Brighton Marina Driving Lessons: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Fabio is a people person and very patient! With his expert help I passed my practical driving test first time. The lessons were very tailored to my individual needs and he has helped me feel confident in all driving situations. Fabio made sure I understood both the practical skills and the road safety principles behind every manoeuvre. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your success and safety, you’ve found the right one!
Fantastic experience: Fabio was a brilliant driving instructor. I was pretty nervous about re-starting learning but he was calm, patient and encouraging, and then passed my test first time! Would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: I feel very lucky to have had Fabio as a driving instructor, if I could give more stars I would! Fabio is calm, patient and very thorough in his teaching. Each lesson was tailored to an area of driving that I needed to work on and I'd always come away from a lesson feeling I had improved in my driving ability, awareness and safety. Fabio is very friendly and easy to talk to which also helped if ever I was feeling nervous and helped me in becoming a more confident driver. I'd always look forward to lessons which just made the whole process of learning to drive even better! An absolutely fantastic teacher, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an instructor. Fabio, thank you so much for all your help, I really appreciate it!!
Fantastic experience: Fabio is an amazing instructor. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient, providing clear guidance and feedback to improve my skills. From the first lesson he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. I highly recommend Fabio if you are looking for a driving instructor. Thank you Fabio!
Fantastic experience: Fabio is such a great teacher, I really enjoyed the lessons with him! He has been very calm, patient and flexible. Also very easy to chat to, which put me at ease from the very beginning. Fabio has a lot of experience and road knowledge and knows which roads are best for your current progress. He gave me the confidence that I needed to drive. The driving was also recorded into his laptop and it was very helpful because we could go through the mistakes very easily. I managed to pass the practical first time with only 3 minors :) highly recommend Fabio!
thank you so much Leo, grazie!
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive had always been an anxiety inducing experience for me, but with Fabio as my instructor, it was nothing short of brilliant. His patience and expertise were apparent from the very first lesson. Fabio has a calm and encouraging teaching style that immediately put me at ease. He expertly guided me through the complexities of driving, ensuring that I understood not just the how, but also the why behind every maneuver. Fabio’s knowledge of the local roads and test routes was invaluable, and his tips and training have given me a solid foundation for safe driving practices going forward. His lessons were always well structured and tailored to my progress, with clear objectives set out for each session. Most importantly, Fabio instilled in me the confidence I needed to succeed. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test first time.. with only 2 minors!! I can’t recommend Fabio enough to anyone looking for an experienced, patient and passionate instructor. He doesn’t just teach you to pass a test, he teaches you to drive for life.
Thanks a lot Joel, excellent result indeed!
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with Fabio. Fabio's teaching style is both patient and thorough. I truly appreciated about Fabio's approach was his emphasis on safety. He not only taught me the rules of the road but also instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility behind the wheel. His commitment to ensuring that I not only passed my driving test but became a confident and conscientious driver was evident in every lesson. I wholeheartedly recommend Fabio to anyone seeking top-notch driving instruction. Thank you, Fabio, for your dedication and expertise!
Hi Bobby, thanks a lot for your very kind words, wishing you all the best! Best regards, Fabio
Fantastic experience: Fabio is an excellent teacher! I wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for the exceptional guidance and patience with our son M. He passed his practical driving test first time, a milestone that would not have been possible without Fabio’s expertise and support! Fabio’s ability to instill confidence in him, coupled with sound and effective teaching methods, clearly made a significant difference. M. speaks highly of how Fabio made learning to drive not just educational but also enjoyable, which speaks volumes about Fabio’s passion and dedication as an instructor. Thank you for being such a positive influence and for all the hard work you put into preparing M. for not just the test, but for being a responsible driver. We are truly appreciative of your efforts and cannot thank you enough! Highly recommended! Ana B
Hello Ana, it was an absolute pleasure to work with your son, wishing you both all the best! Cheers, Fabio
Fantastic experience: Fabio really is a brilliant teacher. He was incredibly thorough and dedicated throughout our lessons together and exhibited limitless patience. His careful and forensic approach really benefitted me by allowing me to go into my test with real confidence. He is an excellent communicator who was always flexible and accommodating. I really felt his commitment to my learning journey throughout. Needless to say: I passed first time with him. Very highly recommended indeed. Nick W
Hi Nick, thanks a lot for these very kind words, much appreciated!! All the best, Fabio.
