My driving instructor was Farid. I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! He was patient, supportive, and consistently went the extra mile to help me correct my faults. His clear guidance and dedication throughout every lesson made a huge difference. I truly felt more confident with each session. Thanks to his help, I passed my test! Highly recommend.
Response : Congratulations.

Matt was a fantastic driving instructor. He is a very calm and constructive teacher who gave me the skills I needed to pass first time while also boosting my confidence. He is also an excellent instructor for neurodiverse students. I cannot thank him enough.
Response : Congratulations.

Matt was my driving instructor, and after having not a great experience with my previous instructor matt really helped rebuild my confidence. He remained patient and calm throughout all my lessons and I wouldn’t have been able to pass without his help. Would highly recommend! Thank you for everything!
Response : Amazing result well done.

Came to Mike B as my second instructor hoping to get myself to a test standard and was very pleased by his calm and supporting teaching style. He was very helpful finding positive ways to help even the smallest parts of driving. Always very patient and always knew when to interject to help me or when to let me solve and figure out how and why I made mistakes. Always had a belief that despite mistakes that I would make that I could turn them around to become a better driver. Always had a genuine interest in not only me passing but me building qualities to make me a safer driver in the long term. Thank you Mike B!
Response : Thank you for your kind review and congratulations.

I came to Mike B after having some really negative experiences with previous instructors, and I had very little confidence left in my driving. From day one, he was incredibly patient, calm, and encouraging. He took the time to understand where I was struggling and helped me rebuild not just my driving skills, but also my confidence behind the wheel. Mike’s way of teaching is clear and supportive, he never made me feel rushed or judged, and he always believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine dedication to helping his students succeed make all the difference. I’m so grateful I found him, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thank you, Mike B, for helping me turn things around!
Response : Congratulations.

One of the best driving schools around. Very honest and straightforward. Helps you to where you need to be within a short amount of time. Very accommodating and very friendly. Helped an unconfident learner pass first time! Teaching is immaculate.
Response : Congratulations.

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!
Response : Congratulations.

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.
Response : Congratulations.

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. .
Response : Congratulations.

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.
Response : Amazing result congratulations and thank you for your review.

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!
Response : Thank you so much for your review and a huge congratulations.

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!
Response : Congratulations and an amazing result.

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.
Response : Congratulations.

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!
