Use kinetic!

I had Nathan Dinner as my driving instructor, and from the first lesson onwards he was kind, supportive and helped me with anything I needed. Nathan had been a brilliant instructor throughout my lessons, helping me pass first time with zero minors! Hugely grateful for Nathan and would recommend him to anyone👍

Best driving lesson experience

I had a great experience learning to drive with Aidan Simpson. Starting from scratch, I became a confident and smooth driver in just few sessions and passed my test on the first attempt.

He’s patient, clear, and very supportive, making each lesson easy to follow and effective. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable driving instructor.

I passed first time today with 4…

I passed first time today with 4 minors. My instructor was Frankie and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was always extremely patient with me and my emotions. She always gave me so much motivation and never pressured me to do things I didn’t feel ready for. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have felt as ready as I was.

I finally passed with 3 minors

I finally passed with 3 minors. My instructor Tee was amazing. I started with less confidence and a lot of anxiety but he was so patient with me and taught me how to drive confidently and safely. So happy! I will definitely recommend to use him as an instructor. Thank you Tee, and kinetic driving school.

Tee- Kinetic

A friend recommended me to learn with Tee and it was an excellent decision. Very friendly instructor, taught me everything i needed to know in a short amount of time. The teaching process and steps for manoeuvres was perfect and easy to remember. Highly recommend

First time pass, thanks to Tee

My instructor was Tee, and thanks to him, I was able to pass my driving test on my first try. Even though I was incredibly nervous, he gave me the confidence that I could pass. He especially helped me improve my judgement and driving at roundabouts, so I am really grateful for his teaching.

Tee - Kinetic

Tee was absolutely fantastic as a driving instructor. He helped me from start to finish and was incredibly helpful and did not hold me back at all allowing me to fulfil my potential to the maximum. He is incredibly calm, patient and reassuring and explains all of his points clearly helping you to improve faster. On top of this, Tee is a really great guy and truly wants the best for all of his pupils from the very beginning. Thank you Tee

Sat is amazing

Sat is amazing, he made me feel calm, confident and gave great advice which made me pass first time with only 2 minors. If you are looking for an automatic driving instructor I definitely recommend sat.
