Just passed first time with Kim Hart! Such an amazing instructor, she was really patient with me while I was learning and really helped me to build confidence in my driving. I was really dreading driving to start with but she made lessons really enjoyable and I always looked forward to them. Highly recommend!

I had Lee as my driving instructor. He was always very calm and kept me motivated throughout the whole year I was learning with him. He made sure I was 100% prepared before letting me go and take the test because I feel like he honestly cares about his students and wants them to pass first time. Very good driving school and I would definitely recommend Elite to other people learning to drive.

Passed yesterday with Brian Lynch! I had previously taken lessons with other instructors before switching to Brian, and the difference was night and day. Brian is truly on another level—his patience, kindness, and ability to adapt to his students’ needs are outstanding. From the start, he made sure to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment, which helped me gain confidence behind the wheel. He is incredibly flexible with scheduling, always trying to accommodate his students as much as possible. If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about his students and goes the extra mile to help them succeed, I cannot recommend Brian enough. Thank you, Brian, for everything!

After struggling for a bit, I was finally able to pass my exam all with my instructor, Adrienne’s, help! She continued to stick by me, teach me and give me hope for passing my test! In which, I was able to pass with 0 faults! So grateful and happy.

Kim Hart is an amazing driving instructor! Thanks to her, I passed my driving test first time. She is reliable and her lessons are always carefully planned to focus on individual needs. Kim didn’t just help me pass my test, she gave me the skills and confidence to be an independent driver. I'll truly miss our weekly chats and her funny stories during lessons. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch instructor!

I took my lessons with Kim Hart who helped me pass first time! Her lessons are thorough and she can adeptly adapt her lessons to your learning style. I would recommend Kim Hart as she knows the test areas very well and can share lots of valuable tips for those areas. Thank you Kim!

I took lessons with Kim Hart for around a year and passed yesterday first time with two minors. Thank you, Kim. She was very reliable and punctual and had a plan for each lesson. When it came to the test, it felt easy in comparison. And I didn't come across better prices elsewhere.

I managed to pass my test first time after taking lessons with Tony. His relaxed and encouraging attitude helped me make good progress in the lessons. The friendly chatting and jokes during lessons made things less stressful and something to look forward to. I would highly recommend Tony and Elite!

Matt was a great instructor who made sure you understood exactly what and why he was having you do what you were doing. He made lessons fun.

I recently passed my driving test having used ELITE and their instructor Matt. He was a great instructor, with patience and great technical knowledge that helped explain the processes behind an action and your decision making. I enjoyed his company during lessons, and through his teaching I was able to learn all of the detail and manoeuvres to help me pass the exam and go on to drive by myself. I thank him and ELITE for making that possible.

Sue is a brilliant instructor! Her calm nature and experience put me at ease, which helped build my confidence. She is very organised and always has a clear plan at the start of each lesson. This helped optimise my test preparation making me feel ready for my test. I felt listened to and I appreciated that she gave positive feedback. I have already recommended her to others. Thank you, Sue!

I just passed my test in Crawley after learning with Gary since March! Not only is he personable and easy to chat to, he has also been so helpful in building up my confidence and making me enjoy driving as i’ve been nervous about it for years. I would recommend him to anyone after a manual instructor. Thank you Gary!
