Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of Artur as my instructor passing first time with a few minors. Artur is very knowledgeable, patient and is a instructor who makes the lessons fun and enjoyable with his great personality. Don't worry about making any mistakes on the road as Artur is always quick when dealing with hazards. 10/10 could not recommend more to those wanting to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: Artur was incredible instructor and supported me to pass my driving test first time with only two minor faults!! I was really nervous during practice and Artur is calming, reassuring and encouraging. He gives clear instructions and helped me become a great driver. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a driving instructor for Isleworth/Twickenham/Hounslow/ Richmond area. THANK YOU ARTUR!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Licence 2 Drive as a US driver, and I expected I’d only need to spend a short amount of time learning a few tips to help me pass the exam here in the UK. I ended up receiving a service that went above and beyond my expectations. Karl went out of his way to make sure I understood the entire process, and provided wonderful guidance when it came to the driving etiquette and rules of the road here in the UK. I’ll recommend Licence 2 Drive to anyone who is in need of a top-notch driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Arthur is amazing! I passed first time this week thanks to him! We did 40-50 hours of lessons and I looked forward to each one. He’s clear with his explanations, flexible on lesson times and makes learning to drive so much fun! He doesn’t just teach you what you need to pass the test but how to be a great driver. Thank you so much Arthur and Licence 2 Drive

Fantastic experience: Artur is a patient and very experienced driving instructor which helped me pass on my driving test (first try). I couldn't have passed without his help and advice. I hope every learning driver can have Artur as a driving instructor or atleast someone with his level of care and expertise.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing driving experience with my instructor, Artur. He is incredible at what he does, which resulted in me passing my driving exam on my first try!!

Simon Fraser 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Passed on my first try. Absolutely elated with the results. Artur understands his students very well. He tailored his approach to my style of learning and really stepped up in the last week to get me 100% test ready. His style of communication is very good and always tells you how it is. He was very flexible with my schedule and never cancelled any lessons over a 6 month span. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the process and area which is a huge advantage. He is very personable and is very easy to get along with - an important aspect too as you’ll be spending hours on the road with your instructor! See you on the road Artur - thanks so much

Jeremy Kelleher 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Karl is the best driving instructor! From my experience with multiple driving instructors, Karl is by far the most effective. I failed 3 times with other instructors. I then switched to Karl and passed on my first attempt with him. He always set the perfect tone for learning effectively. Every missing skill and lack of knowledge I had was addressed and resolved. I enjoyed his helpful analogies and parables. From experiencing his teachings, it is clear that Karl’s methods have been tried and tested over the years and that he thinks deeply about how best to transmit and solidify the skills and knowledge of how to drive safely and pass the test into his students. I can’t recommend learning to drive with Karl highly enough. Thank you Karl!

Eddy McKinnon 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my manual driving test FIRST TIME today with a perfect score. Zero faults! I wish I could say it was down to my abilities, but really all the credit goes to Artur, my instructor at license2drive. Artur is a truly excellent teacher: Professional, friendly, reliable, informative. I looked forward to each of my 15 lessons… learning essential driving skills and key aspects of the test… all whilst having a laugh at the same time. I really recommend taking driving lessons with Artur. He’ll help you improve and pass in no time!

shobnom rahman 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Karl! I was able to learn to drive and pass a lot sooner than I thought. Karl is a brilliant instructor ; his way of teaching is very precise and clear. He can point out weak points in our driving and will make sure to support and build confidence in those areas as well as teaching the basics. Thankyou Karl

emma webb 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I finally decided to learn to drive about 20 years later than most. I was lucky to be taught by Artur. Lessons were always fun and he was patient dealing with the many strange things I was doing at first..! I really appreciated he was able to be flexible with the lesson times, as my job has quite unpredictable hours, and it felt quite difficult/stressful to fit them in otherwise. And the most important part: I passed first time! So thank you very much Licence 2 drive and Artur

Vepper 321 (Vepper321) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After failing my test 4 times previously mostly due to nerves, I started driving with Artur who was very patient and very experienced. It is very clear that he knows what he is doing and made our lessons very fun and I looked forward to them. He also helped me to refine my driving and I passed the next test I had thanks to Artur’s help. I couldn’t recommend Artur enough he is amazing at what he does.

