Fantastic experience: Suzanne was a great instructor for my daughter. She was very friendly and patient, and was very thorough in her teaching. She definitely gets them test ready - providing really useful tips and guidance, but also prepares them to be confident drivers once passed. Our daughter passed her test first time, with no driver faults! Thank you Suzanne

Jake Quinn 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of taking a couple of 2hr refresher lessons with Greg. He is incredibly passionate about teaching, and it shows in his lessons - he is a very proficient instructor. I hadn't driven in 10 years and felt totally at ease with him, he was exceptionally open to customise lessons and was able to very clearly explain and demonstrate all aspects of driving to me in a short space of time. I couldn't recommend him more. Thanks Greg.

Joe Wilson 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Greg is a brilliant driving instructor. He is a very patient, engaging instructor who made every lesson fun. Greg taught me not just to pass the test but to be a good driver, and as a result I was able to pass my test first time in an unfamiliar town. I would recommend MTG driving to anyone!

Miya Downes 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: After driving with 2 different driving instructors and failing my first test, I was recommended MTG driving school by a friend. Greg is an amazing instructor and his lessons are structured in a way that made learning easy and enjoyable. Greg is very professional and gives constructive and clear feedback, but also makes you feel at ease. I wish I had Greg as a teacher the first time around, would 100% recommend to anyone!

Charlie George 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had Greg as my instructor, and passed first time. The only time I spent in the Car before my test was with him & the amount I learned in such a short space of time was brilliant. There’s no pressure to do anything or make certain amounts of progress, after I passed my test my examiner asked which instructor I worked with, I told him it was Greg & he said “ he’s one of the best around”. 100% recommend Greg.

Scarlett O’Neill 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend MGT driving school enough!! Greg was an amazing driving instructor. His lessons were always clearly structured, and he also always incorporated the area of driving I wanted to focus on into his lessons. His feedback was clear, and he always made me feel comfortable and calm in the lessons. In just a few months with Greg, I saw a significant improvement in my driving, and I passed my test first time.

Fantastic experience: I had Greg as my driving instructor, I would highly recommend him as he always ensured the lessons were productive with special attention to any areas I had struggled with in the previous lesson, he was a great help in getting me ready for and confident enough to take my test and pass first time as well as actually showing interest in my driving journey whereas some instructors maybe wouldn’t pay as much attention to it. Overall a great instructor 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Just got a first time pass with one minor, couldn't have done it without Greg. Every lesson with Greg was enjoyable, and he always gave clear and detailed feedback to help improve my car control and decision making. With Greg I not only learned how to pass, I learned to be a good driver. Getting lessons from MTG will be worth it for sure.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Suzanne and Greg who helped Dan pass his driving test FIRST TIME with just a couple of minors. He is thrilled. Exactly the right level of tuition for a headstrong teenager, boosting confidence and teaching. Both the styles of Suzanne and Greg compliment each other wonderfully - calm patient and super knowledgable. Brilliant that they fitted in lessons around sixth form (Howard) timetables too. HIGHLY recommend. Dan is now looking forward to the Motorway lessons too. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: I could not have asked for a better instructor than Greg. He made everything easy to understand and gave detailed diagrams when needed. I felt as though he wanted me to pass as much as I did, giving me crucial lessons on areas I needed to improve in the run up to my test. The lessons were serious while enjoyable. I made great progress from the basics in quieter areas all the way up to driving on the A3 and driving through Kingston. All of this helped me to pass first time.

Fantastic experience: Greg was an amazing driving instructor and the best I have come across in the past 3 years. I had a few motorway driving lessons with him after driving in town for 6 months. He was very patient and professional, and really helped build my confidence. He noted in mind all the mistakes I made during each lesson and drew simple diagrams to help me understand them easily. He made sure I could get the most out of my sessions. I would strongly recommend Greg to anyone!
