U Steer: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Jackie and Stephan and very lovely people. Made me feel comfortable and very friendly. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Overly the last 3 years Stephan has taught both my daughters to drive as they turned 17. Both passed first time and I believe this is down to his patience and unassuming teaching manner. He made them both feel comfortable and gave them confidence to pass their tests and become safe drivers. Thank you Stephan
Thank you for your kind words Allison ☺️
Fantastic experience: I had Stephan as my driving instructor and passed first time! He was always so patient and made me feel comfortable throughout every one of my lessons!! Couldn’t recommend him enough thank you!!
Thank you Molly
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! Stephan patiently worked with me to overcome my fears, clearly explaining everything and helping me feel more comfortable with each session. His encouragement and support significantly boosted my confidence, making every lesson both enjoyable and productive. Thanks to Stephan, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. I’m incredibly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive!
Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time with 1 minor with Jackie as my instructor. She was an amazing teacher and explained everything in such clear detail that it was easy to understand. Very patient and answered any questions I had at any time. Highly recommend learning with her and I will miss seeing her!
Amazing Charlotte, thank you and wishing you many happy and safe miles ahead
Fantastic experience: 100% recommend u steer! I have bad anxiety and have always put off driving up until this point, Stephan was really great and understanding, he was really calm and helped me pass first time… thank you again for everything!
Thank you Dan
Fantastic experience: Really great instructor, helped me pass my test first time so would 100% recommend
Thank you Jasmine
Fantastic experience: Jackie was a great driving instructor, very knowledgeable and explained things clearly. We drove lots of the roads that are on the driving test so I was prepared for everything. I passed my test first time and I would highly recommend Usteer.
Fantastic experience: I was extremely scared of driving, but I managed to pass first time with Stephan, and I couldn't be happier. My lessons didn't just help me learn to drive, they also really helped my confidence in my personal life. I never even thought I'd sit in the driver's seat, but now I have my license and I'm so grateful!
Fantastic experience: Worth the money, lessons were easy to understand and the instructor was punctual
Fantastic experience: Great instructor who really helped me when i was struggling with another instructor.I would highly recommend and helped me pass first time :)
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended!! Thank you so much to Stephan at uSteer for the amazing support he has given my daughter while learning to drive. Watching my daughter grow in confidence and the weekly updates were great. Ultimately Stephan helped my daughter pass first time with only 1 minor. Once again thank you.
Thank you for the lovely review
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Jackie highly enough. Jackie's friendly, calm teaching method turned me from a very very anxious learner to a confident driver. Jackie was very patient and nothing was too much trouble. I was struggling with everything from manouevres to reading road conditions and Jackie went above and beyond. Thank you so much Jackie. Your tuition has taken me from that extremely anxious student to a first time pass with only one minor.
Fantastic experience: The instructor was very calm and this helped with my learning, he was very patient this was very useful as i was very nervous as a driver in the beginning
Thank you George
Fantastic experience: I think the most important thing about learning to drive is having an instructor with patience so you can be guided and learn rather than panicking about making mistakes. I absolutely loved my driving lessons and couldn’t have had a better instructor.
Thank you so much Ruth, all the best and for your future!
Fantastic experience: Lovely amazing instructors. Was learning privately, but they offered my great and helpful advice which I used and helped me to pass my test. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the lovely words ☺️
Fantastic experience: Easily recommend to anyone! Really puts you at ease and made driving lessons enjoyable! Thank you very much
Thank you Molly, it was great working with you ☺️
Fantastic experience: Stephan was amazing in getting me to pass my driving test! He has been very patient and helpful, and has helped me to work through my nerves whilst driving. I am very grateful and now feel like a safe and confident driver. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words Lily, all the best and it was great teaching you ☺️
Fantastic experience: After my stroke that resulted in left side weakness and DVLA cancelling my licence I struggled to find a instructor with an automatic who was prepared to give me the tuition I needed to return to driving legally and safely after a 2 year break from driving. Stephan was able to understand my difficulties and after 12 hours of his skillful tuition I have successfully passed the DVLA assessment necessary to get my licence reinstated. The instruction I received should make me a better driver than I was before the stroke.I can recommend Stephan to anyone wanting to return to driving after illness and a long period off the road.
