Pole Position Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: A massive thanks to Pole Position Driving School and Alex for getting me through my test, Alex was a great instructor and provided me with the information and experience that I needed to pass my test first time whilst also being great to learn alongside. 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: I just want to Thank Tony for teaching me how to drive a car. He is very patient, helpful and great at giving explanations. I loved his way of teaching and I would highly recommend Tony. Thank you for making me pass the exam in first attempt.
Fantastic experience: 100% recommend. All instructors are kind, calm, and patient. I had quite a few lessons (my own choice) and passed first time with Rob as my instructor. Could not fault him!
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test First time which is a real shocker due to how nervous I was! However, having Tony as my instructor made it easier than I could've imagined! Couldn't have done it without him and made me feel super comfortable and extremely supported! Thank you for everything and helping me make a new start on life!
Thanks so much for your kind words and thanks for choosing us Fantastic achievement, well done
Fantastic experience: Rob was excellent from the beginning. We have a daughter who loves cars and has loved driving on her provisional licence, but just needed that expert tuition to help her in ways that we were not able, and get her safely through her test. Along came Rob and Mario and ticked all the boxes. Fun car, friendly and encouraging instructor and a great experience all round. Thanks to all those things, a first time pass and a happy young lady. Thanks Rob
Thank so much for your kind comments, I'm so pleased she enjoyed her experience and what a fantastic result! ⭐
Fantastic experience: Tony is a very good instructor I would highly recommend him, because he’s very patient and would explain everything in various different ways, English is not my first language and he was great at delivering the message all the time to me. He is also very supportive and encouraging. I have tried many instructors but he was the best one out of all of them. Thank you Tony
Thanks Nour it's been a pleasure working with you
Fantastic experience: Thank you Pole Position especially Troy for all of your support and assistance and for enduring me over the last eight months. I would highly recommend them as a driving school.
Thanks Beth, congratulations to a superb result
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Rob from Pole Position was a fantastic experience. He has this incredible ability to make you feel comfortable right from the start, turning what could be a stressful process into something genuinely enjoyable. I came from riding motorcycles and Rob helped transfer my knowledge I had into the car. Rob is patient and genuinely cares about helping you understand the ins and outs of driving, and he explains things in a way that just clicks. Every lesson felt like a huge step forward, and his encouragement really boosted my confidence. If you’re looking to learn with someone who’s not only skilled but also fun and down-to-earth, Rob from Pole Position is the one!
George, thank you so much for the kind words. It was a genuine please to work with you! Thanks again for choosing us to help you
Fantastic experience: Tony from pole position helped ease my anxieties with a natural caring and understanding nature about him, he taught me how to drive and park in ways that are smart and efficient as well as safe, and made me enjoy driving again. If it wasn't for Tony I wouldn't be on the road! Thank you Tony

Well done Fraser, fantastic drive and thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Really really incredible, I passed first time with Rob in a manual car and he was brilliant I wouldn’t have been able to do it without him. He made sure to make every lesson feel really relaxed and helped me the whole way through my learning with any concerns I had. I one hundred percent recommend him for anyone wanting to learn to drive!!!
Well done Nicki, thanks so much for the kind words
Fantastic experience: I recommend Toney because he is a really good and friendly guy and a good friend. He is a great teacher he has taught me everything I know. He tries to explain everything that you are unsure of I have recently just passed my driving test thanks to him. He is one of those that teach you what you need and what you want and doesn't go on for ages but explains a way so you understand so I just want to thank you.
Well done Monika! Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for choosing us

Thanks Joshua, fantastic pass and thanks for the kind words
Fantastic experience: Troy was a miracle worker getting my daughter to pass first time. He was so friendly, flexible and supportive. Can't speak highly enough of him. Downside from his point of view is next child on way to him...so round 2...victim of his own success i guess....
Thanks Ben, been an absolute pleasure and thanks for choosing us
Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor. Highly recommend!

