Driving Crawley: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a great driving instructor , he has been preparing me for my driving exam over the past few months and has been very supportive and has been able to work with my schedule. He was very patient , efficient and is the reason I passed recently I would recommend him to anyone who needs driving lessons
Fantastic experience: excellent!!!
Positive experience: Very professional, friendly and patient instructor. Always made to sure to focus on both my strengths and weaknesses in order to improve. Thankyou.
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a fantastic instructor who immediately put my son at ease and calmed his nerves. Each driving lesson was tailored specifically to my son's needs resulting in his confidence growing after each lesson and inevitably passing his driving test. I would recommend Laurence and will be using his services again when my younger son turns 17 later this year.
Fantastic experience: Laurence at Driving Crawley has proved that it is indeed possible to teach an old dog new tricks. I passed my driving test under his tuition today at 37 years old and I finally feel like a fully fledged adult! I’d bounced between instructors (4 in total), and it was Laurence who finally got me a pass. He’s articulate and communicative, clear in his instructions- encouraging his students to aim beyond their tests rather than at them.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing instructor, supportive, patient, dedicated. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing, helpful throughout every step
Fantastic experience: I’m very grateful that I found driving Crawley Laurence was a fantastic instructor, I started learning to drive during covid and the constant stop-start of driving lessons was very disruptive due to lockdowns. He was very patient with me make sure I was competent with an aspect of driving from moving onto another, earlier this week I thankfully passed and I couldn’t thank Laurence enough I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to pass their test!
Fantastic experience: Best instructor and have deep knowledge of UK high way codes
Fantastic experience: My driving journey started at the age of 33. Before meeting Laurence I was certain driving was not for me and I would never be able to do it. I must admit I really struggled with driving. Learning something from scratch is not easy and I am an overthinker. On top of that, I have awful memory and all the variables while driving didn’t help my case. But Laurence was always reassuring. He made the whole process smooth and natural, and would tailor the lessons to my needs. Once I learned how to drive, passing the test became an issue as I couldn’t manage my nerves and would make silly mistakes in test conditions. Laurence helped building up my confidence to make me feel ready for it. Laurence’s approach to driving and to learner’s wellbeing is commendable. He is a great instructor and I can’t recommend him enough. Laurence, thank you for not giving up on me :D Passing this test was one of my greatest achievements and you played a big part in it. Thank you for everything.
Fantastic experience: I had refresher lessons after not driving for almost 13 years and never driving in UK. Although I didn't have a test in the end Laurence not only thought me how to drive again but also he made sure I understand all the rules. Hi is very knowledgeable and informative. But most importantly Laurence is very patient. He looks for positives in every situation. I was super stress and nervous at the beginning but after having these lessons I'm happy to drive on my way. I would highly recommend Laurence to anyone! Thank you again!
Fantastic experience: Laurence is an amazing driving instructor. I hold a foreign driving license and needed to take the test to get a UK driving license. He has been very patient and knowledgeable to not only help me get test ready but also improve me as a driver overall and making me safer on the road. 10/10 highly recommend. I passed the test on my first attempt with his guidance.
Fantastic experience: Just a big thank you! You are obviously a great driving instructor,my daughter acquired good driving skills and gain enough confidence and knowledge to pass first time !!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience with patience and heart! Thanks Laurence for giving me the guidance all the way to my success in passing the driving exam!!! His videos in youtube are extremely useful for revision and attention to the driving exam!
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor. Very patient and explains things well. Passed my test first time and these lessons no doubt helped my confidence on the day.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, Laurence is very calm and collected which makes you reduces the pressure when you're learning - would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Watched the video and it helped with my hazard perception. Scored 66/75. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Really good. Passed first time, very calm and patient. Taught me how to drive rather than just pass a test. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: This ytube channel is a gift for new learner driver in crawley and neighbours area. I will recommend subscribe, share with your friend and family members. Regards
Fantastic experience: Recently passed my part 3 instructors exam with a lot of help and guidance from Laurence. Very calm approach and helping reach the standards to teach. Thanks for your help Laurence. See you on the roads
Fantastic experience: Really helpful YouTube videos, helped me pass my theory test first time. Highly recommended for anyone struggling with revision!