Fantastic experience: My daughter had driving lessons with Stefan and she always said how patient and kind he was. He was always professional and prompt with replying to my messages. I would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Stephan for having the patience of a Saint and helping me on my journey to pass my test!!! So so grateful to have you as my instructor, you were so person centred and adapted the lessons to suit my needs. Would highly recommend you as an instructor. Thank you xxx
Thank you for the kind words and I will miss our lessons
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor and an all-round nice guy. Cheers Stefan!

Fantastic experience: Great patience with student, fun learning environment (we had some great conversations ) would definitely recommend for learners of all skill levels.
Thank you Germaise, it was really enjoyable to work with you and hope you have many safe miles ahead of you!
Fantastic experience: Wow, I can't even begin to describe how amazing my driving lessons were with Jackie at U Steer! She was an absolute gem, always patient and full of knowledge. Her instructions were crystal-clear, and she helped me build my confidence on the road. Thanks to her, I was able to pass my driving test on the very first attempt! If you're looking for a top-notch driving instructor, look no further than U Steer. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to learn how to drive like a pro!
That's amazing Joan and it was lovely working with you!
Fantastic experience: Stephan was a fantastic instructor! Very patient and calm. His approach was clear and informative. So glad to have passed my driving test and 100% recommend going with U Steer.
Then you Emily
Fantastic experience: Stephan had the patience to teach my son to drive and pass his test with a total of 24hrs tuition. He is an excellent instructor and extremely professional. Thank you.
Thank you for the lovely review, it was great working with you both!
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t wait for the next lesson with my driving instructor. Person-centered with a great sense of humor. Stephan always found a free slot for a lesson. Was not a good driver at first and passed my driving test with one minor mistake! I have already recommended “U steer” driving school to all my friends and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be sure to learn to drive and feel safe on the road, and also to laugh nonstop for the two-hour lesson! Thank you, Stephan!!!
Thank you for the lovely review, it was great working with you
Fantastic experience: Stefan taught all 3 of my girls with the youngest just passing today on her first attempt. Very happy
Thank you Jo ☺️
Fantastic experience: I would not hesitate to recommend Stephan at U Steer Ur Success! From my initial enquiry right through to my son passing his test (first time) I was kept fully informed of and received copies of his progress records after lessons. All communication was prompt, professional and friendly with payments being quickly acknowledged and recorded too. The website is also really informative for parents and students. As an instructor; my son got on really well with him and liked his approach to tuition so always looked forward to lessons. He felt supported and always had feedback on lessons, often supplemented with written notes for practicing outside of lessons. I will definitely be going back to Stephan for our younger Son when he’s old enough to learn.
Thank you Melanie for your kind words, it was a pleasure working with you both
Fantastic experience: Thank You very much for all the hard work you did on teaching Lily-Jai Stephan gave my Daughter the confidence to succeed and kept me informed with her progress every week. Would definitely recommend U Steer excellent. It was a picture seeing my daughter telling me she had passed. All thanks for Stephan.
Hello Keith, thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure working with you both
Fantastic experience: Usteerursuccess is hands down by far the best. Whether you’re in Cheltenham or Gloucester or anywhere you’re going to very happy. Stephan is a very very nice guy, will always be there for you if you need. Not only do you need to talk about driving but you also talk about life and your own hobbies. Stephan will never shout at you and he’s always honest about everyone’s driving. In all honest choosing usteerursuccess, was one of the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, instructor was kind, patient and encouraging. Pass my test within 3 months. Thank you very much!
It was great working with Kyra
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much for your help and support, getting my daughter through her test. Brilliant
It was only a pleasure working with her and I am sure all your patience and shouting helped
Fantastic experience: Very good driving knowledge shown throughout lessons, made me feel comfortable during lessons and had a great laugh all whilst learning how to drive! Thanks Stephan, would definitely recommend!!