Fantastic experience: First time pass! All thanks to Fabio… and a little bit of effort on my part. I great experience all round and Fabio’s teaching style worked very well with me. Thanks for all your help and support.
Hello George, thanks a lot for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Fabio taught me everything I know about driving, from sitting in the driver’s seat for the first ever time to my first-time pass yesterday morning. We spent many hours covering as many situations as possible, even in some of the most difficult circumstances. I really felt that Fabio cared about my progress as a driver, as he encouraged me to be confident when I needed it most. It was great to pass alongside someone who felt genuinely happy for my achievement.
Hello Tatiana, and thanks a lot for your very kind words, such a nice Xmas present for you! All the best, Fabio
Fantastic experience: Just Recently passed my driving test with Brighton Marina driving schools, wanted to point out how helpful and kind my instructor Fabio fosi was for me in my lessons, making me feel comfortable and calm and also great company, wouldn’t have passed first time without with him :)
Thank you so much Rocky, all the best! Fabio
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test, and I can confidently say that Fabio is the best driving instructor out there! From start to finish, my learning experience with him was exceptional. Throughout my lessons, Fabio remained incredibly supportive. He took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, tailoring each lesson to address my specific needs. His constructive feedback was invaluable, helping me build confidence and improve my skills with every session. If you're looking for a driving instructor who will go above and beyond to ensure your success, Fabio is the one! I recommend him to anyone seeking driving lessons. Thank you, Fabio, for being an incredible instructor and making this learning journey truly enjoyable.
Hi Joe, thanks a lot for your very kind words and wish you all the best! Cheers, Fabio
Fantastic experience: I have just passed by test at first attempt with Fabio! I have to say that it was a very good experience learning with Fabio. He is patience and helps you to learn all the tricky parts of driving first time, he provides very good feedback and rewards. He helped me to feel confident and enjoy while learning, as sometimes can be a bit frustrating. I like that calm approach specially at the beginning. The 2 hours lessons also really help to practise what you learned in that day and I really like the structure of the lessons covering all the important steps that when learned it stick in you. I highly recommend him as instructor.
Hi Agostina, thank you so much! Enjoy your license! Cheers, Fabio
Fantastic experience: Having had a few driving instructors Fabio has been by far the best, and I wouldn’t have passed my test if it wasn’t for his teaching and support. I’ve been a pretty nervous learner and Fabio kept me at ease in every lesson, and today I passed my test first time with only 1 minor. For sure this is all down to Fabio’s skills as an instructor. If you’re thinking about getting into driving, definitely enquire with Fabio you will not regret it. Best driving instructor in brighton.
Thank you so much Travis! Cheers,Fabio
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time thanks to Fabio! Brilliant guy and a brilliant instructor, I couldn't recommend him more!
Hi Louis, Thanks a lot for your very kind words! Cheers, Fabio
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend Fabio/Marina Driving. Lovely guy, great instructor. Both my teens with Marina Driving and the youngest passed first time. Thank you, Fabio!
Hi Simon, Thanks a lot! Cheers, Fabio
Fantastic experience: I started driving lessons with Fabio with absolutely no driving experience or car knowledge. Throughout our lessons I not only learned to drive and get comfortable controlling the car but also gained confidence, especially in dealing with tricky driving situations, in decision making and staying calm under pressure. Thanks to Fabio I felt very prepared for my test, and passed first time with only one minor fault. I would definitely recommend anyone to take their lessons here!
Thank you so much Surayya, Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Having tried to learn with a few others in the past I can say Fabio is one of the best driving instructors out there! Patient and calming ideal for nervous learners like I was to start with. By the time we finished training I was not just confident in passing my test but confident to actually drive in real life. With his help I passed comfortably and I can not thank him enough for all his hard work and for never giving up on me even when I wanted to give up myself!
Hi Amina, thank you so much for your very kind words!
Fantastic experience: Fabio is an excellent teacher as well as being an all round great person. He is patient and understanding and really cares about your learning and progress. I passed first time after having no driving experience. From the very beginning it was clear we were going to take our time going through everything step-by-step so that I had a deep understanding of how to be a good driver - not just know how to pass my test. The in-car video system that he uses was an invaluable tool when it came to understanding my mistakes and how to correct them. I'm a very visual learner and being able to actually watch my drives helped me put a stop to bad techniques/habits very quickly. I'd recommend Fabio to anyone- I feel so confident and knowledgeable now moving on with my own driving journey and that is down to him!
