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.

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

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!

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
Great Yarmouth
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!
Response : Thank you Beatriz for taking the time to leave Mitch Naim 5 stars. He was so pleased for you and your sister. Keep driving safe.

Pascale Norman
Norwich
I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Tim! From the very first lesson, they made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Their calm and patient approach, clear explanations, and consistent encouragement really helped me improve each week. They always took the time to explain not just how to drive, but why certain habits and techniques are important, which made a big difference in how I understood the road. Thanks to their guidance, I passed my test feeling well-prepared and ready to drive safely and independently. I would highly recommend Tim! To anyone looking for a supportive, professional, and skilled driving instructor.
Response : Thanks Pascale! We'll make sure Tim sees this awesome review. Congratulations on passing your test!
Tyler Fw

My experience with How-2-Drive and working with the amazing instructor Paul Branford has been nothing short of seamless from start to finish. As a mature student, I was a little nervous about driving but wanting to tick it off. Immediately, Paul put me at ease with a perfect balance between clear instructions, helping to build confidence on the road, whilst teaching me in a way that just made sense, compared to previous driving instructors. I got the sense that he tailors his lessons to each student’s needs in a patient and reassuring way, and thanks to his guidance, I learnt how to drive with confidence extremely quickly. Not only is Paul a fantastically competent instructor, but also a genuinely caring, kind, and funny man. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our conversations, talking about a huge breadth of interesting subjects, and honestly, I will miss chatting to him. I’ve recommended him to my nieces, who I’m sure will pass in record time. I couldn’t recommend him any higher – 5 stars.
Response : Well done Tyler on the super pass after taking the intensive course with Paul Branford. They are tough courses to work through, but you did so brilliantly. Thanks for taking the time to leave 5 stars.
Lisa Hutchinson

Amazing instructor, quite a journey we’ve been on but I couldn’t of asked for a more calmer and more supportive person to teach me to drive, thankyou Kevin!
Response : Well done Lisa on the amazing ZERO fault pass - such an achievement. We are so happy for you. Thank you for leaving kevin Bowkett 5 stars. Enjoy the freedom.

Stevie Crawford-Brown was my instructor and he is really good. He is very patient and very calm with his students especially with those who do not have any driving experience like me. I do not even know the road design as I am not originally from the UK. With that being said, will also adjust on student’s ability to drive. (We are not always in nursery to be babied). I passed my test because of his style of teaching. He is very positive with his students and he does look after you very well.
Response : Well done on the the super one fault pass - such a great result. Thank you too for leaving Stevie 5 stars. It means a lot.

I did my driving lessons with Mitch and we had about 12-14 hours. He was honestly just amazing! Friendly, reliable, very organised, flexible with hours and my learning style and never run out of patience or words of encouragement. Our lesson plans really helped me to keep track of my progress and to understand my own strengths/ weaknesses. I would recommend Mitch to anyone who wants to learn how to drive safely and efficiently. Can not thank Mitch enough .
Response : Thanks so much for this awesome review - Mitch will be so pleased! Congratulations on your pass and wishing you all the best with your future driving!
Maria Victoria Poz...
Lowestoft
Mitchell is an outstanding driving instructor - calm, patient, and incredibly supportive. As someone whose first language isn’t English and who was used to driving on the other side of the road, I was nervous about adapting to UK driving. But Mitchell made the whole process feel approachable and manageable. He explains things with a smile, super clearly and never makes you feel silly (even if he has to repeat something multiple times! ) He’s reliable, always on time, and adjusts his teaching style to your individual needs. His genuine care for his students show in every lesson. He creates a relaxed, encouraging environment that really builds your confidence behind the wheel. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly great instructor!
Response : Thank you so much Maria, Mitch will truly appreciate these kind words. What can I say, he is an outstanding instructor and all round nice guy. Well done on passing your test and thanks for choosing us. Dive safeHoward.

I can’t thank Mitch enough, he’s a great instructor, methods stuck well and I really enjoyed my intensive and time spent learning in the car. Couldn’t had asked for a better instructor for my intensive. I would highly recommend this driving school to any and all new drivers of all levels. It has something for everyone. Thank you How2Drive and a big thank you to Mitch.
Response : Well done Aaron on the super first time pass - the intensive courses aren't easy, but you nailed it. Thanks for leaving Mitch Naim 5 stars.
