Fantastic experience: I passed my test in Plymouth with instructor Pete. I had a great time learning to drive with Pete! Pete made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel from day one. He really understood how I learned and his patience, clear instructions, and calm demeanor were exactly what I needed. He was always so encouraging and believed in me 100%, which I believe helped me pass on my first try. Highly recommend!!!

I passed first time :) I would definitely recommend Kirstey to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Ryan from Lendrums driving school has been amazing to learn from. Ryan had to not only teach me to drive but had to help me get past trauma from previous experiences of driving. Ryan made the lessons fun and relaxing. Highly recommend learning from Ryan for those who struggle with anxiety or any other mental health/learning disability’s. He’s adaptive to you as a student and will work at your pace. I have finally passed my test and will honestly miss my lessons. Thank you Ryan!
Well done amazing results
Fantastic experience: I had Ryan Lindley as my driving instructor. He was patient and relaxed even when I wasn’t the best driver. He knows what he’s doing and is very aware of the road, gave me great advice and clearly cares a lot about his students. He was not afraid to take me on motorways and to even teach other practical skills that aren’t essential for the test. All around nice guy to talk to as well. Thanks Ryan
Great job well done and appreciate the review
Fantastic experience: I had manual lessons with Andrew. From the beginning to the end he has always remained patient, composed and has always been able to clearly explain complex topics in ways that make it easier to remember and retain the information. He will always compliment and praise the smallest and biggest achievements so, I really can not recommend him enough!
Thank you for your review and congratulations
Fantastic experience: Gavin, my instructor, is an amazing teacher and guy who helps with anything you need, gives you great confidence, and is super patient. Fun to talk to, which eases stress.
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: Recently passed first time with a huge thanks to my instructor Peter Chapple. I had driving experience but he helped shape me ready for my test. Extremely patient and calming in the car, and always down for some laughs. It was the perfect mix of learning the serious stuff, and hanging out with a friend. Highly recommend him
Huge congratulations
Fantastic experience: My instructor Ryan was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I was an extremely nervous road user, Ryan's approach and style of teaching not only gave me the skills and knowledge to pass my test but allowed me to grow in confidence with each session. I found he went above and beyond to put me at ease but also ensure he was delivering quality lessons packed full of all the information I needed and more. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: I just passed my test first time and it’s all thanks to Peter! Peter has a knack for making even the most nerve wracking situations feel light hearted and enjoyable with his sense of humor. His patience is truly commendable, as he never hesitated to go over something until I fully understood it. I highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a driving instructor who not only gets results but also makes the learning fun and stress free. See you on the road Pedro✨ !
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test with Gavin Hobbs as my instructor. Gavin is a really chilled and friendly instructor, and I couldn't recommend more. Thanks again Gavin
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of being taught by Gavin, who was incredibly patient and generally incredible nice. Gavin was able to teach me and gradually transfer driving responsibilities to me as I grew more confident in my abilities and more confident in my decision making. When lessons were finished, Gavin would go through the strengths and weaknesses of the drive, which would allow me to see weak areas that needed to be focused on in the coming lessons. Overall, Gavin was a great instructor and I could not recommend him enough - and with his guidance and patience I passed first time!
Thank you for a lovely review and congratulations
Fantastic experience: Passed my test yesterday after learning with Kirstey. She’s been very patient and has made sure I felt confident in every aspect of driving. Lessons with Kirstey are never stressful and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Congratulations on your success and thank you for your kind review.
Fantastic experience: Been learning with Gavin Hobbs at Lendrum’s and he is such a patient instructor, coming up with really useful ways to learn the content, and is an approachable and calm person. I would highly recommend Gavin or anyone at Lendrum’s to learn to drive!
Thank you for your review and congratulations
Fantastic experience: I'm greatful to Pete who was great patience, understanding and pleasant demeanor I passed my driving practical. I desperately needed to pass the test because it is very necessary for our family. I highly recommended him to anyone wanting to learn how to drive.
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: 10/10 would use Lebdrums again. Ryan and I set a goal when I first got behind the wheel to pass within a year and a year later I passed first time. He had endless patience over the time we spent together and got me to a point where I wasn't panicking before my test. I had Jo experience before starting my lessons so my ability to drive was all down to Ryan. I would absolutely recommend this school and their drivers
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: My instructor Gavin Hobbs has been the best driving instructor, without his training and help I wouldn’t have been able to pass my test with only two minor faults. He’s a very patient instructor and is great at coming up with new ways to explain different topics which was beyond helpful. I would highly recommend lendrums to everyone.
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: I learnt with Ryan in Plymouth and he was truly the best driving instructor I have ever had a lesson with. I began as quite a nervous driver and really struggled with my confidence driving around a new city but that changed so quickly. Ryan was not only an absolutely brilliant teacher but I found myself laughing through every lesson. I really miss my lessons and passed me test with zero minors. Not only did Ryan teach me to pass the test but he truly taught me to drive! Thank you Ryan!

Congratulations and thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: I started lessons, with no driving knowledge at all however Ryan started teaching me the basics of driving straight away. With each lesson Ryan helped me gain my confidence while driving and was always able to answer my many questions relating to the rules of the road, driving in general etc. I would definitely recommend having lessons with him
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: Kirstey was very helpful and friendly. A lot of driving instead of just demonstrations, with tips to help along the way. Would recommend to friends or family
Thank you for your review Josh, much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I started my lessons knowing absolutely nothing not even what the pedals were and my instructor Ryan was very good and made me feel relaxed in the car as he was very patient and funny. I have passed my test today first time and I’d say the lessons I had were very effective.
