Fantastic experience: Had some automatic lessons with Kindi in his car, it was a great experience. He was always punctual, car was always very tidy and clean. Lessons were great; he taught in a clear and efficient manner. He was also understanding and patient, and all around a great instructor. Passed my test on the first attempt with no faults. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn/improve their driving skills.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Vince enough as an instructor. Not only did I pass first time, but we went everywhere I wanted to go so I felt confident driving all over Cardiff. Vince was patient and calming at every stage of my driving journey. I wish he could sit next to me forever! He gave me so much confidence and made me at ease, I can drive anywhere now!!

Fantastic experience: I want to say a massive thank you to Vince! I would not have been able to pass my test without him. He is calm, patient and understanding. He allowed me the time needed to overcome my anxiety when it comes to driving!! What a year it’s been but I would not be where I am today without his help! Would 100% recommend and honestly don’t know how I’m going to cope driving without him next to me

Ellis 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Jim enough as a driving instructor! From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease with his calm and encouraging teaching style. His ability to clearly explain techniques and correct mistakes without making you feel overwhelmed is outstanding. Jim is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always punctual. He tailored each lesson to my needs, helping me build confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to his expert guidance, I passed my test first time! If you’re looking for a professional and friendly instructor who genuinely cares about your success, Jim is the perfect choice. Thanks, Jim, for making learning to driving such a positive experience!

Ben Evans 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Kaniwar was an amazing instructor. Always made time to suit me and pushed me the correct amount for me to be able to feel comfortable and pass. He is not a time waster and as soon as he feels you’re ready asks you to book your test. Couldn’t rate him high enough, very highly recommended.

Josh Davies 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I'm thrilled to say that I passed my driving test on the first try today all thanks to my amazing instructor Andrew Chick. His ability to make lessons enjoyable whilst also keeping them challenging really helped my confidence as a driver, I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Lauren Arlott 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Joanne padmore. Absolutely amazing instructor, helped me so much with my confidence and my anxiety. Felt at ease at all times and very grateful for her help to get me on the road!

Anuj Garg 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Streewise highly enough and specially my instructor Ibrahim! Thanks to his patient and thorough guidance, I passed my driving test on the first try. From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, tailoring the lessons to my specific needs and learning pace. His clear explanations of even the most challenging manoeuvres made everything feel manageable, and his calm demeanour turned stressful moments into valuable learning experiences. He didn’t just teach me how to pass the test but ensured I became a safe and responsible driver. If you're looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about their students' success, look no further than Ibrahim. Passing first time wouldn’t have been possible without his expertise and support. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Passed first with Neil. A brilliant and experienced driving instructor who I’d say is particularly experienced if you’re a nervous character and particularly apprehensive about driving.

Katy Williams 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing! I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Vicky, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. From the very first lesson, she made me feel at ease with her calm and patient approach. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things clearly, which really helped me build my confidence behind the wheel after being so anxious! I passed my driving test after a big gap with Vicky. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, supportive, and professional driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Ibrahim has given me consistant lessons for the past few months and he is an extremely precise, considerate, thoughtful and observant teacher who had even given extra time over the weekends when he doesnt normally work them to ensure that I am ready for my exam. I passed with 1 minor today and owe it all to him! Thank you streetwise!!!

Tasmia M 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Vince for helping me on my driving journey!! He supported and believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. His expertise and talent brought out the best in me and despite learning the basics with a different instructor, he eased me back into driving after a break and was very patient with me. I highly recommend Vince and feel so grateful for passing.

Harry E 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Salah has taken me from being a nervous driver to someone that is becoming increasingly confident behind the wheel. We have made good progress, whilst also at a pace I have been comfortable with, and I am very happy with the patience and understanding I have been given as a learner. I have benefited very much from the way we talk things through before, during and after approaching new topics. Looking forward to more lessons!

Danny Campbell 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Currently having a great experience learning to drive with Salah. He’s a patient instructor and is great at explaining the different aspects of driving. I’m looking forward to progressing my skills in the next few months and preparing for my test with him.

Luke Stagg 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've been having lessons with Salah for a few months now and my experience has been excellent. The lessons are well-priced, and Salah has been fantastic in working with me as I get closer to getting qualified! I'd absolutely recommend Streetwise to anyone looking to learn.

