Just passed my driving test first time with Mark from Elite! It's taken a long time getting here but Mark has been so patient and helpful, I couldn't have done it without him. Thanks a million Mark! .

In total booked 2 packages of lessons. My son completed 1 package and 1/2 of 2nd. Instructor retired; Elite said to contact him and be said to contact Elite. In all we have lost 1/2 a package with no one taking responsibility or seemingly caring this has happened. Driving lessons are a luxury especially to a disabled single parent.
Response : Hi Swearman family, we have no record of a conversation regarding your issue, please can you give me your sons name and the instructor he was with and I'll get to the bottom of it and make sure you are refunded for any unused lesson credit due back to you. Please send these details to my email kev@elite-driving-school. Co. Uk thank you.

I couldn't thank Angus enough. Outstanding driving Instructor. No messing about. He makes you feel comfortable and has a great character. Reccomend him 100%. I passed first time. That's down to his fantastic teaching skills. Thank you so much.

I couldn't recommend Elite enough for their brilliant and inexpensive service. Almost all the credit has to go to my instructor, Rob, who guided me through every step of the process and was more than happy to repeat steps if he knew that I wasn't quite comfortable with them yet. He knew exactly how to approach each new hurdle with a relaxed and positive mindset and allowed me to learn with hands on experience rather than just telling me about the concepts. During the build up to my test he was very understanding of the stress that I was under and never got angry if I made a mistake that we had been over before as reasured me that everyone makes mistakes close to test day and it's just about how you deal with them. Finally, Robs use of the checklist book and progress reports for each lesson allowed me to reflect on what I needed to work on each week and track my progress between sessions. Thanks to Rob and Elite I passed my test first time today with a drive that felt comfortable because I knew I had the skills to succeed. I would highly recommend. .

My instructor Stuart was absolutely amazing! He helped me get over any fears I had about driving, and he made the lessons enjoyable whilst still being extremely useful. After three years of learning and four attempts, I'm extremely grateful that I was finally able to pass my test with his help!

I wanted to leave some brilliant feedback about my instructor, Angus, and let you know how much of an asset to the company he really is. From the very first lesson, he pushed me to learn and improve, and he has instilled me with an enjoyment for driving. I found that he was a amazing instructor who adapted his teaching style to fit me perfectly, allowing me to pass as fast as I could, with only 1 minor fault in the test. Lessons with him were always so much fun and I always left them looking forward to the next one. I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends.

I really enjoyed my experience with Elite driving school. I would like to give a special thanks to my driving instructor Phil Harrison for guiding me through the challenging process of acquiring my driving licence. He was extremely professional and patient, pushing me to do my best in every lesson. I especially appreciate his effort to help my gain confidence that I needed to pass.

I passed my driving test in July 2018 with Elite Driving Instructor Mark Langton. He was an amazing driving instructor that helped me find my confidence and extend my knowledge. He taught me so much, was always calm and very easy to get along with. I will be forever grateful. Thank you!

It's such a great feeling to finally have my licence! I can't thank Stuart from Elite enough for his expert training, endless tips and driving knowledge that made my lessons an absolute blast. Not only will you learn how to become a safe and responsible driver, Stuart will also educate you on the science behind the way we drive and give you advice that will stay with you long after your lessons have finished. To top it off, you'll have a great laugh while you learn and feel completely at ease on the road. As Stuart has worked as a limousine driver, motorcycle instructor, speed awareness teacher, you're guaranteed to be the best driver you possibly can be. 10/10.

All round a brilliant company built on patient and knowledgeable instructors. I'd heard about elite through a couple of friends that had suggested them while at university. After I'd finished uni and had the time to learn to drive, I got in contact with elite and Hollie in the office put me in contact with Shaun. Shaun was a great instructor and even on days I wasn't driving my best he would always stay calm and offer suggestions to better my driving without being over bearing and knew exactly how to explain things to get them to stick. I didn't once dread the lessons- I'd dare say they gave me something on a friday after work to look forward to that wasn't just the weekend! Through no fault of anyone, three weeks before my test I had to change instructors and I can't fault the service at all at elite. Hollie was a saint and organised a lesson within 24hrs with Paul to get me closer to being completely test ready. From the few lessons that I had with Paul running up to my test, he gave me great advice and constructive criticism to take on board, prepped me for test, and got me up to speed with the differences between the car I had been driving with Shaun and his quickly and efficiently. I really appreciate him stepping in so last minute and dealing with my now apparent perfectionism and pre-test nerves in such a professional manner given the time frame! Thanks again to Elite for helping me through learning to drive and would definitely be recommending them to others!Moreexpand_more
Response : Hi Sian, thank you so much for this lovely review of the instructors and myself, and we are all so happy that you passed your test! We want to wish you the best for the future, and happy driving! All the best, Hollie.

Just like to say a big thank you to Stu, for all the help and skills in teaching me to drive. We had some good laughs and he made me feel at ease. I would recommend him to anyone that is wishing to learn to drive, as he got me through my test first time. Big thanks to him.
Response : Hi Kerry, we are really pleased to hear you enjoyed your driving lessons with Stu, he's a nice guy and a great instructor. We wish you the very best and a safe driving future.

