Dean Wyatt Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because of their location at first, but then because of Azam's great support. I felt comfortable and supported throughout the process of learning to drive. I enjoyed Azam's calm approach to teaching methods. I would recommend you to my friends, and I already did! Nothing could have been done better - it was great.
Congratulations Camille and thanks for the kind and positive review. All the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: My son had an excellent experience from his first lesson with Gregg through to his test where he passed first time. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to anyone.
Many thanks and congratulations again. Kind regards from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I am lucky enough to be Jo's next door neighbour. Learning to drive was the same as what I expected it to be. Jo was very reassuring and encouraging. I already have recommended Jo to a friend as she is very kind and patient. Nothing could have been done better, I was very happy with my experience with my instructor. Thank you
Jaydene, Thank you for your review and thank you for recommending us to others. We wish you all the very best for the future. From the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I know Dean from the gym and knew that he and his team had great results. Learning to drive met the expectations that I had. Gregg's teaching methods were great. He was patient, gave clear instructions and was strict with routines. I would 100% recommend you to others because of your patient communication style and getting a student to relax. Nothing could have been done better."
Thank you Noreht...lovely words! Congratulations again, you did so well and fully deserved. All the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because my step mum works with Dean Wyatt. I had my first driving lesson around my 17th birthday but work got in the way, which then meant I had to do an intensive course. There was a lot more to learn than I thought, but it was still enjoyable. I found Karen's patient teaching methods very helpful, as sometimes things got very stressful. Having access to the Theory Test Pro app through the driving school was very helpful when studying for my theory test. I would also recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School because I found my lessons to be quite pleasant, even when they got a bit stressful. I would have liked a bit more time to learn, but given my work commitments, I needed to be ready for my test on my last day of annual leave.
Congratulations Ashleigh and many thanks for the review. You were in great hands with Karen. Wishing you all the very best for the future from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School because I know previous students who have learnt to drive with her and they recommended me. I was very anxious to start driving lessons, but the gradual progression of lessons, from basic skills to more complex manoeuvres, was helpful in building my confidence and I feel like I learned more than I initially expected, and the experience was much less stressful than I anticipated and was actually enjoyable. Jo was a very encouraging instructor and made me believe in myself and my ability to drive. She gave very clear instructions and gave me the skills I need to drive confidently on the road. I would definitely recommend you to others because I think my friends would benefit from an instructor like Jo, just as much as I did. Nothing could have been done better. The whole experience was really good and I’m really thankful to Jo for helping me pass first time!"
Hi Eve, Thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed and kind review. You were in great hands with Jo and it's good to hear that your confidence has improved. Here's to many years of safe driving out on the roads. All the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Jo for all of your help over the past few months. I have really enjoyed having driving lessons with you, and these lessons have made me more confident when it comes to driving. Once again, thank you.
Congratulations Hannah and thank you for the kind words. All the best for the future from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I saw great reviews online by a bunch of different people. For me specially, the manoeuvres were much simpler to learn than anticipated. Eddie gave me little tips and tricks which made it easier to remember. Eddie's teaching methods were strict but in a good way to improve discipline. I would recommend you to others because you are patient and if in doubt, you’ll let us do the same thing over and over again until satisfied. Thank you so much again.
Many thanks for leaving us this review. You did brilliantly in your lessons and we are thrilled that you've been happy with our service. Wishing you all the very best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I heard about them online with good reviews, and I was recommended by a friend. I expected learning to drive to be easier, but I learnt quickly and was confident on the roads by the end. Dean's teaching methods were very helpful with tips and tricks to help me remember certain difficult manoeuvres and actions. I would 100% absolutely recommend you to others because of the quality of teaching and the knowledge gained is definitely worth it. Nothing could have been done better if I’m being honest. The emphasis on learning was highlighted through both lessons and various testing. The methods were helpful and easy to remember, which meant I could go away and practise before my next lesson.
Thanks for the review Tom. You have been a pleasure to teach and I'm going to miss our lessons together. I wish you all the very best for the future, from the whole DWDS team here. Cheers, Dean
Fantastic experience: Taught my extremely nervous daughter she passed first time thanks to Deans skill and patience wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We’re all very grateful top class instructor
Hi, Thank you for your 5 star review - it really does mean a lot. I'm so glad that you were happy with our service - your daughter did brilliantly in her lessons (and test!). Wishing you all the very best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I was recommend by a friend. Learning to drive was a lot easier than I expected, definitely not as terrifying as I first thought. This was especially because Dean was very patient and explained everything carefully and in a very relaxed way making it a lot easier to understand, and he made me feel very relaxed in the car. I would definitely recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School as Dean’s teaching methods were great and Dean was very patient. I can’t think of anything that could’ve been better."
Hi Emily, Thanks for your review...that's very kind of you. You have been a great pupil and fully got the result you deserved today. Stay safe out there and all the very best for the future from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: Our son passed his test this week. I cannot thank the Dean Wyatt Driving School enough. A huge shout to Gregg for all his efforts and support. I'd recommend you guys any time
Cheers for the review Mark - much appreciated. Josh did brilliantly and we're all so pleased that he is now another safe driver out on the road. All the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School because I already knew her and I like the familiarity. Learning to drive was actually more enjoyable and less stressful than I expected, thanks to the supportive environment. I found my instructor's teaching methods very effective. Jo was patient, clear in her explanations, and made sure I understood each step before moving on. I would definitely recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to my friends. The quality of instruction, the supportive learning environment, and Jo's expertise all contributed to a great experience. I honestly can't think of anything that could have been done better. Everything met or exceeded my expectations.
Many thanks Lauren...your words are much appreciated. All the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School because my friend recommended her and I knew that she would be the best choice. I felt like I learned a lot really fast and it made me feel confident driving, which I wasn’t expecting. Jo was so helpful when teaching me, as some things took a while for me to understand and she kept telling me what I could do to improve, which was very helpful. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School as I enjoyed my time learning which is always good as it made me excited for the lessons. It’s a friendly atmosphere that made me feel comfortable within minutes. Nothing could have been done better - I enjoyed every minute of it and it paid off, so thank you!
Hi Madison, Congratulations on your excellent test pass...well done Many thanks for your review. It's great to hear that you were excited for your lessons and you felt at ease. The whole team here at DWDS wish you all the very best for the future.
Fantastic experience: I chose Eddie at Dean Wyatt Driving School as my sister had recently passed with him. I found learning to drive with Eddie much easier than with my previous instructor. I found his teaching methods very easy to learn. I would definitely recommend you to friends and family as I found it easy to learn. Nothing could have been done better - I think the lessons were perfect.
Hi Ben, Congratulations on your excellent test pass...well done Many thanks for the review too - it's great to hear that you were so happy with your driving lessons with Eddie. The whole team here at DWDS wish you all the very best for the future. Happy driving!
Fantastic experience: Awesome refresher lessons with Dean after 11 years of no driving. Quickly regained most skills to drive safely and the confidence to get back in the drivers seat. Would 100% recommend.
Thanks for the kind review Alex. It is so great to hear that you are now feeling more confident. You have done brilliantly in our refresher lessons and shown a great hunger to improve and more importantly, be safe. Wishing you all the best for the future from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School after researching online and seeing their learner cars in my local area. Learning to drive was a completely new experience, but as I grew in confidence, it became more natural. Gregg's teaching methods helped me not only build my skill set, but also ease my nerves, as he was calm and patient throughout the whole experience. I would 100% recommend you to friends as I couldn’t have passed without you. There was nothing that could have been done better and I’m so grateful for all of your help with getting me through the test.