He was always calm during teaching and was always ready to clear any doubts I had. Really helped me improve my driving. Thank you thank you Tony for your help.
Thanks Arjun, congratulations on a great result
Fantastic experience: Without a doubt Tony is the one you want as your teacher. I know everyone is saying that about their driving instructors, but personally I hit the jackpot meeting and learning with him. I was such a scared , nervous train wreck But with his guidance and care I’ve passed within first time. That speaks for itself. Right? So if you are like me , definitely give a call and see it for yourself. Thank you so so much for all your guidance and help true out my journey. I couldn’t do it without you.
Inga thank you so much for your kind words! We happen to agree, his really is a diamond we are lucky to have
Fantastic experience: my time with rob was great couldn’t have asked for a better instructor we done a week of long hard hours as that’s what i needed due to working he was so helpful working around me, he was very helpful and spotted things wrong with my driving that not many would be able to and knew exactly how to fix it if you want to get threw your test 1st time like myself i really would recommend pole position driving school (Rob)
Thanks so much Brad, much appreciated and It was a pleasure to work with you
Negative experience: Driving instructor does not understand disabled parking bays. Parked up for 30 mins, no blue badge, joined by able bodied student who walked briskly and capably to the vehicle. No blue badge was displayed. Disabilities can be invisible, but their is the regulatory requirement to display the badge.
Hi Victoria, thank you for your review, the driving instructor in question infact has a prosthetic leg and is authorised to use this area. Not all disabilities are visible unfortunately, appearing able bodied doesn't mean people don't suffer disabilities. Blue badge was on display but cannot be seen in the picture. We kindly ask you remove your review as it is detrimental to our small business. Kind regards, Pole Position Driving School
Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test on the first try, and I couldn't have done it without my amazing driving instructor, Tony! After struggling with a manual car and feeling anxious about driving, I decided to switch to automatic and found Tony through a friend. This was the best decision I could have made. Tony was incredibly patient, understanding, and supportive throughout the entire process. He really took the time to help me manage my anxiety and build my confidence on the road. His calm and encouraging approach made all the difference, and I always felt comfortable and safe during our lessons. If you're looking for a driving instructor who truly cares about your success and will help you overcome any challenges, I highly recommend Tony. Thanks to him, I'm now a confident driver!!
Thank you Gabbie!! Congratulations
Fantastic experience: Alex is the best driving instructor you could ask for. Made me feel relaxed confident and taught me the right way to drive. Incredibly patient. Could not recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Tony is an absolute legend! Couldn't do it without him....literally. I was very nervous, especially with the practice lessons prior to the test and made very silly mistakes along the way. He has an amazingly positive personality which also helps the lesson go smoothly, and less stressful when trying to learn and he's taught me how to become confident in what I'm doing, including becoming a safe driver. Tony kept me calm, "remember to breath" he always to me and I've passed my test today first time with NO MINORS! Will miss the little chats during lessons. I'd 10000% recommend Tony....he's the best!

Thank you Animesh!! So pleased for you
Fantastic experience: After a poor experience with a different instructor I reached out to Pole Position Driving School and was very quickly assigned to Alex. I failed my first test, I put it down to nerves, and then took a break from driving to focus on my A-Levels. Alex was very accommodating of this and was always willing to try and fit me in to his schedule. I'd highly recommend Pole Position to any students. Alex is an incredible driving instructor! His patience, expertise, and personalized approach made learning to drive a breeze. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and helped me pass my test with ease. If you're looking for a fantastic driving instructor, Alex is the one! Thank you, Alex and Pole Position Driving School!

Thanks Freddie, you were a pleasure to work with and I know you will be safe out there on your own. Genuinely a lovely guy and I'm proud to have been able to help you, Rob
Fantastic experience: Highly highly recommend Rob as a driving instructor. I learned to drive with him in Folkestone and his teaching style was excellent - really encouraging, calm and clear from day 1 up to my test. Rob mapped out each lesson in advance, steadily building up from learning the basics right through to mock tests, at a pace that worked for me. He put thought into helping me identify and focus on areas that needed the most work so I felt fully prepared for my test, which I was able to pass first time. Thank you so much Rob!
Thanks Chris, really appreciate your kind words and thank you so much for choosing our driving school, much appreciated. Safe driving

