I just gotta shout out my driving instructor Jason - absolute legend! I’m 40, and thanks to them, I’m cruising the roads with confidence. They’ve got that perfect balance of good vibes and solid teaching. If you wanna pass and feel fresh doing it, they’re the one! Https://independentdrivingbournemouth. Com/.

I had the pleasure of having Christine (Chrissy) as my instructor and she was a great help from the first minute, offered to visit beforehand (free of charge) to introduce each other and make sure I was comfortable from the outset. Chrissy was so natural to talk too and put me at ease from the outset, as-well as installing the most confidence in me to be able to pass my test first time with just 20 hours of learning.
I’ve just passed my driving test and couldn’t be happier with the support I got from Matt, he was patient, clear, and genuinely committed to helping me improve every step of the way, making lessons calm, confidence boosting, and enjoyable. I’d highly recommend him and the team at the company to anyone looking for a great driving instructor.

I started my driving journey previously with 2 different instructors from different companies, none of which's teaching methods were beneficial. I then got the privilege to be paired up with Jason Clarke who I have just passed my test with 1 minor. From the get go, Jason made me feel cool, calm and collected on the road. That I am in full control and that there is nothing to be scared of. Jason and I worked together for just under 2 years of which we covered all weathers, manoeuvres, driving experiences and emergency stops. Jason's teaching methods were absolutely amazing, he took the time to learn about me and what worked well for me to get me to my end result. Alongside the brilliant teaching methods, Jason was an all round lovely man, he never made me feel worried or uncomfortable even in the hardest of times, you could really tell he wanted to help me not only pass my test but be as safe as possible when driving. Through our time together, Jason became a friend to me, we had lots of laughs which made me feel 0 pressure when learning to drive. All in all if you need an instructor with patience, amazing teaching methods, a kind heart and a welcoming smile, choose Independent driving, but most of all, choose Jason Clarke. Thank you so much Jason :).Moreexpand_more

I have just passed my test, after learning with Matt from Independent Driving School! All in all, it has been an enjoyable experience, with all the highs and lows handled well and with an experienced hand. Matt is a thoughtful and experienced driving instructor, who from the start got to know me and my learning style well, accommodating how I best learnt. Matt was consistently engaged in my learning, and I felt safe to relax and learn with his help. Throughout the process, Matt has been a great encouragement to my learning, and I would highly recommend him if you’re looking for an instructor.

I just want to say a big thank you to my instructor Adam from Independent Driving school for helping me pass my test first time. Adam is really chill and supportive, and explained everything clearly which really helped build my confidence. I would definitely recommend Adam and his company to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thank you so much!
I had an amazing experience with Independent Driving School from start to finish. The whole process was quick, smooth, and professional, making everything easy to arrange. My instructor, Adam, was calm, patient, and very reliable throughout my lessons. His teaching methods were excellent, as he explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Learning to drive was a much better experience than I expected because I always felt supported and comfortable. The lessons were great value for money, and I made really good progress. I would highly recommend Independent Driving School to anyone looking to learn to drive.

Thank you so much Adam for helping me pass! He really is the best at what he does. Adam motivated me every lesson and helped me to get the best possible outcome, and I passed first time! I would recommend him to anyone who is aiming to pass their test first time too. Thank you again for your support and motivation.

His clear explanations and calm approach helped me improve quickly and feel well prepared for my test. I’d highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive instructor. -Megan http://independentdrivingbournemouth. Com/.

Thanks so much to Chrissy for helping me pass my driving test! My confidence on the roads grew so much and I had the best experience. Her teaching style suited me really well, I felt at ease at all times and I enjoyed all our chats. As a disabled driver, it can be really hard to find instructors, but she had the perfect adaptions for me and could answer any question I had! I couldn't have had a better experience anywhere else.

A massive thank you to Adam D for teaching me to drive! Learning to drive felt like a huge challenge until I started lessons with Adam at Independent Driving School. I was recommended Independent Driving School by a friend and when I enquired about lessons I realised that they were competitively priced with option of block booking lessons and the flexibility of different times/days worked really well with my timetable. Adam is incredibly patient and understanding, and explains everything in a way that just made sense. He has a real talent for making you feel calm, confident and positive about your progress, I genuinely looked forward to every lesson. I’m so happy to say that Adam got me through my driving test successfully! I couldn't have done it without his support - thank you Adam for making the whole experience so positive and taking the stress out of the whole process. I'm missing our lessons already but loving the freedom!
A big thank you to Jason for getting me to pass my driving test, he was always so patient with me and always made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. He always reassured me when I needed it and was very encouraging. He always took time and was calm at all times! Thank you so much!

A huge thank you to Jason for helping me pass my driving test today he is definitely the person I needed he has always been very reassuring and patient with me on all are lessons and always made me feel relaxed and even if I have a bad lesson he took the time to show me my mistake and we worked over and over it sometimes to much but in the end you thank him for it because it all pays off. Definitely I will miss are lessons but thank so much Jason for your time and patience with me. ? .

I had my automatic driving lessons with Hamish at independent driving school and couldn’t recommend him enough! I was a very nervous driver and he was so patient and understanding with me, and put me at ease very quickly. I have now passed my test and feel confident with my driving, thank you Hamish! :).

Having just passed my driving test I wanted to write this review to thank Adam (at Independent Driving School) for all of his time, patience and excellent tuition. Adam took me from starting out as feeling very anxious about driving to where I am now having passed on my first attempt. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for an instructor within the local area.

I had lessons with Jason and he was amazing. From the very first lesson he was patient, kind and encouraging - this made learning to drive a great experience for me. He explained everything clearly and was calm and helpful when I needed assistance. Thanks to him, I have now passed my driving test and I feel very confident and prepared!
