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.
Response : Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and glad you were happy. Congratulations on your test pass.

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.
Response : Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review. Really appreciated.

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!
Response : Thank you so much for your kind words. But you did all the hard work. Well deserved pass.

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
Response : Thank you for your kind words. I agree that I teach from my heart and am passionate about what I do. The most important thing for me is that I produce a safe confident driver which you certainly are. You also did all the research and study I asked of you so passing the test was never really in doubt. You were an absolute pleasure to teach. Drive safely.

I had my lessons with Pete and what can I say except he’s the best instructor I’ve had. Super analytical and understanding, you pay for what you get and in this case it was the best lessons I could have got. I passed first time with 5 minors.
Response : Thank you so much for your kind words… I am only as good as my student so thank you so much for all the effort you put in. .

Massive thank you to Pete the most amazing patient and understanding driving instructor you will find, I had a 1st time pass I went from 0 experience on the road to a pass in 8months I’m so happy I can’t thank you enough for all your support kind words advice and guidance not just in driving but in life also. Pete has the most amazing ability's to read and understand how you feel and works with that to help you understand what you need to do to do feel safe and confident in your drive he has many different words of advice and different ways of showing you how to understand on his little tablet. Over my time driving Pete has become like a more of friend than an instructor I’m definitely going to miss my lessons with him I couldn’t recommend him enough he’s just the best what a amazing guy thank you again Pete.
Response : Thank you Shani… was a absolute pleasure and hopefully change your life for the better.

Had about 44 hours of lessons with Pete and was able to pass my test first time with 5 minors. I had a bad instructor before but Pete really worked with me, took the time to understand my learning style and retrain me so I could feel confident in myself. If you're an anxious driver he'll put you at ease. The tips he gave are so useful I continue to use them when I drive. Admittedly he said I wasn't quite ready for the test yet so I had to use my own car, however he talked me through the test the day before, gave me tips on the layout of the test centre itself so I didn't make a silly mistake in the car park, tricks that would help me personally with my anxiety etc. He even messaged me after the test to ask how I got on. He's an absolute gem of an instructor, couldn't recommend him any more highly!
Response : Thank you for your kind words but you did all the work… I am only as good as my student so thank you very much. As a responsible driving instructor it’s my duty to advise the client if they are test ready within a timeframe so at least they do not lose their practical test fee. On the odd occasion we can get it wrong but at the time I had to make the decision you were not quite ready but close. You continued to take more lessons leading up to the test (4 hours ) where you improved further. I am so happy you passed the test and left behind all the negative comments from your previous instructor who did nothing for your confidence nor put into place the remedial actions to progress you. I am 100% sure you will be a safe driver and simply keep improving with experience. It was a pleasure teaching you, always polite and committed to the task. Also thank you for the referrals, I will attempt to accommodate them on my return from a mini break. Take care Pete.Moreexpand_more

Passed first time with Dean! Brilliant driving instructor and a lovely guy. Adapted lessons to my style of learning, was flexible with lesson times, and made learning to drive really fun. Have already recommended him to numerous friends. Thanks so much Dean :).
Response : Thank you for your review. Drive safely.

We contacted No Ls Driving School because they are local to us and were well-rated already… and we are very pleased we did! Dean, the instructor, returned our messages immediately and although highly booked was prepared to book us in for 3 months ahead. When our daughter turned 17, she began lessons and to say she was super-nervous of driving would be an understatement! Testament to Dean’s calm and encouraging approach is the fact that she quickly gained enough confidence with driving to decide she would keep learning beyond our initial 10-week booking (block-booking proved to be a good money-saving method, by the way). In practical terms, he was able to fit in lessons very early in the day and even at the weekend when there were no other spaces, and always messaged our daughter if he needed to change the plan. When he said our daughter was ready for the test, he was right… she is delighted to have passed first time with only one minor – a superb boost in confidence and we can only say a BIG thank you to Dean for his quietly supportive teaching approach to learning to drive. We definitely highly recommend No Ls and Dean!
Response : Thank you for your review.