Fantastic experience: The video posted helped me a lot I shared it to all my friends so that they can all pass first time to save money
Fantastic experience: This guys YouTube video helped me pass my theory test first try! Not all heroes wear capes
Fantastic experience: He helped me pass my theory test. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: I started my lessons with Laurence after my first fail, and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have passed without him! He is very patient and very good on pointing the areas for improvement but also the good achievements of the day! I would definitely recommend him to everyone who is looking for a great instructor for their driving lessons :) the videos that he has on youtube are also very helpful!
Fantastic experience: I live in the UK for 2 years. I have a driving license from Turkey but it does not work in the UK. There are many differences between Roads in Turkey and the Uk. When I called Driving Crawley (Laurance) I said I need to get my full Uk driving license in 5 months as I promised for my visa to stay in the Uk. He did help me a lot. His methods are really good. I got my full Uk license thanks to Driving Crawley.
Fantastic experience: Laurence was there every step of the way helping me progress through driving. He is helpful, calm and gives you chance after chance to practice your mistakes and learn how to improve. He has helped me gain confidence and given me such valuable knowledge as I enter the world of driving. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I had Laurence as my trainer to become an ADI. I can say I really enjoyed his lessons and teaching style he is very carm and has a great knowledge on training a PDI. I passed all my tests and can say I honestly couldn't have done it without him. I would recommend Laurence to teach a beginner learner and PDI's.
Fantastic experience: By watching your videos its helped me alot with my part 1 and 2 Adi your instructions are great and easy to understand and apply to my tests Thank you 10/10
Fantastic experience: Very useful and informative channel. Information is well-laid out and clearly presented, making it very easy to understand. I have learnt so much in a very short space of time!
Fantastic experience: After not driving for around 7 years Laurence made it very comfortable for me to get back on the road was very patient and understanding and would recommend him to anyone who wants to start learning or would like refreshers!
Fantastic experience: Laurence is amazing! Extremely helpful, patient and friendly throughout the lessons we had. Super observant and always highlighting areas for improvement but also things that have gone well. Both of which greatly improved my confidence throughout and after passing. He always encouraged asking questions and took the time to answer them fully, whether that was through demonstration/showing examples in the lessons or via email/text. I absolutely would not have passed my test without him and feel very prepared in driving going forwards which is absolutely down to Laurence and his lessons! His YouTube videos are also very informative and a great way to refresh on things as well as prepare for both the theory and practical tests. Fantastic instructor and would 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Laurence very kindly took me on after my first failed test with another instructor. He helped improve my confidence, my speed choices and understanding of gears. Laurance aways looks at the positives and encouraged me "not to spill the tea" (going to fast and not give yourself time to think.) Laurence is a great instructor ensuring that you drive safely and responsibly. Tailoring the lessons to you, and your individual learning style making sure it clicks in your head. The youtube videos that Laurence produces really helped in reinforcing the lessons and general understanding of the Crawley area. I passed my test and am very grateful to Laurence for his guidance and patience.
Thank you for the nice review :-)
Fantastic experience: I have watched this video's before my driving lessons and it helps me to take right decisions also boost my confidence in driving, thanks for the videos.
Thank you, glad the videos help.
Fantastic experience: Started learning with Laurence when I didn't even know how to move a car, let alone drive one safely. Together we navigated the pandemic taking it stage by stage all the way up to me passing last Thursday! I couldn't be more grateful for how patient and reassuring he was as an instructor. His YouTube channel under the same name is also incredibly helpful and informative. Through lessons and copious binges of his channel, I got there! Thank you Driving Crawley!
