No L's of Bristol

Had Dean as my instructor and he absolutely smashed it in getting me to be comfortable driving and passing my test. Really recommend!

I had Ely as my instructor and he’s the most amazing individual from start to finish with great teaching and patience all throughout! And managed to pass under his guidance.

Really helped me prepare for my test it’s much appreciated.

Dean is a great instructor - very diligent, thorough and friendly and makes sure you understand what you're doing as well as preparing you for the specific roads around the test centre. Passed first time! Cheers!

Having a long time didnt practise of my driving and back to it , I thank you so much to my Instructor Ely for being patience and giving all his knowledge and confidence to me and making my learning a very smooth experience.

Dean was a great instructor, passed first time and went out of his way to make sure I was familiar was the test area in Chippenham. Also driving a Mercedes was a notch above everything else out there.

If you have an unpredictable working schedule and need flexibility, and you’re looking for an excellent, respectful, kind, patient and value-for-money driving lesson, I highly recommend giving Ely and ‘No Ls, Bristol’ a chance! Ely (Eleazar) is an exceptional driving instructor who helped me pass my driving test at Avonmouth Test Centre on my first attempt. He’s incredibly patient and supportive throughout our lessons, always encouraging me to take on new challenges like exploring unfamiliar driving test routes. He’s done so remarkably well. Ely is also excellent at giving clear and respectful instructions and feedback, even providing a formal report. I was surprised to receive one, which clearly demonstrates his dedication to his job and students. Furthermore, he’s very flexible with his driving schedule, accommodating my working shifts.

Having been close to taking a test when I was 20, I came back to learning to drive (manual) with Pete 5 years later. Within a year, Pete rebuilt my confidence and I was able to pass 1st time at the notoriously tricky test centre in Kingswood having known friends of mine to have failed there on multiple occasions. Not only is Pete a safe and calm instructor, he develops the same characteristics in your driving attitude by encouraging you in your strengths and supporting improvement in your weaker areas with a holistic approach that balances both the theoretical and practical aspects of learning to drive. I am glad I decided to delay learning to drive, since Pete has made me a far better driver for it and with Pete’s expertise the roads of Bristol are far safer. It has been a pleasure learning to drive with Pete … even though he’s a united fan ;).

Outstanding Instructor, like many have said. Highly qualified and has a lot of experience. He knows what he’s doing, and can tailor each lesson for exactly what you need to improve on. Very calm throughout my lessons. Nearly crashed his car icl but I’ve never seen him mad or get a bit emotional (on the surface at least). Never passed a single mock test but I passed with 5 minors (tbf I was extremely lucky) but Pete believed I could do it. 10/10 would recommend .

Pete was recommended to me by my Brother, who also passed under Pete's tuition. I passed with Pete 1st time with zero faults. My driving journey has been a very long road for me as I have had multiple set backs for various reasons. I had three previous instructor's prior to Pete with the AA and RED driving schools. I wasn't particularly impressed with my previous instructors as they weren't a great fit for me. I have a disability the impacts my processing speed, reaction times and ability to multi-task. I shared this with Pete and he took this onboard throught my entire journey with him, in fact I started out with a manual car and half way through a lesson Pete swapped me to Automatic. A wise decision and one I will always be grateful for. Pete is an outstanding instructor and knows what he is doing. He is patient, calm and very good at analyzing mistakes and why they occurred and therefore tailoring each lesson individually. Pete even went the extra mile with me and took me to find my first car, sitting in the shop with me as I went through the paperwork and even assisting with the test drive. Highly recommended, top man!Moreexpand_more

I’ve been learning to drive for two years, and after starting with another instructor who wasn’t the right fit, I moved over to Pete - and it was the best decision I could’ve made. From the moment I began lessons with him, everything changed for the better. Pete is incredibly calm, patient, and reassuring, which was essential for me, especially after failing my first test due to nerves and a lot of anxiety. He immediately made me feel more confident behind the wheel. He’s reliable, kind, and genuinely dedicated to helping his students succeed. What really sets Pete apart is how well he understands his craft. He knows his stuff better than most and has an amazing ability to pinpoint exactly where you’re struggling, explain things clearly, and tailor each lesson to what you personally need. His teaching style is thoughtful, effective, and always encouraging. Because of Pete’s guidance and support, I passed my driving test on my second attempt - and I couldn’t be happier. I honestly can’t recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is calm, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your progress, Pete is the one you want.Moreexpand_more

Dean was brilliant! Would definitely recommend whether your new to driving or just need some final lessons before you take your test :) BEST IN BRISTOL.

Pete has been an amazing instructor. I was a difficult student who needed a lot of extra help with my lessons after failing my first test with my previous instructor. When we first met I had a lot of bad habits and really couldn't drive at all but with a lot of hard work we got through it eventually and I passed my first test under Pete's guidance. He has been great company, and extremely flexible, even helping to accommodate for changes in my schedule when possible. Thanks Pete!

Having not driven for 6 years I needed some refresher lessons. Matthew was really patient and thorough, informative and great at building my confidence back up. I thoroughly recommend his lessons. Cheers.

Thanks for all the help! Worth every penny.

After struggling for quite some time with driving, I was lucky to get a space with Dean. My driving improved dramatically thanks to Dean's fantastic teaching. Extremely grateful for all his help. If anyone is in any doubt, go with Dean and you won't regret it.

I was someone who would scour reviews for ages, really overthinking about which instructor to go with. If that is you, then trust me - go with Dean. I had Dean as my instructor. I am so grateful for his patience, professionalism and teaching. He built my confidence at the correct pace for me. He explained things so thoroughly and answered every single silly question I had without judgement. He also kept me relaxed and made it enjoyable. He was the best. I passed first time with only two minors and just finished my Pass Plus with him today. Thank you again Dean.

I started with Pete after previously being with another instructor, and immediately he identified that I wasn’t being taught properly. Pete was so thorough went through all the basics from the very beginning and taught me skills I will never forget. He managed to identify any errors in my driving and helped me to work through them and practice until I got it right. Pete was always very kind and gentle with me as I suffer from quite severe anxiety but I always felt safe and supported. He is an excellent teacher!

I had 6 lessons to improve my driving ahead of the test and Pete immediately identified the reasons why I was struggling with my driving and we worked on those. I passed 1st time no minors! Thank you so much Pete!

One take pass with one minor fault only! I made that one minor fault because I misunderstood examiner’s instruction, parked in a wrong place. Auto car. Spent 50 hours with Pete. I couldn’t get a test date for Kingswood, so we spent a few times driving to Avonmouth to practice. Round trip time is 1 hour. If I could get Kingswood, probably I just needed 40 something hours. I tried 2 hours with MrCarrs (bad attitude, not professional and stall the time) before having lessons with Pete. Pete teaches with heart and passion. Surprisingly, he is qualified to be examiner and still charge with a low price!Thank you.Moreexpand_more