Hi Billie, very kind of you, thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: I passed first time and couldn’t have done it without Fabio!! He has such a calm presence which made me feel safe, comfortable and capable of driving, and it was like having a friend in the passenger seat! I originally started a couple of years ago and had to stop, but when I was able to start again I knew I wanted to start learning with Fabio again. At times when I doubted my ability he encouraged and supported me and my confidence while driving grew thanks to Fabio. If I found something difficult, for example round-abouts, he was understanding and patient, and didn’t mind getting a little dizzy going round and round haha! - I appreciate him taking it at my pace and spending all the time I needed to get my head around the areas of driving that I found difficult without being made to feel silly or anything. He goes above and beyond for his learners giving extra hours when he can to not only make sure they are ready for their test but also importantly ready to drive solo. For all these reasons, I cannot recommend Fabio highly enough for anyone who is learning to drive, or needs refresher lessons to boost their confidence while driving on the roads. Thanks for everything Fabio!
Hello Lylah, thank you so much, all the best!
Fantastic experience: Great teacher, patient with lots and lots of experience. Lessons built throughout introducing different skill requirements, levels of difficulty and varying driving conditions. Couldn't recommend more and have already booked my daughter in. Also passed 1st time!
Thanks a lot Paul!
Fantastic experience: Getting your drivers license during the pandemic was one of the most stressful and frustrating challenges I have ever faced. Fabio is one of the best instructors I have ever met. He is very patient, adjusts to students' skill level and requirements, makes sure you understand and can control the car. It was a long learning process with many cancelations due to Covid-19, but I managed to pass first time! I would recommend Fabio to any novice driver.
Hi Izabela, thank you so much for your very kind words. Enjoy your license, definitely well deserved after all those setbacks!
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Brighton Marina Driving and Fabio enough. Started in late August 2020 right after the first lockdown and with only the equivalent of 6 months of learning I was able to pass my test first time. This was down to the fact that Fabio made sure I was 100% prepared for every aspect of driving, so that nothing phased me during the test. His great feedback during and after lessons meant I was able to understand clearly what I needed to improve on and I was able to recognise all the progress I had made on that day and the previous weeks. Do not hesitate to take your lessons with Fabio
Thanks a lot Herbie, lovely job passing first time!
Fantastic experience: Awesome! Passed my test at first attempt and it was super easy thanks to Fabio's training! He is a truly great instructor who knows what he is doing. Also Fabio is SUPER fun to be around. I wouldn't like it if my instructor was overly formal/boring and luckily Fabio is not that kind of a person. He makes you feel like a good friend (who happens to be a top driving instructor) is teaching you how to do drive. :D Also, a very important moment for me personally - I tend to doubt myself and I didn't really believe I could be a good driver, but Fabio was always very encouraging and he always knew how to motivate me to keep going. It's a great skill to have, not every teacher/instructor knows how to motivate people! Thanks Fabio!
Thanks a lot Michail, you truly deserved after all these months of stop and go, cheers!
Fantastic experience: Not being from Brighton, I had to rely on reviews and chose "Brighton Marina Driving Lessons" and I'm very glad that I did.Fabio made me feel relaxed, but confident from day one. After taking Fabio's advice, I actually spent a lot less than I had originally expected. I'm not the easiest person to get on with and that made me apprehensive, but Fabio's manner and teaching techniques worked perfectly and I passed first time with much fewer lessons than expected. My praise and gratitude could not get any higher.You can easily tell that this is Fabio's business because of the passion and professionalism that he puts into it. A great instructor and hopefully friend.Thank you Fabio.
Thank you so much Stephen, all the very best with everything and keep up the good job!
Fantastic experience: I would give more than 5 stars; Fabio it's a very good, nice and very patience instructor. If i will have to recommend to some one a driving school around Brighton, Brighton Marina Driving Lessons will be the first choice. All the best
Hi Vlad, thank you so much, keep practicing!
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time yesterday. Fabio was a great instructor - the lessons were relaxed and enjoyable. He was great at explaining things, and made sure I was completely prepared for the test, with lots of experience of driving around the area where it takes place. The process of starting was really simple - I just joined the waiting list and started as soon as a time became available. If you are looking for an instructor I'd recommend doing the same - I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Hi Robin and thank you so much, enjoy your license and up the Albion!