Thank you Ciara, it was lovely working with you.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, calm and doesn’t waste time on things, if you feel comfortable with something, you move onto the next. Prepares you for everything you can expect on the test in your area.
Thanks Jack it was a pleasure teaching you
Fantastic experience: Can’t thank Stephan enough. My daughter has passed today on her first attempt. Not living local to the college she attends we put a lot of trust in Stephan and we weren’t disappointed. She felt comfortable learning to drive with him and he was patient and kind. Kept us well informed of her progress throughout.
Fantastic experience: My Son learned to drive with U Steer UR Success and grew in confidence every single lesson. We had feedback each week while he was learning which was great as it kept us up to date on his progress. All in all I was really impressed how fast he developed from his tuition and I would absolutely recommend U Steer UR Success to anyone who's looking to learn to drive. 10/10.
Thank you Phil, it was a pleasure teaching Sam!

Thank you Rachel, it was a pleasure teaching Alfie
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my test with the help of Stephan. He was professional but lighthearted and very good with mistakes and correcting you for next time. I passed my test easily and it’s all thanks to his excellent teaching.

Fantastic experience: Stephan was amazing with my son who passed first time 3 weeks ago. He fit him in back in December when i was struggling to find an instructor. My son then had a football injury which meant he had to stop for a little while but Stephan did all he could to support in the weeks leading up to his test when he was able to drive again.. Thankyou Stephan. Ill be intouch when my youngest is nearly 17
Fantastic experience: Stephan is great, very relaxed, thorough, friendly. Both my daughters have enjoyed learning with him.

Fantastic experience: My daughter Lucy passed her driving test yesterday all thanks to Stephen!!! My daughter said that Stephen was an amazing instructor who was friendly, easy to talk to and professional at the same time. He was also very flexible with his hours and was able to pick her up from school and drop her home. I would highly recommend him!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor, worked really well with me for me to pass my test.
Fantastic experience: A great instructor, helped me massively with confidence too
Fantastic experience: Stephan is an excellent instructor, my son passed his test really quickly and was encouraged to book a test without having more lessons than needed. Would 100% recommend to anyone that wants a good honest instructor.

Thank you Saloni! It was a pleasure working with you!
Fantastic experience: Stephan was a great instructor, I passed first time and highly recommend him. Thank you
Fantastic experience: From my first contact with U Steer, I found Stephan to be very professional. Good communication. Good, clear pricing on website. Offered a taster session to assess my daughter's driving and then suggested how many lessons were needed. This was less than I was expecting! He was calm and patient, building up confidence whilst giving advice. A first pass for her with no faults! Wish we had come here first!
Thank you for the kind words
Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Stephan for being such a great instructor! He was very calm and patient and massively helped me to develop my confidence so I could pass.
Fantastic experience: Stephan has been a great instructor especially during the lockdown period. He was very calm, patient and knew exactly in what situations I could be left to some more independent driving. Over the struggles of lockdown he has been very accommodating to get lessons in for a tight turn around for the test. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great tuition! Great instructors thank you so much for your hard work getting me a pass after 5 Failed attempts
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test first time today! Highly recommend U Steer driving school. Stephan is a great instructor, he is calm, patient, lets you go at your own pace whilst giving you the right amount of encouragement to take the next step forward. From zero driving background to this stage I'm absolutely over the moon!
Thank you for your kind words, it was all a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test today. Stephan was very patient and supportive all the way to the finish line. He has always been calm and kept the lessons pleasant and relaxed. I am happy and i highly recommend him as your next or first driving instructor
Fantastic experience: One of, if not the best in the Gloucester area, phenomenal quality of teaching. I had the instructor Christine who was just amazing and a pleasure to be taught by. A VERY experienced, knowledgable and patient instructor. Helps you learn at your own pace and pushes you to improve every lesson. Extremely helpful feedback is provided throughout lessons. Are NOT looking to profit off you by forcing you to take lessons you don’t need. Prepares you for the test from the very first lesson. Queries and doubts will be answered with illustrations which makes understanding a lot easier. Cannot recommend them enough! I passed with 2 minors, a day before I passed, Chris produced a 1 in 1000 pass with NO minors at all, if that’s not a testement to how good they are I don’t know what is! Book with no hesitation!
