What Our Students Say About Us

I had Andy as my driving instructor and he was great! Very patient and helped me pass first time. He helped make sure I was confident driving and taught me all the skills needed to drive independently which have been incredibly helpful since passing. I would recommend him and 1st Driving School!!

I am thrilled to say I passed my driving test on the first attempt, and I know I could not have done it without Kev’s help. From the very beginning, Kev made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, which made each lesson enjoyable and stress-free. His patience, guidance, and fantastic sense of humour made all the difference — I always looked forward to our lessons. If you are looking for a driving instructor, I highly recommend Kev — you will be in great hands!

I took 20 hours with Faizah and passed my test! She's very professional, but also very friendly and makes you feel comfortable in the car. She's very knowledgeable and always gives little tips and tricks. She stayed patient throughout and I would recommend her highly!!! Thank you 1st driving school for directing me to Faizah.

My instructor was Faizah, she was patient but prompt in our lessons, they were very enjoyable and I managed to get my pass after only 12 hours of lessons! Thanks for both 1st Driving School and a special thanks to Faizah! Highly recommend.

I had Rif as my instructor and he was great! Always on time for lessons with a clear plan and so patient. He has helped me become a confident driver and recently passed my test first time.

Gavin is absolutely professional, patient and a caring driving instructor I have been lucky to have him as my instructor and I’m thankful to him for transforming me into a confident driver on the road. Gavin explains everything with lots of knowledge and overall he’s just a very good driving instructor I will recommend him to anyone.

Gavin is a wonderful, supportive driving instructor! He is super patient, clear, and made learning to drive easy and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone learning to drive!

Usman was really helpful in my driving journey, he really is a great and patient instructor. Without him I wouldn’t have been able to have the skills and confidence I had to pass first time. Many thanks Usman!

Stuart Nelson’s patience and understanding has been exceptional throughout my driving lessons. I put off learning to drive until I was 20 because of a lack of confidence and the nerves previous instructors left me with. I couldn't envision myself ever driving until Stuart came along. He's been the ideal instructor, always listening, assisting, and supporting me every step of the way. I can’t wait to put all the skills he’s taught me into practice on the roads as a now full licensed driver. A massive thank you to you, Stuart and on the first attempt too!

Great driving instructor, Crystal was patient and understanding and always made sure I did things I was comfortable with.

My Instructor, Mr Baig, was excellent and really helped me learn and develop throughout my lessons.

Passed 1st time with Crystal. Best driving instructor ever, very thorough!

I’m happy to pass my test today. Ash is a very kind , helpful and patient instructor. Very detailed to clarify all the instructions. He let me build up more confidence on driving. I’m strongly recommend him for new learners. Thank you Ash.

My instructor Andy was a great help throughout the entire learning process, with plenty of patience and helpful advice. I passed first time and would 100% recommend!

I was able to pass first time thanks to 1st Driving School

I had Rif as my instructor and he did amazing at keeping my nerves down and knew what to say to help with my driving.

Kevin Hopps is a top notch teacher. Super easy-going and genuine guy. He makes driving enjoyable and teaches you what you need to know whilst not making a big deal out of mistakes. I passed first time so he clearly knows what he's talking about. I've already recommended him to my friends who are learning to drive.

Such a great driving school. Dan, my instructor, was super at everything. He explained and demonstrated anything I was confused about and helped me pass, first time with no minors! Couldn’t recommend more!

I passed my test with Gavin today best instructor out there. He helped me a lot with my nerves . I would recommend Gavin to anyone that needs to pass their test first time.Thank you Gavin.

Best teacher ever, Faizah. Absolutely amazing, my instructor was kind, informative, encouraging and gave amazing feedback. Lessons where done with care and attention to where I needed them to be, nothing was left outstanding when it came time for my driving test. I passed with the first try with only 25 hours of lessons done. It wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of my instructor with their clear and encouraging advice and hard work.

Kev is an amazing instructor and just a generally very laid back and friendly guy. He really helped to build my confidence by being patient and explaining things clearly and making sure I was fully prepared for my test. I would definitely recommend Kev to any learner looking for an instructor.

Kev is a fantastic instructor, a great guy. I read up on his reviews, booked my first lesson with him and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor. He really makes you feel at ease when you’re driving which helps if you’re someone who can get the nerves. His friendliness, patience and advice really gives you the confidence to push forwards and perform better for yourself. He was really straight forward and always explained things in the best way possible. I’d highly recommend him, don’t miss out! Thank you Kev!

Ash is a very calm and kind instructor. I got a pass on my first go thanks to him. He takes account your strengths and weaknesses and ensures you are extremely prepared for your test. Thank you so much!!

Crystal and Stuart are the best they make it really easy to learn they don’t complicate it and they make sure your ready before you go for your test.