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Fabio enough as a driving instructor. I passed my test today, first time and I definitely couldn’t have done it without his dedication, effort and expertise. He was always very patient and spent time making sure I was as close to perfect as I could get, to ensure I was fully prepared for the test (both theory and practical). If this meant we did something many times, we did! I learned at a pace which suited me and was productive in my development. He allowed me to gain confidence despite being a nervous driver who didn’t find the idea of driving much fun initially! I now feel mostly confident at the wheel and I can’t thank him enough for all the time he spent ensuring I was ready to be an independent driver. My recommendation is to get on his waiting list and be patient, his ways of teaching and explaining are wonderful and clarified a lot of things for me, and therefore worth the wait. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for your very kind words, alice. Enjoy your driving license!
Fantastic experience: Where do I even start? when I think back to when I first started taking lessons with Fabio compared to where I am today having passed my test on the first go, it makes me appreciate all the time and effort he put in to make sure I learnt to drive using the best practices. I remember when I was first introduced to Fabio, I instantly had a good feeling about him as he is a very friendly guy with an engaging personality. This, coupled with his driving expertise, made the whole process of learning under him a positive experience and one I would highly recommend. As many people know, driving for the first time can be nerve-wracking and a bit overwhelming but Fabio made me feel at ease pretty quickly. He lets you learn at your own pace and in a way that’s most conducive to your development, guiding you as you progress until you’re ready for you test, and trust me when that time comes you’ll be as best prepared as possible. Fabio is honestly the best instructor I could have asked for and I can’t say enough good things, Grazie Fabio!
Thanks for your very kind words Nat, really appreciated, all the best!
Fantastic experience: Passed my test yesterday!!! Fabio is an amazing driving instructor. I e-mailed him explaining I was an older student - and had some reservations and nerves about driving - and he was very supportive and helpful from day 1. He is very patient, and he gave me the confidence to push myself in our lessons - whilst making sure to go at a pace I felt comfortable with. He instinctively knows when it's time to move on to something else and I was amazed at the speed I progressed under his instruction. Aside from the teaching, Fabio is a super friendly and really easy to get along with. He made me feel relaxed from the first lesson! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks so much.
Thanks a lot Nick, awasome journey, take care and enjoy driving, cheers!
Fantastic experience: Passed my test, great experience, great instructor, very friendly!
Thanks Greg, it's been a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: First of all, I'd like to thank you Fabio for being such a good instructor. He has been really patient and understanding. When I started my lessons I was a beginner (I did not know which one was the clutch) and now I can drive around without hesitation. For those who are reading this review, if you contact Fabio and he says that he has a waiting list, do not let this stop yourself to start with him. If you do not have the necessity to start immediately, the waiting will not be so long. Time goes so fast that you don’t realise and one day Fabio is going to contact you to start.
Ciao Colomba, all the best and grazie!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely wonderful driving lessons from Fabio and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn. I passed my test the first time which was down to Fabio’s patience and persistence in making sure my understanding and technique were spot on. Being a bit of a nervous learner I was put at ease by Fabio’s calm demeanour and reassurance and each week my improvement gave me more confidence. All the manoeuvres were practiced until I was comfortable and we would go over anything that I was not sure of. I really want to thank Fabio for teaching me to drive as his expertise was second to none.
Thank you so much Mackenzie, really appreciated, cheers!
Fantastic experience: Yesterday was such a rewarding day to pass my driving test, thank you so much Fabio for your patience and support it's been a great experience. James Small.
Thank you James, it's been an exciting journey, all the best!
Fantastic experience: I heard about Brighton Marina Driving through my brother, who’d been taking lessons with Fabio for a while before I turned 17. As soon as he had a slot available, he fit me in for lessons once a week at a very good rate. 18 months on, I have just passed my test and I could not have asked for anyone better. I was always quite nervous before lessons, but his calm nature and kindness made me feel very relaxed and comfortable in the car. He is an extremely thorough instructor, who taught me everything I needed to know for the old and new test (as of December 2017.) He helped me persevere and carry on driving when my confidence was knocked. I really struggled with learning some of the manoeuvres, but he took his time in teaching me little tips and tricks to help me learn. My parallel park now works perfectly every time! I cannot thank Fabio enough for sticking with me for this time, and helping me to see that little mistakes are not the end of the world. He’s taught me that driving should be enjoyable, not stressful. I’m now loving driving my own car confidently and calmly! He's an absolutely wonderful instructor, 100% recommendation from me! Thank you so much Fabio!
Brilliant achievement Lauren, very well deserved. Take care and thank you!
