Anas has been a fantastic instructor!

Anas has been a fantastic instructor. For the last 7 months he has been patient and supportive with my learning. He put my needs and worries first and spent time coaching me through areas I didn't feel confident in. I am happy to have been paired with Anas!

Anas was a very good instructor

Anas was a very good instructor. His lessons were clear and it helped me improve after each lesson. Anas was very calm in his approach and teaching which allowed me to stay calm and built my confidence.

I had Ausaf as my instructor and honestly he was the best most patient instructor ever doing manoeuvres with me over and over till I got it right and making time for my multiple lessons a week with a busy schedule. The absolute best! Now I passed first time with only 3 minors :)

I had ray as my driving instructor & he was amazing! He always remain calm & never got annoyed if he had too show me something he’d shown me already, definitely wouldn’t have passed without him. Had a different instructor with a different company before him & im so grateful I changed, would recommend him too anyone!

Avoid this driving school

My experience with this driving school was incredibly disappointing. The instructor failed to show up for two consecutive lessons that I had booked, leaving me frustrated and wasting my time. When I tried to reschedule, I was told I’d have to wait until after Christmas.

After the holidays, I finally managed to get in touch again, only to be told that the instructor I initially wanted only teaches automatic, which wasn’t communicated upfront. I requested a one-hour lesson to begin with so I could get a feel for the instructor and ensure I was comfortable, but I was told they could only offer a two-hour lesson on my chosen day. This made no sense and gave the impression they’re more interested in making money than in genuinely helping people learn to drive.

The lack of communication, professionalism, and consideration for students’ needs makes it clear that this school does not prioritize its clients. I strongly recommend avoiding this driving school and seeking a more reliable and student-focused alternative. My experience with this driving school was incredibly disappointing.

I highly recommend ADDY as a driving instructor. He is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable but also very humble and patient. His teaching methods are clear, effective, He creates a comfortable and stress-free learning environment, which made a huge difference for me. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test and feel like a safe, capable driver. If you’re looking for a top-notch instructor, he’s the one

Excellent

Passed my driving test 1st time with 2 minors. My driving instructor was Gary and he was very thorough and was able to build my confidence up from very little. He was very patient and was able to address manoeuvres I struggled with by giving them acronyms or tricks on where to look (using mirrors). Couldn't recommend them enough!

Today

Today, I've passed my driving test, and I couldn't be happier with my experience at Apex Driving School, especially with my instructor, Sara. From the very first lesson, Sara was incredibly patient and thorough in explaining every detail. Her clear instructions, valuable tips, and calm approach made the entire learning process smooth and enjoyable.

Beyond her exceptional teaching skills, Sara is an amazing person—easy to chat with and someone who truly helps build your confidence behind the wheel. I was so comfortable with her that I personally requested her to accompany me during my driving test, and having her there gave me the extra boost of confidence I needed to succeed.

Thank you to Apex Driving School for pairing me with such an outstanding instructor. Sara made this journey an unforgettable and positive experience. Highly recommend both Sara and Apex Driving School for anyone looking to learn how to drive!

First time pass

I passed my test first time yesterday with Sam from Apex driving school. I was a very nervous driver and when I started driving I found it hard to believe I would ever be able to pass my test but Sam was supportive and patient and encouraged me to develop my understanding of the road and build confidence as a driver. He helped me recognise my strengths as well as target my areas for improvement. I am beyond grateful to Sam for his support at getting me to this point and I would highly recommend Apex for anyone learning to drive.

My son had driving lessons with Glen for a few months and didn’t have a car to practice on at home so only had his lessons. He passed and Glens way of tutoring was exceptional as my son has ASD and Dyslexia and yet was able to relax enough with Glen. He is one happy student. I would highly recommend Apex driving to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Driving with Glen

I recently completed my driving lessons with Glen from Apex Driving School, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, my experience was nothing short of fantastic.

Glen is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He tailored each lesson to my individual needs, ensuring that I felt confident and prepared with everything necessary for the test. His expert guidance and constructive feedback allowed me to pass first time!!