Fantastic experience: Laurence was a great driving instructor and he helped me to pass my test 1st time. He would always ask me what I thought needed improving and always helped me with those things and by the end of the lesson I would feel more confident in those areas. Laurence was also incredibly helpful in the way that he very clearly cared how well I was doing in my personal driving at home, he would send links and find out as much information as possible for me. He was also always ready with an answer when I had a question and explained everything very well so that I had a good understanding. He was always very kind and patient with me. I would highly recommend Laurence as an instructor.
Fantastic experience: Laurence is an amazing instructor, not only was he very informative and understanding within our lessons, but he also handled everything very calmly and focussed on the positive parts and gave great feedback to improve and work on my skills out side of lessons. I would recommend him if you're looking to not just pass, but pass confidently, I passed my test with 0 faults and it's all because of Laurence and his teaching methods.
Fantastic experience: After failing multiple times last year, I thought of reaching out to Laurence. I have been watching his YouTube videos since last year and have always found them extremely helpful. So, in December 2019, I requested him for his availability. Luckily, he was available from February 2020 and I started taking lessons from him. And I can say that, it was the best move in this long journey. Laurence focused on my weak areas and always tried to bring positivity to the whole experience as previous failures had left me on a very low confidence and self-esteem. Although, I knew how to drive, he helped me become a better and safer driver. He is very friendly, patient and never gets frustrated on asking the same questions many times or doing repetitive mistakes. I very much admire his way of focusing on positives over the negatives. It has helped me tremendously in changing my mindset so that I don’t dwell upon the mistakes, but rather work on improving them, using unique and creative ideas. He gave me small challenges in every lesson to get better in what I was struggling. The lessons were never mundane and always adjusted according to the needs to improve my driving. I would highly recommend Laurence to anyone who is planning to learn or improve their driving skills. For sure, you will not be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Laurence was a great instructor. He was friendly, helpful and above all patient. He was always coming up with new ways to teach me things until I was happy with it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thanks Laurence for helping me pass first time.
Fantastic experience: I am so delighted to have passed my driving test first time with only 3 minors, and I can confidently say that this was thanks to Laurence. I was very nervous during my first few lessons but Laurence helped me to feel in control and safe. He is professional, very calm, patient and easy to get on with (very important when spending many hours in a car together!) Laurence is an excellent teacher, I really benefited from the exercises and demonstrations used to reinforce a concept I was struggling with. He was always up to date with my progress and knew exactly what I needed to do next to move forward. My understanding was hugely enhanced by watching footage recorded on the dash cam from just moments before. Also, Laurence made great use of his iPad through diagrams and footage to cover the theory before putting it into action. I highly recommend his Youtube channel which ultimately saves time during lessons and helps with local test routes. I really admire Laurence’s dedication to his students, ensuring that they become skilful and safe drivers. Thank you Laurence!!
Fantastic experience: Laurence is very good. The best driving Instructer we can find in Crawley. He was actually my second instructor. I left the first one after 10 classes as he was dragging a lot. But I was totally happy about Laurence approach. He was not just following the regular pattern of teaching. He shaped the classes in a way to improve on the things which I was weak and really diggs in to the root cause of the problem to avoid the mistake. By the use driving app in iPad and real-time cameras the lessons was truly an amazing experience.
Thank you Sudeep
Fantastic experience: Excellent and extraordinary driving instructor! Laurence is one of a kind!! He surpassed all my expectations and he didn’t only go an extra mile, but he went the second mile with his insightful knowledge on driving, the third mile with his intelligent “what if.... this happened? how would you approach this? “ questions that would challenge your driving understanding, the fourth mile with his patience, dedication and ability to develop a personalised session, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh mile and so on! He is always on the road! I was previously taught by a different driving instructor and after failing my first driving test, I realised that I was fed with memorising the test routes instead of actually developing the driving skills to approach any kind of road! I was not confident at all when I had my first driving test and my passion for driving was somehow maimed! I contacted Laurence because I have been following the amazing content he routinely uploads on his YouTube channel Driving Crawley - I did not have high hopes that I could get lessons with him but luckily he was available and my journey towards loving driving again, developing the right skills and understanding were ignited! His lessons have always been relaxing, really enjoying and the confidence he conveys is more than unique! Plus he has amazing gadgets in his car - all the driving you do is recorded so you can go back and see your mistake...literally on the spot on his tablet :) besides of all the simulations he shows you in different driving situations. On my second driving test, I felt really peaceful, confident in my skills and ready to pick up that blue certificate in my hands!! What a big difference from my first driving test attitude! Thank you Laurence, I couldn’t be more grateful :)) #bestdrivinginstructor
Fantastic experience: Laurence was awesome. He is very patient and never hesitates to explain any questions you have. He made sure I correct all my driving issues by showing the footage of my driving after each class and also making me practice thoroughly by going through similar roads often in other classes. I recommend him 100%. BTW, I passed the test first time!