Living in Hull I had seen the elite cars everywhere and reading the reviews online I decided to book. Best decision ever! My driving instructor was John and he was the best person I could have ever hoped for. I was pretty nervous but John really helped build my confidence and brought out the best in me and my driving. I passed my test first time in under 20 lessons with just 3 driving faults. It was such a pleasure to be taught by John, his teaching style is excellent. I looked forward to my lesson every week so will miss it! Thank You so much!
Response : Hi Shannon, thank you for your lovely review, I can't wait for John to see this - he will love it! We are so glad that you've built up confidence with your lessons, and that you looked forward to your lessons. You did so well with your driving test, and congratulations!

Elite was a great driving school choice for me as they got me passed me in 3 weeks, the instructor mark and elite team was very supportive and would help in anyway possible, the way mark taught me was very easy to understand and again helps in anyway. Would definitely reccomend elite to anyone who wants to get on the road.

I found Elite Driving School is very helpful. I have been trained by one of the best driving instructor "Stuart". He is a great man, always on time and never get mad. Stuart is well organized instructor as he plans well your driving lesson requirement by identifying your driving ability from the first lesson and from there he can suggest a proper plan to make you pass your test in a very reasonable time. I strongly advise you to get in touch with EDS as they are best place you can trust.
Response : Thank you for your wonderful review Saif, and congratulations once again for passing your driving test.

The learning experience was excellent - I passed sooner than I expected - Angus was flexible and helped me to relax. His guidance was most pertinent and helped in practice whilst taking the driving test - I would be happy to recommend.
Response : Hi Rhys we are pleased you enjoyed your driving lessons with Angus and Elite. Angus and the team at Elite would like to wish you a safe driving future, and best wishes for 2018.

You were recommended to me by an independent driving instructor as they had no available spaces for me at the time. My driving instructor was Paul, from day one he made me feel extremely at ease even after if I had a bad lesson I always came home smiling. He was very punctual and very flexible when it came to booking in my driving lessons. Would highly recommend him! Each lesson he thoroughly explained what I was going to do and where I would be going and if I wasn't confident in any area of the driving, it was never too much trouble for him to let me have some more practice. I was elated when I passed my driving test first time, it will greatly benefit me when applying for apprenticeships or jobs in the near future as I won't need to rely on public transport. I would most definitely recommend Elite and especially my driving instructor because as a company they kept in regular contact with me by email re my driving progress. Thank You to you all!
Response : Thanks for your comments Jessica, I'm really pleased you enjoyed your driving lessons with Paul. Congrats on your test pass, and I hope gaining your full licence helps you successfully find a job. Best wishes for 2018 from Paul and the team at Elite Driving School.

I heard about Elite through a friend who was also using them for driving lessons and he highly recommended them. My driving instructor was Angus, and he was absolutely fabulous, apart from being late a fair few times. His methods were firm and effective, and as a very anxious person my confidence and competence built up quickly. I was so pleased to pass my driving test and I would most definitely recommend Elite to everyone, and Angus too.
Response : Thanks Laura for your comments. A big well done and congratulations on passing your driving test, and pleased you really enjoyed lessons with Angus, he's a great guy, and who definitely should put time keeping at the top of his new years resolutions list. We wish you a safe driving future. Best wishes from Angus and the team at Elite. PS - have a Lovely Christmas and I hope Santa brings you a car!

I heard about Elite through a friend and my driving instructor was Angus. Angus is a brilliant instructor, he was very patient and friendly and pushed me when he knew I could do better, which resulted in me passing first time. Elite as a whole were very supportive with the emails I received and offered lots of help with my theory test. I would highly reccomend Elite Driving School and Angus.
Response : Hi Amy, I'm pleased to hear that you've passed you test and that you enjoyed taking lessons with Angus. Thank you for choosing Elite and have a happy safe driving future. From Kev and the team at Elite Driving school.

I first heard about Elite Driving School when I would see their cars around with their logo on the side. Then when looking for driving instructors I found that Elite were one of the best in my area and then rang them up to enquire about lessons. Although there wasn't any lessons available at the time, within a week they got back in touch with me and I had been given a lesson for Tuesday mornings. My instructor was Steve Casey and from the start he made me feel comfortable and confident at driving. Whenever I would make an error or forgot something, he would never get angry or lose his temper with me but would just bring it to my attention that I had made a mistake. Although I had some basic driving experience on private land, his teaching skills aloud me to quickly get to grips with driving on public roads and the hazards to look out for. His method of teaching was great, he would go through everything in great detail before I would try it for the first time (such as emergency stop or the 4 manoeuvres) and if I didn't understand a piece of information then he would make sure he went through it again in more detail until I would understand it. After finishing my driving test and finding out that I had passed first time, I was so happy and relieved as I had been nervous for the last few weeks building up to it. I have always wanted to be able to drive and passing my test now allows me to do exactly that. It will also help me next year as I would like to do a higher apprenticeship after I finish 6th form and now being able to drive allows me to widen my options as I don't have to rely on bus routes or getting a lift. I would highly recommend Elite Driving School because they make sure that they help you as much as possible if you have any worries or questions. I would like to thank Elite for their service and quality as they are brilliant at helping me out.Moreexpand_more
Response : Hi Thomas, thanks for the lovely comments, and I'm pleased that we were able to help you acheive your dream of passing the driving test. I would like to wish you the best for the future, and I wish you success with your career. From Kev and the team at Elite Driving School.