Fantastic experience: Stephan is a brilliant instructor, would absolutely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Stephan is a fantastic instructor, his teaching methods are very clear. He helped me build up my confidence and stamp out any nervousness I had whilst driving. Brilliant would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Stephan was such an amazing teacher and a model example of what a driving instructor should be like. From the first lesson, he has remained professional, friendly and extremely patient. He builds your confidence as a driver, allows you to make mistakes without making you feel ashamed, and informatively helps you to achieve your goals, whilst fully respecting your current driving ability and integrity. It's clear that Stephan really knows what he's doing, as he's able to deliver a tailored and personalised lesson structure based off of what you want, rather than trying to guesstimate your confidence level. Also, the small details, Stephan recognises the true importance of a good debrief (as a diving instructor, this is one of the most invaluable things any teacher can do). Every step of the way, I felt like I knew exactly where I was, what I needed to do, and what must be done to get there; Stephan keeps extremely handy progress records, and discloses his honest and true opinions. I also briefly had Kris for a lesson, whom delivered the same high level of quality I'd experience from Stephan, so hats off to the entire U Steer team! On a side note, Stephan knows my opinion on cheesy puns, so again hats off for coming up with the worst (I MEAN BEST!!!...) one imaginable.
Fantastic experience: Stephan helped by leaps and bounds with my driving, He never once made me fell like I was wasting my money like my past instructors did !
Fantastic experience: Stephan is a top notch instructor, and taught me to become an instructor. I’ve sat in on many lessons with him and seen his patience, craft and skill on many occasions. Superb !
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Stephan and his driving school! His calm, professional approach is great. He explains everything very clearly and has a very positive attitude, offering continued encouragment. Overall, couldn't have asked for a better Learner driving experience!
Fantastic experience: Just want to say, what a fantastic instructor Stephan is! Passed my test today and over the moon! If your looking for someone who is really calm and helps you to the best of their ability, this is definitely the people to do it with! Cannot recommend him more to anyone, utterly fantastic instructor.
Thank you Karolyn
Fantastic experience: Passed first time within 4months thanks to Stephan. Absolutely amazing instructor and is definitely worth going with him or even the company!!
Fantastic experience: Great work from Andrew Stokes. Incredible, insightful, funny and patient. Those long talks really helped build my confidence but I will mostly miss the work ethic you showed. Passed on the first try... excellent instructor! Chine
Fantastic experience: Would like to say i had a dream of learning to drive. Thats all it was.. i was very nervous when i started my driving lessons but stephan was amazing and took the time to calm me and reassure me and make me believe i could do this....as im hard of hearing i worried i wouldn't hear what stephan was saying to me but he made sure i heard him by speakin louder which just became natural after a few lessons... i let miss panicky poo as stephan named me wen i got nervous make me feel i couldnt do this and everytime he would say come on louise is a good driver. Leave miss panicky poo at home. He has the patience of a saint..... i used to give myself a headace screechin at him...stephan i cant do it... to which he calmly replied yes you can.... I had the odd lesson where i used to feel disapointed in myself and feel disheartened....thats natural i believe....stephan would always say concentrate on what your doing next... not whats already happened.. I had my driving test 22nd feb and passed!!!!! .... yes i had to learn a lot but to learn it from a good teacher is what i believe helped me pass.... never ending support at the end of the phone... a progress report at end of every lesson.... just 100% total dedication to helping me achieve my goal.... so for anyone who wants to learn to drive i highly reccomend stephan and his company..... once again stephan thankyou so much for helping that dream become a reality ..........louise xx
Fantastic experience: Stephan was absolutely brilliant! He was super patient and thorough in his approach to teaching and helps to develop your strengths and weaknesses holistically. I passed first time a few weeks ago with only 3 minors!!! couldn't recommend him enough!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor, I would highly recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: very patient very experienced I passed the test with his instruction