Fantastic experience: Very good driving instructor I passed 8 years ago and lost my licence within my first 2 years went to laurence after 7 years of nothe driving after reading load's of positive reviews was not disappointed very good driving instructor very knowledgeable and a brilliant teacher if you want to have the best chances of passing I would recommend him to any one taught me so much more than I ever new when I first passed my test and feel like I no much moreally about the roads the videos he provides on his YouTube channel are also very helpful and are worth watching to help you along the way passed first time with 1 minor fault . Thank you laurence 5 stars Ricki.
Fantastic experience: I had refresher lessons as I needed to drive a manual car after 10+years driving an automatic. Lawrence is amazing he really understands his pupils and helps them address any fears they have. Highly recommend him
Negative experience: Bad experience. Instructor will try to teach very slowly in order to take as much cash from you as he can.
Sorry do not know who Sam is. But things will be taught to ensure you understand it so that when you pass your test you have all the skills you need to be a safe and confident driver.
Fantastic experience: I found Laurence for my son after various failed attempts at finding a suitable instructor. My son is autistic and needed a patient, understanding and supportive but firm and fair instructor. Laurence is exactly that!! He taught my son with ease. My son absolutely loved being taught by Laurence. Nothing was to much trouble or difficult. His knowledge, expertise and patience is second to none! My son has just passed his test thanks to Laurence from driving Crawley! We all can’t thank him enough. He’s that great we’ve now got him teaching our daughter! Can’t recommend Laurence and driving Crawley enough. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: A Dedicated Driving Instructor !! Laurence helped me regain my lost confidence, patiently corrected my driving mistakes and was flexible in scheduling my driving lessons. Thanks to Laurence for helping me pass the driving test.
Fantastic experience: Laurence is an exceptionally talented driving instructor who is always able to give clear and concise explanations and feedback. The main goal of lessons was not only to pass the test but also to ensure that I'd become a good driver. Lessons started promptly and were varied with lots of different teaching techniques employed. An added bonus was that lessons were always flexible based on my availability. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: A fantastic driving instructor. I had a small window into which I needed to fit learning to drive, which made Laurence’s flexibility, punctuality and reliability a massive advantage. Always patient and meticulous in explanation, Laurence’s approach quickly allowed me to realise how to address faults and avoid them in the future. I would definitely recommend Laurence and Driving Crawley.
Fantastic experience: Laurence was an exceptional driving instructor! As an American expat, I came to Laurence with experience in driving a car (albeit with some bad habits that had to be unlearned) but complete confusion over the UK road system, signs, and rules. He was very patient with me and had a variety of tools and instructional techniques to adapt to my learning style. His blog and YouTube videos were a useful aid in review and last minute revising before my driving test. In addition, Laurence was very organized and punctual. I picked Laurence due to all of the glowing reviews on google and it was absolutely the correct choice! I passed the test yesterday on my first attempt, thanks to Laurence :-)
Thank you :-)
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor, I would recommend 100%. Laurence teaches you to drive safely and provides good resources with his blog and YouTube videos to prepare you for the test. He is very helpful and teaches you everything you need to know to not just pass the test but to drive confidently and safely on your own afterwards. He is extremely helpful, patient, friendly, and knows how to get the best out of you. I passed my test with only 3 minors and I now feel confident and prepared for driving by myself. He talks about areas that you have performed well in to improve your confidence while also talking through areas to improve. You learn everything you need to know about driving including all types of roads, road signs, rules at junctions/roundabouts, stop signs, one-way roads, and so much more! Always on time and professional, very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and very patient. Laurence is amazing at his job. I have had other driving instructors and can safely say that he is by far the best. I started learning to drive 3 years ago and I'd lost my confidence but after a few lessons with Laurence I noticed a massive improvement. Thank you Laurence for helping me to get my driving licence and giving me the confidence and knowledge to drive safely! :) 5 star driving instructor!!
