Fantastic experience: Both my son and daughter passed first time with Paul. He was great to communicate with, always punctual and he built up great rapport with them both, putting them at ease. He was very accommodating to squeeze lessons in around my daughter’s work and when we managed to get a last minute cancelation. We would highly recommend Paul.

Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time with Paul this morning. I found him to be very calm, he never got angry or made me feel uncomfortable. He was always very clear with his instructions, and always focussed on fixing anything I was struggling with, which helped build my confidence. I would not have been able to pass first time without the help of Paul. He was also flexible with lesson days and times, and responded quickly to my messages. I would definitely recommend, if you’re looking for lessons, to go with Paul. Thank you for all your help!! I will miss our lessons

Fantastic experience: I learned to drive with Paul and could not recommend him enough. I have passed my test first time with only one minor. I found Paul to be an excellent teacher who would explain things very clearly and tailored lessons to what I felt I needed more practice on. I would definitely recommend him to those who are anxious about learning to drive as Paul never raises his voice and always remains calm in lessons. Paul was also approachable and friendly and put me at ease in lessons and on the day of my test. Wouldn’t have passed first time without the quality of his teaching thank you Paul!!

Hi Rowan, thank you for your great review, and many congratulations on your first time pass! Keep up the high standard of driving and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: After taking lessons with Paul my daughter has just passed her driving test at the first attempt. From her first drive right through through to spiral roundabouts, merging lanes and some motorway driving she found Paul to be calm, patient, reassuring and clear in his instructions. She always looked forward to her lessons and both her confidence and skill developed with every session. She even recommended Paul to a friend who's learning was not going as well as it should - after switching to Paul she's now improving and enjoying the process. Thank you Paul

He is very friendly, never raises his voice, and is always happy to answer any questions I may have.

I enjoyed lessons with him, and I don’t think I would have passed first try without Paul’s teaching.

Fantastic experience: Today I passed my test first time with 4 minors. Hollie was my instructor and I would highly recommend her I could not of done this with out you.

Fantastic experience: Review is a bit late, but I had Holly as a driving instructor and she helped me pass first time back in April. Coming from an instructor who wasn't reliable at all, it was such a relief having a reliable, communicative, patient, and knowledgeable driving instructor. I'm very very grateful for her help and advice. I will always recommend her as a driving instructor should anyone need one!
Hello Fabienne, thank you very much for your kind review. It doesn't matter that it has been a few months since you passed your driving test, as it is always very helpful to receive your feedback. Your comments have also been sent to Holly, as it really does mean a lot to our instructors when they receive positive feedback. Thank you again for taken the time to leave us a review.

Hello Paul, well done on passing first time and with no faults, keep up the safe driving! Thank you very much for taking time to post a review, it means so much to both Oak as a driving school and to Jo. Stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Started my lessons pre Covid with Paul who was always so calm and reassuring. Continued with Holly after the pandemic who has always gone above and beyond in accommodating me, reassuring me and most of all making the lessons ‘MY’ lessons. Whatever I wanted to do or felt unsure of she would go over and over with me even if she thought I was ready and I felt I wasn’t. I’m going to miss my lessons now I have passed but I’m so happy someone else now has a chance to learn with her.

Hello Joshua, thank you for your review and congratulations on your pass. Stay safe.
Fantastic experience: After a tough few setbacks, I passed with a clean sheet! Paul is an amazing instructor who is very professional and listens to your less confident areas and always takes them into account. I love the way that the instructor uses a system that keeps track of your lessons objectives and what you want to improve on for next time I found this was very effective and helped immensely. Paul was always reliable and never canceled short notice, he would always go above and beyond to fit you in for lessons… Overall I would highly recommend Paul and his team!
Thank you Ellie, and congratulations on your pass. Stay safe.
Negative experience: Instructor wanted to stop for a ten minute break most lessons and then always dropped me home ten minutes early. Never taught me how to use the handbrake or any manoeuvres despite having so many lessons. Basically, he didn't actually teach me anything so I went to a different company in the end. Wasted so much money when I was struggling to afford it anyway.
Hello Bryony, I am very sorry to hear about your experience with Oak School of Motoring and am concerned about the points you have raised. Could I please ask if you could contact me through either the email address or one of the phone numbers on our website, you can text if you would prefer, giving me the name of the Instructor you were with, so that I can look into this matter for you. Once again I am very sorry that you did not have a positive experience with us. I await your reply, regards, Julia
Fantastic experience: **UPDATE** I cannot recommend Oak School of Motoring enough, Paul is an amazing teacher. Our youngest daughter has also passed 1st time with only 1 fault. Thank you Paul both my girls have been taught by the best. Paul taught our eldest daughter to drive and she passed 1st time, he was always very friendly, calm and professional. He always had very good communication skills with both myself and my daughter. In fact we were so happy that we have already booked Paul in to teach our second daughter to drive in 2021. I would 100% recommend Oak School of Motoring to anyone looking for a professional and reliable driving instructor.
Thank you very much Nicola for your fantastic review, it really does mean so much, and we are very pleased that you have also booked your younger daughter in to have lessons with us.
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Steven and was very lovely to me and really taught me well. He was always very patient with me and slowly built up my confidence as a driver and put in every effort to make sure I was ready for my driving test when the time came.
Hello Nicholas, thank you very much for your review, it is very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Just passed first time with Steve! Made me feel so comfortable and he was very friendly. Would definitely recommend

