I passed my driving test yesterday
I passed my driving test yesterday! I had my lessons with Parminder, and I must say he is an extraordinary instructor. Throughout my training, he was always professional, polite, and incredibly calm. His clear guidance and patience made all the difference. I had been trying for a long time, and I truly believe that without him, it would have been very difficult to pass. Thank you so much, Parminder.

Parminder highly recommended
I pass my test two days ago by grace of ALLAH and effort of my instructor.
First, I started taking lessons from another instructor he was also from A-class. He had literally just wasted my time. I was depressed due to him. Then, I again contacted A class. This time company referred me to a really good, calm and motivated person (parminder). I even waited for him one month.
Second, I started taking lesson with him, he is really calm, motivated and nice person. His driving skills were excellent. The way he treats and teaches me is really professional. About the rules, road senses and each every thing.
Last I highly recommend to others.

Great Instructor
I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Paul Barwick. From the first lesson, he was patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He created a supportive learning environment which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.
His clear explanations and constructive feedback made it easy to understand what I needed to work on, and he always encouraged me to improve at my own pace. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I passed my driving test first time
I would highly recommend Paul Barwick to anyone looking for a skilled and friendly driving instructor.

Paul B - Professional, patient and flexible instructor
When looking for a driving instructor for my son I was recommended Paul Barwick from A Class by a few friends. Paul was professional but friendly and explained he was fully booked but he added us to his waitlist.
Fast forward a few weeks and we had a block of lessons booked, my son was a beginner to driver in five months and Paul was excellent from the first lesson to the last.
Paul was easy to communicate with, flexible and supportive, would recommend to anyone looking for an instructor.

Amazing driving instructor, exceptional customer service
I got in touch with A Class, as I had to book my driving test outside my local area and Gillingham was the closest that was available. Within a few hours, I was contacted by Sean. Sean is a fantastic, patient instructor. His calm and friendly manner put me at ease straight away and his local knowledge of the area boosted my confidence immensely. He went through all the questions the examiner might ask, and had me practice all the maneuvers, advising on how to improve as well as emphasising the importance of demonstrating safety, control and observation to the examiner. In just a few short hours, he had me test ready and I passed. I am so grateful to A Class for introducing me to Sean, and to Sean for being a fantastic instructor. Thank you so much.

A Dedicated, Skilled, and Supportive Instructor – Thank You Marcel!
As a parent, it's always a worry finding the right driving instructor for your child – someone patient, professional, and reliable. Marcel Fernandez has been all that and more. My son passed his test first time with just four minors, and I credit much of that success to Marcel’s dedication and thoughtful teaching style.
Now, here’s what my son had to say about his experience:
“Marcel is a wonderful and, most importantly, relaxed instructor. If I made a mistake, he’d calmly explain what went wrong and how to fix it—never rude or impatient, unlike one of my previous instructors. He has clever and effective tips that make driving safer and easier, like prepping the gas and biting point together or pre-turning wheels at certain junctions.
He even provided aerial photos of tricky roundabouts (like the infamous Bowaters roundabout) which helped massively with understanding positioning and safety. Every lesson ended with a recap, and he’d text me a summary of any faults—this made reviewing and improving for the next lesson so much easier.
Marcel never cut lessons short; in fact, he often stayed a few minutes extra to give feedback. He was always on time, never cancelled, and even made himself available on his day off for my test!
He’s friendly and talkative, which helpful for reinforcing important tips. After two frustrating experiences with previous instructors, Marcel was honestly a godsend. I’m so grateful he was the one who got me through. Highly recommend him—especially for anyone learning manual!”
Thank you, Marcel, for your professionalism, kindness, and genuine investment in your students' success. We couldn’t have asked for better!

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt review. We're truly grateful you took the time to share both your perspective as a parent and your son's experience in such detail—it means a great deal to us.
We know how important it is for parents to feel confident and reassured when entrusting someone with their child's learning journey, especially with something as significant as driving.
Your son's feedback is especially appreciated—it’s wonderful to hear how Marcel’s practical tips, patient guidance, and structured approach made such a difference, not just in passing the test, but in building real confidence behind the wheel. The fact that he passed first time with just four minors is a fantastic achievement, and we’re thrilled to have played a role in that success.
Thank you again for your kind words and glowing recommendation. We’ll be sure to share this with Marcel—feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do! Wishing your son many safe and happy miles ahead. 🚗💨

A Class driving instructor - Parminder
I cannot praise Parminder as a driving instructor enough!
Thanks to his calm, clear and patient teaching approach, I passed my driving test on the first try - something I never would have imagined feasible! Parminder made every lesson feel productive and supportive, always explaining things clearly in a way that made sense to me and ultimately helping to build my confidence and safety behind the wheel!
From navigating aspects I found challenging like roundabouts, clearance/spatial awareness and manoeuvres, Parminder covered it all with patience, professionalism and encouragement! His specialist knowledge of the skills and routes was integral to me being able to pass!
I had a huge amount of anxiety leading up to the test and Parminder was incredibly supportive, calm and accommodating - making space for extra lessons, focusing on areas I found challenging allowing me to ease my nerves. He went above and beyond to enable me to relax and ultimately pass which I couldn’t have done without his support!
I honestly couldn’t recommend an instructor more and im so grateful for his guidance - if you’re looking for an instructor who doesn’t just teach you to drive but who genuinely cares, builds your confidence and gets you the results then I wouldn’t hesitate to go with Parminder!
Thank you Parminder so much for all the hard work and commitment, I’m truly thankful to have had you as my instructor!