Fantastic experience: best instructor in the world i could not recommend anyone else. passed my test with only 3 minors and i felt so confident when going out and driving on my own afterwards Laurence is exceptional in a way that he dont just prepares you for the test but the actual driving after you have passed your test. reasonable priced and very good value not to mention that he is very flexible and patient as never got angry when i would make the same mistakes. Thanks a lot Laurence would have not passed without you!
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a excellent driving instructor, a few lessons and passed first time!! Highly recommended thank you again.
Fantastic experience: 5 Stars Instructor. He is helpful, patient and very kind. He turned this whole experience of getting a driving licence stress free. I am thankful and happy. Today I passed my test with 0 mistake! Thank you Laurence for everything.
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a fantastic driving instructor. He's always calm and never judgemental. He also takes great pains to explain the theory of driving in a thorough but practical way and adapted himself brilliantly to my specific learning needs.
Fantastic experience: Works really well. Helps out on areas where not confident and is an all round ideal instructor.
Fantastic experience: Very good instructor. Was very patient and understanding. Youtube videos were very helpful in understanding roundabouts. Always on time. Nothing bad to say. Great job.
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a very patient and friendly driving instructor. He makes sure every weak point in Driving is turned into a strength by contanstly working on those areas. He is very professional, always on time and uses various learning aids suitable to the learner. Laurence offers many practical tips that are useful both on the test and during normal driving. I totally recommend Laurence to anyone planning to take Driving lessons - you won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Laurence was a very good driving instructor, he explained everything very well and he was very patient. Excellent at his job, definitely would recommend to everyone who want to pass their driving test and become a good and safe driver.
Fantastic experience: Well, they say in this country that an “old dog cannot learn new tricks”. On the top of my 40’s I was truly convinced that the quote was true. I came from a country where the percentages of cars accidents are huge. Growing up in such environment listening and seeing news related to deaths because of unsafe driving has developed in me a huge driving phobia. The simply idea of being behind the steering wheel was simply unthinkable. But, inside, I knew I had to change that, I wanted to have a go, I needed to have it done... Could I still do it?! At my work place I was the only one who could not drive. I have lost so many good opportunities for not knowing how to drive. I truly believe that doing driving lessons with Laurence Jacquemin was the best thing I did. His level of patience and commitment is simply amazing. I was very nervous and not confident at all. But, during all my lessons, even when I no longer believing in myself, Laurence always had an encouragement word to say or an advice to give. His level of professionalism is simply amazing. From now on, every time you hear that opening quote again, disregard it at all, at least when the subject is driving. If I, on the top of my 44- year- old was able to pass my driving test first time, despite all the odds and insecurities, you can do it! Laurence jacquemin will help you to do that! Thanks, Laurence!

Fantastic experience: When I started driving lessons with Driving Crawley, I was fairly new to Crawley (and its roundabouts!!), after moving from Haywards Heath. My driving instructor in HH was okay, but when I moved to Crawley, I continued with my lessons with another local instructor, who made me feel that I cannot be trusted behind the wheel, to say the least. I really can’t thank Laurence from Driving Crawley enough for where I am today with driving! And today, I am SO glad that I started to learn to drive again with Driving Crawley. Laurence is very professional, knowledgeable, resourceful, patient, and supportive (and I can go on!) He is dedicated to teaching driving, this is evident during lessons and in his use of tools/resources, blogs and vlogs. He has helped me build my confidence in driving back up again, and reassured and supported me when I was losing the will to carry on! I cannot stretch enough that I will not have been where I am today in driving, if it wasn’t for Driving Crawley and Laurence, be it: the way he personalises my learning; the way he understands my strengths and weaknesses with driving and focuses on them each lesson; or the way he adapts his teaching techniques to suit my ways of learning. I have very briefly been through the reviews which the Driving Crawley received on Facebook and in here, and I totally relate to every single one of them, and couldn’t agree more! I would HIGHLY recommend Laurence to anyone who is wants to be a safer, confident driver!
