Stu my driving instructor has been amazing! I pass today first time with 2 minors. I have been in the process of learning to drive for years now but due to having kids and nerves it has taken me a while. Stu was patient kind and a great teacher. Without stu I would not have passed if he didn’t believe in me. Thank you t.s driving school for changing my life. Highly highly recommend.

Stuart was an amazing driving instructor and helped me pass 1st try. He was calm even if I made mistakes which helped so much and taught me everything I needed to know with simple and easy techniques. He has now helped myself and my 2 elder sisters pass! 100% recommend.

I’ve had 2 other driving instructors prior to Stuart in TS driving school and I have learnt more in a week with Stuart than any other instructor I have had in the past. I failed my first test last year and came to TS driving school just over a week before my test and passed! Thank you so much for all of the hours you squeezed me in!

The best driving school in Swindon

I want to express my gratitude to Stu for helping me pass my exam on the first attempt. The journey with Stu began after a less-than-pleasant experience with my previous instructor from BSM who was the greediest old man I have ever seen. He was all about the cha-ching! Every lesson felt like a money-making marathon. We were stuck doing the same maneuvers over and over, and I swear, he invented new reasons to keep me on the road longer. It was like learning to drive took a back seat to his bank account.
After a whopping 40 hours of lessons, he drops the bomb: "Cancel your test and I am not going to take you to the test centre." He showed me some statistics that at my age (36) it would be a miracle to pass the exam after 40 hours of lesson and it would destroy his pass rate and he might lose his instruction certificate! I cancelled the test and booked another one. Just to add a sprinkle of frustration, he decides to not take me to the test center only 30 minutes before the test, after a mind-boggling 60 hours of lessons. He was trying to convince me to take more lessons because there is a tiny distance to being a perfect driver.
In my search for a new instructor, I discovered TS Driving School and had the pleasure of learning from Stu. Taking a few lessons to adapt to a new car, and with Stu's guidance, I refined my manoeuvres and overcame weaknesses, leading to a successful first-time pass with only 3 minor errors.

I recently passed my driving test with the help of Stu. I couldn't have done it without him. He was patient, kind, and knowledgeable, and he took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He provided clear and constructive feedback after each lesson, which helped me continuously improve my driving skills. His friendly and positive attitude made every lesson enjoyable, and I always looked forward to our sessions. Thanks to his guidance and support, I was able to pass my test. I highly recommend this driving instructor to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and friendly driving instructor who can help them achieve their driving goals.

I’ve just passed with Stuart as my instructor and I’m so greatful. He was reliable and professional but also super friendly which gave me great comfort when faced with the new challenge of learning to drive. Stu was also great at building my confidence and being accommodating to my busy schedule. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend.

Another first time pass with Stu!

Another first time pass for one of my teens with Stu! My son really looked forward to all his lessons and was well prepared for his test after only 2-3 months. Again, Stu was very helpful fitting around my son’s school timetable and sporting commitments and giving him huge confidence and competence behind the wheel. Many thanks! Will continue to recommend :)

Best instructor

I had the privilege of having Tom as my driving instructor, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very first lesson to the moment I passed my driving test, Tom was a true professional and an incredible teacher.

What sets Tom apart is his patience and his ability to create a calm and comfortable learning environment. He never made me feel rushed or pressured, even when I made mistakes. Instead, he used each mistake as an opportunity for learning and improvement. Tom's guidance and feedback were always constructive and tailored to my specific needs, which helped boost my confidence behind the wheel.

Tom's knowledge of driving and the rules of the road is exceptional. He made sure I understood not only how to operate a vehicle but also the importance of defensive driving and road safety. His attention to detail and commitment to thorough preparation ensured that I felt fully prepared for my test.

Beyond his expertise, Tom's friendly and personable nature made every lesson enjoyable. He has a knack for putting his students at ease, which is so important during what can be a nerve-wracking process.

Thanks to Tom's excellent instruction, I passed my driving test with flying colors. I couldn't be more grateful for his guidance and support throughout this journey. If you're looking for a driving instructor who is not only highly skilled but also patient, understanding, and genuinely cares about your success, Tom is the one you should choose. I can't recommend him enough! Thank you, Tom, for helping me become a confident and responsible driver.
