Rosie Lewington
Oxford
Kevin has been a very supportive instructor and I’ve enjoyed learning to drive with him. Would recommend.
Lucy G
Abingdon
A fantastic instructor. For his experience and manner, the price is very fair. I had tried learning to drive before, but hadn't felt fully comfortable with my previous instructor. I felt like I made much more progress and was safer with Kevin. I was ultimately able to pass my test first time before Christmas with just one minor driving fault. I had at least 30 hours with Freeway Driving School. I'd strongly recommend him to anyone with previous driving experience like myself, but I am also sure he'd be a great instructor for new drivers as well. To cover the essentials: he didn't shout, he has a calm manner and explains situations well. In addition to this, he was very communicative and always punctual. He knows the test routes around Oxford very well and can flag common issues past students have encountered. The only thing I'd add is to keep an eye on your junk mail if you email him, as my spam filter had filtered out his initial emails!Moreexpand_more
Response : Thank you Lucy for a very kind review. You did very well passing first time with just one minor. I am sure you will keep it safe!
Susie Richards
Abingdon
I can’t recommend Kevin highly enough. Kevin’s calm and quiet approach meant that our daughter steadily gained confidence and then achieved a pass at her first attempt. Very pleased that we chose him and will be asking him again when our other daughter is old enough.
Response : Thanks for the review. Helen did well with a first time pass with just 3 faults!
Jamie Devitt

Kevin was a very good driving instructor, and was very helpful with all aspects of my driving and helped me improve every step of the way and was amazing and very patient at all times and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a driving instructor to help them pass and improve their all round driving skills.
Response : Thanks for the review Jamie, very kind of you. A good solid pass with just 2 faults!
Reg Rosser

An excellent driving instructor, picks up on every detail so that you are test ready.

Kevin is a great driving instructor. I am 31 years old, and he has more years of driving instructor experience than my age! I am from India, and I had zero UK road sense. He taught me very well, answered my questions patiently, and increased my confidence. He also managed to find me an early test after I was ready. I can't recommend him enough.
Response : Well done on your first time pass this afternoon in Oxford!
Jamie Cording

Kevin was a great instructor--patient and clear, helping me build my skills quickly. Would recommend!
Response : Well done with your first time pass this am in Oxford!
Chris Buckle
I cannot recommend Freeway Driving School enough, particularly if you're anxious about driving. I changed to Freeway Driving School after lessons with another instructor, at which point I had become very anxious whilst driving. Straight away, Kevin was extremely calm, explained things very clearly and was very patient, particularly as I struggled early on. In the end, I passed first time with 3 minors! It would not have been possible without Kevin's help.
Response : Well done on your first time pass in Oxford this morning! We got there and a pass with just 3 faults is a really good drive.
Ellie Hinnells
Oxford
Kevin really helped me gain more confidence in driving, helping me pass my test first try. He was always on time with lessons, and was on the whole very available to what suited my schedule. I’d recommend lessons with him to anyone in the area.
Response : Well done Ellie on your first time pass at Oxford dtc with ZERO faults!
Hilda C
Abingdon
Kevin has taught my daughter over the last few months and he has done a fantastic job. My daughter was able to pass her practical test on the first try! Kevin was a very reliable and patient instructor and always professional. He was always on time and never missed any lessons. I highly recommend taking lessons with him.
Response : Thanks for the kind review. It was a pleasure teaching Raquel to drive. A good first time pass with just 5 faults!
Shaun Foss
Oxford
I am an experienced US driver that moved to the UK. Driving here is very different. Kevin was a great instructor and was able to help me adapt my driving style and knowledge to UK driving. He was easy to schedule time with and was always willing to focus on the items I felt most uncomfortable with. I am now a significantly more confident and comfortable driver here in the UK. I was able to pass my practical test on the first try and owe that to Kevin and his lessons. I strongly recommend Kevin to anyone who needs driving lessons.
Response : Thanks for the review Shaun. Yes, driving in the uk is a bit different to the states! But you did well, first time pass with just 3 faults. Keep it safe.

I recently had the pleasure of learning to drive with Kevin. His patience, professionalism, and clear communication made every lesson enjoyable and productive. I can't thank him enough for the dedication and support throughout the learning process. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and patient driving instructor!
Response : Thanks for the very kind review Thomas, much appreciated. Enjoy driving your fiesta and keep it safe!

Kevin was a fantastic driving instructor. He helped me prepare to successfully pass my test, and always made sure I know where I can work to improve on my driving as I get more experience in the future. I have had two other instructors in the past when I made previous attempts to learn to drive, and Kevin has been my favourite of them all, helping me to feel confident in my ability to drive safely and positively. I have always found driving lessons stressful, and Kevin was fantastic at helping me to remain calm and focused. I would absolutely recommend learning with Freeway Driving School.
Response : Well done on your test pass today in Oxford with just 1 driving fault!