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Driving Crawley and my instructor, Laurence, highly enough! He is very expirienced, patient, supportive and most important, very proffessional. He would analyze my weak points and think of strategies and best practices to strengten them, staying completely focused on every detail during every lesson. I belive he can work with anyone and teach them how to be a good driver. It took me only 30 lessons from being new to the UK way of driving to passing my test with only one minor. Thank you Laurence!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Laurence for helping me pass the driving test in first attempt. A quick summary of my experience with Laurence. 1. Punctual: Always on time and had no cancellations. 2. Patient: Talks through your faults & areas of improvement calmly. 3. Practice: Covers Built-up areas, Town Center, Slip roads, Dual Carriageways, Spiral roundabouts, Country roads and busy car parks during practice lessons. 4. Professional: Very knowledgeable and this is evident from his blogs and videos. During lessons, Laurence clearly explains the impact of the fault and what can be done to avoid the fault.
Fantastic experience: I found Laurence on Google, after reading reviews.I didn't know anyone that had learnt with him.I'm so glad I decided to start learning again, after 6 months of not driving. My previous instructor made me feel useless and that i'd never pass. Laurence always encouraged an 'I can' attitude. At times I struggled with certain things. Gear change, hill starts etc, to name a few. Laurence helped me work through these issues, calmly and never once made me feel useless. I found the use of the interactive apps on Laurence's Ipad and looking back at manoeuvres from the dash cam, incredibly helpful. Also, the use of YouTube links and Laurences Driving page. After a few months of lessons, I managed to pass FIRST TIME!! I was shocked because I had a family loss just 2 weeks before my test and the funeral 2 days after, so my mind was distracted. I put this down to Laurence's hard work and positive attitude. I highly recommend Driving Crawley! Thank you Laurence!
Fantastic experience: I started lessons with Laurence having no previous experience and was quickly feeling comfortable on the roads thanks to his patience and good advice. He pinpoints what went well and what needs improving at the end of each lesson so you know what you need to work on which allowed me to pass first time! Laurence will make you a safe and confident driver, strongly recommend.
Positive experience: When I wanted to learn to drive in the UK, I was hunting for a reliable driving school with relatively new car for the training, friendly at the same time a firm driving instructor and someone locally in Crawley. This is when I came across Driving Crawley. I did have over 15 years of driving experience in India and the USA, but like any country, following the rules of the land is very important. Lowrance my driving instructor from Driving Crawley impressed me in the first instance. He respects the time and being on time to pick me up for my driving class was the very first impression on Lowrance. He first learnt about my driving skills and then created a lessons plan to suite my availability and needs. I had to unlearn my bad habits which I picked over the years and learn the right way of driving. Lowrance is very keen to help us pick the right skills and his knowledge on how the actual driving test would happen really helped me prepare for for the test. One important factor in learning to drive is also the car that is used to learn and for the test. I have never faced a situation where the car had any technical issue. The car is also equipped with a car to review our driving on need basis. Overall a great learning experience and great preparation to PASS the test and also the skills that we pick goes a long way in being a safe driver on the road, for us, for our family and for the other road users. Thanks Lowrance for your help and support.
Fantastic experience: Choosing Laurence as my driving instructor was the best decision I could take. He helps me a lot being confident with myself and shows me everything that he knows about driving and rules. He is so patient and you can't ask for more. I took the licence second time but let's say being nervous doesn't helps to much:)). Thank you , Laurence. He realy is the best instructor!! :)
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a very very good instructor with lots of experience, helps you with any issues or concerns you may have and calms you before your test to make sure you know what will be involved and whats included within the test. Helped me pass first time! thanks Laurence.
