Hi. I passed my driving test today in my first attempt. My instructor was Mr Saif Ullah and he is very professional and patient. He ensures fine tune all areas of weakness I truly enjoyed the whole learning experience and am thankful to him.

Had the pleasure of having Adam as my driving instructor after a bad experience with my previous one. I was a little nervous to begin with but immediately Adam put me at ease! He’s a brilliant and professional instructor who has made me a confident driver. I could not recommend Stoke driving school or Adam enough.

Great teacher. I'd attempted test before with a different instructor and failed, so decided to try automatic. Neal gave me confidence in my driving abilities and passed first time in automatic. Can't sing his praises enough.

I had my lessons with Vincent and would highly recommend him as a driving instructor. He is knowledgeable and explains things clearly, ensuring I understood each point before moving on. Vincent is punctual and professional, he never turns up late or finishes a lesson early, and sometimes even allows the lesson to run over if needed, which shows he genuinely cares about his students’ progress. He also uses his iPad to teach, providing diagrams and examples that make it easier to understand different driving situations and rules. This extra step helped me visualise concepts before practicing them on the road, making the lessons far more effective. Vincent is very responsible and always ensures his students get the most out of every lesson. He pays close attention to areas that need improvement and gives practical advice to help you progress quickly. Lessons are always well-structured - he asks about your goals for each session and plans the route accordingly. This personalised approach ensured I was consistently improving and focusing on the right areas. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving exam on my second attempt and now feel confident driving on my own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, professional, and genuinely committed to helping you become a safe and confident driver, I would highly recommend Vincent.Moreexpand_more

I practiced with Joe Loton who was fabulous! I enjoyed our classes because he was very knowledgeable and easy going. Also very supportive on the day of my test. I recommend him 100%. Not only did I pass on my first attempt but I feel a much safer driver now.

Big thanks to Saifullah for helping me pass my driving test! He is very patient, supportive, and explains everything clearly. Practicing the test routes with him gave me a lot of confidence. An excellent instructor highly recommend!

I had automatic driving lessons with Joseph Loton for about six weeks, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. From day one, he was incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging. His calm and knowledgeable approach made a huge difference in building my confidence on the road. Even after not passing the first time, he never let me get discouraged - he believed in me and helped me stay motivated. Every lesson felt like a step forward thanks to his guidance, and I’m so happy to say I passed on my second attempt. I’m really grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great driving instructor. Esther xxx.

Great instructor- Paul, who spent the time and patience to get me from being an anxious learner to getting my full licence. Paul has a friendly persona and is easy to get along with while maintaining a professional approach. Would recommend to any learner, whether you are nervous like me or eager to get on the road.

Adam is a very good driving instructor, his teaching is very thorough and his patience with learning is a top notch. Whenever he says you’re ready for you text just he assured that you’re throughly ready.

I took automatic driving lessons with Dilip, and he has been an excellent instructor. During my first session, I made 7 or 8 serious faults, particularly at roundabouts. However, Dilip used his tablet to clearly explain simple techniques that helped me understand what I needed to do. By the next session, I felt much more confident and was able to drive without any serious faults. He patiently guided me through the rules and behaviours essential for driving around the Newcastle-under-Lyme test centre, which is known for its many roundabouts. Dilip instilled a positive, “can-do” attitude in me before the test and ensured I was well-prepared with the knowledge I had. His teaching style is calm, clear, and not overly pushy, which made the learning process comfortable. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test on the first attempt with just one minor fault! Thank you, Dilip – I highly recommend him as a driving instructor.Moreexpand_more

Dilip was my instructor from September to July, when I passed my test. I must say he is very good at teaching you till you understand. He very patient and kind. He believed in me, continued to push me to be my best till I pass my test. Believe me when I say Dilip is one of the best instructors out there. Thank you Dilip.

Stoke driving school is a tested and trusted school. One of the instructors is Neil McLaughlin who is good at the work. Thanks Neil.

0/10 service from Vincent Chau, after 16 hours this man decided to stop the lesson after me asking a question in regards to hand break usage vs gas usage. He got out of the car and canceled the lesson after 1h. Not only that but he had the audacity to scream at me from the top of his lungs and tell me to “SHUT UP! ” and create a very uncomfortable and unstable environment. Please save yourself the money and go to someone else, no one should be paying £85 to experience hell, I have never seen an instructor cancel a lesson over a question asked by a student. Very disappointed, invested so much money and time for nothing. DO NOT book with him, he is not willing to teach but rather blame pupils that they are not willing to learn, but who pays £85 for 2hours to not learn? Overall highly dissatisfied and would NEVER recommend.
Response : Thank you for your message and for sharing your thoughts following your lesson on 29 July 2025 with Vincent Chau. We are genuinely sorry that the lesson ended in a way that left you feeling disappointed. However, after reviewing both your account and Vincent’s detailed written report, we believe it’s important to present a fair and balanced perspective. Vincent is a DVSA-approved instructor with a consistently excellent track record and receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from his pupils. He has always conducted himself professionally and in line with the DVSA’s National Standards. In this case, he made a judgment call to end the lesson early due to concerns around emotional safety and focus, which he is not only permitted but required to do under those guidelines.A full refund was issued to you as a gesture of goodwill.It’s sad to see such a negative one-star review, especially given the time, care, and effort Vincent has put into your previous lessons and the progress you had made. While we respect your right to leave feedback, we believe this particular review does not fairly reflect the overall experience or the professionalism shown.We wish you the very best in your future driving journey.Moreexpand_more

Matt was absolutely fantastic in helping me persevere and remembering to build on my strengths and weaknesses in order to finally pass!
Sophie Sumner

I’ve was a student with Matt just under 2 years, he’s taught me so much within driving and wouldn’t have passed my test if it wasn’t for his determination to where I am today thanks to his amazing teaching techniques and his amazing dedication into helping me able to pass my test so thank you, if you looking for a manual instructor Matt is the way to go thank you for everything.
Katy Coton

Excellent from starting lessons to my daughter passing her test first time. She felt safe and secure with Matt and so did we. Great communication. Would highly recommend.