Congratulations again Freya. To pass first time is excellent...to pass first time with ZERO faults is very very rare, so it shows what a great driver you have become. Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a nice positive review...it is much appreciated. Wishing you all the best from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School because my Dad posted on a Facebook group looking for an instructor to teach his nervous daughter (me!) and Jo was highly recommended. I had learned to drive previously and had a large gap in between, but I think I had forgotten all the road rules and strategy that goes into it. I knew learning to drive was going to be tough and it was, but having driven before under my belt helped me I think. It was good to go over each part of driving slowly. Jo would identify and focus on bits I was stuck on (I.e roundabouts, hesitating, meeting traffic) and go over that, which was good for building my confidence. I would recommend you to others, for the way I was taught things slowly and in the way we went about other things without moving on too quickly. I think I would have benefited from “mock tests” sooner, but after I failed two initial tests these were introduced which I appreciated. Thanks so much!"
Congratulations Lauren and many thanks for leaving us such a kind review. The whole team here at DWDS wish you all the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: My partner passed yesterday with only 1 minor! Before learning to drive he was extremely nervous and anxious about getting behind the wheel; but his instructor Des, was great and really calmed him down on his first lesson. After that, he was excited for each lesson and thoroughly enjoyed his experience with Des. Would highly recommend to anyone learning to drive who is feeling nervous about doing so!
Hi Annabel, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. It's great to hear how happy your partner was and many congratulations to them again. All the best to you both from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: I got recommended to Dean Wyatt Driving School through a family friend and couldn’t have been happier with the recommendation. I was extremely anxious and nervous when I first started and thought I’d be driving for 10 mins in the first lesson, but Des got me straight in the driving seat after driving me to a quiet road and walked me through each step and it was the best thing for me and my confidence. He really calmed my nerves and made me feel at ease behind the wheel. Des' teaching methods were flawless - I couldn’t have asked for more. He was calm, understanding, and I never felt like I was under any pressure at all. Each lesson was taken at my speed, even when I wanted to take things back a few steps to gain more confidence in the foundations. I would absolutely recommend you to others, and I already have! Being in my early thirties, driving is much scarier now than it was when I was younger, so to have a driving school that prides itself in dealing with anxious and nervous pupils is perfect. Nothing I can think of could have been done better. I had such a positive experience learning to drive with Des. Thank you!
Congratulations Joseph on your excellent test pass result. But more importantly, it is brilliant to hear that you have managed to combat your nerves and anxiety. Thanks for leaving us such a detailed review. Des is very proud of you, as we all are here at DWDS. Congratulations again and all the very best for the future, Dean
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School as we saw they had excellent reviews and a few of my friends spoke highly of them. I enjoyed every moment of learning to drive and it was everything I could've asked for and better. I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor than Karen. Her teaching methods were perfect and she gave me excellent instruction and feedback for my private practice and her teaching methods helped me massively to pass first time. I would 100% recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to my friends. They helped me so much, especially considering I had such a busy timetable at the start, so for anyone looking for a driving school then Dean Wyatt Driving School is the one for you. I don't think there's anything I would've changed when learning to drive with Karen - everything was perfect.
Thank you so much for leaving us this very kind review Regan. You did so well with learning to drive and it's great to hear that you were so happy with our service. Myself and the whole team here at DWDS wish you all the very best for the future. Dean
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Dean Wyatt enough. Karen was an amazing instructor and gave constructive feedback, had bundles of patience and experience and put the safety of our son first and correctly predicted when he was fully prepared for his first test. Karen instilled confidence and has so much knowledge and put my son at ease in his driving and trusted in his ability. I would 100% recommend Dean Wyatt and Karen especially. An instructor who is calm, genuinely wants her students to become safe and competent drivers and gives great feedback to both parents and pupils, which is especially helpful for additional private practice. Big thanks to Karen and so glad we chose Dean Wyatt. Thanks to Karen our son passed first time around and at the right time.
Hi Yvonne, Thank you so much for leaving us such a detailed and complimentary review. Karen is indeed a brilliant, professional, calm and patient instructor with an excellent pass rate, and more importantly, a desire to make all her pupils safe and confident drivers, long after they have passed their tests. Wishing you all the very best for the future, from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Des at Dean Wyatt Driving School because I saw them on the Facebook 'Beckenham Appreciation Group'. Learning to drive was much more fun than what I expected when you get used to it and relax a bit. Des' teaching methods were very good. He gave me lots of useful tips and the system of an audit at the end of every lesson made sure I knew what to work on next week. I would recommend you to friends purely for the lovely, friendly instructors."
Hi Tom, Congratulations on your excellent test pass. Thanks for your review. You are right - Des is an brilliant instructor. Wishing you all the best for the future from the whole DWDS team here.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School as Des was recommended by a family members colleague. Learning to drive was not as overwhelming and over complicated than I first thought it would be. I can’t fault Des' teaching methods. I feel that Des tailors his teaching style to match the needs of his students. I have recommended Des to others because as stated above, he understands what students need and makes the whole process of driving seem simple. Nothing could have been done better.
Hi Jack, Thank you so much for the review. You did so well and it's great to hear you were so happy with the service Des provided for you. Congratulations and all the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: My previous instructor, also at the Dean Wyatt Driving School, was no longer teaching, so I was put in touch with Jo. This was a fortunate turn of events because Jo was a great instructor! Learning to drive was similar to how I thought it would be. I had some previous lessons with a different instructor in Oxford so I already had a grasp of the basics. Learning with Jo took me to that next level of being ready for the test. We covered large roundabouts, dual carriageways and emergency stops, all for the first time. I found my Jo’s teaching methods really helpful. She was usually calm and relaxed, which I found helpful. She had a good technique for parallel parking and she always thought the best way to learn something was by doing! At my stage, I found this helpful because it would’ve wasted time to go through the diagrams all over again. I liked how she replicated test routes so I felt more confident and comfortable on the day of the test. I’d definitely recommend Jo and the Dean Wyatt Driving School to friends. I had a very positive experience and result, passing 1st time! Jo was also very accommodating with lesson timings and was able to work around my unpredictable work schedule when needed. I don’t think there is much that could have been done better. At times I could sense Jo’s frustration when I made a silly mistake or hadn’t listened to her carefully enough, but overall she was calm and patient. Jo was an excellent driving instructor and I would recommend her to anyone.
Congratulations Skanda on your excellent test pass recently and thanks for making the effort in leaving us such a positive review. It's lovely to hear that you had such a positive experience. Well done again from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School because my Mum knows her and she felt I would respond well to Jo’s calm approach and teaching style. I found learning to drive more difficult than I expected which is why I think it is important to find the right instructor, especially if you lack confidence. I found Jo’s teaching methods worked really well for me. She was very patient and thorough and allowed me to practice the things I found difficult numerous times until I felt more confident. She also took me on test routes so that I was familiar with the roads. I would definitely recommend Jo as I found her teaching methods very effective and she covered things in a lot more detail than my previous instructors. I can’t think of Jo could do better."