Pete was my third driving instructor, as I moved addresses during lessons with the previous two. I am therefore in a unique position to compare Pete's teaching with other instructors. I can honestly say that Pete was the most thorough, knowledgeable and patient of the lot. Not only is he a fantastic teacher, but he's also a lovely person (despite his choice of football team). Pete has seen it all, and knows exactly what to say and how to react to literally every circumstance you may come across on the road. He was able to spot the smallest of details within my driving that were leading me into bigger issues. Highlighting these to me and challenging me in a supportive and constructive way to iron these out of my driving. Not only this, but he had unique advice and approaches to driving that made so much more sense to me than my previous instructors. His teaching is distinctive. He encompassed teaching methods that ranged from iPad tools/diagrams, Youtube videos and descriptive writing to offer an enhanced learning journey - beyond the actual driving. Engaging with his teaching practises has led me to pass my practical test today with only 1 minor!I believe it was the fact he takes his time to explain in depth, and with a clarity that only comes from someone as professional as him - areas of improvement that I was able to pass the test with such distinction. Please consider using Pete as your driving instructor. I can guarantee that you won't regret your choice, time with Pete is worth every penny.Moreexpand_more
Response : Thank you for your kind words. Great drive today with senior examiner. Go get the focus and drive safely.

Amazing instructor, incredibly thorough and also patient. He taught me from when I was just starting all the way to my test and turned me into a competent driver in the process. I highly recommend using this instructor.
Response : Thank you for your review.

I started learning with Pete after having had lessons with several other instructors. I was still a very nervous an under-confident driver, but under Pete's guidance I progressed hugely and recently passed my test. I found Pete to be a reliable, intuitive and patient instructor. He takes time to identify a problem and to then come up with a solution, whether it be nerves, bad habits or problems with vision, he managed to address everything successfully. He always arrives in good time, cancels only if its unavoidable and he has a wealth of online resources for his clients. He is also known to provide advice on plumbing, marriage, upholstery and local history. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
Response : Thank you for your kind words… not too sure about marriage advise tbh.

Couldn't recommend Pete more highly. He treats you as an individual, figures out what works for you and what is standing in your way, and tailors his approach to suit you personally - this is the sign of an excellent teacher in my view! He helped me get over a lot of psychological issues, as well as the mechanical, and he prepared me not just for test, but to be a safe and confident driver, with my two kids in the back of the car. He's also just a great guy, brilliant for a chat, and is very kind, patient and encouraging. I will genuinely miss our lessons! Thanks again Pete.
Response : Many thanks for your kind words you were a pleasure to teach and so happy you achieved your goal at the first attempt but this was t in doubt with you determination. Well done Claire.

I had Dean as my instructor. He was an incredibly good teacher and every single lesson was enjoyable. He was great to talk to and have a joke with. I'm happy to say that I passed today, first time, with 4 minors. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn and perfect their driving.
Response : Thank you for your review and gave a safe driving career and well done to Dean.

Just passed my test, first time trying with 3 minors! Could not be happier with the service and teaching I have received, Pete has helped me become a confident, careful, safe driver. He is meticulous and helps you identify quickly what needs to be addressed with your driving ensuring that you are test ready but also safe for your life of driving! Thanks again Pete! ? .
Response : Thank you for your kind words Kat. Drive safely and we’ll done.

You won't find someone more knowledgeable or meticulous than Pete. If he can get me to pass my test, believe me, he can definitely do it for you. Great bloke, too!
Response : Thank you James for your kind words. The pass was never in doubt it was just a case of if you could achieve a clean sheet and you were all so close. Congratulations and drive safely.

A big shout out and thank you to Matthew for being such a great teacher. Patience and a keen eye for the little things in my driving that I would never have thought about as well as always putting safety first lead me to become a driver that passed my test on my first try. Very thankful for his guidance and his informative but simple breakdowns and explanations of things about the road that I found confusing. Can't recommend him enough.
Response : Thank you for your review.

I started lessons with Pete when my previous instructor failed to provide quality lessons. I was quite disappointed at that point, but Pete took me under “ his wing” and taught me not only how to pass the test, but also how to drive safely and skilfully. Pete’s lessons were always structured and aimed to help me to understand all driving rules. I used to dislike Bristol’s big spiral roundabouts, but after lessons with Pete, they became easy and understandable for me. I would definitely recommend Pete as he is a very knowledgeable, structured, patient instructor who works hard and puts “ his soul “ in his lessons. Thank you so much, Pete :) Regards, Tamara.
Response : Thank you Tamara… you did all the hard work. Drive safely.
