Marc is a brilliant driving instructor. He is so patient and understanding which is very important when finding a driving instructor. He is very calm especially when making mistakes. Marc helped me become a better driver and build up my confidence helping me pass my test. He never made me feel stupid or annoyed that I made mistakes, instead he would support and motivate me to do better. Music taste is questionable but every lesson I have had with Marc has been amazing, as well as teaching me we had fun and laughs all around, he is a fantastic person. He reaches above and beyond to teach you and make sure you are test ready, without Marc I would not have been able to pass my test first time!! Thank you so much for everything you have done for me Marc, I could not have done it without you.

Waheed is an amazing driving instructor! Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test with confidence. He doesn’t just teach you how to drive, but also explains why safe driving is so important, which really helped me become a better driver. Every lesson was calm, clear and enjoyable. I’d highly recommend Waheed to anyone looking for a great instructor.

Absolutely amazing. Genuinely could not recommend his teaching style any higher. Amazing guy who does his job perfectly- would’ve been a mistake to not book him.

Ryan in Cheltenham was a brilliant teacher. He made me feel at ease and helped me overcome my anxieties towards driving.

After struggling with learning in a manual car, James kindly offered me lessons in his automatic. He was incredibly understanding and supportive, especially as someone who is neurodivergent. James always made sure I was comfortable and accommodated any needs I had. His bubbly, friendly, and chatty personality made every lesson enjoyable and easy to understand. Thanks to his patience and encouragement, I felt confident, test ready, and much calmer behind the wheel. I couldn’t recommend James enough!

I am really grateful to Waheed for believing in me and helping me pass my driving test. He has been highly professional, always encouraging and building my confidence to succeed. He has been incredibly patient, calm and supportive instructor who helped me to focus on weak areas by explaining me through diagrams. Thank you Waheed for all your guidance and hardwork. Highly recommend Waheed for anyone who is looking to learn manual and automatic driving lessons!!

I am so ecstatic to have recently passed my ADI Part 3 exam and am so grateful to Avind Bhai who has helped me loads, particularly with how ADI part 3 test actually works and how to apply every step of the 17 competencies within it which made me super confident in achieving my goal. When I was started my training, I was so frustrated and confused because my confidence level was so poor and I had no idea how exactly to overcome it . Thanks to Avind Bhai who helped me tirelessly and most importantly with lots of guidance, he provided me with model Q&A’s, gave lots of important tips and mentally helped me to overcome these obstacles. I am so lucky that I found such great Part 3 instructor who is so passionate about his job and has lots of solid experience. I highly suggest to PDI’s prepping for their Part 3 test to definitely talk to Avind bhai, take his training and seek his valuable advice to pass this exam. Once again many thanks Abind Bhai for your kind support and cooperation and I wish you all the very best.

Marcio was my driving instructor, and he was always made me believe in myself when driving as I was a nervous driver to begin with. Today I passed and I couldn’t have done it without his help.

Avind was my main trainer for my ADI Part 3, he always made time for me and gave me good feedback. Thanks to his dedication and calm natured training I managed to pass my test which I never thought I would do! Also Steve always believed I could do it as well when I didn’t believe in myself!

I had Libby as my driving instructor, i was so nervous to start driving lessons as soon as my first lesson was over i was excited for every lesson, she's a kind , very patient and professional instructor i couldn't recommend her enough. She explains everything so clearly, even if you aren't sure she'll go through it until you understand. Thank you !!