Hi there, Many thanks for leaving us this 5 star review - it really is much appreciated. You are right...Jo is an excellent instructor and it's great that you both got on so well. Congratulations from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School for my recent refresher lessons because of a number of reasons: 1. They are an independent school so have a genuine interest in achieving the goals of each individual. 2. Dean was flexible to my needs e.g. lesson times. 3. There was no need for block bookings - completely driven by the individual and their requirements. 4. Positive testimonies on their website. 5. They are local to my area. It wasn’t a case of going back to basics with my refresher lessons. Instead Dean was led by and worked with my own needs to provide tailored lessons that worked on my own confidence. Dean is incredibly knowledgeable and provides helpful prompts and techniques to be able to apply outside of lessons. In the short amount of time Dean has known me, knowing a lack of confidence is a general weakness, he used this understanding to tailor lessons and motivate me. I would absolutely recommend you to others and I already have! Dean is driven by your needs and wants you to do well. It goes without saying that his professionalism and friendliness made learning enjoyable. The app provided is also great as it is a really helpful way to look back at lesson notes, and any weaknesses (as well as strengths) to be able to practice and develop these areas. Nothing could have been done better."
Thank you very much for your review following your recent refresher lessons. You have improved so much and it's great to hear that you are now feeling confident out on the road. Please do give us a shout if you have any questions or need any further help in the future. All the best from Dean and the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving school for my son as my friends are Dean’s parents. I had heard how professional they were, that their teaching was to a very high standard along with their pass rate. Dean’s teaching made my sons experience enjoyable. He made him feel relaxed, confident and never stressed. I would recommend this driving school to anyone, regardless of their age. Thank you Dean for helping him to pass first time.
Hi Denise, Many thanks for this...very kind. Dan did so well and got the test result he so fully deserved. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a kind and positive review. All the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: "I was put on Dean Wyatt Driving School's waiting list last May and was amazed when I received a phone call in Sep offering me a place. I was pleasantly surprised how much dedication there was in keeping me in mind. Driving was made so simple and I felt so at ease the first time I sat in the driving seat with Dean. Driving methods were so simple to get the hang of and were easily explained. Dean's patience is amazing with new drivers. I would 100% recommend you to others because Dean is such a great person and an amazing teacher. Everything was done perfectly. Dean was always on time and always keeping me in touch with lessons. The app is amazing too, to keep track of your progress."
Thank you James You did so well with your driving and fully deserved your excellent test result today. It's lovely to hear that you were so happy with our service and it is much appreciated that you have taken the time to leave us this feedback. Wishing you all the best for the future from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because it was highly recommended by a church member. When learning to drive, I noticed here in the UK, every detail counts. My instructor, Jo, was thorough and frank in her instructions and assessments. I would certainly recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to others because it patiently and successfully took me through my lessons and my examination. Thank you!"
Hi Elaine, Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. It's great to hear that you were happy with your experience from us and we wish you all the very best for the future. Kind regards from the whole team here at DWDS.
Positive experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I heard from other people that you were a good instructor. I didn’t realise there were so many things to pay attention to when driving. Your teaching methods like the MSM routine, I found easier to remember. I would recommend you to others because I feel like the methods I was taught were very useful and effective. Overall I thought it was very good teaching.
Many thanks for your review Tegan and congratulations on your excellent test pass. Wishing you all the best from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School as Dean is a family friend. Learning to drive was easier than expected once I had picked it up. Dean's teaching methods were very good as I learnt quickly and easily. I would recommend you to any friends starting driving or restarting, as I’m sure they will also pick it up quickly. Nothing could have done better.
Hi Jack, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this kind review. You did so well with your driving and learnt everything up to a great standard, very quickly. Wishing you all the best for the future, from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because my instructor, Des, has a very good teaching approach and moved to Dean Wyatt Driving School, so I went with them. Learning to drive was a lot more enjoyable than what I expected. Des prepared me very well for individual driving and I found the process a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. Des' teaching methods were excellent, flexible and well catered for individual students. There was no one size fits all approach and Des catered his training based on my individual traits – this resulted in very good progress. I would highly recommend you to friends as I found the teaching excellent and very enjoyable. There is nothing I can think of that could be done better. Everything was very well thought out and the approach was also very flexible – which is a really difficult balance to achieve.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. Congratulations again on your wonderful test result and all the very best for the future
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I knew the quality of lessons I was going to get. My sister and cousin had Dean and they both passed first time, so I knew the quality of teaching was going to be unmatched. Learning to drive was kind of what I expected it to be like. I was definitely nervous at first, although the more you did something, the more confidence you built up and then the less nervous you got. Come the later lessons, I wanted to challenge myself and I wasn’t nervous at all. Dean’s lessons were great. At the beginning of each lesson I was asked what I wanted to do or practice in the lesson. Then we would do that until myself and Dean thought I was getting good and consistent at it. Dean would also have loads of diagrams/drawings so I can visualise what I needed to do without jumping straight in the deep end and doing it with no clue of what's going on. I would definitely recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to my mates because of the quality I know they will get. Some of my mates have already chosen Dean Wyatt Driving School. There is not much to improve on in my opinion. I never had to wait for my instructor once and I always got the whole 2hours and it was never cut short early. Overall, it was a top quality service and I couldn’t have asked for any more."
Hi Ben, Thanks for your review. It's great to hear that you were happy with our service. You did brilliantly and the whole team here at DWDS is really pleased for you. Wishing you all the very best for the future, Dean
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because it had availability to suit my diary. Learning to drive was more complex and took much longer than I expected. I needed to do more hours of driving before feeling able to pass a test and drive well. Karen's teaching methods were very detailed and explained. Use of the app meant I could keep up to date with what I needed to practice, how to do manoeuvres, what I could do better, and how close I was to being test ready. It worked as I passed first time! Karen was a great instructor, very competitive pricing, helped change a test date (if required), professional business, no concerns. No improvements could be made...you just need more instructors to meet an increased demand!"
Hi Holly, Thanks very much for the lovely review - it's much appreciated. Well done...you did so well in your driving Thanks for the feedback too...I am desperately trying to get some more instructors on board to help ease the demand, so watch this space! Wishing you all the very best from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: I learnt to drive 10 years ago, but after moving to central London I stopped. I now have two small children and realised I was lacking the independence driving confidently gave me, and I had concerns about getting them to the hospital or doctors quickly if needed, as it had been over the past year. I found Dean Wyatt Driving School recommended on a Facebook post - either on Orpington gossip or Petts Wood. After looking I saw that your team specialised in anxious drivers and offered extra information on that too, which seemed to go above and beyond other driving schools. You also offered lessons in my own car and were happy to have kids come on the lessons if needed which helped with flexibility. I didn’t know what to expect from my refresher lessons, but I found myself doing more than what I thought I was capable of fairly quickly. There was no pressure at all but gentle encouragement. I found your teaching methods the perfect balance between encouraging but feeling like I still had control over how much I did. I always knew what to expect and what we were focusing on, and there were no surprises which I would have found stressful. Towards the end of my lessons I was more relaxed and it also let me practice chatting while driving which is also an important skill. I would recommend you to my friends for all the reasons above! Nothing I can think of could have been done better."
Hi Daisy, Thanks for this review following your recent refresher lessons. You did so well and it's great that you are now feeling more relaxed and confident behind the wheel. I know it will make a big difference to you and your lovely young family. Wishing you all the very best from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because they're well regarded in the community, and the instructors are definitely on point. They're professional at teaching driving!The experience of learning to drive went beyond what I thought it would be, and I feel privileged to be learning from a pro in the driving field. The support from the driving school has been top-notch! I especially want to shout out my instructor Peter Harvey. In every lesson, he takes the time to point out the areas where I'm falling short and provides careful direction to help me get better. After each session, I can check my progress on the driving school app, and he even lays out a personal plan for me. This makes picking up these professional driving skills so much more accessible! The lessons are super professional but also broken down in a way that's easy to grasp. It helps me take in everything I need to know from each class, so I can truly understand the rules of the road. If any of my friends were looking to learn how to drive, I'd tell them to go for it with Dean Wyatt Driving School without a second thought. The teaching is super professional, and you really pick up the skills you need. Plus, the way they break it down, you can see where you're at with your driving skills after each lesson. It's been fantastic for me! Nothing could have been done better. A big thanks to Dean Wyatt Driving School and my instructor, Peter. The guidance he gave me is something I'll keep in mind every time I'm behind the wheel."