Fantastic experience: I pass my test today. I am happy to learn driving lessons with instructor Mr Fabio.Fabio is nice ,friendly ,reliable guy.Every time he pick me up on time or earlier in my place. When I have driving problem,he always has patience to explain and helps me to sort it out. Cheers for Fabio
Thanks a lot Fuzhou, enjoy driving around with family from now on, cheers!
Fantastic experience: Incredible teacher, Fabio was patient and kind, he taught everything in very high standard. It was an amazing experience i drove in many places (Brighton & Hove, Worthing, Burgess Hill, up to Gatwick ) to widen my horizon. I recommend Brighton Marina Driving to anyone wanting to get on the road. Happy with my first time passing!!
Thanks a lot Jim, all the best!
Fantastic experience: I chose to take my driving lessons in Brighton with Fabio at Brighton Marina Driving Lessons and was obviously extremely pleased with my first-time pass! I found Fabio to be a highly competent instructor on a professional level but easy-going and friendly on a personal level. This made the whole process a relaxed experience, which is precisely what you need when learning to do something that can be stressful for some people. All aspects of driving were taught at a steady pace, gradually moving from one to the next only when I felt completely ready. Fabio’s explanations were easy to understand and made even the most complicated manoeuvres very easy to pick up. He has great knowledge of the possible test routes, which removed any chance of an unpleasant surprise on the Big Day! Every class was well-organised and the SMS reminders on the day before each lesson were highly appreciated. I would not hesitate in highly recommending Fabio and his excellent car to anyone wanting to learn to drive in and around Brighton. Thanks again, Fabio, it was an excellent experience. I wish you all the best for the future!
Thank you so much Joe!
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my test first time, thanks to the driving lessons in Brighton I had with Fabio at Brighton Marina Driving Lessons. Fabio is an excellent driving instructor, upon first meeting him I had never been behind the wheel and was very nervous, but he put my mind at ease completely. Learning to drive is a stressful process, so I personally believe that the best quality a driving instructor can possess is to be able to contain that stress and even convert that into motivation, which Fabio has a knack for. Within a matter of months, I had gone from a shuddering slow start with little to no knowledge of driving or rules of the road, to complete autonomous driving. Fabio also answered every query I asked in a manner that made sense to me. Each question I asked would also lead him to tell me the theory behind why, which is a crucial and necessary component in learning to drive. This is only one of the ways that the man will go above and beyond in helping his learners learn to drive. The company is extremely flexible, competitively priced, and organised - even to the point where you'll recieve lesson reminders via text. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn to drive in Brighton to get in contact. Thanks for everything to Fabio and everyone at Brighton Marina Driving Lessons!
Thank you so much Zak and happy driving, cheers!
Fantastic experience: Fabio is excellent and very friendly teacher. I highly recommend him, because he makes you feel confident and and he always positive. Thank you for your help! :)
Congratulalok again Fru, and that's the end of my Hungarian...:)
Positive experience: If you want to learn how to drive safely and confidently Fabio is the man for you! He teaches you how to drive and carry out manoeuvres to a very high standard, this can make learning tough at times but the outcome is that you feel really comfortable on the road and very well prepared for the test. Highly recommended.
Many thanks for your kind words Karen!
Fantastic experience: I have to say that I was very apprehensive to begin driving and did put it off for a little while until I stumbled across Brighton Marina Driving School. I found the feedback regarding Fabio to put me more at ease and actually get me to begin to learn to drive. This was the best decision I could have made. Fabio is an amazing instructor! He is friendly, professional and adapts to your way of learning. I didn't think I'd pass my test first time in a million years but today I did just that, and I really couldn't have done it without Fabio. He doesn't just teach you what you need to know to pass your test, he teaches you how to drive properly and gives you the confidence to drive independently. It's difficult to put in to words how brilliant Fabio has been for me so I will simply say that I could not recommend anybody better to learn and share this journey with. I'm gonna miss our fun drives every week Cheers Fabio!
Thank you so much Brandon, it's been a funny journey indeed! All the very best for the future finally without buses as I know you are sick of them, cheers!
Fantastic experience: Having looked at the various driving schools in and around Brighton, reading the positive testimonials and reviews, I decided that Brighton Marina Driving would be the one for me . Starting in February, I would say that I was a fairly nervous driver having read many a horror story online (not advisable to anyone looking to start) but was soon put at ease and reassured by Fabio. His expert knowledge of the roads, paired with his professionalism, friendliness and patience (quite a lot was needed as we tried to tackle some manoeuvres!), made for an excellent teacher. I couldn't recommend Fabio enough!
