I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience learning to drive with Lucian! He’s been an amazing instructor from start to finish, always patient, supportive and great at explaining everything clearly. He made me feel confident behind the wheel and helped me improve every lesson, making sure I was fully prepared for my test. Thanks to Lucian’s teaching, encouragement and dedication, I managed to pass my driving test in just 4 months! I’m genuinely so happy with the result and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He made the whole experience enjoyable and helped me build the confidence I needed to pass. I would 100% recommend Lucian to anyone looking to learn to drive. If you want an instructor who is patient, professional, supportive and genuinely wants you to succeed, he’s the one to go to. Thank you so much, Lucian, for everything! 🚗🎉

I would highly recommend Hanna as a driving instructor. She was an excellent teacher and gave me lots of useful memory tools, which really helped me remember what I needed to be doing and made me feel much more confident behind the wheel. She took me along lots of potential test routes, so I felt well prepared for my test and was familiar with the types of roads and situations I might encounter. I also found her markers and guidance for all the manoeuvres extremely helpful, making them much easier to remember and carry out correctly. Thanks to her patience, guidance and preparation, I passed my driving test first time! I’m really grateful for all her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone learning to drive.

Luthfur Rahman was a brilliant driving instructor. He was friendly and relaxed and I became so much more confident over the course of my lessons thanks to his encouragement. We had a good laugh sometimes, but he also gave me clear, specific feedback and focused on areas that needed improving. I passed first time!

Gaia was a phenomenal teacher and because of her I passed my driving test first time. She is so patient during lessons and was very reassuring during my first few lessons when I was a bit nervous. She is also just a lively person to talk to and be around and driving lessons with her were actually really fun!

Hannah was my driving instructor she was so calm and relaxed, helped me relax a lot - I hadn’t been for any other lessons so driving with Hannah from the start of my driving experience was the best choice I made and I wouldn’t pick anyone else I was so lucky to have her teach me. I was lucky enough with such a good instructor to PASS 1st time! Thank you again Hanna :)

So today i passed my driving test and i can't thank Johnathan Phillips enough for all your hard work getting me up to scratch to take my test, but most of all believing in me and building my confidence. Jon is one of the best, he's very professional and straight talking. He gave me so much confidence and taught me to believe in myself again. i'm that girl that was terrified to even go in a car let alone be good enough to pass my test first time round. I unfortunately had a tragedy happen in my family and didn't go in a car for over two years and now look i have just passed my test and it's all thanks to you Jon, I truly mean that thank you so much x

Thank you Hanna for your patience, flexibility and kindness. Learning to drive wasn’t always my favourite activity but Hanna always went out of her way to create a relaxed and calm learning environment. She is very easy to talk to and from our first lesson together I always felt she had my best interests in mind. Thank you for helping me pass first time!
