My experience in driving at first was quite sluggish in the first few lessons but honestly I wouldn't have got that confidence if it wasn't for my instructor Jim. He knows how to teach you well and ca... See more

I had Neena as my Driving Instructor with RED and I had the best learning experience with her. She taught me how to be a safe, confident, and responsible driver - not just for my driving test but for life on the road in general. Her method of teaching was made it easy to learn and get the hang of things and I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better teacher. I definitely would not have been able to pass without her, and I ended up passing first time which is something I didn’t think I would be able to do.

Tee (Red driving instructor)
Tee was amazing! So patient, understanding, and clear. I had a previous driving instructor and I felt like I was getting nowhere, after a long break I went to Tee and she made sure I was confident in my ability. She made learning fun and I always felt supported. I passed my test first time thanks to Tee. 10/10 would highly recommend to any drivers.

I Paid £1600 and hoped to become a driver instructor. However, I was mislead, my training never provided as promised. RED Provided only one lesson of work for the entire week and charged full franchise fee. I had to stop as I could not afford it anymore. I was pressured and threaten by RED to pay franchise fee even not working. Due to RED’s negligence and incompetence I failed my part 3. Never be fooled by what RED promises you. RED only care about your money nothing else. Worst driving school ever.

My daughter was having lessons with Red…
Avoid Jason Evans . My daughter was having lessons with Red in the Guildford area , the instructors name is Jason Evans , he was very rude to my daughter and undermined her confidence when she was driving with him , he made her nervous and make mistakes , he would chastise her for these which did not help .
After each lesson I would take my daughter driving the test routes for 2-3 hours each day , I could see she was driving better each time so didn’t understand how one week away from the test the instructor told her she wasn’t ready and would not pass , this carried on , everyday . The day before her test she had two hours driving instruction with Jason , I met her when she finished , went and had a coffee together , she broke down crying saying how horrible Jason had been to her . We chatted and then drove the routes again , best driving yet , I told her she could pass if she could drive like that on the test day with the examiner . On the day of the test she drove to the test centre and parked up , not perfectly , Jason said “ there , see , you don’t know what you are doing “ nice one Jason , just before the test you did it again undermining her confidence .
Totally unprofessional , Jason should not be doing this job if that’s his approach , in my opinion .
Fortunately my daughter and I ran through this scenario , the plan was to ignore Jason and what he said , put a mental block up to him , this approach worked on the day .
My daughter passed much to Jason’s bemusement .
I could not recommend RED as a driving school , I’m bewildered that they employ instructors like Jason , would avoid RED and Jason based on my experience .

Passed my test with Tihomir Zagorov earlier this week, and he was absolutely incredible! The nicest, down to earth guy, really made me feel safe, comfortable and assured, whilst also keeping me accountable for mistakes when necessary but most importantly really taking the time to hone and fix them. Genuine guy, really really happy with him.

First-time pass
Mariam is an amazing instructor without her I wouldn't have been able to pass on my first test, she made me feel really confident with my driving. Her way of teaching is really helpful, it helped me with fixing my mistakes, especially with my awareness. She's such a good instructor, definitely recommended her!!!

Adam Standage
Adam was a really great driving instructor, he was always very supportive and helped me feel comfortable in the car even as a nervous driver. His instructions were always clear and he often helped me understand with images and diagrams of what the cars position needed to look like or what to do. Adam was also super friendly and we had some great conversations while driving.

TERRIBLE
Some of the worst driving I've witnessed on the roads in Surrey. Shockingly awful lane discipline or awareness when to move with the flow of traffic and a completely wrong lane approach on a roundabout. What was even more shocking was when I was at the traffic lights, there was no pupil, it was the instructor herself. It doesn't surprise me the state of how bad the standard of driving has fallen

Excellent driving instructor
Excellent driving instructor. James was patient, friendly, and always explained things clearly and tailored his teaching to my learning style, which helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test first time. I would highly recommend James Ursell to anyone looking to learn to drive.

Amanat Ullah
Amanat Ullah was a lovely instructor. He has very good knowledge and experience and knows how to teach regardless of age and background. He is very adaptive and knows how to teach you no matter where your head is at in a lesson. Before doing a test he will make sure you are fully prepared and confident covering absolutely everything necessary to ensure security in taking the final exam.

Passed my Driving Test with Lucian Pop
I highly recommend Lucian Pop from Red Driving School.
I started with no driving experience, and Lucian taught me everything from scratch. He was always patient, explained things clearly, and never made me feel rushed or stressed. No matter how many questions I had, he always took the time to help and make sure I understood.
What I appreciated most was how much confidence he gave me throughout my lessons. He believed in me when I doubted myself and always encouraged me to keep improving.
I’m so happy to say that I passed my driving test with Lucian’s help, and I couldn’t have done it without his support and guidance.
If you’re looking for someone friendly, patient and helps you become a safe and confident driver, I highly recommend him.