Yim-Ha CHOW (Suki) 6 months ago

Negative experience: This is my own experience but not a personal attack to anyone or company. I had a very disappointing experience with my driving instructor. After four lessons, I felt increasingly stressed and frustrated, and I did not see any improvement in my driving skills. His teaching style was not supportive or encouraging. He was often demanding and impatient. Instead of calmly explaining my mistakes, he would frequently raise his voice and criticise. This made it difficult for me to focus on driving, and I felt pressured to keep talking while driving, which was not a safe or effective learning method for me. During the final lesson, his behaviour became particularly distressing. He displayed visible frustration, banging his clipboard on his car, which left me feeling threatened and scared. I was in tears during the lesson, but there was no attempt to address my discomfort or reassure me. Instead, the pressure continued, and I had to stop driving early as I could no longer concentrate. I also raised my memory issues with he, hoping he would be understanding and adapt his teaching style. However, he dismissed my concerns, stating that he had never encountered such an issue in his teaching experience. This lack of empathy and unwillingness to adjust his methods made the lessons even more challenging for me. It’s important to mention that this review is based solely on my personal experience. While other students may have had a positive experience with this company, but the instructor approach did not suit my learning needs, and the lessons left me feeling demoralised and unsupported. I reported this issue, and hope the driving school considers these issues seriously to improve the overall learning experience for future students. PS: I received a feedback as per below, and I’ve captured a photo of it to avoid any deletion of the comment from the driving school. It wasn’t the time to blame the customer when they raised concerns about the instructor. In the first lesson, I explicitly told the instructor my expectations for the lessons, and this was used against me as a basis for accusation. When a problem arises, a professional should not blame the victim but instead reflect on and correct their own faults. I am deeply disappointed by the comment I received, and once again, I am not making any personal attacks; this is based on facts and my actual experience.

Streetwise Driving School

Hi Suki, thank you for reaching out and for also sharing the details of your experience with one of our instructors. We have never received a complaint from any of the instructors students, only positive and complimentary feedback, so am somewhat concerned that you mention this isn’t the case with yourself. We strive to provide the highest standards of customer care at all times and the comments you have raised are not indicative of his teaching methods but how you may adapt where necessary. Our instructor has informed me that you have previously had lessons with another driving school and relayed the same negative response regarding their teaching methods also. We have investigated your complaint thoroughly, the contents of which are duly noted and should any improvements be required to include further training where necessary; these will be implemented immediately. We feel however on this occasion that we have provided you with the correct support and guidance throughout your lessons and wish you the very best with your driving lessons moving forward.

Fantastic experience: A massive thank you my instructor Josh, who helped me pass first time! He is a really knowledgeable instructor who has a fantastic style of teaching. He's really calm and talks you through everything really well. I was a bit of a nervous learner to start with but after a few lessons with Josh my confidence shot up! I doubt I would have passed as quickly if I'd had a different instructor. I can't recommend Josh enough, you couldn't ask for a better instructor!

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test today! Couldn’t have done it without my driving instructor, Ali! He’s an amazing teacher, patient, friendly and supportive! Without his advice and support throughout our lessons, all the way until I leave the waiting room for my test, I wouldn’t have been able to drive with such confidence and pass the test. Thank you so much Ali for your kindness! The best driving instructor ever

My confidence has grown so much, and I know all the small techniques she’s taught me will be useful for years to come. I’d highly recommend Alya and Streetwise to anyone learning to drive in Cardiff - whether you’re just starting out or building your skills, she’s fantastic!

Iman H 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: A massive thank you to Josh Howells for helping me learn to drive. I had come to Josh really nervous in my ability and not that confident. I was able to put my trust in Josh, and even the times where my lessons were on pause, we gently worked up enough practice to sit the test. I passed yesterday and a while ago I couldn't see myself passing and being able to independently drive, but with Josh I did. Thank you Josh, for both teaching me and my brother, I can't thank you enough for helping us build our confidence!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Rob Murphy. I had been on and off driving lessons for years with various instructors and I had no confidence at all. I then started driving with Rob, who is so calm and easy to talk to, he helped me progress and get a lot more confident with my driving and now I have my license !! I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him so I would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a top tier driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Having had 20 hours with a previous instructor, I felt a significant lack of confidence in my driving ability. After taking a break from driving lessons, I decided it was time for a change and found a new instructor through Streetwise. Neil paired me with Pete, and it made all the difference. Pete really built my confidence on the roads and he was incredibly patient. He allowed me to ask questions, express my thinking when making decisions and clear any doubts I had, explaining everything in a way I could easily understand and redirect my thought process to make me a more comfortable competent driver. Thanks to his guidance, I managed to pass my test and now feel comfortable and secure while driving. Thank you, Pete!

Fantastic experience: After 3-4 years of no driving due to covid, I finally passed my test today thanks to my brilliant instructor Andrew Chick! He was very patient with me and really helped with my confidence so that I felt ready to take the test earlier than I had expected. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Thank streetwise for helping me pass first try! I seriously couldn’t have done it without my instructor, Alya Lawrence, who was an extremely helpful teacher and very patient. I definitely recommend streetwise driving school!
