Hero Driving School

Hi Mark, a belated thank you for looking after our daughter and taking her through her test. She was thrilled to pass. Amazing how you took a scared young lady who gripped a steering wheel like no other and transformed her into a confident considerate driver. Thanks again!

I passed my driving test first time, and am very grateful to my instructor, Mark, who was greatly helpful in teaching me to drive from starting with no driving experience at all. His calm and friendly approach made it easy and stress free to learn, I couldn’t recommend more.

If you’re looking to learn to drive at your very best, look no further than Hero Driving with Mas. I have over 20 years of driving experience abroad and passed my automatic license in 2016 on the first try. However, I hadn’t driven in the UK since then as I didn’t need to drive in London. With a new job starting in 2025 that required a manual license, I contacted several instructors around Colchester. Mas from Hero Driving was the only one who responded. At the start, my driving confidence was extremely low. During my first and second lessons, I was even reaching out with my right hand to find the gear stick. Mas quickly corrected my habits and taught me how to drive properly and efficiently. I failed my first two driving tests with one minor and one major fault each time. However, just two weeks later on my third attempt, I passed with zero faults. Mas is an incredible instructor. Trust his process, follow his guidance, and you will have your license in no time. I cannot recommend Hero Driving enough to anyone serious about learning to drive the right way. .Moreexpand_more

I have passed my driving test first time thanks to Brad, honestly the best driving instructor out there. I am very glad to have had Brad as my instructor throughout the driving journey. Thank you so much.

I highly recommend taking intensive courses with Mac. I was very afraid and anxious due to the consequences of the accident in the past. Mas helped me believe in myself again. Sensitive guidance and practical instructions helped achieve the goal.

Michelle is very professional, patient and has really helped me build my confidence! I couldn’t be happier!

I would highly recommend this driving school! Mas My driving instructor helped me gain confidence and experience, I have nothing but praise, thank you Mas for helping me pass my test on Saturday truly grateful!

I had a great time learning to drive with Michelle. Thanks so much.

I found Hero to be incredibly helpful and especially my driving instructor Kabir was patient, calm and always offered constructive criticism. I felt rewarded every lesson and even on the rough days he was excellent. I wouldn’t have had anyone else to have teaching me and after taking my second test I finally passed. The overall price for lessons and what I received was exactly what I needed and was great value for money. Thank you so much to Kabir and Hero.

I passed my practical driving test on the first attempt, and I owe it all to my amazing instructor Pauline Jenkinson. She was incredibly friendly and made everything so easy to understand. She always explained what the examiner would be looking for during the test and helped me identify areas where I could improve, giving clear advice on how to do so. The whole experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thanks to her, I felt confident and well-prepared on test day!

When I pre-booked my 20 hour intensive driving course with Mas back in February, little did I know that by the beginning of May, when my course was due to start, my whole life would be turned upside down by a family crisis! I didn’t know what to do. I was suffering severe anxiety and depression, and I even had to cancel my first four hour lesson which was not a good start. Not to mention the fact that I was getting panic attacks, and was a complete nervous wreck. At the time I had no idea how I was going to pass my test in less than two weeks. Until I met Mas. He added several extra lessons in his own personal time, which is not a lot if you check his diary! I was given clear instructions on how to prepare for the lessons, and it wasn’t long before I realised I had chosen the right instructor, because Mas really knows what he is doing. It wasn’t easy, due to my mental state, but with his expert guidance I passed first time! I bought my first car yesterday, a beautiful BMW. Drove it for the first time all the way from North Norfolk to Colchester with my girlfriend and my 13 year old daughter in the car. It was a gorgeous hot day and the drive of my life…I drove flawlessly with confidence. Well I did stall twice ?.I could still hear Mas coaching me in the back of my mind. He is one in a million x.Moreexpand_more

Michelle was amazing from day 1, passed my test on first attempt with three minors…. Really pleased with her efforts….

Jay is a fantastic driving instructor. I would highly recommend him to any type of learner driver, as he is very patient, laid back, and easy going, and tailors the lessons to suit individual needs and requirements.

I want to start by saying Jay is the best driving instructor I’ve had as my third one. He was great from start to finish but would stood out was the little things he teaches you that others may not. Thanks to him I passed today with 0 driving faults. I cannot recommend this man enough. Trust me book your lessons with Jay at Hero Driving School.

My driving experience was amazing thanks to Mas, my instructor. He gave me constructive advice from the very start helping me to develop as a driver leading me to pass my driving test. Commentating whilst driving was a key part to helping me pass, my instructor helped instil this into my driving experience, again helping me pass.

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Michelle. Michelle's patience and encouraging teaching style made a huge difference in my learning process. She has a remarkable ability to remain calm and composed, which helped me to stay relaxed and focused during lessons. Michelle provided clear and constructive feedback, allowing me to steadily improve my driving skills. Her encouragement and positive attitude boosted my confidence behind the wheel, and she was always supportive, even when I made mistakes. Thanks to Michelle’s excellent instruction, I felt well-prepared and confident when it came time for my driving test. I’m thrilled to say that I passed on my first attempt! I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a skilled, patient, and supportive driving instructor.

Would highly recommend this driving school! I had a wonderful experience with Michelle and passed my test today with 1 minor fault. She was brilliant throughout all my lessons and I have learnt so much from her. So happy with my outcome and everything I have been taught. Lessons were amazing and it was so refreshing to have an instructor who was patient and helped me through my anxiety before my test. Nothing but praise.

Mas helped me pass my test in 24 hours of driving, I’ve had previous experience on the road with motorcycles and was struggling to make a change to my habits, Mas helped me with clear instructions every time and told me what I could do better or should’ve done for next time. Mas worked around my schedule if I couldn’t make any of the lessons due to college or work. He is really nice and welcoming from the first lesson so you never feel under loads of pressure. Mas has made the whole process of getting my license a lot more easy and I would recommend going with him.

Great driving school and a great experience. Passed my test first time after only 24 hours of lessons with Kabir. Very good instructor who was reassuring, helpful, informative, and patient. Would recommend Kabir to anyone starting learning to drive!

Amazing teaching from Mark, Couldn't ask for a better person to teach me.