Thanks Owen, fantastic result well done!!
Fantastic experience: Recently learnt to drive with Rob! 18 hours intensive course before passing my test! I cannot thank him enough for making it one of the most pleasurable experiences of my life, I felt at such ease being taught to operate a car after years solely using motorcycles. Once again top marks for Rob and his teaching skills!!!
Thnks Jim! Much appreciated, pleasure was mine honestly and you did all the hard work so well done for a superb effort and great result Thanks, Rob
Fantastic experience: When it came to my first lesson, I knew absolutely nothing about driving and by the end of 20 hours of lessons with Rob, I had the confidence to be able to drive by myself! Would really recommend to anyone looking to start driving!!
Thanks Alex!! Fantastic student from start to finish and it all paid off with a first time pass
Fantastic experience: I had to be a good experience from Pole driving institute. I appreciate their quick response. They quickly allocated me an excellent driving instructor and I passed my first attempt. I absolutely recommend this driving institute for new learners to achieve great success. Thanks Rob helping me make it a great success.
Thanks Ronald, it was our pleasure, great result and well done! Safe motoring
Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend learning how to drive here, my instructor was Rob and he was so amazing, very calm and kind and he was able to help me with my dyslexia and showed me ways in which I am able to understand certain things where I would normally struggle with understanding.
Thank you so much, it was my pleasure to work with you
Fantastic experience: Very friendly instructor, enjoyed going out learning and resulted in a swift, easy pass.
Thanks Harry, appreciate the feedback. Thanks for choosing us for your driving lessons! See you on the road
Fantastic experience: I have put off learning to drive for years because I suffer with anxiety, so I was extremely nervous going into my lessons. But once I plucked up the courage, Rob immediately put me at ease and has a very calm, clear and easy to understand way of teaching. We prepared with mock tests during our lessons which really helped. I couldn't have felt more prepared for my test, and passed first time with just 3 driving faults. Can't thank Rob enough, genuinely lovely guy with a great sense of humour and taste in music which always helps! Highly recommend Pole Position Driving School. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you very much for the kind words, and a good taste in music
Fantastic experience: i would 1000000% recommend pole position driving school if you want to learn to drive!! i could not ask for a better instructor,, rob always stayed calm in every situation & helped me pass first time!! he helped me with my confidence so so so much all throughout my lessons & he always had faith in me that i could pass first time:) but honestly would recommend him to anyone! i’m missing our weekly lessons already
Thanks so much for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to teach you and such good fun! Will miss our lessons too, can't wait to see you out on the road
Fantastic experience: Genuinely a really great guy and made driving really easy, the lessons were great and made driving feel natural and I’m a bit gutted that I’ve passed as I always looked forward to the lessons but really happy as he led me to a first time pass I can’t recommend him enough
Thanks so much for the kind words mate, much appreciated and really pleased for you. Was a pleasure working with you
Fantastic experience: Thank you Rob for my express driving course (2 weeks)! It were absolutely intelligible, useful and productive lessons! So happy I passed my driving test today !!!
Thanks Anna, it was an absolute pleasure to sit next to you
Fantastic experience: Finally passed at the age of 23! After numerous instructors over a number of years, I found Rob on Facebook he was a fantastic instructor, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to ensure I was ready to pass. He was calm, considerate and understood my ability. He was able to manage my crazy personality and bad language and has got good banter - if you know me I can’t handle awkward silences! He catered a unique 2 week intensive course to my availability and needs. I gained so much confidence and it is all thanks to Rob!! ☺️
Thanks Lily! Such kind words, it was an absolute pleasure
Fantastic experience: I can honestly say, hand on heart, I would not be driving solo today had it of not been for Rob's input. I had a lot of anxiety about learning to drive and my two previous instructors were not able to build the necessary confidence yet...then I discovered Pole Position Driving School and my worries seemed to disappear almost overnight! With patience and understanding Rob taught me everything I needed to know finding a great balance between keeping the lessons both informative and enjoyable (shout-out to all the killer tunes). What I valued most was his honest and constructive feedback and how our lessons were filled with so much laughter since I felt this was so important in enabling me to feel at ease and comfortable. So, if you are seeking a genuine down to earth individual who will allow you to feel confident and safe on the road then look no further!
Phyll, what can I say! An epic journey and so lovely to meet you, I wish you every success and safe driving
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Robert Beach who is the best at what he does. I’ve had the experience of driving in many countries that are automatic, which means I had no need to learn how to drive a manual car. Rob knew this and he made it his challenge to make me one of the best and that he did. I passed my driving test with one silly minor on my first go. So if you’re in or around the Folkstone area, the Pole Position Driving School is a must if you wanna learn how to drive.
Thanks for the kind words Jason, was an absolute pleasure driving with you. Take care my friend
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Rob I passed my test! Learning through lockdown was hard enough but having a instructor that listened and was so kind made everything a lot easier! He explained everything in detail so that I could understand and if I couldn’t we would go over it again. Thank you so so much for everything and being so understanding and helpful I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. I highly recommend!!
Very kind words Ffion, really helps to have your feedback especially when it's so positive. So pleased for you passing first time today! Well done
Fantastic experience: Rob was my third driving instructor I had tried since having on off lessons from the age of 17 so being 25 I knew I now needed my license. From the very first lesson, Rob explained everything in a way I understood and I quickly found myself progressing in areas of driving I previously really didn’t enjoy. Rob was very accommodating to my work schedule and fitting in extra lessons where needed which leading up to my test was really reassuring. Passing my first test with 1 minor considering I hadn’t passed a mock test in my lessons because of nerves shows just how effective Rob’s teaching methods are. I would recommend Pole Position Driving School, particularly Rob to anyone wanting to learn to drive. I’m actually gutted I don’t have weekly lessons with him anymore! Can’t thank you enough Rob, the past year has been a blast! 11/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Legend! So much fun to sit with you and we'll deserved. Safe driving mate
Fantastic experience: Rob was a fabulous instructor - very patient, a warm presence and also really precise. I felt at ease with him from the beginning and he managed the pandemic chaos in a calm way. I would recommend him to everyone who wants to learn to drive. I passed first time. Yay!
Thank you Cath, words much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Pole Position Driving School enough! Rob has the patience of a saint and was helpful and supportive throughout my driving journey. Great instructor, very easy to get along with and a genuinely lovely person! I passed first time after a tough year with the pandemic and multiple test cancellations. Would highly recommend Rob! 5 stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much!! It's been an absolute pleasure! You totally deserve it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% !!! Robert taught me to drive from day 1. I had never once stepped foot in the drivers seat, and was clueless on how to even start! I Couldn’t of asked for anyone better to guide me through my lessons and make my memories nothing but amazing! So easy to talk to and always made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Rob, to all of my friends, family and anybody else!!!