Many thanks for the detailed review Tim. You did brilliantly with your driving and it's so great to hear how happy you were with our service and your instructor, Peter. Here's wishing you all the very best for the future. Kind regards from all the team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because it came highly recommended by a friend who knew Dean well. Learning to drive with Dean was even better than I expected. He made the whole process very enjoyable and stress free, which was important to me as a nervous learner driver. He helped build my confidence while still challenging me to improve. Dean’s teaching methods were fantastic. He was always very clear and patient in explaining things to me, and he made sure I understood everything before we moved on. His vast knowledge of driving and the rules of the road was an imperative factor to my learning, and he was always happy to answer any questions I had. I would absolutely recommend Dean to anyone looking for a driving instructor. He is a great teacher and also just a really lovely person! He was always happy to have a chat and make me feel at ease, which made a big difference to my overall experience. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything Dean could have done better. He really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and confident behind the wheel, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all his help. Thank you, Dean, for everything! I’ll miss our chats!"
Many thanks Luca for your kind words. It has been such a pleasure to teach you, and I too will miss our weekly chats and debates! Wishing you all the best for the future from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Dean for all of his hard work and dedication in helping my son Luca pass his driving test on his first attempt. Dean’s patience, encouragement and expertise have been invaluable throughout Luca’s driving lessons and Luca really couldn’t have done it without him. I will always remember Dean’s kindness and professionalism and how much Luca enjoyed his lessons and would have no problem in recommending him to all my friends and family. Thank you so much Dean Natalie Taylor
Hi Natalie, Thanks so much for this - it has made my day! Luca is such a mature and polite young man - it really has been my pleasure to help him. He worked so hard and today got the result he so fully deserved - I couldn't be happier for you all. Wishing you and the family all the best for the future, from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School having researched local driving schools and compared reviews. I saw there were lots of recommendations for the school on local facebook groups. I was looking for a school that offered refresher lessons and understood nervous drivers. When I first enquired with the school they were professional and friendly and understood my anxiety and had availability straight away so I decided to book with them. I wasn’t too sure what to expect beforehand, but I am really happy with how the lessons went and how there was visible progress each lesson. I wasn’t sure how long it would take me to feel confident driving, but I expected it to take longer than it did. Jo’s calm demeanour and teaching really helped. I think it could have been different with other instructors who weren’t as calm or understanding. I liked how Jo made a plan for each lesson and then set a goal for the next one. I liked Jo’s teaching methods, particularly how she worked with my levels of confidence and my suggestions to devise a plan and set goals for each lesson. She had the right balance of pushing me out of my comfort zone so that I could build up my experience and confidence on the road, but also working at my pace and checking that I was ok and never forcing me to do a drive I didn’t yet feel comfortable with. She always explained things clearly. I liked how at the end of each lesson she reflected on what we’d covered and things I needed to work on and improve, and what I did well. I started as hesitant and nervous in my abilities, and now feel confident and safe thanks to Jo’s teaching. I would recommend Jo to my friends and anyone looking to learn to drive or refresh their driving skills. I can’t think of any improvements. Thank you so much Jo for helping me progress and build confidence, it’s going to make a huge difference!
Hi Lianna, It's so great to hear that you now feel safe and confident whilst driving. As you say, Jo is brilliant and it sounds as though she catered to your needs perfectly. Happy driving and please do give us a shout if you have any questions or need any help in the future. All the best from the whole DWDS team.
Fantastic experience: Dean Wyatt Driving School came highly recommended and we can’t praise them enough. Our son passed first time with their thoughtful, helpful instructor Karen. He is a proficient and confident driver thanks to her guidance. We will definitely choose to use Dean Wyatt again for our younger son.
Hi Joanne, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. Karen is an excellent instructor and I'm pleased that your son feels safe and confident out on the road. I wish you both all the best for the future. Take care, from all the team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: Dean Wyatt Driving School was recommended to us and they didn't disappoint! Our son passed 1st time and is a really proficient and confident driver. Thank you to his instructor Karen.
Thanks for this Stuart. I will pass on your comments to Karen. It's so nice to hear that pupils (and their parents!) feel safe and confident out on the road - that is our aim here at DWDS. Congratulations again to your son and the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School wish you all the best, Dean
Fantastic experience: After seven years of not driving due to extreme anxiety I decided it was now or never to tackle it. I looked up refresher lessons and Dean Wyatt Driving School popped up as specialising in anxious drivers. Dean’s quick and understanding response to my email really helped me take those first steps. I was extremely anxious when I started the lessons and quite frankly just expected to be told I was a terrible driver who should never be in the driver's seat! However Peter was extremely patient and understanding. We took every lesson at my own pace and it really helped me slowly build my confidence back up. I’m so pleased that I’ve been able to achieve more than I could’ve ever thought possible with Peter's help and am now able to independently get to where I need to be. I think Peter is an excellent teacher, and explains things in a clear and calm way. I feel like my ability to navigate the roads and anticipate the actions of other road users has greatly improved and has given me the ability to feel like a safe and confident driver. I would without a doubt recommend Peter as a driving instructor. He continued to believe in me and encouraged me even when I had some very anxious moments and doubted myself. My life has undoubtedly changed from this process and I have regained some independence I never thought I would get back, which I completely credit to Peter! Nothing that I can think of could have been done better. Thanks so much again!
Gabriella, thank you so much for the review. It is wonderful to hear how much more confident you are now feeling. You are correct - Peter is an excellent instructor and I know he enjoyed helping you and seeing you flourish out on the roads. Stay safe and we wish you all the best from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because after searching for Driving Schools in the area, I noticed they had great reviews and it was affordable. The training was on point. I was thoroughly prepared for my test. The training equipped me with the skills that I needed to pass. Everything that I was taught proved relevant to the test. I followed the training, executed the manoeuvres as taught, and passed. My Driving instructor Peter was the best. His methods worked for me. He identified my weaknesses and helped me to correct them. He ensured that I grasped the basics and he worked with me at my level. His instructions were easy to follow and he gave guidance and instruction in a way that worked for me and boosted my confidence. The support was excellent, I was able to message Peter at any time and he always responded. I loved that we had discussions about the drive, we shared thoughts on good areas and those that needed improvement (drive). He was always equipped with his resources and popped them out from time to time. I would highly recommend Peter and by extension, Dean Wyatt Driving School to anyone. Why? Because I felt confident as a learner in his capabilities. Peter is an expert, he easily identified my weak areas and helped me. His training methods worked, and he was very supportive and could be easily contacted. Being very honest, nothing could have been done better. Peter's method of teaching was on point, his style worked for me."
Many thanks Jerome for leaving this review. Congratulations on your fantastic result - you did really well. You're right - Peter is an excellent instructor and I'm so happy that you were very pleased with him. Wishing you all the best for the future from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I had heard about Dean from a few friends who recommended him. Learning to drive was harder to pick up than I thought it would be, but really fun once I started getting better. Dean was brilliant at helping with technique and awareness, as well as being really patient and always helping me and giving me advice all the time. I would definitely recommend Dean to anyone, as he made learning to drive easier as he helps you to get your confidence up quickly, and is always very calm. Nothing could have been done better."
