I've been learning from Tina for quite some time now and I couldn't have asked for a more understanding, calming driving instructor like her even when she could have shouted at me a few times! Today with her support I managed to finally pass my Practical Driving Test!!! I fully recommend you request for Tina if you are wishing to pass efficiently. Thank you very much Tina!

I only had 6 hours of lessons with Simon and I passed FIRST time today with only 1 minor!!! Simon is an amazing instructor who was extremely patient with me even when I made the same mistake repeatedly! He is so supportive and calmed my nerves down on the test day with his positivity. I will definitely be back for the pass plus course! Thank you Simon!!!

Just passed my test today first time with only two minors and can't thank my driving instructor Tina enough! My previous instructor taught me so many bad habits but Tina corrected them really quickly and was super good at teaching the manoeuvres! She's also really friendly and someone who makes you feel at ease while driving. Can't thank her enough!

I cannot recommend enough Simon at Direct drive, he was absolutely brilliant. Hands down the best teacher I have had for any discipline or subject, his patience, guidance and support were second to none. I managed to pass my driving test first time with one minor in 5 weeks of lessons. Previous to this I had had 6 hours worth of driving lessons 3 years ago, and my lessons were the only time I was in a car I had no outside people to gain more driving experience outside of this so I was effectively a beginner. I am hugely grateful for all I learned from Simon, I not only learned how to pass but I learned how to drive. For me confidence was a huge reason I knew I was going to get there, but my confidence was certainly built by the help and knowledge I received on my lessons. I enjoyed every lesson, we had a laugh and whenever I made any mistakes Simon approached it reassuring me and guiding me. I could not recommend him enough, top man personally and a top instructor. Thanks again Simon 🙌🏻

I’ve recently passed my driving test after learning with Tina for quite a while. The BEST instructor ever! Her patience, kindness and caring nature makes you feel so at ease during your driving lessons. Not to mention how she really builds a rapport with you, is very understanding and tries her best to cater to your schedule as well as being very flexible. I would highly recommend to request Tina to be your driving instructor. I can not thank her enough!