Thank you Charlotte!
Fantastic experience: I have never believed that I will take any driving lesson, drive a car at all or even pass a test on the first atempt, but guess what? All that happened with Fabio and his driving school! My journey started last year in September. It was a long way to place where I am now with my test pass certificate. There were tears and laugh. Fabio is very professional and patient. He treats every student as an individual and finds a different way to teach them. I do recommend Fabio, because when you take your test with him, you know you are ready. So don't think too long and book your lessons with Fabio! :)
Thank you Klaudia!
Positive experience: It's been a real pleasure to work with Fabio el Maestro to finally get this long overdue item out of the way. Great teaching skills, great tools available and more than necessary patience to make you understand how to correct your behaviour on the road to the correct one, I can only recommend him to all people in Brighton who want a tailored approach and guaranteed success!
Thanks a lot Alexis!
Fantastic experience: Fabio is a great instructor and a very nice guy. Besides the usual instructions, he also gave me loads of extra tips for the driving test, and now I have my driving license in hands! Recommended!
Thank you Peter!
Fantastic experience: Could not rate Fabio highly enough. After four years without driving, I was nervous and lacking confidence, but decided it was time to try again. He has a great way of putting you at ease, increasing your confidence and teaching you not just to pass your test, but to drive properly. The whole process and experience was fantastic; Fabio is patient, calm, friendly and a talented teacher. I'm pleased to say that after three months with Fabio, I passed first time, and can honestly say you could not ask for a better driving instructor. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Luke!
Fantastic experience: Fabio is a very professional and experienced instructor. He is very patient and conducts his lessons according to individual needs helping learners to overcome blocks and fears. After failing three times with two previous instructors I thought I would never pass my test but luckily I successfully passed my test with Fabio. I strongly recommend him to any one - young and old!
Fantastic experience: When I started lessons with Brighton Marina Driving Lessons, I was a very nervous and uncomfortable driver. Fabio allowed me to learn to drive in a way and at a pace that was suitable to me. He was calm and focused and always applied the right balance of clear instruction and constructive support. I was not the easiest student, but Fabio soon got me to the point where I enjoyed driving and actually looked forward to the lessons. By the time I took my test, I felt relaxed and confident about my driving and comfortable that I could cope in any situation on the roads. And I passed first time! Something I NEVER expected! If you want to learn not just to drive, but to enjoy it, then this would be a great choice for you.
Thank you so much Martin, enjoy!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Fabio is a consummate professional, relaying his driving expertise in an accomplished and relaxed way. After first instruction over a decade ago, and my children now growing up, I decided I needed to make a second attempt. What a difference the right instructor makes! Fabio pushes you just hard enough to increase your confidence, keep you challenged while being safe. On my test I was highly nervous, but the professional training kicked in as soon as the assessor sat in the car, and I passed with only a few minor faults. Thanks, Fabio!
Fantastic experience: After having passed my test today with Brighton Marina Driving Lessons I have a few things to say: Learning to drive with Fabio was an excellent experience. He teaches with a very relaxed and effortless demeanour which had a very positive effect on how I felt and drove. I always felt at ease while driving, even when making mistakes; because Fabio would always reassure me to take my time and drive properly. He showed me step-by-step how to complete maneuvers and every other type of driving you could possibly imagine. Learning with Fabio has taught me a lot about driving, and myself as a person. His patience and dedication to his learners is unmatched and choosing any other school, in my eyes, would be unimaginable.
Fantastic experience: As my third set of lessons, I can honestly say that learning with Fabio has been by far the most laid back and stress-free driving experience that I've tried. He's a hugely patient and calming influence as an instructor - two traits whose importance cannot be stressed enough! I would recommend taking your lessons with Brighton Marina Driving School without question! It's a shame that now I've passed I won't get those weekly lessons!
Fantastic experience: passed with fabio many fun lessons :) fab teacher would happily recomend to others its time and money well spent
Fantastic experience: First time passer. After having no previous driving experience, Fabio worked hard and got me ready within 35 hours. The lessons were well planned but also flexible to whatever needed working on. Fabio is a very capable teacher who is very patient and instills confidence in the learner. He allows the learner a lot of freedom to learn a style comfortable to them but steers you in the right direction if an issue arises. I couldn't have asked for a more friendly, experienced instructor. If you choose Fabio, you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time with Brighton Marina Driving Lessons, I am very pleased and grateful for the quality of my training with Fabio Fosi. I am very pleased with the lessons and training up to my test and I can safely say that every lesson helped me to passing! if you wish to learn to drive then I would recommend no one else but this firm as Fabio in my eyes is the perfect instructor! thank you Fabio!
