Teendrive Driving School Sunderland

Fantastic experience: Excellent company. Purchased a driving lesson for a 14 year old and they absolutely loved it. The session was really well organised and the communication beforehand was perfect. Highly recommended this company, it is a great gift for teenagers.

Fantastic experience: It was my 16 year old daughters first time behind the wheel. Purchased lesson for a birthday gift. She was a little nervous not knowing what to expect but her instructor was Friendly, patient and experienced. Reassured her every step of the way. I would highly recommend Teendrive.

Fantastic experience: Really impressed with the organisation and helpfulness of the service from the moment I ordered the gift card for my daughter. Craig has been extremely helpful. Once I had booked the date it was great to get good detailed instructions of where to be and when , and really reassuring that I got a text message the night before with the name and contact name of the person who was running the session. My daughter had a great time, it has been a fab introduction to driving for her! Thanks so much.

Fantastic experience: The absolute best , passed in just 5 months due to Michael’s expertise! Great company !

Fantastic experience: Wow. Don’t know what to say. I desperately needed an instructor and called Teen Driving in an absolute panic. I work abroad and had a finite amount of time in which to learn / take my test. I spoke with Craig and he booked in lessons for me, and immediately took me from a beginner to intermediate within a week. He had an amazing positive attitude and taught me the skills and gave me the confidence to feel I could shortly take my test. Within about 20-25 hours I took my test and passed with 4 minors, I couldn’t be happier and would recommend him / teen drive to anyone. I couldn’t be there without them. So happy and am recommending him to anyone who is wanting to learn. Thank you so much for all your help.

Fantastic experience: First lesson and Ben loved it, instructor was great and friendly.

Fantastic experience: My son absolutely loved it! Craig and Les made my son feel comfortable from the minute getting there. My son also asked to have the same instructor on his next drive as he felt comfortable with him and they said that’s not a problem!

Fantastic experience: Excellent morning, well organised and well worth the price, my son really enjoyed it and gained great info before starting his driving lessons. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Dan, great instructor, patient, understanding and supported me throughout. Changed my lesson day/time to fit in with new job which meant I could continue with him and not look for new instructor. Thank you thank you

Fantastic experience: ****Ref: Nick Watson @ TeenDrive**** Well done, Olivia D. At 17 years and 4 months, passed your driving test, first attempt, with zero minors. What an achievement! A massive thanks to Nick Watson, who I strongly recommend as a driving instructor: From the moment I met Nick, I was confident he knew what he was doing. How did I work this out? Well, he taught Olivia, in her first lesson, how to use the steering wheel 'efficiently'. Now, that might sound like common sense, but I'm not so sure every instructor teaches this. Nick kept me informed of Olivia's progress throughout, highlighting things for me to look out for when she was driving her mam's car. Olivia's standard of driving advanced quickly, very much attributable to Nick's observations/advice/suggestions. He is, quite simply, the consummate professional. On the day of Olivia's test, Nick calmed her nerves and gave her the confidence she needed to pass, first attempt, with zero minors. I like the sound of that, so I'll say it again.... pass, first attempt, with zero minors. Outstanding! Olivia is one very happy daughter.

Fantastic experience: Bought this for a birthday gift for our 14 year old. Booking proceeds so easy, communication with the company was great.

Fantastic experience: From start to finish everyone from Teendrive that we have spoken with have been great! From the initial enquiry with Craig, he found out what we required and put us in touch with one of the instructors-Kelly. We arranged with Kelly directly when my daughter could have lessons and she was great at fitting her in around her college course. Kelly was amazing. Super patient and calm, she taught Chloe, starting with the basics and gave her confidence to pass her test. Kelly is an asset to the Teendrive team and we would have no hesitation in recommending this driving team to anyone looking for an instructor! We will be using them again in a few years when our other daughter wants to learn!!

Fantastic experience: I was placed with Tony as my instructor when I enquired about some automatic driving lessons. Craig contacted me almost instantly to discuss my experience and help me find what I needed to get through my test. Tony is an asset to Teendrive and I would recommend him highly! He really knows what he's doing and has always been constructive with feedback. He was fair and honest when it came to how many hours of driving I would need to be test ready and I passed with flying colours thanks to his teaching. Thankyou Tony!!

Fantastic experience: I contacted Teen Drive enquiring about driving lessons for the first time keen to get on the roads ASAP. Craig promptly responded and thankfully placed me with Tony. Tony’s knowledge and teaching ability is outstanding not forgetting his decent banter making you feel at ease each lesson. 4 months later I passed both theory and practical first time and feel comfortable on the roads. I can’t recommend Tony, Craig and Teen Drive enough.

Fantastic experience: My son loved his first driving experience with Teendrive. He feels more confident and cannot wait for his next lesson. Thank you Teendrive!

Fantastic experience: My daughter absolutley loved it. She struggles with confidence but Gary put her at ease and was brilliant. She cannot wait for her next one

Fantastic experience: Could not recommended enough, i had Tony and he was amazing could not fault him one bit. All lessons were amazing and made me feel comfortable to drive. Without Teen drive i definitely would not of passed first time with only 20 hours of learning!!!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Teendrive enough, they are a great driving school. Paul is an amazing instructor and was flexible around my full time job. Before my actual test, I was put in for a mock test which really helped me prepare and work on feedback for my upcoming test. I have just passed with only 3 minors. All lessons were enjoyable, couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Learning from zero driving knowledge was made easy with this driving school. With great instructor guidance and perseverance I managed to come out a confident road-ready driver. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best instructors at Teendrive. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Helped me past first time

The lessons I received were very much enjoyable and i believe you will get a great outcome with your driving experience if you choose Teendrive m.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with Teendrive, highly recommended my 17 year old son passed first time thanks to Gill’s expertise and support. A big thank you to Teendrive.

Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful experience with teen drive from start to passing my test. With a response the same day when enquiring about lessons. As someone how had started learning with an instructor from a different company in a different area and had a gap in driving for 2 years. Craig did an excellent job in helping me build back up my confidence and address gaps in my driving skills. Craig was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the test routes in Sunderland making sure that I was confidant when driving some of the trickier parts of the tests. Before taking my test, we did a few mock tests which helped me get used to the format of the test and build my confidence so there would be no superiuses on test day. Craig always turned up to my lessons on time and if he did have to cancel a lesson, he would also give plenty of notice and reschedule it to a convent time often in the same week. So never missed lessons time. Overall, my experience with Teen Drive has been excellent. Would defiantly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time with teen drive thanks to my instructor Nick who was a great instructor and was very helpful from the start. Loved my lessons.

Fantastic experience: I enquired back in July 2023 about taking lessons in a quick manner wanting to start the following week with the idea of passing before the new year. I called Teendrive and the owner Craig picked up the phone and was both very welcoming and helpful when explaining what I wanted etc. I then received a message from an instructor (Paul) at Teendrive who I can't recommend any more. From having no experience in the drivers seat to passing first time this morning. Paul was welcoming, friendly and patient from hour one and a cracking guy overall with a perfect mix of both learning and conversation. I would thoroughly recommend Teendrive and Paul especially to anyone wanting to learn to drive. When learning with Teendrive you are also in a position where you can carry out a mock test with an ex examiner. As a learner, this was a great experience that gave me great confidence before entering the test day. Overall, this was a very smooth process with lessons being frequent and you would never get cancelled on at the last minute. Thank you Paul/Teendrive, you were amazing.

Fantastic experience: This was our granddaughter's 16 birthday present and she thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We were all pleasantly surprised how well she was looked after. The staff were good and the location was ideal for novice drivers. Coming again when possible.

Fantastic experience: We got this for our daughters 16th birthday surprise. The set up was fantastic as were the instructor's our daughter wants to come back, she really enjoyed it. Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and helpful staff. My son loved it carnt wait to start driving properly now. He never stopped talking about it all the way home instructor made him feel at ease and confident. Would highly recommend Thanks

Fantastic experience: Jessica my daughter enjoyed her 1st driving lesson with katelyn and can’t wait to do more .thankyou very much

Fantastic experience: My son really enjoyed his first lesson. They even let my other son and his girlfriend have a go for free. Brilliant experience for young drivers.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional instruction, great patience and a calm manner with my twin sons. Both had had driving lesssons before but found the instruction with Paul from Teen Drive to be much more enjoyable. They looked forward to lessons and made amazing progress. They were VERY well prepared for test and even had the opportunity to practise with a mock examiner beforehand. Between the two of them on test day, they only scored 3 minor faults. Can’t thank Teen Drive enough. From my first conversation with Craig, I knew they would be in good hands and having Paul as the instructor was the icing on the cake. Could not recommend highly enough. Thanks very much to Craig and Paul from all of us.

Fantastic experience: It was my son’s first teen driving lesson and he loved it. He was with Darren, who he thought was really helpful and informative. My son wasn’t sure what to expect and Darren put him at ease. The instructor took a couple of minutes out at the end of the lesson to let use know how my son had got on. He can't wait for his next lesson, thank you.

Fantastic experience: Craig, Teen Driving, has been a fabulous instructor. We were given 2 weeks notice that the previous instructor from another driving school was retiring. Craig stepped in and saved the day. Harrison passed with just 1 minor! Thank you for everything you have done.

Fantastic experience: My son Lewis has really enjoyed his lesson.gave him a massive confidence boost as to what he can expect when taking lessons out on the road ,has a few more booked.great idea,well done to Craig and team. Jeff robinson

Fantastic experience: Took my 16 year old son for his first lesson last week. He really enjoyed it. The instructor put him at ease and he was away driving within a few minutes! He was even reverse parking within the hour lesson! Really good setup and he is looking forward to further lessons next year.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend my instructor Anthony enough. A very highly skilled, amazing and supportive driving instructor. Anthony helped calm my nerves throughout the lessons until the day of the test where I passed with no faults, and all thanks to Anthony! Such a good experience with Teendrive with a driving test booked as fast as two weeks after the last lesson, couldn't expect better.

Fantastic experience: A really good teacher. explains things well, takes his time and pays attention to feedback/ opinions/ discussion. Clearly has a plan and is knowledgeable about routes and how to progresses a learner to test ready. Would recommend to a friend/ family member 100%

Fantastic experience: We bought the voucher for our grandson 14 teen birthday present. He enjoyed it so much that he would like it for his next birthday as well. The instructor was very encouraging which helped him relax and made it a enjoyable experience he got up to 27 miles an hour which my grandson was very impressed

Fantastic experience: Deciding to start my lessons up again at the age of 40 was quite daunting, however I didn’t need to worry. Paul is such a calm, reassuring and nice person. He made me feel at ease, really boosted my confidence, and put up with my constant chatter. I passed my test 2 days ago and I can’t thank Paul enough for my new found freedom!

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time this morning with only 3 minors! Have had a great experience with Teendrive. Would absolutely recommend Dean to any new learner drivers, he has been a great instructor and communication has always been clear and effective. Thanks so much.

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving school. James was a great instructor which helped myself and partner pass within 3 month of learning!

Fantastic experience: My son loved his 1st driving lesson, he grew in confidence throughout the hour. He even reverse parked!! We will be booking another lesson soon.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience, very professional and well organised and all the staff very friendly and approachable. The instructor put my son at ease and made him feel safe and confident for his first ever driving experience. Thanks very much , would definitely 100% recommend for any teenager wanting to give driving a go in a safe and supportive environment.