Hi Sam, thanks very much for taking the time to leave your review. You did so well and worked on all your weaknesses every lessons, and got the result you so fully deserved today. Wishing you all the best for the future from your Driving Instructor Dean and the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: We chose Dean Wyatt’s driving school because of the many recommendations and good things we had heard about Dean. Having now just finished a course of sessions with a Driving Test Pass in the first attempt I can say that everything we heard was true. Both Dean and Karen are great instructors (my daughter mixed it up a bit towards the end to build her strengths) and they were both completely reliable and efficient behind the scenes. Would definitely recommend and will use them again in future.
Hi Kate, thank you for your review - much appreciated. Wishing you all the best from the whole team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because my mum knows Dean and saw his cars driving about, so when the time came for me to start we thought it would be a great option. When it came to learning to drive, I knew what to expect as I've always been into cars so knew what it would be like and what I had to do. My instructors' teaching methods worked well for me as most of the learning came from physical driving as that's where I felt I would learn more than being talked through any situations. I would recommend you to my friends as it's a great way to start off your driving, as they have friendly instructors who have great teaching methods. I wouldn't change anything about my learning experience."
Many congratulations again Ellis and thanks so much for leaving us such a nice review. It is great to hear that you were taught how you learn best and not just in a bog standard way...that makes all the difference. Take care and thanks again. All the best from the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School as it was recommended online when I was looking for driving instructors. Learning to drive was initially trickier than I expected, however over time as I improved it became more enjoyable. I found your teaching methods to be very good, with a lot of attention to detail, friendly and constructive assistance where necessary, and an emphasis on teaching how to drive safely in the long term, beyond just passing the test. I would absolutely recommend you to my friends, as my overall experience has been very good, and I have found you to be friendly and extremely helpful both during and outside of lessons. I think you've done everything you could have done to the best possible standard, I can't think of anything that could've been improved.
Many thanks Luke for your review. It has been a pleasure to get to know you and help you become the safe, defensive and competent driver that you now are. I wish you all the very best for the future. 'Drive Well, Drive Safe' from all the team here at DWDS.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because we saw very good reviews about them and I had a lot of problems with my previous driving school. I had an amazing experience with Dean Wyatt Driving School and my instructor Jo was a very good teacher and I really liked the way she taught me. I learnt a lot and felt calm while she was teaching me. I would definitely recommend you to friends and have done so already because I was having such a hard time learning to drive and I almost gave up, then we found Dean Wyatt Driving School and I regained my confidence and hope. I don’t think anything could change. I had such a good experience."
Hi Holly, Many thanks for taking the time to post this lovely review. I'm so glad that you was happy with the service you received, and you are right - Jo is a very good instructor. Congratulations on your test result and the whole team here at DWDS with you all the best for the future, Dean
Fantastic experience: I was happy that Jo was my instructor as she was very good at instructions and very calm and understanding. Learning to drive for me was quite easy as I already had road experience with motorbikes so my expectations were met. Jo’s teaching methods were very good as she was very calm and was quick to point out any faults I was making. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School because my experience with you was excellent.
Congratulations Pasha and many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a nice review. I wish you all the very best in the future, from the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I had heard many good things about them. My friends had recommended them to me as well and were successful with them which influenced me to choose them. Initially I thought learning to drive would be very hard and very tiring, but Dean made it a very relaxed environment and helped me feel confident and less nervous. I found Dean’s teaching methods very good. He adapted ways of learning to suit me which made me feel very comfortable. He challenged me which gave me confidence, but in ways that didn’t pressure or overwhelm me. I would definitely recommend Dean to my friends. He changes his teaching ways to suit anyone, and makes you feel at ease in any situation. There is nothing I would change about Dean’s way of teaching. He was the best I think anyone could have been and my lessons always went well."
Thanks Katie for taking the time to leave us this very kind review. You did so well today and fully deserved your excellent 1st time pass. Congratulations again and the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School wish you all the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Dean enough, he has helped our daughter greatly. His way of teaching was so helpful to our daughter who was nervous to start with. He instantly made her feel at ease and bought the best out in her. Which resulted in her passing first time with 1 minor fault. We have no hesitation in recommending Dean and his team to anyone learning to drive.
Thank you very much for your kind review. Katie did so well and took everything on board and got the great result she so fully deserved today. It has been a pleasure to teach and help her. Many thanks in advance for recommending us to other pupils in the future. I wish you all the best, from the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School as she is my Mum's friend and a lovely lady. Learning to drive was a lot easier than I expected it to be and Jo made me feel more comfortable driving. Jo’s teaching methods really worked for me and encouraged me to be more confident. I have already recommended you to someone else because I passed first time! The services were fantastic and nothing could have been done better."
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. Wishing you all the best for the future. Kind regards from the Dean Wyatt Driving School team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School as I knew her through mutual connections and she was positively recommended to me. I was quite nervous at the prospect of driving, but it was less daunting than expected. Jo was reassuring and supportive, which made the driving experience more comfortable. I would recommend Jo to friends, as I enjoyed her teaching methods and have become a capable driver.
Hi Alex, Many thanks for your kind review and congratulations again on your wonderful FIRST TIME test result. Wishing you all the best from the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Negative experience: Absolutely terrible service, left my daughter upset every lesson, doesn't listen. Throws things back your face. Avoid at all cost. RIP OFF . Been with new instructor for months Absolutely happy.
Thank you for your review but we are very disappointed to receive such negativity. Your daughter was given feedback during and after every lesson which was documented on her progress app (as discussed in our correspondence offline), and she was advised to try switching from a manual car to an automatic car several times which she declined. The fact that she is now progressing in automatic proves that was the right option for her. We wish you all the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because Jo was a friend we knew from Orpington Ojays Swimming Club. I didn’t realise how much learning to drive would make me feel more independent. Jo's teaching methods were great. They are stuck in my head making driving alone a lot easier. I would recommend Jo to others because all aspects of her teaching were great and she was really friendly. Nothing could have been done better. Thanks Jo - I'm loving driving to training and work - it makes everything much easier now!
Hi Ellie, Many thanks for your review. Jo is indeed an excellent instructor and I'm so pleased that you were happy with how she taught you. All the best from Dean and the rest of the Dean Wyatt Driving School team.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because my Dad knows Dean and said he was a great guy, so suggested we get lessons with him. Driving is so much harder mentally than I expected - very tiring to have to focus on so much constantly. However, I found that I coped quite well thanks to the relaxed atmosphere while learning. I really liked the teaching. It fit around how I like to learn and pushed me when I needed to, without overwhelming me. I would definitely recommend Dean as he taught me to be a safe driver and I feel confident on the roads. I feel very comfortable behind the wheel now and I think that others can greatly benefit from that. I cant think of anything I would’ve changed from the first lesson up to the very end.
Hi Matthew, Thanks very much for the kind review. You did so well and I'm so pleased that you now feel confident out on the road. I wish you all the best. From Your Driving Instructor Dean and all the team at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I had heard recommendations from my sister and other people as well, and it seemed like a good way to learn to drive. I expected learning to drive to be a longer and more stressful time, but Dean made me feel at ease and helped me a lot. His teaching methods were very good and it was easy for me to understand all of what he was saying at all times. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to others as I was taught in a way that was comfortable for me and my preferences were always put first. Dean helped me work things out in a way which made me understand them better and I enjoyed the lessons. I don’t think anything could have been done better."