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a fantastic, modern driving instructor, he's easy-going and accommodating, reliable and certainly the cheapest in Crawley. He is a breath of fresh air compared to my previous instructor who was oppressive and wanted everything done his way - Laurence will help you to find your own style and give you the confidence you need. His car has HD cameras front and back connected to an iPad to review all sorts of situations/fails and help you learn from your mistakes. His website/blog has loads of useful information and tips, he publishes videos on YouTube to help you navigate some of Crawley's tougher roundabouts and junctions. He can and will help you with every aspect of theory and practical tests including rescheduling/cancellations - I can't recommend him enough.
Fantastic experience: Started learning to drive with Laurence after a few breaks and failed attempts at my driving test. In 6 months Laurence helped me develop my skills into becoming a confident driver. He is patience, has a calm approach to teaching and always punctual. I passed my driving test today with Laurence first time with only 2 minors. Thanks again Laurence for all your help
Fantastic experience: I went in with 0 on-road experience to being fully confident in my own driving. Thanks to my time with Laurence I felt very calm and relaxed on the road and managed to pass my test first time. Laurence is a great teacher and very observant as he is able to pinpoint your weaknesses after every lesson, so you'll know exactly what you'll need to improve next time. Above all I had fun learning with Laurence and he made the lessons both feel enjoyable and challenging. So once again thank you Laurence, I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.
Fantastic experience: I passed my exam for the second try but I could have done it for the first. I was just too nervous but Laurence helped me to cope with it. He told me how to ease the pressure and I took his advice and it worked. He gave me back my confidence in driving. The confidence I lost with my previous instructor. I did not feel safe at a car's wheel after I gave up learning for the first try but Laurence helped me and I enjoyed learning to drive with him. He's patient, gives you feedback and guidance and he lets you learn from your own mistakes. He's really calm too which is a great help when you do something wrong. I can only recommend him. Great instructor.
Fantastic experience: Laurence is a great teacher and tailors each lesson around you and your skill level. After coming from another instructor, Laurence helped me get back on my feet and pass. During the lessons he asks what you think you need to do and suggests thing that he has seen, that you might improve on. He also builds your confidence up a lot and helps you become more positive about driving. He was committed and went above and beyond to help me pass. Laurence is a great teacher to have and I highly recommend him as your instructor.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Laurence! You have been a big help in me passing my test!!! Nicest instructor and patient with my frustrations. Whoop whoop!!!!
Negative experience: What a waste of time. Will try to milk as much money from you as possible. You could easily find a better instructor.
Hi Spongebob, I am assuming that is not your real name. Would you be kind enough to leave your genuine name otherwise I am lead to suspect this is a fake review. My other reviews, from people who gave real names, seems to say very much the opposite to your 'review'. Kind regards, Laurence.
Fantastic experience: It had been 7 years since the last time I tried to learn to drive. I was very nervous but Laurence was extremely patient and calm, he put me at ease almost immediately. He is a very friendly, professional instructor and he really helped build my confidence. Laurence adapted his lessons to suit me and taught me in such a way that I understood what I needed to do. When I made mistakes, he talked me through what I'd done wrong and how to avoid making the same errors in the future. Thanks to Laurence I passed my test first time!! I would highly recommend Laurence to anyone wanting to learn to drive, specially for those who are very nervous as he is very relaxed and calm. Thanks again Laurence :)
Fantastic experience: I started lessons with Laurence after a 2 year break from learning to drive. I'd previously found driving lessons stressful and was low on confidence. It was pretty clear after the 1st few lessons that he was different from my previous instructor and was keen on building my confidence on the road rather than scolding me for my mistakes. I wouldn't have passed my test or enjoy driving if I hadn't learned from someone who was willing to encourage me to improve. I would definitely recommend Laurence as an instructor. He'll definitely make you a confident driver.
