Adrian Thulborn's School of Motoring: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Adrian is the greatest professional driving instructor you can think off. As a new driver and recently moved to the UK, passing my test was a nightmare. Adrian took his time and was very patient with me in every test practice. Adrian guided me to gain confidence and with a great attention to details. I can 100% state that…..With Adrian as your instructor, you are just a foot step away from passing your driving test, so far as you listen to all what he points out to you. “If you want to PASS your driving Test!!!!! ****** ****The only place is Adrian Thulborn's School of Motoring***

THANK YOU SO MUCH ADY.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test with Ady and all I can say is he is the best instructor ever, had two others before him and nobody was as patient or as professional as him. He helped me with my anxiety and made me into the confident driver that I am today! 10/10 will always recommend Ady!
Congratulations! I really appreciate your kind words. All the best on the roads, Adrian.
Fantastic experience: Whole heartedly recomend Adrian, all three of my children passed first time! Really good with young drivers giving them confidence to succeed. Thank You!
All amazing results! I really appreciate the review. All the best, Adrian.
Fantastic experience: It has been Adrian to the rescue from the very first lesson. A previous instructor had left Verity without any confidence and a few failed tests. We are so impressed with Adrian! He is professional with the ability to adapt his teaching style to get the best out of a student. His commitment to helping Verity build confidence has been amazing and as parents we feel he has not just got her to pass the test but really provided the skills to become an excellent driver for the future. Verity passed this week and we just can’t thank Adrian enough.
Thank you for the review. Verity did amazingly! All the best for her on the roads, Adrian.
Fantastic experience: I hadn’t drove for a little over ten years and felt I needed refresher lessons before getting back on the roads. I came across Adrian’s page via Google and liked that one of his main principles was instilling confidence. Three lessons later and I now feel more confident to drive anywhere - more at ease than when I originally passed my test. Adrian was brilliant and I definitely would recommend him to anyone, made me feel comfortable straight away.
Thank you so much for the kind review. It has been a pleasure. All the best, Adrian.
Fantastic experience: Adrian took me around many of the common test routes of Grantham and thoroughly explained how to navigate some of the trickier parts as well as improving my general driving skills. Very friendly, patient and skilled instructor.
Thank you for the review. A fantastic result! All the best for the future, Adrian.
Fantastic experience: We cannot thank Ady enough, he is an exceptionally patient instructor, who has the innate ability to alter his instructing style to suit the requirements of his students. Although we live in Oxfordshire, after our son recently passed his test, we didn't hesitate in organising for Ady to teach our younger son later in the year.
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to me. All the best, Adrian.

Fantastic experience: After having a bad experience with another driving instructor I was about to give up driving,but then I accidentally found Andy..and im pleased I did. Driving lessons with Ady was fun and stress free exactly what 20 weeks pregnant woman would wish for Have not met any other so patient and full of knowledge driving instructor as Ady. Now having driving license for 2.5 years I can say that it was well worth all the hard work and I know that I would not have a driving license if I haven't found Ady. Highly recommended driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Adrian is an excellent instructor. He puts you at ease from your very first lesson and is extremely patient. I really enjoyed my lessons as he is easy to talk to and makes them interesting. I had another instructor previously but the lessons with him were too serious and made me nervous, Ady was the complete opposite. I passed first time with 0 minors thanks to his brilliant instruction. The examiner at the test centre complimented his pass rate and said I was lucky to have him. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ady to anyone looking to drive, he really is amazing.
