Siddhant Khanna
Great Yarmouth
Had daily lessons with Rowland Sells and they were great. Each lesson was productive and by the end I achieved all the skills needed to pass. He arrived at my house on time every time and we debriefed well at the end of every lesson.
Response : Thank you for taking the time to leave Rowland Sells 5 stars - it means a lot.
Jodie Cross
Great Yarmouth
I always thought I’d never be a driver and learning never really crossed my mind until this year. Instructor Wayne Bennett was so patient and made everything simple to follow that I soon changed my mind and realised driving is for me. Thank you so much for all of your time and patience Wayne. 10/10 instructor and 10/10 experience ? .
Response : Thanks so much for the awesome review Jodie! And massive congratulations on your super pass under what sounded like quite tricky conditions. Wishing you all the best!

Terrible service. I had 3 instructors, each of which cancelled lessons moments before starting, consistently turned up late, dropped me home early and the last two regularly had me drive somewhere to wait in a car park to change cars with another instructor, all on time I was paying £80 an hour for. Even arrived late on the day of my test, where I found out many parts of the test had never been touched upon in lessons. When I complained to one instructor they passed me off to someone else rather than acknowledging the issues raised. I got a similar response when I emailed the director, they simply didn't care. Now having swapped to another driving school the quality is incomparable, I wish I had left sooner. There's every chance you'll get a better instructor than the ones I dealt with but why roll the dice when you can go with another company who might look after you if you don't get what you paid for. Avoid How 2 Drive.
Response : Sorry you feel you had a bad service.

Response : Thanks Issy for leaving Steve Nichols 5 stars - and well done on the super first time pass. Enjoy being out on the roads.

My instructor Chris was very helpful in helping me pass my test. He was fantastic at fitting lessons around college schedules, he was very kind and patient whilst I was learning. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Response : Thank you Tacey, we really appreciate you leaving Chris a 5 star review. We'll make sure to pass this on to him. Wishing you all the best with your future driving and congratulations on your result.

Adam was amazing. He always pointed out where I was needing to improve on things. He is such a great guy would happily recommend him to anyone who needed lessons.

Owen Patrick Ellis...
Horsford
My instructor was great for me personally because we progressed through the driving skills step by step at a time and making sure to go back and put more practice in the skills I was struggling with. I also really liked the summary messages that my instructor wrote after a lesson, that was really helpful.
Response : Congratulations on your pass Owen and thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We hope you enjoy your freedom on the roads!

My instructor was very helpful for me while learning. He was patient when I kept making silly mistakes and made it clear how I could improve.
Response : Well done Max on the super pass first time pass after the intensive course with Mitch. Sorry we couldn't make it 5 stars for you.
Lilia Jermy
Great Yarmouth
I had Frazer as my driving instructor. Couldn’t recommend him enough, really patient and friendly and made me feel at ease and made driving enjoyable. Passed first time due to him.
Response : Well done on the super first time pass Lilia - Fraser Beddow was so happy for you . Thanks for leaving him 5 stars.
Enoch Uthayarajan
Norwich
I passed first time, with zero faults, due to the hard work me and my instructor Mark Horne put in. He was recommended to me by my dad and friends of ours, and rightly so. He is a very personable individual, very kind, creates a great pupil-centric atmosphere when he instructs and has an extreme eye for detail. He makes learning interesting, links in parts of the theory, has really helpful and simple methods to help you remember manoeuvres and is not harsh or rude or intimidating upon making a mistake early on. He pulls knowledge out of you rather than just info-dumping and expecting you to pick it up. His care for a proper standard of driving made it easy for me to do the test. I thoroughly enjoyed every single lesson and he was very good at pushing me beyond my limits (especially early on) so that we covered as much as we could have done each lesson. Mark gives you absolute value for money if you are willing to put the effort in yourself. He is very understanding and flexible. He has (on multiple occasions) gone out of his way to move things around, and help me out with lessons despite a busy summer for myself playing sport. Mark made himself really available leading up to my test date was so I could further improve my driving and confidence - hence come test date, I was mighty confident. I’m absolutely chuffed with the outcome. Thank you so much Mark. .Moreexpand_more
Response : Well done Enoch on the amazing ZERO fault pass - such a great achievement. Thank you also for taking the tiime to leave Mark Horne such a great review. Happy driving.

Amazing to learn with, so considerate and understandable and would highly recommend!
Response : HI Isabel - thanks for the review, we really appreciate it. All the best!
Emily Minney
Norwich
Kevin ‘kev’ was absolutely incredible. He was the most understanding, patient, and helpful man. I was a very nervous driver and struggled quite a bit but kev was genuinely so kind towards me. He suggested extremely helpful solutions and I overcame my hesitation. He explained everything very clearly and as someone who knew nothing about cars this was so needed. He was very on the ball about my mistakes but expressed feedback in a way I understood. If there was something specific I wanted to focus each lesson kev would always make sure that we did what I requested and practiced it until I felt confident. We’ve had brilliant discussions and hilarious conversations while driving which made me feel extremely comfortable and helped me relax. I would recommend kev to anyone who wants to learn how to drive, this man is a genuinely amazing human being.Moreexpand_more
Response : Than you Emily for leaving Kev Bowkett such a lovely review. So pleased you enjoyed the lessons - enjoy being out on the roads.

Sarah Mortimer
Shipdham
I recently completed an intensive course with Ivan, who got me through my test first time with 0 faults! I was nervous going into it but Ivan made me feel very comfortable and at ease throughout the whole course and before my test. He has lots of patience and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. He takes the time to get to know you too. I enjoyed our conversations every day, and felt like I was driving around with a friend! I will be highly recommending him to anyone I know who’s looking for a driving instructor!
Response : Well done Sarah on the AMAZING zero fault pass- a great achievement. Thank you too for leaving Ivanoy Brito a great review.

Beatriz Silva

Passed my test last week with driving instructor Mitch, couldn’t have asked for anyone better since my very first lesson. He was always so patient and calm, making me comfortable to ask questions and would go over things several times so I could understand them a bit better. Thank you Mitch!
