1st Time School of Motoring  Reviews 

Have recently passed my Automatic driving test finally first time with only 2 minors!! after starting automatic lessons with 1st Time last year September! Special shoutout to the instructor Solomon - a really good instructor and such a down to earth genuine person who helped elevate my driving skills, he was very patient and gave me gave me such good feedback throughout our lessons. His humour was unmatched and definitely made our drives so positive and enjoyable, will miss them for sure! These lessons have definitely helped me become a safe and competent driver, helping me contribute to keeping the roads safe. I would 100% recommend 1st Time to do your driving lessons and hopefully getting Solomon as your instructor!

Anup is a great driving instructor who genuinely wants you to pass. Very patient, explains everything clearly, and helps build your confidence behind the wheel. Highly recommend.

Soleiman was an incredible instructor. I can not fault his teaching and hugely appreciate his time.

Solomon was a fantastic instructor. His patience, guidance and frequent advice is much appreciated. He corrected mistakes in a polite, but not disheartening manner, so that you’re receptive to any future issues! Highly recommend for anyone starting to learn to drive!

Anup was very helpful getting me ready for my driving test, he was very patient and kind.

My experience was very good because 3 quite an anxious person and I was made to feel safe and comfortable throughout all of my driving lessons.
My instructor was very helpful, calm and gave clear instructions. Always polite, respectful and professional. Good Availability throughout and took time to make sure I understood the task ahead and explained anything I was unsure about with kindness and patience.

I had my lessons with Anup and I cannot praise him enough, he made me feel comfortable, taught me what I needed to learn and also reminded me that we are learners and we will get the end result we need. Anup is an amazing instructor who I will be recommending to family and friends thank you! I finally got that pass!!

Passed first time with Mr Jonas Ochiagha. He was extremely kind and patient and all his methods used are guaranteed to make you pass your test. Would definitely recommend.

Anup is great instructor, calm person who will make sure he teaches you well for you to pass your driving test, it was a great pleasure.

My instructor, Franco, was always respectful, supportive, and professional. He believed in me and remained patient despite the mistakes I made throughout my learning journey. At the end of each lesson, Franco took the time to explain what I needed to improve on and provided constructive feedback that helped build my confidence.
He created a calm and encouraging learning environment, never making me feel embarrassed about getting things wrong, and consistently motivated me to keep trying. His professionalism, understanding, and dedication to helping his students succeed truly stood out. I genuinely appreciate all of Franco’s guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress

I passed 2nd time however I had 3 different driving instructors. 2 of them were great however 1 of them named John was absolutely awful to me. I had told him I had booked my 2nd test , and he agreed to help me however when my test was near he decided to fully cancel on me and refused to let me use his car for the examine. I was left alone and did not know what to do and my theory would have expired in a month, but luckily I found a new instructor to help me and I passed!! Would not recommend John, honestly one of the rudest instructors I’ve encountered

Passed my driving practical recently; Farid A Chowdhury is a great instructor. Patient, kind and encouraging. Good School of Motoring, and a very good instructor. Ask for Farid, he will not let you down.

My instructor farid was really helpful and patient. He was also great to talk to and made me like driving.

I passed my driving test for the first time thanks to Anup! He’s an amazing instructor who teaches you to truly understand the road — not just how to pass the test, but how to drive confidently and safely.

He’s patient, clear, and incredibly supportive, which made a huge difference to my confidence. Every lesson felt calm, structured, and focused on real progress.

I highly recommend Anup to anyone looking for a great driving instructor who genuinely cares about helping you become a safe and confident driver.

Anup has been the best driving instructor I could have asked for. I highly recommend him, and thanks to his excellent teaching, I passed my driving test with 0 faults.

What stood out most was how he adapted every lesson to my pace. If he saw that I was progressing quickly, he moved things forward without wasting time. At the same time, whenever I needed extra support, he took the time to explain things properly and make sure I understood.

I was particularly impressed by the simple abbreviations and checks he taught me to help stay safe and aware on the road. He also went the extra mile by using a toy car and a book to demonstrate road positioning, junctions, roundabouts, manoeuvres, and how to handle different traffic situations. Those visual explanations made complex concepts much easier to understand.

Anup is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping his students succeed. I was fortunate to find the right instructor on my first attempt and never felt the need to look elsewhere. Passing with 0 faults was the result of his excellent teaching combined with our shared determination throughout the learning process.

Thank you, Anup, for all your support and guidance.

I passed my driving test today thanks to Anup from 1st Time school of motoring, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

He was incredibly patient, calm, experienced and supportive throughout the whole process. He explained things clearly, gave lots of useful tips and techniques, and always made sure I fully understood everything before moving on. Even when I was nervous or doubting myself, he stayed encouraging and helped build my confidence.

What I really appreciated was how dedicated he was — he would genuinely try to move things around to fit lessons in and make sure I was fully prepared for my test. I always felt like he cared about helping me become a safe and confident driver, not just passing the test.

Thanks to his teaching, I felt well prepared for both the test routes and driving independently overall. I’m so grateful for all the support and would highly recommend Anup to anyone looking for a driving instructor!

Learning to drive with Stephan Hassan, also known as “Coach,” has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. From our very first introductory meeting and assessment lesson, his approach was professional, constructive, and incredibly reassuring. He immediately identified both my strengths and weaknesses and created a well-structured lesson plan tailored specifically to my needs and progress.

Every lesson was organised, purposeful, and delivered with a high level of discipline and professionalism. He maintained strict standards throughout the learning process, which pushed me to improve consistently while also building my confidence behind the wheel. His teaching style was patient yet firm, ensuring that I developed safe driving habits and a strong understanding of road awareness.

What truly sets him apart is his vast knowledge, experience, and ability to explain even the most difficult driving situations in a calm and understandable way. His thoughtful advice and practical techniques made a huge difference in my development as a driver. He not only taught me how to pass a driving test but also how to become a confident, safe, and responsible driver for life.

When I first started, I had very little confidence and almost no driving experience. Through his dedication, guidance, and structured teaching methods, he completely transformed me from a beginner into a fully test-ready driver. The improvement in my driving ability and confidence has been remarkable.

Coach consistently went the extra mile throughout my learning journey. This included carefully planning lessons, conducting realistic mock tests, covering potential test routes in detail, and thoroughly educating me on driving standards and examiner expectations. His commitment to my success was evident in every lesson.

I am genuinely grateful for Stephan Hassan’s support, professionalism, patience, and dedication. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and highly committed driving instructor.
