Orchard Driving School

My son reached out to Byron close to his test when he found himself in a tight spot. Byron was incredibly accommodating taking my son on last minute to prepare him for his test, providing invaluable lessons tailored to his needs. His knowledge and experience passed on to my son was second to none and he installed a sense of confidence that made the world of difference! Couldn’t recommend orchard driving enough.

Very fair price per session with flexible time slots, does weekends. He will help you through stressful situations and patient. The service is very high quality and will recommend to use this service.

Byron was incredible. He fit me in his schedule last minute to prep me for my exam. He gave tips of what the examiner will be looking for, also using language in which the examiner will be using. Byron also provided a beautifully printed study packet. While it is ideal to have multiple sessions with a driving instructor Bryon helped alleviate some concerns and stressors I had about participating in the exam. I highly recommend.

Byron is a fantastic instructor. I contacted him after a previous instructor had let my son down. He started lessons and the difference was noticeable straight away. My son is really happy at having just passed his test first time. Would highly recommend Byron.

I can't recommend Byron enough. I've tried learning to drive with at least 3 different instructors before Byron and from my first lesson with him I felt comfortable and reassured by his teaching style. Today I passed my test in Bridgend - with 0 faults! I could never have done that without an incredible instructor. Byron is kind, calm and patient. He reads situations intuitively and really helped me to overcome my doubts and feel confident in myself. Learning to drive has been a surreal experience - it's the best feeling in the world when you pass!

My son was learning to drive with Byron, he learnt a lot and was comfortable driving with Byron, good communication, highly recommended, my son passed his test and is a confident driver now. Thank you.

Gareth is a fantastic instructor. I had many previous instructors and never got anywhere near passing until I changed to Gareth. He is very patient and calm and focuses on the positive. I think Gareth is more skilled in knowing how to actually teach people to drive because he was a school teacher. I strongly recommend him and orchard driving school.

Byron is very professional, knowledgeable and patient. I had two other instructors to compare with and Byron was far superior. I’m an adult from another country - Byron focused on what I needed to learn to drive safely in the UK. Highly recommend! I passed and I think it was because of Byron’s tutelage. Many thanks!

Byron has been an excellent tutor from beginning to end. He is flexible and accommodating regarding availability for lessons and has a friendly approachable manner which really helped me when I got anxious. He taught me well, supplied me with material to learn in preparation for my test and provided valuable information to help me drive more confidently on the road. Thanks to Byron I passed first time! I can’t recommend Bryon enough as your driving instructor!

Biron taught me so much in such a short amount of time ! Due to work I had to rearrange a few lessons and nothing was a problem with him, he worked around my hours and needs and so be it I passed first time with all he taught me highly recommended.

Travelled all the way from Essex due to Byron’s skilled teaching. Byron enabled me to pass in a matter of a few days in an area I do not know with only 1 minor, I would 100% recommend Byron to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

I had lessons with Gareth and he was an excellent instructor. Always patient and understanding. Helped me pass 1st time!

Amazing company, good price, Gareth was really professional and always worked around you nothing was ever to much for him. Always makes you feel comfortable and works at his students pace never rushes you to do anything your anxious about until you feel comfortable.

I was able to pass my driving test first time thanks to Gareth’s help. He was very helpful and patient.

I would like to congratulate Byron for enabling my daughter Izzy to pass her test first time. Byron has given Izzy the confidence to enjoy driving and the skills to ensure that she drives safely in the future.

I had one 3 hour session with Gareth and then 2 hours the next day. Passed my test first time with only two minors! I would recommend Gareth to anyone, he was patient and really helped my confidence in the test. Also he is very knowledgeable, again really helped my nerves. If youre a worrier like me then Gareth is your best bet. 5 stars :).

Bryon was an amazing instructor he helped me pass my driving test and gain confidence while driving on the roads. He’s friendly and calm, would highly recommend him as a driving instructor.

Well, after being on this planet for fifty seven years, I decided to take driving lessons with Byron. Initially I was concerned that I was too long in the tooth for learning a new skill but he put me at ease immediately and gave me the sense that I was capable. I found him fair but firm and I went on to pass first time with absolutely no faults at all! I would highly recommend him. Thank you Byron! Kevin, Pencoed.

I learned to drive with Gareth. Great instructor and helped me pass my test first time. Great driving instructor and helps you feel completely prepared for your test. Would recommend to anyone.

Orchard Driving School currently offer the ability to learn to drive in either a Ford or Volkswagon, with either an electric or manual handbrake and the ability to be taught in Welsh if required. There is a choice of two instructors, and Gareth recently provided lessons for my son enabling him to pass his test first time. He was friendly, polite, knowledgeable, easy to contact, flexible with his lesson times and provided feedback on my son's progress throughout. I would definitely recommend Orchard Driving School to anyone looking for lessons in the area, as their years of experience were more than evident in teaching my son to drive and not just pass a test.