Congratulations Zak and thank you for your review. Safe driving!
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to take the time to write a few words regarding Oak School of Motoring. My son has recently passed his test and Oak School of Motoring were instrumental in helping him pass first time. Paul, his instructor, was excellent from his very first lesson. He was always punctual and never once cancelled or changed a lesson. Paul is very experienced, very calm and had good conversations with my son on every lesson. I believe that a lot more companies out there are offering driving lessons now, but I do not think you can go far wrong calling up Oak School of Motoring first to check on their availability. We certainly will use them again when our youngest is 17.
Thank you Mark for your review, we really do appreciate your comments. It was a pleasure helping Zak to achieve his goal of becoming a safe and confident driver.
Fantastic experience: I had Nigel as my instructor, he’s a passionate driving instructor who takes pride in all his lessons. He gave me the confidence and skills needed to pass my test and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons, can’t thank Nigel enough!
Congratulations on your pass Alex, and thank you very much for your review.

Thank you Abbie, stay safe and thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my test at Maybush and my driving instructor Phil was super helpful. I was previously with a different driving company, but my experience with Oak and with Phil has been great! Super patient, calm and supportive - making sure I was super confident before he let me take my test. With this being such an uncertain time the Driving school was so good at getting lessons to people and making sure everyone was safe! Great experience, really recommend!
Congratulations and thank you for your review.
Negative experience: Instructor made me re-fuel his cars several times during my lessons (time I was paying for) when I learned to drive with OAK... w@nker
I am very sorry to hear this, as this is not our normal policy. If I could kindly ask you to contact me on one of the following then I can certainly look into the matter for you. email; [email protected], 02380692738 or 07815819828.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my driving test first time. I had my lessons with Steve. He is absolutely brilliant, super patient and calm. I have learned with two other instructors, and I must say Steve must be the best. He put me at ease straight away and I enjoy every lesson very much. I couldn't recommend Steve highly enough.
Well done on your pass and thank you very much for your review.
Fantastic experience: Paul is an amazing instructor who was very patient and went through everything as many times as was necessary so that I felt confident in my driving, and I passed first time.
Congratulations Abigail and thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Had my lessons with Ben an found him extremely helpful an professional, Got me through it in 22.5 hours
Well done Paul and thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: I had to take a test for my Licence as a Chauffeur, and after driving for 44 years i thought I had better tale a few refresher lessons to learn what bad habits i had been driving with for all those years. I choose Oak School of motoring and my instructor Leanne was most helpful and knowledgeable. I knew how to drive, but i needed to know what new things i needed to know for my Driving test. Leanne was patient and extremely helpful, and she quickly identified the areas i needed to practice on. She made up some printed material for me to take away and learn from, and we only needed 2 lessons together to bring me up to speed. I passed my test with just 1 minor, and all thanks to Leanne. I fully recommend Oak School of Driving and especially ask for Leanne as your instructor.
Well done and thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Have known Leanne for many many years, so when she told me she was becoming a driving instructor couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather have teach my son than her. She is kind, has the patience of a saint & made my son Liam feel very relaxed and comfortable. So today he took his test for the second time & passed. Very proud of him as he’s only been driving since July. A lot of this is big thanks to Leanne. Can not recommend Leanne enough! Thank you so much Leanne
Congratulations to Liam and thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Came to oak for my instructor training, Paul trained me very well and had time to support me throughout my journey, he would always make every effort to fit me in for as many lessons as I needed and was always just a phone call away. He supported me through all 3 of my tests and afterwards too. I can't thank Paul enough for all he did for me and all the support I received. If your looking to become a driving instructor I would 100% recommend you contact Paul.
Fantastic experience: I failed my test a couple of times then changed over to oak with steve, then passed my test on the first attempt after that. I was only with him for a month and and bit, he was a brilliant driving instructor, very helpful and really built my confidence with my driving. Couldn’t ask for anything better 10/10
