Fantastic experience: Robert was amazing! I did my test twice previously with a different instructor and failed both times, gave up on driving for a year and finally got back to it around October after finding Robert, only did a few lessons to catch up and recap and I managed to pass yesterday! I didn’t believe in myself anymore to pass and am still in shock, thank you so much Robert ☺️

Fantastic experience: Dar has been great with our kid. As a parent, after reading the entire highway code and watching some YouTube, I have been taking them out for several months in our own car before starting lessons with Dar. After only about 10 hours Dar recommended they put in for test. Very happy so far.

Robert, the driving instructor, a great personality is a wonderful Man who took up training me. The support, guidance and encouragement, he provided is awesome. All the while, he is a multi-tasker, giving me instructions and navigating the directions, Verbal instructions continuously to put me in ease. He has a tailor made mentoring capacity to make a learner to KIS: Keep it simple! All the while, throughout the journey of driving training sessions, he supported: To know where I am going, with a focused approach. It's a life time opportunity to have a great person Mr. Robert who knows the strengths and Values your time of investment. He has a targeted approach for customized training program for all. Rob's training is rigorous, but makes us an enabler to perform better in Driving practical exams. I am in-depth happy for all the couching and mentoring that was provided by him. Robert has been very punctual at time, supportive and a determined person to push us for an extra mile to understand the rules and regulations as per UK driving requirements. He is a very professional, a positive person with knowledge, integrity and able function for learning pupils benefits with diverse abilities. He works like a magician to uplifting our driving performances.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Lorne and Uplands School of Motoring. I did a weeks long intensive course, and passed first time with only 2 minors! Lorne was a great instructor, with a friendly approach that made me feel comfortable and confident in my driving ability. I loved his style of teaching and the memorable techniques he shared for key manoeuvres needed to pass the test. For someone who was a nervous driver, Lorne managed to make the learning experience enjoyable! Thanks again, Ciara

Fantastic experience: I am incredibly thankful to Robert. I was once someone who didn't even know how to hold a steering wheel, but Robert's exceptional skills and patient teaching methods have made all the difference. He has the unique ability to connect with any student and guide them through the learning process with ease. Thanks to his dedicated instruction, I passed my driving test with only a minor fault. I am fully satisfied with the outstanding service I received from Uplands School of Motor. Words cannot express my gratitude and excitement for finally having my driving license, an achievement that seemed impossible without Robert's support and expertise.Again I thanked him from bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Finding the right driving instructor can be tough, but I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had Robert as my very first (and definitely best) instructor. He's the epitome of professionalism: punctual, patient, and an excellent communicator, even when faced with a language barrier like mine. Robert's teaching philosophy focuses on clear, concise instruction, making the learning process smooth and stress-free. He goes beyond simply preparing you for the driving test; his goal is to equip you with lifelong skills that will keep you safe and confident on the road. A heartfelt thank you to Robert! Without a doubt, I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn automatic driving.

Fantastic experience: Big shout out to Robert who managed to teach my girlfriend how to drive without ever being sworn at or inducing a Chernobyl-level meltdown. He’s a much better man than me. Although listening to the missus say how wonderful he was all the time might have made me worry occasionally She started off having lessons with a chap from a different [automatic cars driving school] where she wasted 6 months driving at less than 20 miles per hour. This would have been fine if he didn’t also spend half his lessons saying how wonderful he is and how accommodating he is… whilst never committing to timings, turning up late and generally being a nightmare. I had to fight so hard to get my girlfriend to change driving schools, and I am so glad that I did, because… ROBERT, at UPLANDS DRIVING SCHOOL, was - ALWAYS ON TIME (or early)* - COMMUNICATED CLEARLY - KEPT IT SIMPLE (and) SAFE - WAS ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING. *It’s like the roads Robert drives are in an alternate universe where there’s no traffic as somehow [the other instructor] always hit bad traffic. I am quite public facing, so whenever I get a chance, I now always recommend Uplands Driving School - and Robert in particular for lessons in an Automatic. His car was also really nice and he was very happy for me to ride along so I could see how to support my girlfriend when we did driving practice together. I get the feeling she probably didn’t rave about how wonderful I am to her other man though

Deepika Pinto 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Robert @Uplands after really struggling with another driving school. I had zero confidence (and competence), but Robert was just amazing. It's been particularly challenging as an adult learner, but Robert was extremely patient, kind, and kept everything simple. He got me driving well in no time. I'm extremely grateful, and would recommend this driving school to anyone. Shout out also to Lorne for putting me in touch with Robert, while offering to give me manual lessons as well in case Robert didn't have availability. I was in a bit of a rush to get driving as I was going to be moving away for work and needed my independence. Uplands was really accommodating and started my lessons ASAP. Not to mention working around my long work hours/shift patterns, which meant doing lessons late on weekdays, as well as most weekends. Thank you Robert and thank you Uplands Driving School.

Joe Lewis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had Robert as my instructor, teaching me automatic. Honestly, cannot find a flaw. I am on the autism spectrum and suffer from ADD, so it was already quite difficult for me to adapt to driving. Robert could not have helped any better with this, teaching me to verbalise while constantly driving, from lesson 1, as opposed to constantly stopping to read from a book. Not like most instructors, but no doubt is the more ideal method. Overall, can't get a better option than Robert Sabido; thank you!