Huge congratulations
Fantastic experience: What can I say...John Lendrum is an incredible trainer! John help me through every step of my training to become an ADI. I know I was not always the easiest trainee and I caused him a lot of headaches over the last year but I genuinely wouldn't be where I am now without him. I would recommend John to anybody who is thinking of becoming an ADI.
Thank you Rachael and it was a pleasure to be on the journey, Rocky at times for you, but your sheer determination and hard work has paid off, now to enjoy being an ADI , I’m still here when you need as standards check next Regards John
Fantastic experience: Lendrum's Driving school, I had a instructor called Andy who was super helpful and really was a big help to me.I remember on my first lesson how nervous I was and Andy made sure it was a fun and exiting introduction to learning to drive. Unfortunately I had to part ways with Lendrum's at the start of this year due to college timetables changing, however I kept driving in my own car with family and I passed my driving test today. Massive thank you to Lendrum's and Andy for the lessons, Would fully recommend to people who are looking to learn.
Congratulations
Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of being trained by John Lendrum, himself to become a qualified driving instructor. His training and dedication to my learning is amazing. I have felt completely at ease throughout the process. John is dedicated to each and everyone of his PDIs and ADIs providing ongoing guidance and support. If I ever have any questions and concerns he will always get back to me, even if he is on holiday. John has imparted a lot of knowledge already and I feel like we have only touched the surface of it as well. Thanks for everything and for the continued ongoing support.
Thank you Ryan
Fantastic experience: My experience with Lendrums has been outstanding from start to finish. Kris Gregory is a wonderful instructor with lots of patience! The lessons have been well planned and my progress tracked to make sure I was ready for my test. I’ve passed today first time and I could not be more delighted. Thank you, Kris and the team at Lendrums.
Congratulations what an amazing result for you. Was a pleasure to meet you and even better to see you have passed.
Fantastic experience: Andy was a very patient and knowledgeable instructor. Who helped me immensely get to a test ready state. The lessons are very fairly priced and I couldn't of asked for a better instructor
Well done Curtis so great to see you pass.
Fantastic experience: Had a really good experience learning with Andy. Made me feel calm and he stayed calm and pragmatic when I made mistakes, explaining them clearly and sensitively. Good experience and would recommend!
Congratulations and thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: My lessons with Andy were excellent! He is a very patient, calm and knowledgeable instructor. Each lesson was well structured and I felt like I got the most I could out of the time. Highly recommended
Congratulations on a pass and thank you for a lovely review.
Fantastic experience: A great experience with my instructor, Andy Mossford, who was very helpful with perfecting the finer details and supportive. The lessons were a good length as you could get a lot in while still being able to concentrate at the end. Well worth the money.
Congratulations and thank you for you review
Fantastic experience: I have just completed my training with John from Lendrums. After 21 years in one industry it was a difficult decision to change career but John has supported me all the way and made the process clear and easy. The training was fun, informative and relaxed. It's a decision I do not regret in the slightest and couldn't have done it without John. Cannot recommend highly enough.
It’s been a pleasure to help you on a new career path Andrew, and look forward helping you get stronger and eventually become a Ordit instructor trainer
Fantastic experience: Lendrums Driving School is highly recommend, especially for those would like to have a genuine driving instructor who is only after your success. Thanks be to God, I got the best driving instructor I could ever ask for via Lendrums Driving School. Fenella is awesome; very encouraging, patient and professional. She taught me things required - despite driving in my home country for about 17years, I was still learnt a lot of new tips from her, which I applied during my test and after. We always had a great laugh during driving lessons & I honestly know I made a new friend :-) On occasions, I forgot to use my glasses and drove before realising.. So on a test day, Fenella pasted a big picture of a pair of glasses on the dashboard of the car, to remind me of the glasses! PRICELESS! I almost fell off my seat.. LOL! (Still laughing... Haha!). I’d try to attach the picture for you to see. Lendrums Driving School is definitely the number 1 choice. Thank you x
Congratulations on your pass
Fantastic experience: Passed thanks to Andy. Great instructor would recommend to anyone. Very patient and generally a great teacher.
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Managed to pass with ~15 lessons from my amazing instructor Fenella! Fenella was extremely professional and supportive, always helping me step outside of my comfort zone and improve the areas I was weakest. Her expert knowledge of Southampton's roads meant I was particularly confident handling tricky junctions and corners. This was especially useful as I'm a uni student and not local. Also made use of John's extensive knowledge and experience in my mock test which was extremely useful in giving me the confidence to pass the test. Thank you!! Would definitely recommend this school.
Well done
Fantastic experience: When I was looking for someone to learn to drive with Lendrums really stuck out due to its amazing reviews, and let me tell you, they really are that good! I passed first time with Christine, not only was she an amazing instructor who really listened and understood but she was such a lovely down to earth person who really made you feel at ease. Couldn’t get Christine enough praise if I tried. Once again, thank you Christine! And to anyone else looking for someone to teach them, look no further :).
Thank you
Fantastic experience: My experience with Lendrum was fantastic , especially with Fanela , she was kind , flexible , understandable and supportive in all times . Thank you very much , I would definitely recommend this Driving School to everyone.