Fantastic experience: I started my lessons with Laurence after a 5 year gap and two failed tests and not a lot of confidence, but I instantly knew that my lessons with Laurence would lead to a pass. He is a patient instructor who tailors every lesson to your specific requirements, with the aim of teaching you how to drive in a way which works for you, and not just how to pass your test. I passed the first test I took with Laurence and was confident I would do so thanks to his style of teaching, I can not recommend him enough, thanks again!
Fantastic experience: very helpfull instructor. thing's explained in a way its easy to understand no problem's would recommend to anyone passed first time with driving crawley :)
Fantastic experience: Brilliant Instructor, I started with Laurence with no prior experience and he was able to talk me through all aspects of driving allowing me to develop my knowledge. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to drive as he helps with not only the practical elements but the theory also.
Fantastic experience: Laurence's sole focus is on you as a learner, each lesson built on the one before and targeted specific area's as discussed prior to each lesson. It really is targeted on the area's you feel you need to work on as Laurence won't rush or push you too fast. Laurence is a laid back instructor and makes you think about all the different variables or scenarios that could crop up and allows you to make a decision for yourself after discussing the different outcomes. I would reccomend Laurence to anyone as he gives the confidence that is needed when learning to drive but also the patience which is also needed. Once again thankyou Laurence for giving me the tools and confidence to pass my test first time!
Fantastic experience: I did 13 lessons with Lawrence and passed first time. He never made me feel pressured and always gave great hints and tips while still having a laugh. I would definitely recommend to anyone!.
Fantastic experience: Once again Laurence thanks for helping me pass my driving test first time. It has been a pleasure being taught by Laurence, he is a very patient and calm instructor, and can explain where you have gone wrong in a way easy to understand which makes it a lot easier to learn from your mistakes. I would highly recommend Laurence, Driving Crawley, to anybody looking to learn to drive as he allows you to learn at your own pace.
Fantastic experience: Great teacher, very patient and understanding. Laurence always tailored the lessons around what I wanted to improve on and helped me assess what I was doing well and not so well after every lesson. With his help I passed first time. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: It was an absolute pleasure being taught by Laurence. from the first moment he made me feel very safe in the case that i made any mistakes and also instilled a lot of confidence in me which was my problem, i wasn't very confident having been with a few other instructors in the same area but as i said before, Laurence was very good at naturally giving me the confidence too drive. now that i have passed my driving test the attention to driving safely that Laurence instilled in me i will carry on and i would highly recommend Laurence to anyone!!
Fantastic experience: Laurence is an incredible teacher. He customized a plan for me to pass my driver's test on the first attempt. In addition to what he taught me during our driving lessons, he made himself available to answer questions via email and phone. This was very helpful between lessons while I was out practicing on the road. He is very responsive, always prompt, and dependable. These are behaviors I seek when learning something as important as driving safety. I felt I got my money's worth working with Laurence and recommend him to new drivers as well as experienced drivers moving to UK from another country.
Fantastic experience: Thank you again Laurance for making me pass my driving test recently. Laurance is professional and an exellent instructor. He taught me in a very calm and clear way and always explained why or when l needed to do something.He was very petient. Every time when I did a mistake, he explained the correct way of doing it and took me rides until I do it correctly. I have learnt so many skills and what I like is that Laurence will show you how to do things in real life situations like parking in a busy car park. He ensured a safe and friendly environment to learn in and he was always on time. l will always have Laurence to thank for being a good instuctor and making me pass my driving test and I would highly recommend Driving Crawley with Laurence as a driving instructor.
Fantastic experience: I had a great time learning to drive with driving Crawley. Laurence is an amazing teacher, so incredibly patient and understanding. Instead of just telling you what you've done wrong he gets you to think about it so you can learn from your own mistakes. If I felt unsure about anything I always felt I could ask either in or out lessons. Thanks to driving Crawley I passed my test first time and will be forever grateful to Laurence for his hard work and patience.
