Pavi Theva
Norwich
I’m delighted to say I passed my automatic driving test today, and I couldn’t have done it without my instructor, Hej Jones, from How-2-Drive. Hej was extremely patient, supportive, and professional throughout all my lessons. He explained everything clearly and helped me build confidence driving an automatic car, making each lesson feel calm and well structured. He always focused on my weak areas and made sure I felt fully prepared for the test. His calm and encouraging approach really helped ease my nerves, especially on test day. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I felt confident and ready. I would highly recommend Hej Jones and How-2-Drive to anyone looking to learn automatic driving with a friendly and knowledgeable instructor. Thank you so much for all the support! .
Response : Well done Pavi on the fantadtic first time pass with Hej - thank you too for taking the time to leave him a great review.

Ivanoy for instiling in me confidence and helping me get ready for the test. Big thanks How2 Drive for the journey. Best driving school.
Response : An amazing ZERO fault pass Benard - well done. So pleased that Ivanoy Brito and Stevie Brown helped you to achieve such a fantastic pass.

I started how2drive in June, and I had Steve as my instructor. Every lesson I had made me feel more confident on the road and Steve helped me every step of the way. I really couldn’t have done it without him.
Response : Well done on the super pass - Steve Nichols said it was well deserved Thanks for the review.
Charlotte Sprot
Norwich
Couldn't thank Steve, and How2Drive, enough for helping me to achieve my first time pass. Steve is a friendly and supportive instructor who always made me feel safe on the roads. My abilities advanced rapidly under his instruction and guidance. Wouldn't have achieved this without him.
Response : Hi Charlotte, thanks so much for the awesome review, we'll pass it on to Steve for you. Congratulations on your great result!

Gareth at How2Drive is absolutely the perfect instructor. He is knowledgeable, unshakeable, patient, encouraging, and very understanding. I came out of every mistake I made feeling confidently adjusted and prepared to do better next time, and he gives a much more rounded education in driving than others I've had. I didn't just feel ready to take my test, but ready for just about anything the road will throw at me after too. I really can't recommend him, and How2Drive as a whole, enough. Especially, if like me, you have disabilities that affect your abilities, confidence and attention. He will build you up in manageable chunks, find ways to tailor what he teaches you to be more memorable and manageable for you, and have you confident and competent in next to no time. As much as I'm ecstatic to have passed (first time, with only 2 minors! ), I'm slightly sad that I won't be having lessons with him anymore.Moreexpand_more
Response : Well done Kevin on the super pass - Gareth Bowkett was so happy for you. Enjoy the freedom on the roads.

I have passed my test with Nick Boxley. I am incredibly grateful to have had Nick as my driving instructor. His support,guidance, and encouragement were instrumental in helping me pass my driving test. He has always believed that I can do it. I wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for Nick. I would highly recommend Nick to all my friends in Norwich. And I would like to thank How to Drive Driving School for giving me a miraculous instructor.
Response : Thank you Jusna for such a great review for Nick Boxley - we are so pleased for your well deserved pass. Keep driving safe.

Andrew Blaxter is a brilliant instructor, he is always patient and really friendly. Andrew taught me from scratch and has allowed me to be confident in my driving. Andrew does not just teach you to be test ready he teaches you to drive safely for life! I would highly recommend Andrew as an instructor for anyone who is looking to start driving due to his genuine interest and passion in teaching people to drive and helping them develop skills along the way. I appreciate all the support you have provided along my journey of becoming a driver. Thank you Andrew!
Response : Thanks you Alex for taking the time to leave Andrew Blaxter a review - sorry we couldn't make it 5 stars for you. Well done on the pass.

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!
Oliver Mukkerrins
Norwich
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.
Issy Williams

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

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.
Response : Thanks Daniel - congratulations on your pass!
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 Mitch was very good and helpful this benefited me learning how to drive and pass my test first time I would recommend him as he is good at fitting driving lessons around your schedule and is very helpful.
