Lendrums Driving School

I had a great experience with my instructor when learning to drive, I’m a very anxious person who gets nervous but he helped with making me feel like it was okay and that I’m learning and it’s all part of the process. I passed my test with no minors at all. Thank you to my instructor Caglar!

A huge thank you to my instructor Gary for his support. Although I have a licence I have been unable to drive due to extreme anxiety and panic attacks due to an incident 5 years ago. In just two lessons Gary patiently built my confidence, so much so I drove around Southampton city and even on the motorway! I can not provide high enough praise for Gary's calm, patient and humourous approach, making me feel at ease and giving me the time to face my fears. Thank you Gary (and Lendrums) for giving me the tools I needed to get back on the road.

My instructor Iain Lockheart is the reason I passed my driving test today. Not being the easiest of learners because of crippling anxiety and test nerves Iain helped me on my journey to become a safe, competent driver. He is calm, understanding and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to driving. He always gave me guidance and support and went through everything in a way that I could understand when needed. He truly only wants the best from his students and is dedicated to his role as an instructor. I highly recommend him and out of all the instructors I could have been given I'm so lucky it was Iain. He is very supportive and will give you good advice on all aspects of driving. I will be forever grateful if to Iain and for never giving up on me especially in the early days when the dream of one day passing my test felt like it would never be a reality has now come true. .

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Helen. From the very first lesson, she made me feel comfortable and supported - even when I was full of nerves and self-doubt. Her patience, calmness, and clear way of explaining things helped me build real confidence in myself and my driving. Helen didn’t just teach me how to pass my test - she taught me how to be a safe and responsible driver for life. Every lesson was structured but relaxed, and she always took the time to go over anything I was unsure about (no matter how many times I asked! ). Thanks to Helen, I passed with just one minor, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without her. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, encouraging, and genuinely cares about your progress - I couldn’t recommend Helen more.

I am more than pleased to have Bouchra (one of Lendrums many instructors) as my instructor. She has taught me a lot and given me advice that I can actually apply in my driving on a daily basis. These little nuggets of knowledge and tips are the ones that helped me pass my test. She is an excellent instructor, very pleasant, very friendly and funny, easy to get along with. She will not dwell on your mistakes but rather she will help you fix it until it clicks on you. She’s an EXCELLENT and very KNOWLEDGEABLE instructor. I have only good words for my experience with Lendrums driving school. To the learners out there who are looking for instructors and lessons, fair rates, and easy booking system, LENDRUMS is the way!

Was a pleasure learning to drive with Michaela. She was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to her guidance, I felt fully prepared on the day of my test and passed first time! I’m so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend Michaela to anyone learning to drive. Truly a brilliant instructor!

It was a pleasure learning to drive with Abde, I would recommend him to anyone learning to drive, his patience and kindness really helped me and I’m very glad to have passed first time, could not have done it without him of course. Thanks Abde for everything !

I happy because I just pass my drivers license good service .

Learning to drive in the UK after moving from Nigeria was a big transition for me - especially coming from driving on the right-hand side of the road and barely having to deal with roundabouts, let alone multi-lane ones! But Helen made this entire journey so much smoother and less overwhelming. She was incredibly patient and kind, always ready with practical tips that truly helped me understand not just how to drive, but how to drive confidently and safely in the UK. Her ability to break down complex situations into manageable steps was amazing - especially when it came to handling roundabouts, lane discipline, and those tricky test routes. What stood out most was how calm and supportive she was, even when I was full of nerves or doubting myself. There were days she wasn’t feeling her best, yet she still showed up for me with a smile and the same positive energy. That level of commitment and care meant so much. Thanks to Helen and Lendrum’s, I passed my driving test and feel ready to hit the road with confidence. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without her. If you're looking for an instructor who is professional, patient, and genuinely invested in your success, I 100% recommend Helen!.Moreexpand_more

I did automatic driving lessons with Michaela and she was an absolutely amazing instructor! Thanks to her calm and relaxed teaching style, I passed first time with zero faults - all within just a few months. She made learning to drive a really positive experience and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I have first time passed my test today with Helen Gibbs. She is very hard working, respectful, structured, clear and positive mind instructor. Her motive is that she genuinely wants you to be a good driver and teaches all the important skills, manoeuvres and roundabouts required to pass the test. I really recommend her to everyone, her patience level is outstanding and she never gets aggressive. I am glad that I found her, I was struggling with my learning with other instructors before starting with her. She's a 5-star instructor. I thank Lendrums for connecting me to her.

Just passed my test with Helen as my instructor and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! She really brings out the best in you – always encouraging, patient, and pushing you to be your best behind the wheel. Helen made sure I was more than ready for both the test and the road, often before I even realised it myself. Huge thanks to Helen and to Lendrums – truly a 5-star experience all around!

I highly recommend lendrums driving and highly recommend Abde as a driving instructor, his way of teaching and mannerisms were great and I always felt calm and welcomed when on my lessons which helped me pass my test!

My Instructor Dave, was amazing so friendly I felt extremely comfortable driving with him. He never made me feel down if I did anything wrong. He focused on the positive feedback rather then the negative. He was fantastic, couldn’t of passed without him.

Gary is amazing highly recommended! ? .

Just passed with Gary English as my instructor. Could not recommend him highly enough. He's an instructor that will bring out the best in you and will get you ready for the test and the road before you even know it. Massive thanks to Gary and to Lendrums. 5 star service all around.

My instructor was Helen from the Southampton area. Really comfortable to be around. She is nice and teaches really well hence why I passed. She helped me get over the line and believe she can for you too.

I had a really good experience with Iain Lockhart teaching me I passed my test first time, every lesson I got good feedback and and helpful ways to improve. Highly recommend.

Review for Mike Burden. Mike was a brilliant driving instructor - really patient and clear with his teaching. He made learning to drive feel much less stressful, and I always felt supported during lessons. I passed first time thanks to his help! Highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

My experience with Lendrums driving school was amazing. My instructor Iain Lockhart is calm, patient, and explains everything clearly. He gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test and feel safe on the road. Highly recommend to anyone learning to drive!
