Clive is an excellent teacher. He demonstrates a high level of competence, he is calm, generous and a pleasure to learn with. I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic instructor
Fantastic instructor, Saba. She really made me feel at ease. Helped me fully understand the Highway Code and prepared me for my practical test. I would highly recommend Tuga driving school and their instructor Saba.
Passes my test with Saba
I just passed my driving test and I'm sooo excited. I started my lessons last year with Saba, but it kept getting delayed due to Covid 19. Saba made learning how to drive so much easy and fun. I was always looking forward to the lessons. She's an excellent and very patient teacher. She kept reassuring me that I could do it and I did. I would recommend her to anyone.
I had 2 lessons with Clive and I passed 1st time. I heard about Clive from my partner whose daughter is currently taking lessons witb Clive. I read the reviews and got signed for lessons and passed

Clive at Tuga driving school was absolutely amazing,look no further if you’re looking to get a first time pass.
Clive provided me with great knowledge and put all of the information and manoeuvres over to me in a way to ensure I absorbed them properly the first time around and at the end of every lesson he would take the time to speak with you just to add that personal touch to the lesson as well.
His calm manner and thorough teaching standard made me feel like I was in great hands from start to finish right up until test date!
Look no further than Clive at Tuga if you want to get the job done correctly and properly the first time around !
Clive - Top bloke, top instructor, first time pass
Thanks to Clive I passed my driving test last week. He also helped my wife pass the week before!! Clive is patient, knowledgeable and gives you calm and confidence in the car. To top this all off he's a nice chap and good chat so the lessons are fun. I honestly can not recommend his services enough. BRILLIANT.
I highly recommend Tuga Driving School. Saba is just great.
I'm so happy I found a driving instructor like Saba! I had an european driving licence and had a lot of anxieties about driving in UK. I had refresher lessons with Saba who was extremely patient, understanding and a great company to be with. After every lesson I felt like I'm progressing quickly. She helped me to be a confident driver. I highly recommend Tuga Driving School.
Great experience !
I highly recommend learning how to drive with Saba, she is very patient and attentive - with great attention to detail. She made me feel extremely comfortable and very confident from our first lesson. She went above and beyond to tailor to all of my needs. She made lessons so enjoyable. Saba helped me get an earlier test date and I passed my practical test first time with less than 20hrs of lessons! I did not feel rushed I just felt very confident. Thank you Saba, I could not have done it without you!
CLIVE BROUGHT IT HOME
CLIVE BROUGHT IT HOME! Best driving instructor in the mitcham area 100%
Was very helpful and patient. Also helped me get a test super quick.
Clive is the best. Highly recommend!
Taking him out for some colombian food next weekend, I know he loves it! Truly deserves it too
Clive is an exceptional instructor…
Clive is an exceptional instructor who’s friendly and warm personality makes it easy to feel comfortable as a first time driver. He is really good at explaining driving manoeuvres in a way that’s easy to understand and often adapted the way he taught things to suit my learning style. He builds your confidence as well as your driving ability to make sure you perform your best on the test. If you’re an anxious driver he is the one for you.
Was recommended by Friend and passed first time with Clive
Clive is the number 1 instructor around the Mitcham area. I was referred by my friend who passed first time, and within a week, I also passed. He was very helpful and I felt very prepared and confident heading into the test.

Clive is an exceptionally good driving instructor! He’s much better than my previous instructor who I failed with, and really helped me to pass first time with him!
Clive is so good because he’s very skilled and knowledgable, and made me understand manoeuvres like bay parks that I didnt understand even after driving for 50 hours with another inspector. He was confident and clear with his directions, which made learning really easy.
Clive is also such a people person, which really helps! He’s really funny, nice and patient to drive with which is really important for the learning experience and made me love driving!
I truly can’t see how anyone could be a better instructor, Clive is so good! 12/10, I really highly recommend!

Got recommended by Ilyas Ashir who passed 2 days ago first time and I’ve just passed first time with Clive honestly he’s amazing couldn’t have asked for a better instructor !!!!! 😁😁😁

I got told about Clive by my friend who passed first time and before I went to Clive I failed with another instructor and today I just passed my exam with Clive bare in mind I was meant to do 12 hours with him and only managed to do 8 hours so he had to refund me for 4 hours he offered me a very positive approach to my exam and gave me confidence and definitely the best instructor I have had and I would highly recommend him and also Clive took me to tolworth bare in mind I didn’t do a single lesson in tolworth and I passed first time not even knowing the area this shows how much he improved my driving, safety and general awareness as well.

I would highly recommend Clive as a driving instructor - he taught my son to drive in a way that has built his confidence and made him into a highly competent driver. My son not only passed his test with flying colours - I also feel very safe about him going out on the road on his own afterwards - always a worry for a mother! Clive is patient and calm and extremely knowledgeable -- you won't find a better instructor!
Pass first time and enjoy the journey!
If you want to enjoy your driving lessons, be treated like an adult, and pass your test quickly & first time - Clive is your guy! Clive made me feel comfortable and confident in the car from our first lesson. Instead of pulling you up on everything you do "wrong", he corrects them as you go along without you noticing which makes you a better driver whilst maitaining your confidence. Get signed up for his lessons asap - he is in demand!

Clive was a great instructor the entire time I was with him, not only that but he also helped me to get a test super quick which allowed me to stay fresh and pass!
I have just passed my driving test…
I have just passed my driving test first time after 35 hours of lessons with Clive - I would certainly recommend him as a teacher if you want to pass quickly, he's a very friendly guy who's clearly enthusiastic about what he does and his results speak for themselves. I do have to note that he can be a little disorganised at times - he did not write down all of the dates he assigned to me, which led on one occasion to him double-booking me, and often tried to change lesson times last minute despite having been told already that I would be unavailable. I would also advise prospective students to book a driving test well in advance before starting lessons - one of Clive's colleagues block books any driving tests released and they sell them on to their students for £60 each on top of the standard test fee, which is obviously not affordable for everyone when already paying £28+ an hour for lessons.

Great First Impression
Just had my first driving lesson with Clive and the reviews I've been reading about him are true. He is a great instructor and in the first lesson already boosted my confidence behind the wheels. Looking forward to learning more from him and hopefully passing my test.
Got my first time pass with CLIVE!
Got my first time pass with Clive!! I can’t recommend this instructor enough: super patient, great explanation behind everything and confident. When I first booked my lessons, I hadn’t even passed my theory, but Clive planned my driving lessons and organised my practical in a way which made up the process so much quicker - I had my theory on 10th May and practical on 11th - where I passed both. After lockdown eased in April, Clive had called to ensure I had all my 40 hours booked in advance to ensure maximum progress. The way of teaching didn’t feel like it was strict, but very friendly since day one rather than a teacher-student approach that can add fear to learners very easily, especially when new to the roads and driving itself. This made it super easy to get through mistakes and communicating my weaknesses. With this, I had requested to do my practical test with music since I noticed I drive better in comparison to no music, this was a real life scenario since a lot of drivers drive with music - Clive immediately emailed to find out if this was possible - which it was - so I had the opportunity to take my test with music. The area where my test was held (Norbury) was also new to me, but it was made extremely easy to learn everything from speed limits and location to roundabouts and meet situations - through being completely consistent with booking lessons and staying committed to the learners requirements too. He started his lessons at 5am so that we could get an opportunity on traffic-free roads along with late lessons at 8pm too. 100% recommend!!!
My experience was second to none
My experience was second to none. Clive was my Instructer and I had 10 hours of lessons and passed first time and also Clive got me breakfast before my test. Clive is a good instructor.