Eily Sunshine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Artur is an amazing driving instructor. He taught me over the course of around 8months and I passed my test with 3 minors. He is patient and understanding but also creates an atmosphere where learning is fun and enjoyable! If you’re looking to learn manual, I can’t recommend Artur enough!

Abigail 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Karl!! Had a great experience learning to drive with him as my instructor. Couldn’t have asked for someone better, he was patient, helpful and fun, which really helped me out in each lesson I had with him. Without him I wouldn’t have been able to pass my driving test but because of his guidance I managed to pass first time (yay!!!) I found the test itself to be more calm than I had been imagining all thanks to how he prepared and taught me extensively on how to drive safely, how to improve and deal with a wide range of situations in the road. Highly recommend Karl! Thank you for the support and being so great with me!

Hannah Jones 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend License2Drive. Preparing for my U.K. driving test with Karl has been a great learning experience, resulting in passing my test first time. After learning to drive in the U.S as a mature driver, I needed lessons to adapt to the British roads and become a more confident driver in general. Taking the time to learn with such an experienced instructor has made a huge difference to my driving. The lessons have been super enjoyable and highly informative. Karl offers a wealth of experience and an in-depth knowledge of all the test routes, he’s a reliable, empathetic and patient teacher. Thanks for teaching me how to drive!

Carlota Hayaux du Tilly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend licence2drive and specifically, Artur. He created such a fun, comfortable teaching environment and you can really tell he is invested in his students and wants you to pass. I am so grateful for everything he's taught me and I can really attest to the fact that he's one of the best instructors.

Michael Whitmore (mwhit10) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Artur enough as a driving instructor! Really felt that I took something away from each lesson and made improvements in my driving. This is due to Artur's clear and easy to understand teaching style, and the confidence he instilled in me from our lessons. This ultimately led to me passing and adopting the right driving habits going forward.

Henry Gibbons 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Artur is an amazing instructor with perfect knowledge and instructions. I passed my test with only 2 minors and I put it all down to him. Cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Artur!

Tahira Taylor 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my practical driving test the first time thanks to Artur’s wonderful instruction. What I appreciated most was the consistency, reliability and attention to detail. Artur remembered my areas of improvement from lesson to lesson, which made it feel like he was genuinely invested in truly teaching me. Lessons were always on time at the agreed time, and Artur was wonderfully flexible if changes needed to be made. Because he knows the test routes and what examiners are looking for, Artur taught me not only the rules of the road and how to operate the car, but gave me the confidence that ultimately led to my success. I can’t recommend him enough! By the time I got to test day, I’d made a mate in Artur and just knew I was going to pass thanks to how well he taught me to drive.

Elizabeth Lam 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Artur taught me everything I know about driving. He took me on for my first ever driving lesson this summer and I have just passed my test first time. He is a wonderful instructor - really supportive, patient and professional. I put off learning to drive for several years because the thought of being behind a wheel made me nervous and it seemed like a gigantic time commitment. But over the last few months, I really looked forward to each session with Artur because his good humour made driving fun and enjoyable. Thanks Artur :) Really appreciate your support throughout the whole journey!

Sophia Ronn-White 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Artur for his calm and friendly way of teaching. I passed first time and would highly recommend him to anyone considering learning to drive. Artur is an examiner too, so he is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the practical test. Thank you Artur!

James Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Artur has been absolutely incredible and forward coming during the time being. I passed first time with 3 minor faults, all thanks to Arturs great teaching. I always felt comfortable and was looking forward to each lesson we had. He doesn’t put any pressure on you and takes his time guiding you with all his experience. I can only recommend him for anyone that is looking to take lessons soon.

Dhierda Utiya 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Artur is a great instructor! I passed my first driving test with his help! He was very thorough and efficient with the lessons.

