What Our Students Say About Kevin Hopps

Kev is a fantastic instructor. Perfectly tailored lessons to my needs and got me through my test really fast.

My driving instructor was Kevin, who was very friendly and professional and offered reasonable prices. Never cancelled a lesson and helped me pass my test first time.

Kev was recommended to me by my wife who passed with his instructions and it was the best recommendation ever. Kev has been absolutely incredible and if it wasn’t for him I don’t think I would have passed as comfortably as I did. Kev is an absolute legend and I cannot give him enough credit.

Thank you to Kev for believing in me and helping me pass my test. Amazing driving instructor, full of humour, would definitely recommend!!

Kev is the best driving instructor you can get. He’s really easy to get along with and knows how to make you laugh if you’re feeling nervous at all. He also explains everything really clearly so you understand exactly what he means. I felt completely prepared when I did my test. If you can, definitely learn how to drive with Kev because you’ll be grateful you did. Thanks Kev.

First time pass and a big thank you Kev for being a brilliant instructor with your guidance and patience you gave me the confidence and skills to become a safe driver.

Just passed my test with Kev! Amazing instructor very friendly and professional and never cancelled or adjusted lessons. I passed feeling like a very confident driver. Would definitely recommend!

Joined up with Kev with 2-3 months left until my test, was nowhere near ready for it and he got me to pass first time. Absolute legend would 100% recommend, sound bloke and great teacher.

Kev was amazing, he got my confidence up and the lessons were so enjoyable. I looked forward to driving every week with him, and he was so calm and fun to learn with. I passed first time with him, and I really could not recommend anyone more than him. If you're looking for an instructor that is super knowledgeable, but also gets you on the road having fun then Kev is your man.

I could not recommend Kevin Hopps from 1st Driving School more - he is patient, kind and absolutely hilarious which instantly put me at ease. He’s also incredibly knowledgeable about the roads and driving test - for someone who panics a lot this was great and I could’ve asked for a better instructor. Thank you so so much Kev!

Kev is the guy! You wont find a better driving instructor in Nottingham than Kevin Hopps! He made me feel comfortable in the car which made me enjoy my lessons. He is very reliable and I will be recommending him to everyone looking for a driving instructor.

Had my first test with Kevin and passed ! Honestly it’s been nice having him as an instructor! I recommend him!

I had a great experience, Kev helped me out a lot and was always reliable and on time. He got me to a point where I was making little to no mistakes (big or small). I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He was very friendly and is an easy person to talk to and get along with.

Kev is an amazing instructor, I would recommended him highly to everyone wanting to learn to drive. He is patient, understanding and makes you feel extremely comfortable and at ease throughout every lesson. He will do his utmost best to support you in everything in order to pass and not to mention provides a lot of laughs. Thanks a lot Kev for all your support, i’ll definitely miss our lessons.

Kev's a legend. After only having a week to find a new driving instructor after being let down by the one I had I found Kev Hopps at 1st Driving school. He is the most lovely man ever, he puts you at ease and is very knowledgeable. Thanks to him I passed my driving test first time. I’d recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much.

Kevin Hopps was an amazing instructor and helped me pass first time with only 1 minor. Would highly recommend any new drivers starting out to go with Kev, lovely bloke!

Want to say a massive thank you to Kev. What a great instructor. Always made me feel so comfortable and didn’t get angry if I did things wrong. Was very calm and collected. Cracked jokes and made you feel at ease. Couldn’t have asked for a better first driving instructor.

1st Driving School is the best motoring school around, they have reliable instructors and are very down to earth and polite instructors who treat people like a good friend. My instructor was Kevin Hopps and he is a great instructor and I wasn't with him long and I passed my test thanks to Kevin.

OUTSTANDING DRIVING SCHOOL.If you can, Kevin Hopps is the instructor your want. He was a very good instructor who was always on time and reliable. He is very patient and is always willing to teach those who are willing to learn. His car was always in immaculate condition he never tried to take the mick by longing the lesson amount to pass, as soon as you felt ready he would be recommending you book a test if you haven’t already. Would definitely recommend 1st Driving School to anyone who wants to learn or even to do an extended driving courses, and especially the driving instructor Kevin Hopps.

EXCELLENT DRIVING SCHOOL AND INSTRUCTOR. Kev at 1st Driving School was a great instructor who always puts my development and that of his other pupils first. He demands the highest standards from his pupils, pushing me and supporting every step of the way so that I went into my test feeling completely confident that I would pass.

Great experience throughout, Kev was a great instructor and helped get me to the point of passing. Highly recommend.

Kev was absolutely fantastic! He was very patient with me when I needed it, extremely knowledgeable and didn't overload me with information straight away, always kept to the bookings we arranged and was a genuine down to earth person. I couldn't recommend a better driving instructor - he helped me pass first time. Thank you Kev!

Best teacher ever!! Passed first time with 2 minors and this was all thanks to kev! He really built my confidence driving, cant recommend enough!

Kev is a really great instructor! He’s patient, honest and works hard to help you in any areas you struggle. Kev genuinely wants the best for you and is passionate about what he does. He is great fun, reliable and makes learning to drive an enjoyable experience. I will miss having lessons with him!

Kev is the one! Having had bad experiences with previous instructors I went into my lessons with Kev with a lot of anxiety. After the first few minutes of the first lesson all my nerves had disappeared. Kev is a fantastic mentor and should definitely be your first choice when booking with this school! His teaching style is thorough and fair, he takes the time to explain everything in detail, both what you could do better, what you did well and where to go from there. He goes above and beyond what is expected of a driving instructor, and makes driving a fun and enjoyable experience constantly. On top of this he is always on point with his sense of humour and his taste in music is also brilliant. I will be recommending Kev to everyone I know that wants to pass their test and I strongly recommend him to whoever might be reading this review. Great guy and an even better teacher. Book your lessons with him and you won’t be disappointed.

Kevin Hopps has been the best instructor I’ve had, and I would recommend him to anyone. He is a very calm person by nature which provides a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere in the car. He is also excellent at building your confidence up – having failed 4 driving tests prior to starting my lessons with Kev, test nerves were something I really struggled with - I had three-month worth of lessons with Kev, and I am a completely different driver. He helps you through your errors by questioning your thought process behind every action and pointing out what you are missing. I now consider myself a very safe and confident driver, and by the end of my journey with Kev, I saw him more of a mentor than an instructor.
