My instructor was Sean and without him, I certainly wouldn’t have passed. He is everything you need in a teacher: patient, kind and funny. He never gave up on me even when I gave up on myself and so I... See more

Massive thanks to Tony! I’d been driving with Tony from about February up until my test yesterday (June) and I cannot emphasise how amazing he has been. Tony is the most patient, kind, funny... See more

I did a one week intensive driving course with Leon and managed to pass first time. He was so supportive and I was able to become a much more confident and skilled driver thanks to him. Highly recommended as I was able to pass my test much quicker than I was expecting too.

Passed first time, 1 minor fault

Couldn’t recommend my instructor John enough! I was incredibly nervous to start driving lessons as I’d had a bad experience before, but managed to pass first time with 36hrs lessons. John was incredibly patient, encouraging and good at teaching. I was not only taught how to do things, but why. I did not have a single bad lesson, and came out of my test with confidence to drive independently :)

Passed first time with Sean

Passed first time with Sean, feel really lucky to have ended up with him. He has a very honest teaching style and tells you how it is. Was given just the right amount of space to feel like an independent driver and make mistakes, but still know he’s there to make it safe. Really happy in the end, thanks a lot Sean!

Honestly I had such a bad experience…

Honestly I had such a bad experience with this driving school. My instructor, named Tony, had encouraged me to book my driving test and felt I had enough practice from my lessons, but last minute, on the day before my test, he told me he wouldn't allow me to sit for the test with the instructors car. Really unprofessional, would not recommend.

Dear Alex

There was a 6 week gap where you had stopped your lessons. Our instructor did pre warn that he would cancel the test if you was not ready.

Our instructors reserve the right to withhold the use of their car for test purposes if they do not believe the pupil to be ready.

Kind regards

Alfies

Automatic Driving Lesson in Chingford

I did my automatic driving lesson with Lila Blow, I’m so pleased to be one of her students! She is very patient and fun to be with, which made me feel comfortable and easier for me to understand her explanations. I really recommend their school, they’re very friendly through phone calls too! Thank you for helping me pass my driving test, I have gained so much knowledge and development in driving, I will definitely use them everyday.

Amazing instructor - Claire from Alfie's Driving School

Claire was my driving instructor at Alfie's Driving School. She was just amazing, always punctual, keeps us cool and gives very clear instructions and ideas. She is a very trustworthy person. Even though I had a lot of changes in my schedule due to some personal reasons, she was very accommodative and most importantly, she quickly replanned my course which made me pass my driving test with just only 1 minor error at Hornchurch Test Center.
Overall, my whole experience with Alfie's driving school was brilliant as they were very prompt in their response, quickly assigned me my instructor (Claire) and also their price is not too expensive.
Thanks, Anil

Great experience from start to finish

Great experience from start to finish!
Leon was super helpful in getting things arranged and started for me.
My instructor was Jeff who was an amazing tutor!
I am not the most confident and can often lack self belief but he dealt with that perfectly and didn’t let it fester.
He was always calm, encouraging and could tell you a story or two :)
I passed today with 1 minor and honestly could not have done it without Jeff’s help, support and knowledge!

Great Experience

I passed on my first attempt with only 1 minor with the help of Lila, who is a fantastic driving instructor. Always very patient, encouraging, friendly, and managed to calm my initial worries. Would recommend to anyone looking to start their driving journey.

Very Impressed.

I have been driving for many years, and only consider myself an average but law abiding driver. However, yesterday 31st March 2022 I followed one of your L driver cars over the Gallows Corner flyover about 7.15p.m. Your instructor really impressed me, so I am writing a review for your company. The driver of the vehicle actually stuck to the 20mph limit and did not even start to accelerate until the 50mph sign. If only everybody was to drive like this, the roads would be a far safer place. As I say, well done to whoever it was, and I hope you continue to instruct in such a law abiding way. Excellent....my respect certainly earned!