Hi James, thanks very much for this. I'm so glad that you felt at ease and comfortble. You did so well and congratulations again from all the team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: Both of my children have learnt to drive with Dean and both passed 1st time. Dean was originally recommended by a family friend and I am so very grateful. Dean has a way of teaching that makes nervous drivers relaxed. He is patient and methodical and is able to get the best out of his student. In my opinion he is the best instructor out there and his driving school is fast making a name for itself. I will never recommend another instructor or school as I truly believe he is the best
Hi Sharon, Thank you so much for your glowing review - very kind words. It has been my pleasure to teach both your children and it has been great getting to know your family. I'm so pleased you all feel happy with the service you received, and more importantly, Becky and James have become good, safe drivers. Thanks again and I wish you all the best from the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: I heard about Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School from one of my mum's friends who’s daughter was also taught by Jo. She said that Jo helped her become a more confident driver through her teaching techniques which ultimately helped her pass her driving test. Therefore I got Jo’s number directly and got in contact for some lessons. Having done some previous lessons elsewhere beforehand I had basic knowledge and general control of the car, so therefore learning to drive again wasn’t too different from how I expected it to be. I found Jo's teaching methods easy to understand and follow. She is very patient and explains things thoroughly, especially if you have any questions. Her techniques for the manoeuvres helped me become better in performing them in different types of situations. Additionally, my own driving was very rushed and unsafe at times and she would get frustrated at me occasionally, however this honesty ultimately helped me to become a better driver and pass my test. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to a friend as they are affordable and can cater to your availability. Furthermore, they want to make sure you pass and are safe on the road which is key. I don't think Jo could have done anything more or better, her lessons were useful and I ended up passing with only 3 minors!
Thank you for taking the time for such a nice and detailed review Nikhil. I am so glad you had a positive experience and that you were happy with how your lessons with Jo went. She is, as you know, an excellent instructor, and I know she was just as pleased as you were when you passed. Congratulations again and we wish you all the best, from the whole team here at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: I chose the Dean Wyatt Driving School as I had already had Dean as an instructor before the lockdowns, so wanted to stay with him. The learning process, while seemingly quick at first, took longer than I thought it would be in the long run, and I seemed to plateau in progress as time went on, but eventually became sufficient for the test. My instructor Karen was very effective in her teaching methods and made new topics easy to understand but was also effective in correcting my mistakes. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to anyone who wants to learn to drive as the pricing is reasonable and the instructors and their methods are top notch. Everything went as smoothly as it could have.
Many thanks for the review Edward and congratulations again on your brilliant first time pass. Well done and we wish you all the best for the future from all the team at Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: My daughter passed first time today. She has very much enjoyed and looked forward to all of her lessons. Colin, the instructor has been amazing, always on time and she always felt very relaxed with him. Would highly recommend.
Hi Emma, Thanks very much for leaving the kind review. Colin is indeed an amazing instructor and I'm so happy that Katie looked forward to all her lessons and was made to feel at ease. Congratulations to her again. All the team here wish you both all the best, Dean Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: We chose Dean Wyatt Driving School for our son because of their positive reviews online and due to the praise others passed along to us, we felt it to be a good place for him to learn from. Our son said "learning to drive was calmer and less stressful than I thought it’d be, with things being broken down and explained clearly as well as guidance on what I should practice on my own time, which made learning to drive easier than I thought it would be. Dean's teaching methods were good in helping me to learn how to drive in manageable steps. It allowed me to feel comfortable going at my own pace and let me learn effectively in a friendly, positive environment. I would recommend Dean to others because of how the lessons were enjoyable, making a difficult thing to learn less stressful and as such easier to understand".
Hi Kevin, Many thanks for the kind review. Noah worked really hard, not only in his lessons with me, but clearly in all of his private practice with you too, so I'm so pleased that all his hard work paid off. I wish you and the family all the best, Dean Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because my Mum was recommended by a friend about how good Dean had been in teaching her son. I knew learning to drive was going to be difficult, however Dean made the experience as nice and fluid as possible. Dean's teaching methods were clear and straightforward, making each individual hurdle understood. He then follows up with excellent feedback in order to further improve upon initial benchmarks and understand as and where problems were arising. 100% I am likely to recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School due to making the experience as pleasant as I feel possible. Not experiencing other instructors, I haven't experienced other mentoring styles, however, from my experience with Dean there is nothing in which I would have expected more. Making the process a great as possible as I feel he could."
Thank you so much James for such a kind review. I'm so pleased you feel the way you do which makes my job so worth while. Congratulations again and all the very best from Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School due to it being recommended to me by a friend and the excellent reviews on the website. Learning to drive was definitely a good experience, even though at times it was hard, but Karen helped me right from the start with everything. Karen was an amazing instructor who was always patient and understanding whilst explaining the new concepts in the best possible way. The whole experience of learning to drive with Dean Wyatt Driving School was amazing and there was nothing else they could have done better!"
Thank you very much Eleanor for the kind words. You did so well and it's great that you were so happy with our service. Stay safe and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School from a Google search and their reviews helped me make my decision too. Learning to drive was an eye opener! Being a seasoned driver in another country, I wasn't expecting these many adaptation points to my skills. Dean's teaching methods were just great. There couldn't have been a better teacher for someone like me who believes in logic and deduction. The way he broke down each problem into its simplest form and explained it, really helped me change my driving methods better suited for road safety. I would absolutely recommend you to others because you can bring out the best in each candidate. Nothing could have been done better, it was all good. Thank you so much and best wishes for the future."
Pankaj, thanks very much for the detailed review. You did so well and thoroughly deserved your pass. I'm pleased you were happy with your lessons and the service we provided. Wishing you all the very best for the future, From Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because it was recommended to me. It was good and fun learning to drive with Dean. His teaching methods were very good and easy to understand. He is very friendly and a nice person. Nothing could have been done better as everything was very good."
Thank you Maddy. You did so well! A great first time pass and fully deserved. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose Jo as my driving instructor because she was experienced, calm, knowledgeable and lovely to be around. Learning to drive was more fun than I originally imagined. I wasn't sure how to find it at first but now I absolutely love it. Jo's teaching methods were perfect. She was encouraging me and questioning me, which really put my knowledge to the test and made me learn more. I would 100% recommend Jo and Dean Wyatt Driving School to anyone who wants to learn because I feel so much more confident now than I did one year ago.
Hi Fiona, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It's great to hear how much you enjoyed the experience and that you now love driving. Wishing you all the very best, from Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because Jo came highly recommended by a friend and she was a familiar face for me which put me at ease when driving with her. My main goal was to tidy up my driving skills and bad habits that I had picked up while driving with previous instructors and family members. I managed to do exactly that by the time of my test date. Jo's teaching methods were very helpful and I also found them relaxing, which overall made me a more confident driver. I would definitely recommend Jo to a friend as I felt safe, comfortable and encouraged to pass my test, but I did not feel pressured by then to pass. I could not fault a single thing."
Thank you very much Erin for the kind words. You did so well and thank you so much for recommending us to your friends. Stay safe and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: "I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School because she was very kind to reach out to me after an incident with my previous instructor, so I decided to take her up on her offer. Learning to drive with Jo was very beneficial and efficient and she helped me to succeed. Her teaching methods were great, very understanding and clear. I would recommend you to others as Jo was very friendly and reassuring, as well as productive and professional. Nothing I can think of could have been done better."