Sandra Tyranska 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time pass with Robert Sabido after only 9 lessons!!! I don’t think there are enough words in any language to describe how exceptional of an instructor and person Rob is. Regardless of experience, any driving anxieties, and any additional needs, he puts a lot of time and effort into his teaching and your learning, fully tailoring each lesson to you and your needs, and even going as far as learning additional teaching techniques (even sign language!!) so that absolutely anyone can learn to drive with him. You can see the passion he has for his job straight away, placing loads of importance on safety & simplicity (KISS - keep it simple and safe! I’m taking this one to the grave ). His patience, calmness, and constant reassurance was a huge help along with all the laughs we shared on our lessons. The fact that he was able to get me to conquer Briton Ferry roundabout speaks volumes! Really wish I went with Rob & Uplands School of Motoring as soon as I started to learn as I’d definitely be on the road by now. I don’t think I’ve ever recommended anyone as highly as I do Rob and this is coming straight from the heart - whatever your experience, confidence level, disability, age, background, etc, Rob will get you on the road and he will make you a safe and confident driver. Already missing you Rob ❤️

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning to drive with an amazing instructor, and I couldn't be more satisfied with Nehar's teaching and experience—professionalism, patience, and expertise throughout the entire learning process. From the very first lesson, Nehar's personality created a comfortable and encouraging learning environment. She took the time to understand my nervousness when it came to driving, adding humour to the lessons which allowed me to feel more confident behind the wheel. Nehar could spot my mistakes and allow me to reflect on them without initially telling me what I did wrong, allowing me to scan over what I did and Identify the problem myself. After I identified the mistake she would explain to me how I could fix this in a calm, encouraging and professional manner. She also used examples and visual aids such as a whiteboard where she would draw the situation I was in, or even use toy cars to show me what was happening. This allowed me to reflect on these mistakes and rectify them during the lessons we had. Having 0 experience when it came to driving, within 4 months I passed my test with flying colours. The amount of things I learned in those 4 months has allowed me to become a safe, responsible and confident driver. Overall, the quality of the lessons was amazing I could not be more happy with my experience with Nehar. I recommend Nehar to all those who want to learn how to drive and pass their test effortlessly with a boatload of confidence!

Fantastic experience: Huge huge HUGE thanks to Rob! After trying multiple driving instructors over 8 years and being a very nervous driver, I passed first time thanks to Rob. If anyone is an anxious driver, or has been putting it off out of fear, then I would definitely recommend Rob. He’s a fantastic instructor who doesn’t just tell people what to do, he teaches & coaches you on how to actually drive - immediately after passing my test I went out in my own car and felt totally comfortable driving on my own, which I think is a real testament to Rob. Thank you so much Rob & uplands driving school

Fantastic experience: Robert Sabido is professional and very understanding. I have learning difficulties and had four driving instructors over the past ten years. Rob challenged himself to learn about my disability and to come up with alternative ways of teaching me. He went over things until they were understood and never belittled me in anyway. He stopped me from giving up. He told me “I believe in you”. You CAN do this. Rob is very patient and easy to be around, you will not feel uncomfortable. He puts SAFETY first at all times. I can’t thank you enough for helping me PASS the driving test. Robert Sabido.

His approachable and friendly demeanour made it easy for me to ask questions and learn at my own pace. I highly recommend Lorne to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive driving instructor

Fantastic experience: From day 1 of my lessons, Robert has been an amazing mentor. We have been able to dissolve my previous bad driving habits, and I now feel more safe and confident on the road. He adjusts his teaching style to suit the learner, and likes to 'keep it simple and safe'. Overall wonderful experience!

Fantastic experience: As a beginner, I got lessons from Lorne and passed the test the first time. I could not have asked for a better instructor with a methodical approach and patience. He instilled the confidence required to pass the test. Most importantly, a friendly and pleasant person to have in the passenger seat while driving around. I recommend Lorne to anyone wanting driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: I started taking lessons with Uplands School of Motoring as I was left disappointed with A2Z of Motoring! My instructor Luke was really great. He gave me a big confidence boost and was helpful all the way. We got on really well! I passed my driving test with them recently after what seems like a lifetime! I would highly recommend this school to anyone as well as Luke. Reasonably priced as well!

Fantastic experience: I had struggled with my driving for years , little did I know a very competent and patient driving instructor was right down the road from me. *Mark* I attribute my confidence and competence to your methodic instruction. Your talent to deconstruct the issues I was having and explain them in a way I was able to understand was instrumental to me understanding the basics to build upon. I can't say thank you enough and would highly recommend him as an instructor.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! I was a very nervous student before having lessons with Richard. Richard made me feel very safe in the car whilst having a great sense of humour and took the pressure off my driving anxiety a lot! Completely owe it to Richard for passing first time

Fantastic experience: Robert at Uplands School of Motoring is an amazing teacher and I'm so happy to have passed first time! He is so patient, understanding and keeps everything simple. As someone who suffers with anxiety you wouldn't have thought so during my test, and I couldn't have done it without Rob - thank you so much for helping me get there!

Fantastic experience: I was so lucky my instructor was Lorne. He is really knowledgeable especially about the test routes in Swansea area. I took 10-15 hours of lesson from him and passed my driving test in my first time. My test route was the one we already practiced on so I didn't have any issue completing it just with 2 minor faults. Thanks a lot Lorne.

Azho Kezo 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was desperately looking for a driving instructor as I had just 2-3 months before my test. Everyone was over booked but Lorne kindly took me under his wing. We went through about 10-12 hours of test routes and today I came home with a driving licence! Lorne was very patient, punctual, precise with his instructions and knew how to tailor each lesson to my needs. Can't thank you enough!! I'll now try not to lose my licence again! I would highly recommend taking lessons from Lorne.

Fantastic experience: I needed some refresher driving lessons after not haven driven for about 10 years and having passed my driving test many years before that. Jamie was patient, and built up my confidence whilst also advising on points for improvement and changes in the highway code. I was lucky to have had Jamie as my refresher driving instructor and can thoroughly recommend him