Andy & Anne-Marie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We are happy to highly recommend Artur as a driving instructor… and have been doing to all our friends with teenagers and young adults wishing to learn! So glad we found you. Artur treated our 17 year old son as an equal, giving him confidence and credibility in decision making, whilst showing a chatty easy going manner. Our son looked forward to his drives with Artur! Lessons were professional and thorough, covering the entire test syllabus. We appreciated Artur’s friendly relaxed approach in what could be a potentially stressful situation with serious responsibility. It’s a fine balance and you nailed it - Thank you SO much Artur!!

Annie L. 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my first driving test! All thanks to Karl, my instructor! He is experienced, skilled and understanding, and I wholeheartedly suggest him to everyone! I had no prior driving experience when I began my lesson, but he thoroughly taught me all the necessary skills, made me familiar with the testing area, and also managed my mindset during my learning progress. As a result, I did not feel anxious when I took my test; instead, I felt like I was driving as usual. For me, it was definitely a great experience!

George Godfrey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Artur was a great instructor Very experienced, clear communicator and patient.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 Driving instructor - a calm and clear coach… I wanted re-fresher lessons after moving to London so I could get out on the roads whether it be in London or beyond, and Carl’s given me the confidence to enjoy driving !

Daisy Meads 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time thanks to Licence2drive. I was a little apprehensive about learning to drive a Manual Car but Artur my instructor assured me I had the skills to do this. He taught me well, prepared me for the test it, was a bonus he used to be a driving examiner and decided to start teaching again. I can’t praise him enough . Thanks again Artur. See you on the road … Beep Beep

Rosie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test first time with 5 minors! Artur is a fantastic instructor and he taught me from the start. He’s incredibly experienced and knew exactly what is needed to pass the test, certainly made sure I was well prepared. But more importantly, has taught me to be safe on the road so I’ll be benefitting my whole life. He creates an easygoing vibe in the car and made each lesson fun - great sense of humour. Gave me a lot of confidence before the test. When I was learning to drive at the start I felt safe because he’s always focussed on the road even when chatting and would NEVER let anything happen since he reacts very quickly to whatever is going on on the road. Reliable with lessons and always on time. I would definitely recommend him!

ME AND MINE 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve passed my driving test from first attempt after my lessons with Karl! He pointed out all my mistakes, taught me how to navigate the road correctly, answered a lot of my questions. Karl was very patient with me. I’ve got invaluable driving practice, confidence on the road in different situations, correct driving habits. Great driving teacher with years of experience! Excellent work!

Terri Cheung 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test this morning and I cannot recommend Karl enough to anyone! He is the best instructor---organised teaching plan, clear explanation with drawings, even mentoring on my mindset! Before I changed my instructor to Karl, I had lots of poor driving habits and failed the test two times. Karl noticed this on his first lesson with me and corrected my bad habits quickly. Speaking of work ethics, Karl is never late, never wastes your time and money, never checks his mobile during your lesson, never picked another students before dropping you off at your destination when your lesson finishes. He has the best teaching skills and attitude. Karl, thank you soooo much!

Evgenia S 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I found Licence2drive through a Google search. I chose them as they were based in Richmond and had great reviews! I had a somewhat limited amount of time to get ready for my driving test as my theory exam was expiring within 4 months. I must say I wasn't disappointed with my choice. From the first lesson I could feel the professionalism and care. Both Karl and Artur are amazing instructors! Huge thanks to Licence2drive! Wishing you all the best - see you on the road!

