Best teacher ever!
Rob is a fantastic driving instructor! I will definitely be recommending him to everyone, including my sister next year!
Peter is a LEGEND
Peter is a LEGEND. Without him, there is absolutely no way i would've passed my test, let alone first time! His patience and knowledge are second to none and I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend him to you for your driving lessons and guarantee you he will make you the best possible driver he can. Small space, slow pace!
Mark - fantastic instructor!!
I had a brilliant experience learning to drive with Mark, he was on time for every lesson and was always happy to have a conversation which made lessons really enjoyable and helped combat my nerves! I would highly recommend him to anyone :)
Thank you so much to Dan
Thank you so much to Dan. I passed 1st time at sicup with 1 driving fault. Would highly recommend Better Driver for driving lessons, had an excellent experience, and gained knowledge and confidence on the road.
First class service from Naomi
My son’s driving instructor, Naomi, has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She was incredibly accommodating with lesson times, which made the whole process so much easier for us as a family. Her communication was always clear, friendly, and reliable, we always knew exactly what was happening and what to expect.
From the very first lesson, Naomi made my son feel completely at ease. Her calm, supportive approach helped build his confidence straight away, and it was clear she genuinely cared about creating a positive and stress-free learning experience. He passed first time thanks to her guidance.
We’re so grateful for everything Naomi has done to help him progress. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient, professional, and truly dedicated driving instructor.
Simon and Rob - highly recommended!
I learned to drive with Simon, with a few lessons from Rob, and would highly recommend both of them.
Simon is a patient instructor whose calm, uncomplicated and relaxed approach allowed me to learn to drive much faster, and with much more confidence, than I expected. He is also very easy to chat to, and I looked forward to all our lessons.
Rob is a natural teacher with seemingly endless practical tips that made learning — especially the areas I was struggling with — much easier.
Both genuinely cared that I passed and were highly supportive throughout.
Thanks both!
Amazing instructors
Amazing instructors.
After having an instructor who yelled at her and destroyed her self-confidence whilst cancelling loads of her lessons, Mark was nothing short of amazing. Always professional and rarely late (it happens due to traffic some times but it was never by much) he never cancelled a lesson and built up her self confidence again. He also took her to her test at an inhumanly early hour on a Sunday without complaint.
I couldn't recommend him more
Driving with John was like a breath of…
Driving with John was like a breath of fresh air as I had to change instructors due to bad experiences with the previous one. I was a very nervous driver so it took me a long time to pick it up. John taught me to drive for over a year and was always so patient and creative when trying to explain certain things to me which helped with my confidence. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without his specific teaching and calm nature. Thank you so much John and the team for helping me pass my test!
Better driving were a brilliant group…
Better driving were a brilliant group to choose to help build my driving skills up to perfection and I couldn’t have done it all without my Instructor Simon! A really helpful Instructor and a really good person too! Thanks a lot.
Highly recommended
John is a friendly and patient driving instructor, very professional and punctual.
We knew our son was in good hands and safe during his lessons. John done a fantastic job of building our sons confidence in his driving and as a result of this our son passed his test on his 1st attempt. Big thank you to John for all you have done with our son Taylor.
I highly recommend John as a driving instructor
Andy
Andy is easy to talk to and when i’m confused he will always explain everything to me until i understand. Andy is a great driving instructor and i definitely would recommend him to people.
Highly recommended my instructor
My instructor Andy is an amazing instructor, he is friendly, patient and clear with his instructions. Thanks to him I’m much more confident behind the wheel (and I’m no longer scared of parallel parking). I would highly recommend
Couldn't recommend Andy more highly
I had regular lessons with Andy for 3 months with no prior experience, and he always managed to fit me in despite short notice. When I was ready he managed to get a me a test within the next week which I passed with only 1 fault thanks to all of the high quality lessons and mock tests with Andy. I couldn't recommend him enough: he has a lovely car and is very encouraging, patient and has many ways of explaining himself including drawing things out on a whiteboard. Additionally he was very helpful outside of lessons and always responded quickly to any questions I had over Whatsapp. Thank you Andy!
My instructor was Andy and he helped me…
My instructor was Andy and he helped me build my confidence when driving on the roads and helped me learn how to safely drive and pass my test first time. Overall i have had a great experience with this company due to my instructor being a lovely, patient and supportive person who helped me a lot with my driving experience. Thank you :)
Peter was the best instructor ever
Peter was the best instructor I ever had! I already had my license,but haven't driven in years, plus I learnt and passed driving on the other side of the road/car. My biggest issue was confidence. I booked 4 refresher lessons with him to focus on confidence building, and UK driving, and honestly the results have exceeded my expectations. He was patient, explaining everything I wasn't sure about, he always checked what I wanted to focus on, and pushed me to practice things he knew I'd find challenging (I did tell him to do this). He also managed to schedule me in a busy period,with my difficult availability. Thanks to him I have the best attitude to driving I ever had, after years of refusing to even practice. So thank you Peter, thanks to you I've overcome one of my biggest obstacles. Now I just need to practice more :)
I had Mark he was a very clear…
I had Mark he was a very clear instructor with good chat and got me a pass
Peter Better Driver Training
Peter was my instructor and he was absolutely amazing, he explained each topic in a clear manner and always made sure I communicated the things I found most difficult and then spent extra time nailing those. He also helped a lot with nerves right up until the test and made sure I did the best I could even if I was unsure about some topics.
Had a total of 6 lesson with Peter
Had a total of 6 lesson with Peter, 12 hours of driving. What can I say, he was brilliant, very honest, efficient & said it how it was. I honestly can not thank him enough, I passed my test today & I honestly could not of done it without his teaching, advice & support. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, it means so much.
Better driving School Tonbridge
Better driving School, tonbridge, John, outstanding instructor.
He has taught two of my three teenagers who both passed first time and are confident safe drivers.
You can tell he has been a professional driver for many years with his approach to teaching and road safety and driver awareness.
Also very helpful with being flexible around exams and appointments too.
