EL is very friendly, knowledgeable, punctual and extremely supportive along the driving learning curve. I would highly recommend all those in need of lessons to pursue him as an instructor. I wish him all the best as he continues to teach others the ways of the road!

Fantastic experience: If you want to pass your test go with El, I had my lessons with him and passed 1st time with only 2 minors, he's patient, thorough and a bit of a perfectionist which all helped me in the end, he answered my questions when I would randomly think of something via text or WhatsApp straight away, hes the best honestly.

Fantastic experience: WE DID IT!!! After long 4 years on and off finally today I passed after 6th attempt (the nerves failed me all the time). Elgin has been very patience with me, put up with me for years and he kept encouraging me as many times I felt it was my destiny not to drive ever. He is very experience driving instructor I would recommend Elgin to anyone who wants to pass their driving license. Thank you again Elgin! It’s been lovely to have you as my instructor you made each lessons fun!!

Fantastic experience: THANK YOU!! I can’t thank Elgin enough. He has been an incredible instructor from the very start and I can’t recommend him enough. He supported me every step of the way in getting my licence. With his guidance and patience he helped me pass first time! Driving can be nerve racking but Elgin puts in so much time and effort and makes you feel so comfortable and confident. I never enjoyed other driving lessons but these lessons with Elgin I will actually miss! I can’t thank him enough and I highly highly recommend him. :)

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today on my first attempt. All thanks goes to Elgin who is a very professional instructor. The first time I ever got into driving seat was in Elgin’s car :). He is strictly punctual, has got tons of experience. He is so committed and into all tiny details and makes sure that the best comes out of you. If you are looking for the best experience in learning driving, go to Elgin, you won’t get disappointed. I would highly recommend him. It’s a five star experience.

Fantastic experience: I would like to start off with saying a big THANK YOU!! It wouldn’t have been possible without Elgin. He is an absolute star. A Amazing instructor that is always on time, makes you feel at ease, very patient and well spoken when explaining manoeuvres. I suffer with anxiety and had been to 2 instructors prior so I was super never nervous, I came to Els driving school with 5 months to pass, I thought it was impossible with all my bad habits but working thought them continuously my dream came true with the help of this company. I PASSED! Elgin makes you feel super comfortable and at ease. I appreciate the time and effort you put in with me as a customer. I would definitely recommend this company without a doubt. I have no faults what So ever. Your a super star thanks again.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend driving with this service. Very knowledgeable and patient instuctor who can get the best out of you in a short time.

Fantastic experience: Elgin is an amazing teacher, he is patient, puts you at ease, provides clear instructions, and builds confidence and skills. Each lesson was tailored to my needs, and focused on helping me to become a safe confident idependent driver. His new hybrid car is also a dream to drive. I put off learning to drive for many years, and I must admit that learning to drive had become somewhat of a phobia for me. I lacked both skills and confidence. After deciding last year that the time was right, I contacted Els Driving school, and Elgin was the perfect teacher for me. Last week I passed my test first time, in my third choice test center (Sidcup), and in the rain. The online lessons he has put together really helped me as an additional resource in the build up to my test. Elgin, I couldn't have got there without you. Thank you.  It's going to be life changing.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time! I had to take my test in Sidcup due to backlog caused by COVID. It's not the easiest area nor the one I am overly familiar with. Elgin helped me prepare and took me to Sidcup a couple of times. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Elgin, he is patient and super friendly which made my lessons much more enjoyable. He knows how to put people at ease so I felt no pressure during my lessons. I would highly recommend EL's driving school to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I started with Elgin late in November. I had had a previous instructor but we had not done much together. So l was working with a tight schedule but Elgin was really patient with me and went out his way to accommodate me for more lessons just to get me up to speed. He also offered me the online driving courses on his website which l found really helpful because with the time l had, it was great to go through a continuation of the lesson at home and made it easy to understand. I am glad to say l passed my test on first attempt at Hither Green. I would highly recommend Elgin, always soft spoken and patient with you in lessons and delivers

Fantastic experience: Elgin is a fantastic instructor and a super nice guy! Always had relaxed and enjoyable lessons with him and passed my test on the first attempt! Couldn't recommend highly enough 5*

Fantastic experience: Elgin was a great instructor. I went to Elgin having already attempted (and failed) a test with another instructor and he was brilliant at helping me to improve my driving across the board (especially my parking which needed some help!). He was very patient and professional and explained everything clearly. I passed in West Wickham and would highly recommend him as a teacher for anyone looking to learn in an automatic.

Fantastic experience: 5 Star service all the way through! I thoroughly enjoyed all of my driving lessons, even with the stop/start due to Covid restrictions. Elgin is professional, patient and very knowledgeable (with a great sense of humour). He gave me the confidence to believe I was a capable driver and with his expertise, I passed my test first time! I would 100 % recommend EL's driving school to everyone! X

Fantastic experience: Elgin is an absolutely brilliant instructor. He worked with me in between the lockdowns and I'm very proud to say, he prepped me to pass on my first attempt. He looks out for the detail and ensures you practise your weaker points more and he will encourage you to trust yourself when he can see you're ready.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend EL's driving school. Elgin was my first and only driving instructor and I passed my practical test first time! Elgin is very friendly, patient, supportive, and you can count on him to help you pass. He also has a great sense of humour too Elgin, will always ask you what you feel you need to focus on which I feel is I super important because it's about you and what you feel you need to work on to be more confident while driving. So get booking!! ✅

Fantastic experience: EL's Driving school has been such a blessing in this last year. Passed on my first go and it was hands down due to Elgin. He is caring, a good communicator and is very passionate about driving well, which he is teaching his students to do. He instils good driving habits and makes sure you are comfortable and ready for your test. Can absolutely recommend. Thumbs up!