Xiaojie Chen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After having several attempts at a driving test and failing whilst learning with another school, I had lost all hope. I was recommended to give Licence2drive a call. My instructor Karl would give me honest, careful and gentle feedback on my driving and previous test results as to why I haven’t been successful. He wasted no time with me - he is such a kind, generous hard working professional with vast experience in his field going back years and years. He went above and beyond to give me the instruction I so desperately needed. It wasn’t easy for me BUT today I Passed my driving test !!!!!! .. …. Pure delight … I can’t recommend this school enough. Thanks Karl ☺️

Nautilus 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karl has been nothing but supportive throughout the course . I arranged for my sister to take lessons at a specific time as it was the only time she could do it. He accommodated her by meeting her after college straight away to give lessons despite it being a difficult time in the day he was never late and always gave constructive and honest feedback. Due to this my sister passed the first time with flying colours. I would not hesitate to recommend Karl to others with the excellent quality of teaching he provided. - Ollie

R S 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having driven abroad for many years. I decided to have a go at the UK driving test. My Instructor Karl who has a wealth of experience teaching back 20 years updated me with the UK driving rules & regulations and explained to me how to apply this through my driving. Yesterday I demonstrated all that I had learnt to the DVSA examiner and gained my UK Licence on my first attempt. I’d like to thank Karl and Licence2drive for helping me achieve my goal. I couldn’t have chosen a better school.

Andrew Stern 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karl was extremely helpful and accommodating. As an American expat with over 15 years of driving experience, I needed someone to take me through the specifics of the UK practical test, and Karl tailored two last-minute sessions just for my level of experience and personal needs. Communication was prompt and clear, price was fair, and at the end of the day I passed my practical test in one go. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Prakash Hariharan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just finished taking my driving test, and super excited to have cleared it in the first attempt! Karl was my teacher and he is excellent. Have really enjoyed learning from him over the last several weeks. Being an international driver was tricky - had to unlearn a lot of habits, in addition to learning a lot of new ones. Karl made it possible. I will be recommending him to all my friends.

Daniel Hulme 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Karl is a fantastic instructor. From the start, he took the time to understand my driving background (USA, many years ago) and objectives, quickly identified my areas of weakness, and prepared me to take and pass my practical test on the first attempt. I wholly recommend Karl to anyone looking to learn, remember or improve how to drive. He is extremely professional, patient, and understands how to get his lessons across clearly. I had fun, learned a lot, and now look forward to practicing the good habits he has taught me.

Brijesh Yadav 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thank you, Karl, @ Licence2Drive!! Passed my test this week at Chertsey Test Centre. Am not from Chertsey so don’t have a whole lot of familiarity with the roads there. But the lessons with Karl were amazingly helpful. Needless to say, he knows the test routes very well, but then, Karl's method always focusses on mastering the driving and not the routes. That way the skill you learn remains with you for life and will make you a safer driver everywhere. Karl is an amazing instructor at the top of his trade. He has more than 2 decades of experience of teaching driving, and he has this unique way of getting through to you. I would highly recommend everyone to take driving lessons, especially people like me who have been driving all their lives internationally. Coz as much as it is important to learn driving by UK rules, it is more important to unlearn some of the bad habits that people who know how to drive pick-up unconsciously. I cannot recommend Karl enough. Not only he has an eye to catch those bad habits within an hour of your first lesson, but he has tons of experience to iron out those kinks organically and make you safe driver ... That he will make you pass the UK Driving test effortlessly & probably in first attempt, is actually a bonus!

Kate Maule 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having failed a test as a teenager I was nervous about taking up driving again in my 30s. Karl has been a brilliant teacher, firm but fair and has a great sense of humour. Today I passed my test at Isleworth and I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much Karl!

Fantastic experience: I never thought I’d get my drivers licence but this year I finally decided to give it a crack. From no experience what so ever, I did 6 months with Karl, one 2 hour lesson per week (I had no opportunity to do any driving outside of my lessons) and passed my driving test. Karl is a great guy who makes learning to drive easy with his teaching methods. I really enjoyed my time with Karl and would definitely recommend him as an instructor if you’re lucky enough to make it on his busy schedule!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Karl. He was recommended to me by two friends that had passed with Karl's help over 8 years ago! 8 years later, Karl is still the same excellent instructor. He's well versed on the test routes and what examiners would be looking out for during your practical driving exam. He makes lessons fun, he's not too serious which allows for students to relax and enjoy the process of learning how to drive. Karl is also concise with his teachings which is another bonus! I'll be recommending all my friends and family to Karl, for sure! ✅

