Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time last week after learning to drive for 6 months with Sue she was so lovely and a great instructor definitely recommend.

Eve Richardson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Go with Sam!!! I passed first time a few weeks ago and I can’t thank Sam enough for her support leading up. I had a bad experience with a previous driving instructor who knocked my confidence and then a friend recommended Sam. She is so patient and explains everything clearly and although she helped me greatly with my driving I feel my biggest gain from her teaching would be reducing my driving anxiety and making me believe that I could do it. She makes driving lessons individual to you and understands that everyone learns at a different pace. Thankyou Sam!!!

Wendy Z 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sam is AMAZING! I failed twice this year and lost all my hope until I found Go Drive, and they recommended Sam to me. She has been an instructor for 25 years, super experienced and patient, totally understands everything and every single detail. After a designed course from Samantha, I passed the test this Monday! I cannot describe how happy I am. If you feel you need a driving instructor, if you are losing confidence in driving, if you want to pass your driving test efficiently, please go to Sam, you will say be amazed!

Fantastic experience: I passed my test today after having bad experience with many teachers. I was loosing hope this year when a friend asked me to call Julie from Go drive. I did weekly lessons with Julie who was the best teacher ever. She was patient with me and provided me honest feedback throughout this journey. She made me feel I can do this and I did it today. I couldn’t have done this without her. Thanks Julie.

Fantastic experience: Sue has been such a brilliant instructor. I've come to driving a bit later in my thirties, and have been very nervous about it.

Fantastic experience: Sam was a fantastic instructor. She explained things clearly and carefully, and was patient when things didn't click the first time. She didn't seem to mind when I asked stupid questions and was happy to go at my pace. She also sees the funny side in things which can really help when you're having a nightmare session! Thanks to Sam I passed my test first time :)

D Kapoor 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Julie has been a fantastic instructor who took the time to explain concepts and made sure that I went into my test as calm and prepared as possible. Having dyspraxia, driving was quite a challenge and simultaneously nerve racking. Julie was the best instructor I have had so far who understood this and worked around it. I found her car's smart features also made it a little easier to learn in than older models. Very happy to have passed my first time and I would highly recommend Julie to all!

Kanyarat Thompson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Thank you my instructor Sue who helped me to pass first time. She has been very kind, patient and put me at ease when I was nervous or made mistakes. Each session was 90 mins to two hours long built my confidence and learning all the aspects, also not stressing out or rushing. I was definitely not an easy student to teach lol also Im an adult learner who is not from the UK. But Sue helped me passed! I love our learning time in the practice car.

Ashton Mahoney 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Samantha as a driving instructor, not only did I pass with my first test with her, but I have gained massive confidence in my ability to drive aswell as a deeper knowledge of interpreting other drivers on the road and how to deal with difficult situations. Not only was Samantha a good laugh but also a very good instructor who I felt comfortable and confident in the car with.

Fantastic experience: Nailed the Practice Test on My First Try with Julie!If you're searching for a driving school that will make your journey thrilling and successful, look no further. I highly recommend Go Drive school. I enrolled in the semi-intense course at this driving school, and it was a game-changer. I passed the practice test on my very first try, thanks to my excellent instruction Julie. She was patient and professional, guiding me every step of the way, and I had a lot of fun. This school is the ultimate driving adventure!

Georgina Chamberlin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having recently passed my driving test, in 30 hours, I cannot rate GoDrive enough. Julie is such a patient teacher who makes you feel comfortable, even if you make big mistakes. The car I learnt in with Julie is great, with a birdeye view of reversing so you can always see if you will make it in the bay (great for your test) and a lovely drive feel. In addition Julie has been an instructor for over 20 years so has lots of handy slogans: “new Road,new mirrors” and “less space, less speed” for example. She truly has some great tips. But overall I have loved learning to drive with Go Drive, and will actually miss my lessons with Julie as we would often make ourselves laugh, I cannot recommend them enough for any age!

Fantastic experience: Julie at GoDrive is an absolutely fantastic instructor, who is informative, calm and patient. I’ve been through a few instructors (not at GoDrive) and none compare to Julie! I wouldn’t have passed my test without her! Thanks very much, you’re simply the best!

Rob Poole 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would very strongly recommend Julie to anyone looking to learn! After trying to learn two other times and giving up because of the stress of it, Julie was great and really helped me pass my test- over a 10-day intensive course! I was amazed I was able to pass in such a short space of time, it was quite a daunting prospect before starting, but its a huge testament to Julie that I never once felt overwhelmed or stressed during the lessons.
