Round The Bend Driving School

Had Suzanne since October and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Her style of teaching is very easy to understand and she’ll always make sure you’re comfortable in a specific area of driving before going to the next, and on top of that shes also a very kind and relatable person.

Suzanne from Round the Bend got me from first lesson to test-ready so quickly! Not only is she an amazing instructor, delivering the best advice in a really easy-to-undersrand manner, but a lovely and kind person too. Thank you Suzanne!

Had a great experience learning to drive with Matt. He made sure I was well prepared for my test and was very accommodating with my schedule and learning needs. Would highly recommend.

After not being behind a wheel for 8 years I was very nervous and Gemma was instantly calming and friendly. She has been a really great instructor and has helped me pass my test first time so I think that speaks for itself!

Excellent driving school! My instructor Gemma was great help.

My Driving instructor was Gemma I started driving lessons in September 2025 I passed my theory in Feb 2 time And passed my practical test 1 time on the 20 July 2926 with 3 minors Gemma was constantly friendly helpful and supportive throughout this process and I will always be grateful for her support Cannot recommend her enough as a driving instructor.

Suzanne was an excellent instructor. She helped me feel confident and in control of the vehicle very fast, and helped me pass my test on the first attempt! I couldn’t recommend Round the Bend enough!

Clare lepore took me from absolute beginner to passing my test. Absolutely brilliant driving instructor with all the qualities any learner will cherish. Kind, patient, supportive and calm are only afew of the words I'd use to summarise her personality, aswell as her extremely positive outlook and willingness for you to success. Thank you so much and I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn how to drive to go with her.

I learnt with Clare who is a fantastic driving instructor. She was incredibly patient and kind and explained things well and eased my nerves. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Gemma Ryder was a superb instructor, she was very informative and knowledgeable, so easy to talk too. She was extremely helpful and was really adaptable with timings and pick up locations. She was really helpful on the run up to my test and I passed first time with only one minor, all thanks to her within 3 months. I couldn’t have done it without Gemma, she is the nicest instructor you could have had. I felt comfortable and she put me at ease when I was nervous. 100% recommend! If you are looking to learn to drive definitely learn with Gemma .

Gemma has been kind, patient and supportive and has always communicated really well so that we know what to practice outside of lessons. Highly recommend.

Really informative and helpful instructor that reinforced my knowledge and taught me the key skills of being a safe and effective driver on the road. Cannot recommend enough.

Clare Lapore took me from 10 hours of lessons barely being able to drive to passing first time! Amazing teacher, patient, respectful, super knowledgeable. You’re in safe hands with Clare couldn’t highly recommend enough.

Matthew was an amazing driving instructor who helped me to past first time! He made sure that I improved on my mistakes every lesson in a supportive and kind way, thank you :).

Had an amazing experience with Round The Bend after giving driving lessons another go after a long gap. Super helpful in general and also amazing at helping you arrange a test which I really appreciated!

I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Gemma Ryder. From the very first lesson, she created a calm and supportive environment that really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. I truly don’t think I would have passed first time if it wasn’t for Gemma and her patience. I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a skilled, friendly, and dedicated driving instructor.

I had a great experience learning to drive with Suzanne. She is an incredibly patient and supportive instructor who always made me feel at ease, even when I was nervous or made mistakes. Her calm approach and clear explanations helped me build confidence quickly, and she was always encouraging throughout my lessons. Suzanne has a great way of breaking things down so they’re easy to understand, and she never rushed me, she made sure I was fully comfortable before moving on. Thanks to her guidance, I felt well-prepared and confident going into my test. I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and reliable driving instructor.

I had a fantastic experience with Round The Bend Driving School. My instructor was patient, clear in their explanations, and genuinely invested in helping me become a confident and safe driver. Every lesson felt structured and supportive, and I always left feeling like I’d made real progress. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn how to drive.

Around The Bend is absolutely great. My teacher Clare was excellent! Very supportive, patient and has great conversation, if you’re worried about your drive being boring, don't be! I cannot recommend her and Around The Bend enough if you’re looking for an effective, professional and enjoyable driving instructor. You’re in good hands!

Gemma Ryder from Round the Bend Driving school is amazing, shes patient and friendly. I was learning in an automatic car for just over a year as I couldnt get a test due to the back log and managed to pass 3rd time lucky, not through any fault of Gemmas they were my silly mistakes but Gemma persevered with me and on 13 March 2026 I passed. I couldnt have done it without the encouragement and support Gemma showed, she knows her stuff. Highly recommend using Round the Bend, especially Gemma. Shes an asset to the team…!