Megan Reed 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Karl enough! I had previous lessons a few years ago with a different instructor and had been put off trying again after a bad experience. Karl always made me feel extremely comfortable and managed to find a way of giving constructive guidance and feedback whilst also making the lessons enjoyable. He was extremely dedicated to my lessons, especially working around my busy work schedule. I’m so pleased to say I passed first time and I couldn’t have done it without Karl :)

Jessica 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time - despite being incredibly nervous ahead of my test! I couldn’t have done this without Karl. Learning to drive is an investment but having a good instructor makes it all worthwhile, so it is important to find the right one. Karl will make you feel in very safe hands, he is super experienced and I am thrilled that I now have a listen to drive, because I found this instructor.

Fantastic experience: Karl is a great instructor. He is friendly and makes lessons less stressful by getting to know you and having a chat. He adapts his style to meet your needs and particular circumstances. As I am an experienced driver, just unfamiliar with the UK and the rules of the road, he didn't treat me like a novice driver and adapted the lessons to help me feel comfortable on the road here and pass the test. If you're in west London, give Karl a go. He also does both manual and automatic.

Fantastic experience: I think it would be reasonable to say that I was definitely not the easiest customer, however Karl was able to show his professionalism and experience to adapt his teaching methods to suit my preferences. I never felt unsafe during his lessons and I am now a competent driver with a license under my belt. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Karl was a brilliant driving instructor. He helped me pass first time! He explains things clearly and is patient until you get it. When I was nervous he was kind and reminded me to enjoy the drive which can be easy to forget sometimes and that would always help me drive better! I passed with confidence and feel safe in the roads following his brilliant teaching. Thanks Karl! :) I would recommend Karl to anyone around the Ealing / Richmond area!

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving first time and I couldn't recommend Karl enough!! I find driving really nerve wracking and Karl helped me build confidence with his teaching style and patience. He also creates a fun environment to learn in which helped me be more comfortable and relaxed whilst driving.

Fantastic experience: Karl has to be the best driving instructor out there. He is super friendly and always up for a laugh. He made understanding every aspect of driving from how the car works to different manoeuvres so easy. There was never a point were I felt judged by him while driving and he was always supportive if I ever messed up. If you are looking for a driving instructor who is really great at what they do and is also a genuine lovely person, Karl is who you want.

Fantastic experience: I had previously failed my driving test with another instructor who wasn't available in time for more lessons after I found a reasonably short notice cancellation. Karl managed to get me in at short notice for two lessons a week and got me up to scratch before my test, I passed it today! I can't thank Karl enough for his teaching and guidance, I would really recommend him to anyone. He is great at explaining driving principles and helping recap what went wrong after a mistake. 5 Stars!

Fantastic experience: Karl was an amazing instructor!! He was very thorough with all instructions and was very dedicated to my driving lessons leading to me passing first time! He believed in my driving even when I didn't myself. Not only did he teach, he made the lessons an enjoyable environment. I cannot recommend Karl enough to anyone who is looking for an instructor :)

Fantastic experience: Karl was very patient and accommodating. I let my planning slip and needed to cram in lessons before a test. He was very easy to contact and positive and luckily I passed. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Karl enough as an instructor! I was quite nervous of learning how to drive but Karl uses his experience to gauge what kind of learner you are and teach in the way you need. His explanations are spot on. He is incredibly patient but also doesn’t let you get away with bad habits and excuses. He went out of his way to give me lessons around my timetable and at the weekend, especially as we approached the test. On top of that Karl is a lovely guy which helps when you’re driving on a dark and frosty early morning…….He put me forward for a test that became open ahead of schedule and I passed with two minors - couldn’t believe it! Thanks Karl!

Fantastic experience: Karl is an excellent driving instructor. He was always calm and explained everything clearly. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed while driving with him. He was especially helpful at setting up extra lessons for me when nearing my test date whilst also working around my school timetable. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