Hi Ben, thanks very much for your very kind review and I'm glad we could help you. Wishing you all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: After passing my driving test 6 years ago, I had an accident which really wrecked my confidence. I didn’t drive again for a few years, and when I decided I felt ready to try again, I went back to Dean Wyatt Driving School for my refresher lessons as I’d done well with him in the past and felt confident he could help me again the second time round. I’d felt a lot more relaxed and confident after my first lot of lessons, and that continued with the refresher ones. I was quite an anxious driver, but I really appreciated getting the chance to talk through my worries as well as Dean's sympathetic approach to helping me relearn how to drive. By my last lesson I had remastered the basics and got my confidence back which had been my main aim, and it’s only gotten better from there. I couldn’t recommend Dean highly enough.
Thank you very much Amy for the kind words. You did really well and I'm so pleased you have your confidence back. Stay safe and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because my last driving instructor was no longer available so Jo took over. I thought learning to drive would be more difficult than it was e.g. to actually move the car, but everything else like observations and awareness are the more difficult parts. Jo has very good teaching methods. I wasn’t scared to make mistakes and Jo told me how to correct them. I always felt safe in the car with her. I would definitely recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to friends as they have lovely people to learn with and they will help you pass your test. I don’t think anything could have been done better as I had a pretty good experience all over.
Thank you very much Freddie for the kind words. You did really well and thank you so much for recommending me to your friends. Stay safe and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: "I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because it was recommended by a friend who was also learning to drive with them and enjoying the experience. Learning to drive was quite challenging and even nerve racking at times, but with the guidance of my Driving Instructor Karen, once I was in the driving seat I saw that driving is doable. I found Karen's teaching methods were able to help me understand not just the rules of the road, but prepare me for real life situations and how to drive both safely and calmly. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School as I have had a good experience learning to drive with Karen, who has not only helped me pass my driving test, but boost my confidence on the road. I don't think anything could be improved."
Thanks very much Oliver for the review. So glad to hear you are feeling confident out on the road. Well done again and best wishes from all at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: I chose Jo at Dean Wyatt Driving School because my sister recommend her and she’s my mum! Learning to drive was not as scary and difficult as I had expected. I found Jo’s teaching style very helpful as she adapted to teach me in ways that worked best for me. I would recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School because as well as several great instructors, they also offer support for theory test training and test day nerves. Nothing could have been done better for me.
Thanks very much Christy for the great review. Jo has done an excellent job in teaching you to drive andtyou performed brilliantly on your test. Well done again and best wishes from all at Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: Dean’s a brilliant instructor…he’s done a thoroughly excellent job in turning my son from a novice driver into accomplished one. The ability of DWDS to adapt lessons and driving plans to suit my sons skillset has been exceptional - it’s the key factor in him passing his test first time. Dean recognise the individual needs of the driver and uses a variety of communication methods to get his message across and he also has abundance of patience. What’s also impressive me is how clear it was for my to Son to keep up to speed with his development on the app and also the ease of the booking system.
Thanks very much for the kind words. I'm so pleased that Samuel passed his driving test and enjoyed his lessons. I wish you you the best from Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: I chose to learn to drive with Dean Wyatt Driving School because Dean is a friend of the family and I had heard really good reviews about his teaching. I found learning to drive a bit more difficult then I had expected it to be at first. However, learning with Dean put me at ease and his teaching methods helped to make it a lot easier. I found Dean’s teaching methods really useful. They helped me learn to become an independent driver, as he allowed me to think for myself when I was behind the wheel. This was very useful preparation for my test. I would recommend Dean to my friends because he made lessons fun and engaging. Dean was also good at explaining the different aspects of driving in a way I understood. I don’t think Dean could have done anything better. His teaching was always easy to understand and his lessons were always useful.
Hi Samuel, thank very much for taking the time to leave me a nice review, it really is much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed your learning and thank you for recommending me. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: After searching around for driving instructors for our son I decided to reach out on FB! A friend of mine on there who I worked with over 18 years ago posted ‘my husband is an instructor!’ Perfect! This same friends sister also taught Luke when he was 7 in the infants! Small world! After first contact with Dean I knew we had made the right decision. He was so clear, informative and very easy to get on with. It was important to us to find someone calm, kind and friendly for Luke. I’d heard many horror stories about instructors being harsh, strict and not very easy to get on with, therefore making the student feel completely on edge. After the first lesson Luke said he felt totally at ease with dean and the lessons would be taught around how he wanted to learn. He said he felt totally comfortable talking to Dean and learning with him never felt like a chore. Due to covid and lockdowns the lessons were stop start which was frustrating for everyone. However Dean got him through it and kept motivation going when lessons could resume. We were super proud of Luke to pass first time with zero faults and as much as we know he was doing the driving, this is also down to the faultless teaching from Dean. I can’t recommend Dean enough and i’m so happy I shouted out for recommendations and found him! Thanks again Dean we will book you again for our younger son in a couple years!
Thanks so much Jo for taking the time to post this lovely review. I'm so pleased you were all so happy with my service and I'm super proud of how well Luke did. Thanks again and all the very best from Dean Wyatt Driving School.
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School as Dean had been recommended to me from various friends who had nothing but a wealth of positive feedback about not only his ability to teach but also his ability to listen to and understand his pupils and how they like to learn. It’s safe to say that I was not disappointed! Especially after him getting me to pass first time with 0 faults! Learning to drive felt like taking the basic skills we learn as children: observing, coordinating and most importantly critical thinking, and then leveling them all up. It surprised me that driving was not simply mechanical; changing gears and using pedals, but was more psychological. This was a challenge at first however with help from Dean it was a joy to exercise my brain to learn to assess difficult situations, to anticipate and to even have the ability to fix other road users' mistakes. This process although daunting is truly fulfilling and exciting giving you transferable skills for the rest of your life, this was an unexpected but great outcome. Dean's methods of teaching were completely tailor made for me. From my very first lesson he asked me about how I liked to learn and asked for honest feedback on his teaching. Too fast, he’ll slow down. Too slow, he’ll pick up the pace. This made me feel incredibly comfortable in getting in the car and progressing as there was no pressure. Answers and facts are not simply spoon fed to you, questions are open and get you thinking like a driver, imparting that ability to anticipate that only years of experience can grant. Dean's methods made me feel that I was achieving and doing things for myself as opposed to simply being a puppet behind the wheel. I would absolutely recommend DWDS to friends family and frankly anyone wanting to learn to drive, particularly if you fit these criteria: You want lessons that are made just for your learning style and at your own pace, You want a teacher who gets you thinking, You want to feel safe and comfortable to ask questions, make jokes and have fun, You want a teacher who cares not only about passes, but about your enjoyment and safety after you're unleashed on the roads. Simply put if you want an amazing teacher then you want Dean. Could he have done anything better? No way!
Thank you so much Luke for such a kind and detailed review. I'm so pleased you feel the way you do which makes my job so worth while. Congratulations again and all the very best from Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose to learn with Dean Wyatt driving school as he was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m really glad I did! Dean’s teaching methods were great and he helped me to get out of some bad habits I’d picked up with a previous instructor. Dean really took the time to answer any questions I had in detail, no matter how silly I thought the question was. Dean was always patient and calm in lessons which put me at ease, and I always felt I could learn from any mistakes made. This really helped me to understand and work on things, which has ultimately made me a much more confident and safe driver! Although there were some long pauses in between lessons due to Covid, I really felt like I was able to pick up where I left off and work towards my test date still. I felt really confident in my driving ability and a lot calmer than I expected before going into my test. I will definitely be recommending Dean to friends as I don’t think there’s anything he could have done better. Thanks so much Dean!