Fantastic experience: Can't thank Nigel enough for getting our eldest son ready for his test. He passed first time, in just over four months of lessons. Nigel had a great rapport too. Thank you so much....here's to number two in 18 months!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Oak Driving school for a new driver who want their confidence boosted and awareness of the roads. My experience was excellent and with little lessons passed first time.
Negative experience: Almost ran over one of my friends and then the instructor visibly laughed.
Fantastic experience: After losing some confidence with my driving, my instructor Paul really helped me gain this and really helped improve my driving skills. He was very kind and patient with me, and so grateful for all the help! Would definitely recommend him!
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time after having lessons with Paul from Oak. I would 100% recommend as he was extremely calm and helpful, really reliable and put me completely at ease. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor!
Fantastic experience: I have just passed first time with Phil from Oak School of Motoring. I was a nervous learner to start but Phil was a great instructor. He put me at ease straight away and gave me the confidence I needed to pass. Thanks Phil totally appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I was recommended Oaksom by multiple friends and Paul, my driving instructor was an amazing, I felt totally at ease and comfortable right from the beginning of my lessons! Every lesson was different and he helped me perfect the manoeuvres and general driving skills very quickly. Would 10000% recommend to anyone needing a driving instructor, he's great!
Fantastic experience: Passed first try with Paul, excellent instructor, super patient and reassuring and would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I first enquired about becoming a Driving Instructor nearly 20 years ago but was put off by the demands of training with a big company and being tied into an expensive franchise deal. I found OAK School of Motoring was offering Driving Instructor Training and was interested to see how training with a smaller company would compare. I met up with Paul for a chat and was reassured by his non-pushy and more personal approach. I have been able to train at a pace that suited me and have been able to do this alongside my current job, therefore minimising any risk involved in branching out in a new direction. Paul has been very supportive throughout and very patient with me! I have just passed my final exam and am now a qualified ADI and have Paul to thank for giving me the confidence to achieve a long held dream. I would recommend anyone to contact OAK School of Motoring for driving instruction at any level, they are a friendly and competent family company who really care.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend oak have been learning for years found steve and passed second time can't thank you enough. Started lessons in May and eight months later passed would recommend them straight away especially if you are nervous he put me at ease straight away especially as I had previously had a bad experience with an instructor.
Fantastic experience: Oak som was recommended by a family friend,I had Paul as my instructor and he was brilliant! I defiantly have Paul to thank for passing me first timeThe lessons were amazing as paul really encouraged me,Brilliant prices too
Fantastic experience: I previously had driving lessons and absolutely hated them and decided driving just wasn't for me. A few years on and I thought I'd give it another try, I found Oak online and had lessons with Paul and my whole mindset changed! He was great, really patient and encouraging and made me believe in myself. Paul gave me huge confidence and with his help I managed to pass first time! Would recommend to everyone, thanks so much Paul!
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving school, my instructor paul was the best driving instructor, always able to fit me in last minute and great at teaching me to drive from not knowing anything to passing my test first time with 4 minors.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has recently passed her test first time, with Paul. She was a very nervous driver and he was very patient with her. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: It was time for me to change my career to become an ADI I found osksom via their website I spoke to Paul and arranged a Lesson. After a long chat and my first lesson, he convinced me That this was the right company to help me. I found Paul to be very professional full of advise and knowledge. A positive attitude and friendly instructor. He helped me pass all of my test first time, and I am now working with Paul and his team and thoroughly enjoying my new role as an Approved driving instructor.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Nigel Pogson. Fantastic instructor. Oak are spot on.
Fantastic experience: Paul was recommended by a work colleague and lived up to his reputation! My son learnt with Paul and passed first time. Having sat in on one of his early lessons to get a feel of what he was learning, I found Paul to be patient and encouraging and engaged at the the right level with my son. He was really helpful when booking the test and full of advice and pointers. What I really liked was the way he got the student to self reflect - really important so they recognise their own abilities. Highly recommend and will be back in 18 months when my daughter hits 17!!
Fantastic experience: Quality driving instructors I had Steve who managed to get me to pass with 1 minor! Lesson are very well priced and very friendly would recommend!
