Nayland Driving School Reviews 

I had a lot of self doubt when it comes to driving but Andy was a constant reassurance of my ability and really made me feel comfortable. Andy was very enthusiatic and made driving super easy to understand. I took my test and passed first time with only 1 minor!

Overall it was a great experience. I looked foward to every lesson and it was a great pleasure to have met him. Thanks Andy.

I'm so happy I found Andy after trying 2 other instructors from different driving schools. He was my perfect match :) I think it is very important how an instructor makes you feel while learning to drive, as the difference was enormous to me. He managed to give me the confidence and comfort I needed in only a couple of days , which others couldn't give me after almost a year.. Andy has a very calm but very clear approach, which included some fun too. I genuinely looked forward to every lesson and quite even sad it's finished now. Thanks to Andy I passed my test first time with 0 minors!

I was taught to drive by Andy Orlowski. He was impeccable, I am not local to the area and so he took the time to hear my concerns about the new road system. He took my character in his stride and allowed me to learn in my own way and at my own pace. Our lessons were light hearted and jovial. On the occasion I did get frustrated or upset having made an error he was quickly able to calm and comfort me and command the situation in a supportive manner. He also worked with my challenging and forever changing schedule so that I still felt prioritised by him.

On the morning of my test (first and only I might add), he let me play my music to stay relaxed and didn't pressure the situation. He beamed when I passed and I could genuinely see that he cared so much about the outcome of his students.

I simply can't fault Andy; absolute legend :)

Great instructor. Went above and beyond to teach me to drive. Always kept a calm and welcoming environment and a great teacher.

He is the reason I passed first time because he was clear and supportive every lesson we had. I really enjoyed learning with and we had a laugh. Would recommend to anyone wanting to pass as quickly as possible.

Andy Orlowski taught me everything I needed to know to pass my test in a calm, supportive and enjoyable manner. He is everything you could want from a driving instructor and more. I will be recommending him to anyone I know in need of driving instruction.

I just passed my driving test FIRST TIME thanks to Andy!! I would have never been able to do it without him. I started with him as a complete beginner and he’s such a lovely person. He’s very patient and very helpful. I’m lucky to have learnt from Andy! I wish him nothing but the best.

Lessons were very good and useful. Andy my instructor was very good at what he does and so are the rest of the nayland driving school. Overall I would chose them again if I was going to redo my lessons. I would recommend them to anyone nearby nayland and further a field. Once it came to test day I passed with 0 faults thanks to these guys.

My driving instructor Sally was the best I could’ve asked for! She was so kind and when I was struggling she was always helpful and understanding. I am very lucky to have learnt from her and this company :)

I had my driving lessons with Paul Bellehewe and he was a great instructor. Very calm and collected and helped me to overcome my driving doubts. I went from being so nervous to passing my test with 4 minors. I would recommend him!

I passed my test first time thanks to Andy Orlowski! I was a very nervous beginner but he was extremely patient and confidence-building. He made the process of learning to drive actually really fun and logical - after each lesson he would make me feel proud of myself, thanks Andy :)

I have had a great experience with Andy. He had great local knowledge of Colchester and prepared me very well with encouraging instruction and we covered many possible test routes. With his help I passed my test first time.

I had Sally as an instructor and she met my every needs! She made sure I understood what she was teaching me and made sure I was confident in what I was doing. She always listened to all of my worry’s and adapted every lesson to what I wanted or what she thought I needed to work on. I found Sally easy to talk to and easy to express my worry’s to which really helped.
I passed today with 0 minors thanks to Sally, she helped make the whole experience more enjoyable.

I passed my driving test last week (first time) thanks to Paul B. From our first lesson he was friendly and very patient. Excellent teacher who managed to free me from the fear of driving after a bad experience with my previous instructor.

Had good set of driving lessons with Andy Orlowski. I was up in Colchester and needed to brush up on my driving after having had a long break during Covid and he built up my confidence again and taught me a lot of extra things in a very short space of time. His car is also the best I have learnt in.

I passed my driving test today and I cannot thank Nathan Curry, my driving instructor, enough for that. Not only is he the best instructor I have known ( and I speak from experience) but also the most polite and a true professional. He has a positive, patient and nurturing style of teaching which is very helpful if one is of a nervous disposition like me and is new to driving in this country. And if all of the above qualities were not enough, he also managed a personal emergency (along with contingency plans in place) to be with me on my test day!

I have never felt more confident with my driving and cannot recommend him enough.
A big Thank You, Nathan! And all the very best..

I lucked out and got Paul as my instructor! He's a brilliant teacher: patient, friendly & clear. We always went at a pace that I felt comfortable with and Paul would always accommodate if there was something I wanted to go over. We also had a good laugh on our drives which helped make me feel comfortable.

I thoroughly enjoyed every lesson and, thanks to Paul, I passed my test :) thank you Paul!!

I had Andy as my instructor and he was amazing. Really down to earth he explained everything in great deal and made it fun to drive. Absolutely no faults with him at all and would recommend to anyone and everyone wanting to learn to drive

Andy is a fantastic driving instructor. I was initially quite nervous about driving, but Andy put me at ease and helped me gain confidence. Not only did Andy teach me the mechanics of driving, but also how to make the right decisions on the road and trust my own ability. I would highly recommend for anyone new to driving or anyone who hasn't been confident in their driving with a previous instructor or since passing their test.

Best driving instructor there is! Passed me first time in 6 months from beginner with 3 minors. Great attitude and amazing patience and a lovely woman in general. Had amazing confidence in me even from the get go when I was stalling left right and centre haha. No bad words to say about her honestly.

Thank you again Janette!!!