Thank you very much Katie for the kind words. You did really well and thank you so much for recommending me to your friends. Stay safe and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: My son already had some driving experience when he started his lessons. Dean ironed out any bad habits, really helped him with his confidence and got him test ready within a couple of months. I honestly can’t recommend Dean highly enough.
Many thanks for the kind review. Harry did so well and fully deserved his clean sheet, zero fault test pass today. All the best from Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: Five star instructor! Everything I threw at this guy he handled easily, helpful, informative and educational. I had special requirements regarding anxiety, this guy was flawless. Highly recommended. Book now.
Hi Gary, thanks very much for your very kind review and I'm glad I could help you. Wishing you all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose to learn to drive with Dean Wyatt as I heard good recommendations about him. Learning to drive was very calm and reassuring compared to what I expected and Dean's teaching methods were very good with no stress. I would definitely recommend Dean Wyatt Driving School to others as the driving lessons were always great. Nothing could have been done better.
Thank you Maddie for the nice review. I'm so glad you enjoyed learning and you did so well in your recent first time test pass. Wishing you all the very best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because I was told you were a calm instructor for anxious drivers and thought that would be most beneficial for me. After my lessons with Dean I felt much more safewhen driving. His teaching methods helped me break bad habits and reinforce good habits, as well as really helping me improve my manoeuvres. I would recommend Dean for drivers who are nervous and drivers in general, as within only a couple lessons he helped me improve significantly to pass my test. Nothing really could have been done better.
Hi Rohan, thanks very much for the review. Hope all is well and you're enjoying being out on the road. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt Driving School because we saw your car and was interested in learning to drive with you. Learning to drive was harder than I thought it was going to be, but once I got the hang of it and I understood what I needed to do, I found it easy to get the hang of. I thought Dean's teaching methods were really good and he helped me to understand how to break down a manoeuvre or a skill I needed to learn. You were very patient and gave me all the skills I needed to pass my test. I would definitely recommend you to a friend because you were very patient and friendly, and gave me everything I needed to pass with good structured lessons. Honestly, I don’t think you could have done anything better!!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much Lydia for the kind words. You did so well and thank you so much for recommending me to your friends. Stay safe and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: Dean was recommended to me by a family member. Learning to drive was harder than I originally expected, but this changed when I switched to Dean Wyatt! Dean was excellent! He made me realise that some of the things I had been told by my other instructor were not strictly appropriate for every situation. He made very clear points about things I can improve and had his own methods for learning things like the width of the car for example. I would recommend Dean as a driving instructor as he is very calm and when you become more competent, he will instruct you to improve your independence on the road.
Hi Espen, thanks very much for the review. You did so well in your lessons and I hope you're still enjoying your driving now. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: It was harder and funnier then I thought it would be. But Dean's teaching methods was very good as they helped me learn to drive safe all the time and taught me all the different aspects too driving.i would generally recommend dean to other as I have been driving for nearly 2 years now and I've never had a problem on the roads thanks to all the lessons I've had and the teaching I got and there's not anything really I can think of any that could of been done better.
Thanks for the kind review Finley. Glad to hear all is well and you've had an incident free 2 years on the road! Stay safe out there and thanks again. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: " I heard about Dean Wyatt from a family friend and they recommended him to me. I found learning to drive a bit harder than I expected. Dean's teaching methods were good. He was strict but fair, and was always putting the safety on the road first. I would recommend Dean to others as I think he is flexible and can adjust to everyone’s style of learning, whilst also getting through the syllabus as quickly as possible for each person. There’s not really anything I can think of that could have been done better."
Hi Elliott, thank very much for taking the time to leave me a nice review, it really is much appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed your learning and thank you for recommending me. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I was recommended Dean Wyatt by friends who had recently passed with him. Learning to drive was harder than I expected but thankfully I picked up the basics quickly and had lots of guidance throughout the process. Dean was patient and calm in his teaching which really helped to build my confidence and reduce my nerves. He did a detailed recap at the start and end of every lesson which I found really useful in knowing what needed to be improved on for next time. I would definitely recommend Dean. I really enjoyed learning and had no issues at any stage. I can’t think of anything that could’ve been better. Dean was brilliant and I’m so thankful to have learnt with him. Thank you!
Thank you Hollie for the nice review. I'm so glad you enjoyed learning and it's great to hear how much it's helping you in your career. Wishing you all the very best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt as my driving instructor because my brother learnt with him and passed first time! Dean's methods of teaching were excellent. He was calm, patient and didn’t force me to do anything which I was not comfortable in doing. This really helped me get to grips with driving and excel my skills to be a safe and vigilant driver. I would 100% recommended Dean Wyatt to my friends! I flew through my driving and passed first time! My all round driving experience was excellent and I definitely now do feel comfortable driving independently thanks to Dean. I have now been driving a year and have recommended many of my friends to Dean. Could not ask for anyone better to make my driving experience a smooth and rewarding experience. Speaking as a youngster myself, Deans patience and calm nature allowed me to progress my driving journey and get on the roads in no time. Thanks for everything Dean! Mia
Thank you very much Mia for the kind words. Can't believe how quick that year has gone! So pleased all is well and thank you so much for recommending me to your friends. Stay safe and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: Dean was recommended to me when my son wanted to learn to drive. My son Connor learnt to drive with Dean, he was nervous and apprehensive, but Dean was able to put him at ease with his excellent teaching skills. Dean is a fantastic instructor, which enabled Connor to pass his theory and driving test both first time. Dean has a fantastic pass rate and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive.
Hi Simon, thank you so much for the lovely review. I hope you, Connor and all the family are well and Connor is still enjoying his driving. Take care and all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: Dean was recommended to me by family, he was a very calm, patient and friendly instructor. Definitely recommend, passed 1st time!
Hi Freya, thanks very much for taking the time to leave a review, it really is appreciated. Hope you're keeping well. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: When I was thinking of learning to drive I thought I would be in the passenger seat every time, although it was completely different to what I had imagined. Dean was very patient and never rushed me to do anything I wasn’t ready for. He made driving feel safe and provided a very comfortable atmosphere. I would 100% recommend anyone to him and I do not have a bad word to say about him.
Thanks Toni...a very kind review. I'm so glad you feel safe, and more importantly, ARE safe! A great pass for a great driver. Take care, all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: I chose Dean Wyatt as I knew him through my parents. Learning to drive was harder at the start than expected, but once I got the hang of it I found it easier. I found Dean's teaching methods helpful and useful. I would recommend Dean as he clearly helped my driving and I know he is a good driving instructor.
Hi Charlie, thanks very much for the review. Hope all is well and you're enjoying being out on the road. All the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Dean was a much nicer experience than I always imagined. He was really laid back and made me feel relaxed and easy to talk to. Flexibility and good length lessons really helped me learn and progress in my own time, and I managed to pass first time, which I never thought would happen!! I would highly recommend Dean Wyatt Driving school!
Thanks Emily for the nice review, it's much appreciated. You did really well in all your lessons and got the result you so fully deserved. Take care and I wish you all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
Fantastic experience: My Driving Instructor was Dean and I chose him because he had been recommended to me by multiple friends. Learning to drive wasn’t an easy process and I was very lucky to have Dean as my instructor because I honestly couldn’t have thought of any improvements he could make. I always felt comfortable in my lessons and also always felt that progress had been made each lesson. Dean was an outstanding teacher. I would 100% recommend Dean to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive. Thank you for all your help!
Thanks for the kind words Louis. I hope you're well and enjoying your independence out on the road. Stay safe, all the best, Dean Wyatt Driving School