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test yesterday, thanks to EL's driving school. I had a great experience with EL's driving school. So I recommend this driving school to any learner.

Fantastic experience: Elgin was a top drawer instructor. Super experienced, very patient, calm and provided lots of great tips that ensured I passed first time! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to pass their driving test.

Fantastic experience: First time successful! Elgin is a professional and a thorough instructor. He observed my driving and he picked up on the areas that I was struggling with. My major problems were observations and signalling. He drilled me and he polished me. Also, he knows what the examiners are looking for and he prepared me well enough to impress the examiners. He is no time waster and I would strongly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I had many previous instructors but definitely felt I learnt so much more with Elgin. He helped me improve my skills so much more. I was a nervous driver but El helped to build my confidence and I passed with all his knowledge & professionalism. I am so grateful & can’t recommend El Driving School enough!

Fantastic experience: Thank you for guiding me in passing my driving test.. Very professional and patient. I was equipped fully for my driving test by El which gave me loads of confidence. I surely recommend El’s driving school. Thank you!!!

Fantastic experience: I passed my test this week (first time) after just 2 weeks of lessons with Elgin. I was lucky to be able to book my test on the first day back after restrictions were lifted and Elgin made sure I was well prepared and felt confident. I'm an experienced driver and required a UK driving test, so I was happy when Elgin didn't try to get me to purchase more classes than necessary. He is punctual, friendly, clear with his instructions, and very experienced in the local area. Would highly recommend for any learner at any skill level.

Fantastic experience: I had two refresher lessons with Elgin as had been a while since I had passed my test. One of these was a motorway lesson which I had been nervous about as I hadn't driven faster than 30mph when I learnt in London. Elgin really helped put my mind at ease and we had 2 great lessons! I now have confidence driving at speed. Would highly recommend Elgin!

Fantastic experience: I passed first time today with 0 faults!! And its thanks to El that i did! It was such a pleasure to learn with him. He makes you feel comfortable, he’s professional and knows what he’s talking about. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time thanks to El. Fantastic teacher He knows what he’s talking about!!! Would highly recommend this service

Fantastic experience: I passed today and I felt so welcomed when I first started and you will get alone with the instructor and I recommend anyone to use els driving school .

Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor! Couldn’t recommend Elgin enough. I’ve had several instructors in the Bromley area, and reached a point where I had taken nearly a years worth of lessons with minimal progression. I then found El’s driving school’s details online. After a few lessons my confidence improved massively and I found I was understanding elements of driving that I had struggled with previously. I took my test after 15 lessons and finally passed. Delighted with the results!

Fantastic experience: El’s driving school was the best choice ever , i had recommended by a friend , and no regret it , very kind and friendly , very patient and professional , makes you feel confident , always on time , the car is a comfortable Golf , highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor, calm and patient. Made me feel really comfortable . Always on time and flexible when needing to change days and times. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I did 10 hours of lessons with Elgin before moving away and he was a brilliant instructor - always calm and patient and explained things very well. I have now passed first time and a lot of that was down to Elgin's teaching!

Fantastic experience: I have never left a review in my life, but having lessons with EL I must say he is the best, he provides very professional service. He gave me confidence and always encouraged me when I wanted to give up. What an amazing journey with the best instructor. He understood my driving methods and gave me consistent feedback on how to improve my driving when I did something wrong. Thank you El for all the support you gave me, helping me so much, for being so friendly even though I was the most annoying student. I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Chill guy who you can have a laugh with. Feedback is constructive and doesn't make you feel bad when you make a mistake which is important.

Fantastic experience: Even though I have been driving in Brazil for 10 years, I learned a lot with El`s. Actually, if I had continued having more lesson, I`d learn futher, because Els always teaches some new useful driving tip. Another important thing is about HOW El`s conduct the lessons, it`s not easy do it I think, but he is really good, he knows how to talk and deal with you, we had great conversation during my lessons, the lessons were very pleasant. So, the outcome couldn`t be different, I`ve passed. Thanks so much El`s.

Fantastic experience: Fully recommend to all - 5 stars ! * Always punctual * Patient and calm * Puts you at ease and explains fully * Lovely modern car * Great sense of humour * Fun to drive around with I did try a few other instructors but El definitely was the best and you won’t be disappointed and I fully recommend to all!!

Fantastic experience: Passed today first time, honestly the best instructor I could have asked for, patient, calm and fun whilst also telling you everything you need to know to build your skills and confidence.

Fantastic experience: I have never learned with a different instructor, so cannot really compare. However, Elgin delivers exactly what is promised on the website. Always patient and accurate, he never settles on the achieved. With him, the learner should be prepared to work hard every lesson; it will never be a simple boring driving around the block! I passed first time with one fault, and even that one was entirely due to my nerves. Do believe all five star reviews; if you are local to the area El's covers, look no further. I am looking forward to taking a Pass Plus course with Elgin! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Honestly El is a fantastic driving instructor and he’ll make sure you learning everything without wasting your time or money. My experience was awesome and I recommend him to everyone.

I can tell Elgin's got hell lot of experience being an instructor because he made me so confident in driving, I've had bad experience with instructors before but he would bring the best out of me, extremely patient and the BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER. I can proudly say I am going to be an excellent driver because of him! His rates were perfect for me as I'm a student. Even my sister is doing lessons with him, I will definately recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much Elgin.

Fantastic experience: Elgin rearranged his schedule to suit an exam I'd booked at very short notice.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to EL's driving school by my best friend. They helped me pass my driving test first time!

Fantastic experience: I went through several instructors and schools with poor service and instruction until I found El's driving school. They offered really reasonable prices and they actually taught me how to drive, rather than trying to rip me off for more lessons. These guys are well worth looking at and I highly recommend them!
