Aqeela Ghumman is a great driving instructor!
Aqeela Ghumman is one of the best driving instructors I've come across! She taught me from scratch and helped me build my confidence behind the wheel step by step. Thanks to her patience and encouragement I passed my driving test first time with zero minors. She was always willing to go the extra mile to help me prepare for what can be a very stressful exam. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, professional, and knowledgeable instructor.

Phil Durmush - an exceptional driving instructor! Highly reccomended
I'm expressing my sincere gratitude to my amazing coah Phil Durmush, who successfully prepared me to pass my practical driving test on my first try!
Phil is an exceptional professional with a great talent for coaching. He is very patient, teaches with great clarity and precision and always makes sure to have fun during lessons as well. His approach and expertise made sure I was ready for all type of road situations and I felt very confident after each lesson.
I reccomend Phil Durmush to absolutely everyone who wants to pass with confidence and actually learn how to drive well.

Cannot fault Red
Cannot fault Red. My daughter had Simon Martin (Warwick based) and absolutely loved him. From the very first lesson she felt confident and enjoyed her lessons. Simon was very professional, very easy to get in touch with if I had queries and was so encouraging from the very beginning. I’m sure it all helped build her confidence as she was test ready very quickly. Unfortunately Simon was away for her actual test but he took the time to message that morning to ask how she’d got on. So proud that she passed first time. Thank you Simon for being the best driving instructor!

Max Laing was my instructor and I genuinely don't think i'd have passed without his guidance. His teaching style is EXACTLY what young nervous drivers need where he doesn't unnecessarily push you to do something you aren't comfortable with while learning. He doesn't raise his voice at mistakes no matter how silly they are like some instructors and i'd fully recommend him!

I spent £640 to book 16 hours of lessons with RED Driving School, and it has been a complete waste of a fortune.Over the last two months, my instructor has cancelled on me four separate times, throwing off my entire learning schedule. On top of that, when they do actually show up, they are consistently 20-30 minutes late.When I tried to get help, their customer support was entirely unreachable. I stayed on the phone for over an hour and nobody ever picked up. I also booked call back but never heard from them. I paid a significant amount of money expecting professional training and reliability, but instead, I got cancelled lessons, tardiness, and non-existent customer care. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Just been overtaken by RED driving school on a narrow country lane (SK10 area) with a skip wagon coming the other way. RED driving school overtook on a bend and swerved in front of us. Would definitely not recommend learning from them 🙀🙀

Ruth was a really good instructor, explained everything clearly in a way you’ll understand. We never had a bad lesson. Wouldn’t have passed my test without her

First time pass with Niall Davies driving instructor
I have just passed my driving test on the first try today. My instructor was Niall Davies, who I found to be a fantastic driving instructor. Whenever I had a question or wasn't entirely sure about something, he would always go the extra mile in explaining. I also appreciated the fact that I could discuss my decision making process and get feedback without feeling judged, and would always come away from a lesson having improved and/or having learnt something new. Niall taught in a systematic way, which was just the right amount challenging and allowed me to build my confidence without feeling rushed while ironing out my weaknesses. An all around patient, professional and reliable driving instructor.

TO THE BEST DRIVING INSTRUCTOR.
I would like to thank my instructor Phanuel Dake for his patience and support throughout my driving lessons.
He helped me build my confidence and always took the time to answer my questions without getting tired.
He never minded repeating things until I fully understood and got them right.
His constant encouragement and reassurance, especially telling me I can do it really motivated me and helped me pass my driving test.
I truly appreciate his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.
Thank you Phanuel Dake.

My instructor disencouraged
My instructor did not teach me everything I needed to know which lead me to finding tips and trics out from other sources. Nearing the exam my instructor said that I was not ready for my exam and that there would be no possibility of using her car for my exam. I insisted and said that I thought I was ready and that I wanted to take my test. Then she said that I was dangerous on the roads and that if I got lucky and passed my test I would put me and others on dangerous situations. After this I decided to find a friend to let me use their car for my test. A much older and harder to drive beaten Skoda Fabia. As I expected, I passed my test, without being dangerous on the roads or anything similar. Very bad experience with this driving school. They were the opposite of what you want to learn, disencouraging, unmotivating and unpleasant. I do not recommend, I did pass but it was because of my effort and persistence. Not listening to my instructor's negative comments was key, but I know some people would listen to these comments and give up.

Devi is an amazing instructor
Been having weekly lessons and from the very start Devi has been very informative and supportive. Very pleasant and helpful with her teaching methods. The 2 hour lessons have been a great benefit and today I passed my test 1st time. Thank you Devi 100% recommended

Glen Drummond - great and reliable driving instructor!
I passed my driving practical test first time! Glen has great teaching skills and he does his best to make you understand your driving mistakes while on lessons. He’s very patient and supportive. I have had a few driving instructors and decided to stick with him due to his teaching style and approach to discussing areas for improvements. He’s funny too!!! I wouldn’t have made it without him! Always punctual and rarely cancelled on me! After the exam, he sent me videos on driving solo for the first time and at night which demonstrated his care for his students following the end of their learner driver journey. He also got me a bag full of useful stuff for my first car. I would highly recommend him!!!!

Alaa Kosheta
Alaa Kosheta - Great Instructor
Alaa was sent to me by my old instructor only a week before my test and was able to help me with everything i needed to know in order to pass my test this morning. He is an amazing instructor and makes you understand everything perfectly. Only had around 4/5 lessons with him however by the end of the lessons i was test ready and was able to pass easily with only 5 minor faults.

Niall Davies - a great driving instructor
I passed my driving test last week, with three minors, thanks to my driving instructor, Niall Davies.
He prepared me thoroughly for the Test. A typical lesson would include my driving to and back from the test centre, Niall picked me up from my home, driving in all sorts of areas, quiet estate roads, busy dual-carriageways, and areas where the speed limit changes with bewildering rapidity. We would also take mock driving tests and afterwards Niall would meticulously go through my major and minor faults. We would also practice all the driving manoeuvrers that are included in the test, including forward and reverse bay parking, parallel parking, and the emergency stop, pulling up on the right and reversing, uphill and downhill starts. He would throw in questions on the Highway Code as I drove and we would also review all the Show Me, tell Me questions on a regular basis. In this way he ensured I was ready to take the Test.
Niall goes the extra mile in not just preparing me for the Test but also by providing me with those extra skills to become a good and safe driver after passing. So he would explain to me how he saw an unfolding situation in the road ahead and how that would affect how I drove in that situation. For example if there was a bus or cyclist ahead on a busy road with limited overtaking opportunities. He also took me on the motorway to explain the basics of driving there which has boosted my confidence to use the motorway.
This sums up my experience of Niall as a driving instructor. He is systematic and gives his pupils the confidence to drive safely in all sorts of situations. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about driving and driving techniques and what makes a good driver. He’s also a thoroughly nice bloke and I will miss our chats during our lessons. My very best wishes go to him and his family.

I recently passed my driving test
I recently passed my driving test, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without Tanisha Broady. She was incredibly supportive, patient, and professional throughout the whole process. She could be strict at times during lessons, but it was always because she genuinely cared about helping me improve and become a safe, confident driver. Her teaching style really pushed me to do my best, and it clearly worked. I am so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend her.

Passed in Chertsey!
I finally passed my driving test with the great help of Judit Veres and also Raj Sandhu. They are both amazing driving instructors with a lot of knowledge of the local area but also general driving tips. They're also nice and good to talk to, so the lessons aren't boring or stressful.
Can't thank them enough! Highly recommend them if you're in the Chertsey area
