Greenlight School of Motoring

Fantastic experience: I've been learning with Richard for some time now, he is very knowledgeable and friendly. He was also very patient and approachable so having a conversation helped settled them nerves. But I'm sad to say our time has come to an end. As I passed my driving test - first time! This was due to finding a good instructor and this he was. Would highly recommend him Thank You Richard.

Fantastic experience: I passed my practical driving test today, 4th Dec. 2024, at the Erith Test Centre at my first attempt. Richard is a wonderful instructor with outstanding teaching driving skills. My special appreciation goes to Richard, who was able to work around my time of availability and made every lesson worthwhile. I had many worries regarding passing my test. He has all the qualities of a good driving instructor. His words of encouragement are really mind lifting. Truly, his expertise is part of my success story.

Fantastic experience: I have passed my driving test on the first try. All thanks to my instructor Richard. He is very nice and patience, also has taught me a lot of useful driving skills. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: With the proper guidance from Richard, I PASSED on the first attempt of my driving test last Saturday in Erith test center which is believed to have a low pass rate. I had serious chills and cold feet but Richard said to me “stop feeding yourself with the negative reviews online. The main reason people fail is not the test center, it is that they’re not well prepared. For anyone still looking to pass theirs, I highly recommend you go with them. They’re very welcoming and professional. I would advise you take at least 2 classes before you even take on your theory test.

Fantastic experience: It's always good to have drive lessons with a Palmeiras (brazilian football team) supporter (I'm kidding mate), he had corrected my mistakes and made me more comfortable at the test day.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Richard before my driving exam in London, and I highly recommend him. I passed on my first try, thanks in large part to Richard’s efforts. With over 30 years of experience, Richard is not only professional but also friendly and incredibly helpful. He knows the exam routes inside out and covers all possible scenarios you may face. I suggest taking 2-5 lessons with him. His cars are clean and comfortable, ensuring a smooth experience during the exam.

Fantastic experience: Richard has been a brilliant teacher. From teaching me basic manoeuvres to complicated roundabouts, he’s done it in an efficient and calm manner! Thank you for all of those lessons!

Fantastic experience: Today I passed my test and with out Richard this would not have been possible. Richard is an amazing instructor very professional, flexible and calm. His experience is second to none and would highly recommend him. After many lessons with him we actually built up some really good rapport and now see him as a good friend. This really helped me personally as it put me at ease and also I have had personal issues going on outside of learning to drive and Richard was very flexible and was so nice to an ear to listen which like I said helped put me at ease and kept me cool calm and collected. I couldn’t thank Richard enough for helping me pass my test and in such good time aswell. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Just passed , Richard is a wonderful instructor who explains everything clearly and has a wealth of knowledge. Would and will recommend him to all who want to learn and pass with his experience and knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Richard is a helpful, friendly and supportive instructor who easily answers any of your questions and gives you all the info you need to pass first time. I'm extremely grateful and would gladly recommend Greenlight to anyone wishing to acquire a driving license, or a pass plus certificate (do note that he only teaches automatic.)

Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed my driving test today and I want to give a huge thank you to Richard for everything he has done. Richard is a fantastic instructor. He is friendly, patient, and calm. This helped me so much especially with my nerves. It also built up my confidence and allowed me to relax. His instructions, experience, and advice were significantly important for passing my test. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking an instructor. Once again, thank you Richard for everything :)

Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test and I would like to thank Richard for being a part of my driving journey. He encouraged me to read the highway code, plan my route when driving, and understand driving better (e.g. traffic calming measures, etc.) If you are looking for a patient driving instructor with years of driving experience, that is honest and helps you feel relaxed when driving then I would highly recommend driving with Richard at Greenlight School of Motoring. Thank you again, Richard :)

Negative experience: Rude sly comments about maybe I should not drive due to back problems. Not a nice instructor

Negative experience: Not a very pleasant driving instructor rips you off for own financial benefit because he had to pay so much for car damages he caused …. Wouldn’t recommend

Negative experience: Not very happy with my experience I was not well and told me that I would lose out on my money, also over charged me for hours that didn’t take commence and the first two weeks had to reschedule because his car broke down . Wasted my time doing the same thing for 6 hours and came across very rude

Fantastic experience: Richard is an amazing instructor!!! So patient and trustworthy. He helped me to correct some bad habits that I had that allowed me to pass the test on the first try. I would highly recommend him to anyone that’s looking to learn how to drive.

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous coming to Greenlight after having a few lessons with another company (who were awful!). Richard is so easy going, but always very professional. I felt as if I were being taught by a family member. He built up my confidence and I am always keen to recommend him to friends and family

Fantastic experience: Richard was an amazing instructor who taught me to drive in 3 months where I passed my driving test first time. I have reccomended Richard to others since then, who have also gone on to pass first time. Richard was friendly and created a stress free environment, he was very professional always going above and beyond. Many people have complimented me on my driving, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Richard.

Fantastic experience: Richard is a brilliant instructor who was always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate my learning. He managed to not only get me up to test standard, but he taught me how to drive safely and gave me the confidence I needed to carry on driving after the test. I had no experience at all, and I was able to pass my test first time within 6 months of learning with Richard. He is very friendly, reliable, patient, and professional. He has tons of invaluable advice, and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn.

Fantastic experience: Richard's excellent teaching methods and jolly nature create a very comfortable learning experience. He is always punctual and patient. I couldn't be happier that I went along with him and passed the test in one go. Being an avid cricket fan also helps.

Fantastic experience: I met Richard within two weeks and I had 3 sessons with him. I was surprised at how quickly I had learnt things from him. He would tell me exactly where I went wrong and I wouldn't make the same mistake again. I had done a practical driving test before and failed before meeting richard, but i recovered quickly. The prices were affordable and I definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: After nearly two years with Richard during the pandemic, I finally passed my driving test today. He is really understanding, and he slowly guided me from the beginning to feeling confident on the roads. He had excellent strategies and ideas that were simple to remember. I found it easy to learn with him because he was always calm and never became frustrated with me. He is extremely professional. His words of encouragement made me more confident on the roads. He also puts a lot of efforts in every lesson. He is a very relatable and funny person to be around. While dealing with the pandemic, he took all required precautions to keep all of his students safe and protected. Would definitely recommend Richard as a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been lucky to have met Richard. He is an amazing instructor. Even having been driving for more than 10 years in my home country, I wouldn’t be able to pass the exam (1st time pass) without Richard’s teaching and tips.

I always recommend Greenlight to any friends or family looking for driving lessons. I only wish I had found Richard sooner as I would have passed my test in half the time! :-)

Fantastic experience: Greenlight school of motoring gave me the confidence to never quit and to follow my dream...I started learning at 17 but quit because the instructor I had then never was consistent with car I was driving and with way they were teaching....I highly recommend Richard he gave me the confidence to believe in myself and to never quit,he was patient and sympathetic after I failed first two tests but was there to enjoy the moment when I eventually passed on my third try....wish I had gone with Greenlight at 17 rather than waiting until I was 39/40
