pradeep was always on time and texted me confirmation the day before each lesson. I booked 35 hours but I only needed 31.5 in the end (my unused hours are getting refunded). Pradeep was patient and kind during lessons, he explained mistakes very clearly and made sure I fully understood the issue before we carried on. His techniques for manoeuvres are nice and clear e.g., following his formula made parallel parking seem simple. Pradeep never got frustrated or cross, he was just encouraging. He asks good questions to make you think about your actions and work out the answer for yourself. I think Pradeep is good at getting to know people's learning styles and understanding them as individual drivers. He was happy for me to take breaks when I needed to. The lessons are very long, so it's pretty tiring, but it's amazing how much improvement can be made in such a short amount of time. I went from beginner to passing first time in 13 days.
All round great instructor - totally worth it.
Very experienced and professional made…
Very experienced and professional made me comfortable the minute I sat in car polite and understanding excellent tutoring. Thank you
Strongly recommend
Passed first time with only 2 minor faults, instructor was very helpful. Recommend.
Excellent Instructor
Pradeep was an excellent instructor, It was just last week that I started my 30 hour intensive course after just turning 17. I had very little driving experience. Pradeep helped me fix bad habits, this very quickly helped me feel more confident. Pradeep also keeps very composed and helps you feel at ease whilst driving.
He thought that I was ready for my test at 25 hours so we cut the course by 5 hours.
Today I had my driving test and passed with 4 minors.
Great Instructor, couldn’t recommend more!
