I passed my test first time only 1 minor thanks to Ajith, he was an excellent instructor very patient and knowledgeable would recommend him for your instructor

Kevin was the most amazing instructor! He made me feel so comfortable while learning and was always so supportive. Couldn’t have passed without him!

From my experience, it was a very lovely and soothing time. My instructor, Andy, was humorous, caring, extremely helpful and made driving not only easy to learn, but fun too. I want to thank him for all his time and work as well as all instructors that do the same.

I had Gavin as my driving instructor. Learning to drive can be nerve-wracking, but Gavin was always kind and his friendly manner made it a really positive experience. He explained everything so well and always focused on how I could improve without ever making me feel discouraged.

I passed my driving test first time thanks to Kevin! I started as a very nervous driver but Kevin was incredibly patient and consistently kind. He always supported me and transformed me into a confident driver. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Crystal is hands down one of the most friendly, understanding and patient people I’ve ever met—not only as a driving instructor but as a person too. Crystal is extremely knowledgeable and skilled with her work—she has several different ways in which she teaches and easily adapts to your learning level and style. She encourages and pushes you to comfortable limits she feels confident you can achieve, whilst remaining vigilant and ensuring everyone’s safety. I was so nervous for the first 6 lessons, and Crystal built my confidence. I highly recommend Crystal.

I had Faizah as my instructor, she is an excellent high quality teacher that even when I was nervous she was able to calm me down and give me exceptional solution when driving and taught me new skills when by myself. I would high recommend her as an instructor and 1st Driving School especially if your a first time driver.

I had Faizah as my driving instructor and she was amazing!! I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Faizah. From the very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her calm, patient, and encouraging approach helped me progress quickly and feel at ease, even in more challenging situations. I highly recommend Faizah to anyone looking for a skilled instructor :)

I passed my driving test today, and I truly couldn’t have done it without Ash—the most patient, kind, and dedicated instructor I could’ve hoped for. From day one, he made me feel supported and understood, especially as someone who gets easily nervous. Ash created a calm, encouraging space where I could build confidence at my own pace. His explanations were always clear and thoughtful, helping me understand not just what to do, but why. Even when I doubted myself, he never gave up on me—and that belief made all the difference. Ash isn’t just an expert instructor; he’s a genuinely caring person who tailors each lesson with kindness and skill. If you’re anxious about driving or have struggled before, I wholeheartedly recommend him. Today’s pass means more than just a certificate—it’s a reminder of how far I’ve come, thanks to Ash. I’ll always be grateful for this journey.

I had an amazing experience with 1st Driving School!!! My Instructor (Andy) was excellent! He was very friendly, patient, and overall a really good teacher. due to him I passed first time. He helped build up my confidence and taught all the skills I will need when driving independently. Overall, I would highly recommend!!!

Julian Barker was my driving instructor. I had no confidence about driving on my first lesson so we started in a car park then went to a quiet road after.We then drove to the main road as my confidence built. I like the way he taught me as he gave me chance to drive instead of staying in the co-driver seat. Just pass the test under 50 hours of lesson!

Nasir was an excellent instructor and prepared me well. After to each lesson I felt like I improved and I was able to have fun whilst learning. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

I had Mo as my driving instructor and passed first time with him! He was incredibly encouraging and consistently pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way, helping me to become a more confident and capable driver. Mo was patient, flexible, and helped to correct all my mistakes with clear, constructive guidance. I always felt supported during lessons, and his calm approach made a big difference. I’d highly recommend Mo at 1st Driving School to any learner looking for a skilled and reliable instructor.

I had Usman as my instructor, and he was great in every situation and kept my confidence level up, and always made sure I drove perfectly.

I had a great experience with 1st Driving School . The instructor (Steve) was patient, professional, and really helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. Lessons were well-structured and easy to follow, and I appreciated how flexible they were with scheduling. Thanks to his guidance, I highly recommend for anyone looking for quality driving instruction!

Great service! It really helped build my confidence throughout the learning process and got me comfortable on the roads. I always felt at ease during lessons and was never pushed out of my comfort zone. I could have a good chat while driving and never felt scared. I would highly recommend Steve Sanghera to others as a driving instructor.

Highly recommend 1st Driving school, my instructor, Rif, has been amazing at teaching me how to drive, from start to end and guiding me through each every element of driving. Rif explained each concept thoroughly, allowing me to fully understand each concept and implement it into my driving. Because of Rif I was able to pass my theory and practical test 1st time! Thank you Rif!

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Andy Kerr. From the very first lesson, he was patient, professional, and highly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable behind the wheel, and always provided constructive feedback which lead me to pass first time. Couldn’t recommend a better instructor.

I’ve had a brilliant 8 months with my instructor Gavin. He is very patient and understanding and always makes time for you if you need help with anything regarding test. I would like to say a big thank you and I appreciate everything you have done.