Fantastic experience: Past first time after taking lessons for several weeks. I would heavily recommend this driving school as you are unlikely to find a more professional and dedicated instructor. Fabio provides you access to online resources which can also be very useful for passing your theory test, for the money you pay its well worth it.
Fantastic experience: I would be more than happy to recommend this firm for any beginners or experienced. A wonderful driver to learn the relevant dos and donts in driving. I could manage to pass with zero faults! Well organised lessons and worth paying for it. Go for them if you learn relaxed and pass with flying colors. Thanks a million Fabio
Fantastic experience: Today I passed my driving test first time!!!!!! I am so excited….. I own it all to Fabio, could not have done it without him. I am a very anxious person and I felt at ease with Fabio’s approach. He is a very calm and easy going person. He has dealt with my different mood swings in a very professional and person tailored way. He is able to adapt his teaching in accordance to learner’s needs, he also provides an in-car system which allowed me to fully understand certain driving mistakes I kept making. Fabio is very passionate about his job I will strongly recommend him as driving instructor he is the best. Thank you very much Fabio!!!!.
Fantastic experience: Just today passed my test with Fabio. Couldn't of asked for a better teacher !!! consistent in his teaching methods and gets the best out of you ! I would highly recommend Fabio because of his professional approach and at the same time his friendly , patient approach , thanks FABIOOOO!!!
Fantastic experience: Fabio didn't just teach me to pass the test, but to actually drive! I have just passed my test and feel very confident about driving alone or with other people in the car. Fabio is very patient and helps you develop techniques and tricks to help with any difficult manoeuvres. The road camera also helped me realise where I had gone wrong and clarify any confusion over road positioning and signs. Thank you Fabio!
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test in just 6 days! After an 8 month break from driving, I went with an intensive driving course with Fabio and because of his hard work on understanding my weaknesses and strengths, he worked really hard with me on improving my roundabout skills and the nitty gritty of the driving. Fabio understood how important it was for me to pass this and made time for my lessons. I am really happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to pass their driving test. Thanks Fabio x
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time with Fabio today! I restarted my training after a 5yr break and thinking I would never be able to do it, to passing in just 6 months. Fabio is a brilliant instructor, if you don't understand how to do something he will find a way to teach you, as I discovered after a very tough but rewarding lesson on reversing around a corner! It made me cringe every time he got his laptop out to show me how I'd done something wrong or missed a roadsign, but it stopped me from continuing to make the same mistakes. Thank you so much Fabio - couldn't have done it without you!
Fantastic experience: Fabio is an awesome instructor who lets you learn driving at your pace so you feel at ease. The on board camera helps you to understand your driving on another level and is really useful. He's the only instructor in Brighton to do this and it's so helpful. He's easy to get along with and genuinely makes lessons funny as well as constructive. I couldn't have done it with out him and would happily recommend him to anyone. Fabio you are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test with Fabio. Fitting lessons in around a full time job and three kids was tricky but Fabio was really flexible and made it as easy as it could be.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test after being with Fabio for a few months. I would definitely recommend Fabio as a driving instructor, he is experienced and the lessons are of a high quality. Fabio is easy going, but very passionate in his teaching and will go above and beyond to help you achieve high standards of driving. I had particular trouble with reversing manouveres and he managed to find a unique way to help me master it. Thanks so much Fabio!!!!
Fantastic experience: YAY. Passed my driving test first time before all my friends at the age of 17! Fabio is an amazing instructor who takes time to allow you to really understand things, he has the ability to make one feel completely at ease - even on your first lesson. Never a dull moment and a really enjoyable way of learning. He was there for me from the first lesson all the way through to sending me telepathic brain waves from the back of the car during my exam:D Could not of done it with out him and would happily recommend him to anyone. THANK YOU FABIO! :)
Fantastic experience: I've just passed my test first time and would recommend this driving school to anyone! Fabio is a great instructor who makes every lesson fun and relaxed. He also has camera equipment that enables you to review your driving, which not many, or any, other driving schools have! thanks so much fabio!!!!!
