Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a huge Thankyou to both Poets corner, especially my instructor Mohammed Basir. He was patient, supportive and encouraging and I finally passed my test yesterday September 10th!! At 54yrs old I’m proof it’s never too late. Thanks again Mohammed, have already recommended you to a couple of people!!
Negative experience: I did lessons with PAUL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY , he is not with the company and is self employed which I found out later after I experienced really bad lesson with him , this guy was always on his phone and is so rude and unprofessional as he always shouts at you. He wasn’t transparent with payment as he always demanded cash , when it came to lesson HE WAS SO BAD at explaining things and when I asked what he meant he didn’t have any other approach or other ways to explain things , he would tell u one thing and then next lesson say something else which always confused me and also he didn’t take anything seriously as he was self employed he can do whatever he wants , please don’t waste ur time and money with this instructor like I did because it took me 10 hours just to learn 1st 2nd gear but as soon as I got a new instructor I saw a massive difference in my progress of driving , I complained to the company and they were very useless saying he doesn’t work for them but they have him on the company website confusing customers.
Fantastic experience: Great experience getting in contact with an instructor. Terry Holland was great at gauging my skill level and targeting areas to improve on to allow me to pass first time. Happy with the results.

After a few lessons Eddie's sheer patience, professionalism and driving know how made me feel much more confident in myself and my driving skills. I thoroughly looked forward to my lessons. Eddie was flexible with times always punctual and always got in touch if need be. Eddie's lessons got me through my driving test and I cannot thank him and Poets Corner enough.

Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test first time with Wayne Chandler. I was able to start driving with him with very short notice and he has been brilliant! The company ensures you are ready for your test with easy access help on their website and I would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with no faults today. I recommend Leon, he’s been with me for a while and was always patient and understanding. He was also nice even with silly mistakes etc I would do. Always added a bit of humour to things. Lessons with Leon would always be structured and focused on things we needed to focus on but would sometimes give me the option of what I wanted to do so I could go over certain topics I was rusty on. He’s a great guy and a really good instructor, I 100% recommend him to anyone starting to drive. Thank you
Negative experience: I have been here with 2 instructors now and both times have given me the run around. You cannot ask questions or expess how you feel due to the miss communication of the instructor otherwise you'll be declined from any further lessons.
I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our driving instructor as we pride ourselves on being one of the best schools in town. I asked our instructor to send me all the screenshots of his text messages with you and in all his texts he has tried to be helpful in trying to find you an alternative slot with him. I can see you asked to change a lesson due to a school meeting for your daughter and our instructor offered you another option which you couldn't do and he then asked when would you be free that week and he managed to sort you a lesson for the Wednesday instead. The following week you asked to cancel your lesson due to a chest infection which of course was not our instructor's fault it was just unfortunate. Unfortunately the following week our instructor had an emergency dental appointment but still offered you another option for the Friday that week as he knew you are normally free that day. Unfortunately you weren't so he said he would see you on the following Thursday as normal for your regular lesson but you had booked your theory for that day and couldn't do it. (Again not our instructor's fault) Our instructor then said he could 'probably' do Wednesday instead at 1.30pm but the following morning (6 days before the lesson) our instructor recognised he'd made an error as he'd already booked a new pupil in for that time and contacted you promptly and offered you another option but unfortunately you couldn't do that. He then asked when you were you free so he could see if he could swap a pupil to accommodate you. He asked a couple of pupils but had no joy in managing to create a space for you but he did try his best. He was always free for your regular slot for that week but you had to change it because of your theory test that you had booked, so again this was not our instructor's fault. Our instructor accepts that he initially made a mistake in offering you a lesson before checking his diary but he tried to rectify this 6 days in advance which I feel is totally acceptable. It would have been wrong for him to cancel the new pupil as they had booked that slot first. Our instructor has always tried his best to accommodate you and even after he explained that the other pupil was already booked on the time he initially offered you when you couldn't do your normal weekly lesson due to your theory, you still didn't accept it and said he pushed you out. This was not the case and this is why our instructor felt it was best that you found another instructor as you were clearly not happy with him even though he always tried his best to help you. We hope you find a suitable instructor soon and we wish you the best of luck with your driving. Regards, Steve Poets Corner S.O.M. www.poetscorner-ds.com

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of passing my driving test on the second attempt with Poets Corner Driving School, under the expert guidance of Derek, my driving instructor. From the moment I stepped into the car, Derek's warm demeanor and sense of humor immediately put me at ease. His ability to blend professionalism with a friendly approach was truly commendable. Throughout my lessons, Derek demonstrated exceptional patience and understanding, tailoring each session to address my specific areas of improvement. His encouragement and positive reinforcement significantly boosted my confidence behind the wheel, which ultimately contributed to my success on test day. One aspect that stood out during my experience with Poets Corner Driving School was Derek's emphasis on safe driving practices. Not only did he prepare me for the practical aspects of the test, but he also instilled in me a deep understanding of road safety and responsibility as a new driver. Overall, I cannot recommend Poets Corner Driving School and Derek highly enough. His dedication, expertise, and unique ability to make learning enjoyable have undoubtedly shaped me into a more confident and capable driver. If you're looking for a driving instructor who goes above and beyond to ensure your success, look no further than Poets Corner Driving School.
