Round The Bend Driving School

I honestly couldn’t recommend Gemma enough! She was calm, patient (even with my dodgy manoeuvres) she put me at so much ease! I’d recommend to anyone! Thanks so much Gemma for helping me pass first time.

I can’t recommend Scott enough! He was an absolute legend throughout my lessons, always patient, clear, and supportive. He explained things in a way that made driving feel much less intimidating, and his calm approach really boosted my confidence on the road. Thanks to his guidance I passed first time, and I genuinely don’t think I could have done it without him. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who is professional, reliable, and actually makes learning to drive enjoyable, then Scott is the one to go for!

It is a fantastic quality of driving lessons. My teacher (Duncan) was very calm and patient and passed my test first try with no issue. As well as another instructor helped me bring a test forward without charging me. Thank you so much.

My instructor Clare was great. I was quite nervous about starting driving lessons and being in a car due to past experiences. Clare was really patient with me, explained things clearly in our sessions and she didn't rush on to complete the curriculum as I've experienced other instructors doing. She strikes a good balance between being encouraging and providing constructive criticism in a way that you don't feel silly. Couldn't have passed my test without her. Will miss my car chats with her! Can't recommend enough!

I had Claire as my instructor and honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She’s amazing! Calm no matter what, fast reflexes and the perfect balance of constructive criticism and positive reinforcement which was really helpful towards my confidence. At the end of each session she would make a record to show what went well and what needed more practice, so the next lesson was always focused and productive. She explains things really clearly (in different ways if needed) and takes into account your learning style. On top of that, she’s just a truly genuine lovely person. She’s motivating, patient, and the kind of instructor you actually look forward to seeing (even at 7:30am lessons! ) The atmosphere was always comfortable and positive, and I ended each lesson feeling real progression. I couldn’t imagine a better driving instructor or a better experience learning to drive. Passed today all thanks to her!Thank you Clare!

My instructor Suzanne was absolutely fantastic, she was able to make me feel calm and confident in my driving. I highly reccomend her teaching and approach and I am very grateful for what she has done for me :).

Suzanne was a fantastic teacher, who was very patient with me as a very nervous driver, whilst also encouraging me to become more confident on the road. She is very knowledgable about test routes, and knows when you are ready to pass. Plus she helped as much as she could if I needed to change lesson times etc which I really appreciated!

My instructor Gemma was amazing! I had had very low self confidence from bad experiences learning to drive with another company and Gemma was a breath of fresh air. She is very patient and understanding and would adapt each lesson to focus on the areas that needed work, but I never felt criticised or judged. Gemma was really supportive and we had some good chuckles along the way. I passed first time with only 1 minor fault which I honestly never thought possible. Thank you Gemma!

Gemma is an excellent instructor. She keeps lessons varied and interesting and adapts them well to your strengths and weaknesses all the while being kind and compassionate. Highly recommended.

My Instructor was Clare she was honestly brilliant as an instructor and is more of a good friend now, she is adept at keeping you calm (which was especially good considering how much anxiety I have) and being patient, she is very good at explaining and breaking down how to drive, she is also Disability Friendly which is reassuring, I cannot stress how vital she was to passing my driving exam and I consider her to be a friend for all the time we spent together.

Amazing instructors and provided a great service. Couldn’t fault them at all. Very supportive and helped me when I really needed them.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience of learning to drive than I had with Suzanne at Round the Bend. Having put it off for many years (I’m 37), I was really anxious about getting behind the wheel but Suzanne put me at ease so quickly and was so patient and reassuring with my struggles along the way. She really took the time to understand my individual learning needs, and I felt very comfortable being able to express what I was finding hard and why so that we could address it. In the end, I passed first time - which I genuinely never would have believed would be possible! Thank you Suzanne, you’re brilliant :).

Gemma was a brilliant instructor, she was helpful, kind and very calming. She made my lessons feel easy. I would definitely recommend. Best I have ever had.

I recently took refresher driving lessons with Clare, and had a fantastic experience. Clare is incredibly calm and patient, and her approach really helped build my confidence back behind the wheel. Highly recommend!

What can I say? My instructor Gemma has been so amazing, I cannot praise her enough! From the very first lesson I felt comfortable and safe under Gemmas guidance. I have struggled in the past (with other instructors) to find lessons engaging but Gemma pushed me just the right amount to keep me from getting bored. I have been putting off getting my licence for 17 years and in 4 short months Gemma got me there, passing first time with only 5 minors! Over the moon!

Susanne was absolutely lovely! I was rather nervous getting in the car for the first time, but she taught me in such a way that I felt really comfortable driving by the time for the test! I highly recommend this!

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. Suzanne was amazing, so patient and supportive, I wouldn’t have been able to pass first time without her!

I'd put off learning to drive for years but Clare made me feel totally at ease and I managed to pass first time. I've recommended her to anyone I know who's looking for an instructor.

I learnt to drive with Gemma. Over all I've had a fabulous experience, she's alway's had words of comfort and made my learning to drive journey easier. I really appreciate all the time, effort and commitment Gemma has put in to helping me pass my practical test :).

Gemma was 2nd driving instructor very calm and patient got me through my test on my second attempt highly recommended.
