I had only 5 lessons with Jen and passed my exam on my first attempt. It was really short notice when I contacted her due to work commitments, and she was really nice to find times that would suit us... See more

Massive thanks to Des
Started learning with Des and he was very encouraging and got me test ready in less than 35 hours. Very good communication would definitely recommend Elevate to anyone.

I started lessons with Julian 5 weeks ago..
I started lessons with Julian 5 weeks ago with a fear of driving, after lessons with Julian and his support I was able to pass my test first time with ease. I tried multiple other instructors in Nottingham and never made any progress, I was close to giving up due to the anxiety , I wish I had found elevate sooner!!
Elevate best driving school
Had a semi intensive course with Julian and couldn’t wish for a better instructor he makes you feel so calm and relaxed and more like a friend than an instructor I don’t think I would have passed with anyone else
Huge thanks to JULIAN the best…
Huge thanks to JULIAN the best instructor I’ve EVER had so patient, kind and helpful with a great teaching style. He made me feel at ease from the first lesson. Driving lessons was always a vibe and so positive which made everything much more better and each lesson to look forward too, I never thought I would pass my driving lessons but with Julian pushing me forwards and giving positive energy I did. Couldn’t of done my lessons with a better driving company
I had never driven a car before
I had never driven a car before, but I took lessons with Elevate and they went really well and then I have just gone and passed my test and I am really happy
Pick your instructor wisely
From the reviews Elevate has their key instructors that have great reviews and liked by those that had taken lessons with them. This review is not aimed towards Elevate as a whole. However, I do not see much reviews, if any, for Des. Quite an angry individual I’d say. Not sure if it’s short man syndrome but he seems to think it’s ok to talk to his students anyway he wants. Just a warning for anyone who decides to have him as their instructor, be prepared for verbal abuse. I can imagine him being picky with who he decides to talk to disrespectfully. For example, I cannot imagine him taking to a man that he knows would rock his jaw in a disrespectful manner. I believe it’s just the younger ones he likes to talk crap to. Elevate, I know Des has been apart of your company for a long time and has passed many students, however a word needs to be had with him in regards to his angry episodes. I would expect an instructor to have emotional composure. From what I can gather, even those at the test Center are aware of his little angry nature. To say he always covers his mouth when he talks he has a whole lot of unnecessary, moan and groan, insulting comments to say to his students.
Passed my test
Julian really Amazing put me at ease. Making the lesson interactive which was fun. Could have chosen a better instructor.
Elevate is the best driving school
I had driving lessons with Julian and can honestly say he’s the best he’s got a lot off time and patience I never thought I would pass never mind 1st time just want to say thank you to Julian for believing in me and I will definitely be recommend you to everyone who wants driving lessons 😁👊🏻
Great experience
Huge thanks to Jeanette, she’s a fantastic instructor - so patient, kind and helpful with a great teaching style. She made me feel at ease from the first lesson & was very flexible with times & dates of lessons, fitting me in with very short notice.
After 4 weeks of intensive lessons, I passed first time with just 1 minor, which is a testament to Jen and her teaching methods. I’d highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for automatic lessons :)
Great team
Great team, patient and brilliant instructor. Am glad I was introduced to elevate

Mark with the silver Kia Xceed
My driving instructor Mark helped me pass quicker than I would have ever expected, his methods of explaining things were very helpful and he taught me the rules of driving really well which allowed me to last my test first time.
Mark Silver Kia Xceed
I had lessons with Mark in the Silver Kia Xceed. He was so patient and such a genuinely lovely instructor. He went over things multiple times until I was 100% confident and I felt at ease during my lessons. Thanks to him I passed first time and feel confident driving.
I would recommend both Mark and Elevate to anyone wanting to drive!
Mark in the silva Kia xceed
Mark in the silva Kia xceed. Absolutely brilliant couldn’t of ask for better instructor. Makes lessons fun and felt confident as soon as the first lesson had finished. Makes it so easy would recommend to anybody 👍👍
ELEVATE IS THE BEST
Jeanette is by far the best driving instructor, and you are the only one who taught me.
Thank you, ELEVATE, for all the support I received to qualify and get my first-time pass.
My instructor Jean, thank you for your support, encouragement, patience, knowledge, guidance, and friendship, which have proved invaluable. You told me what my weaknesses were. You were extremely thorough and helpful throughout, making sure I was completely confident with everything I was learning each week.
I am so grateful to you and your team.
Love,
Xx
