Polka Driving School in Croydon

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience learning to drive with Gosia. She was very patient and supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Gosia to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test on the first try thanks to Gosia! She was a very thorough, patient and calm instructor who makes sure her students absorb the knowledge and guidance she provides without overwhelming them. I found her visual diagrams and the way we talked through mistakes and improvement areas particularly helpful. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Gosia ther are no words on how much you have helped me with my lessons very single one of my lessons was like having best friend next to you and you teach me so well with my other instructor I did not even understand what he was asking me to do with you it was so easy you seen the potential in me that I did not see and with your determination I have pass on 6.12.2024on my first try thanku so much for everything

Fantastic experience: Gosia is very friendly, extremely supportive and informative. She always made sure that she was available when I could make time, even at short notice. She is very conscientious - making detailed notes to give feedback at the end of every lesson. It was a pleasure to learn from Gosia and I will gladly recommend classes with her to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Gosia is a fun, friendly and fair instructor, she is very conscientious and professional, giving good, constructive feedback and monitoring your progress from lesson to lesson. I was dreading having driving lessons but Gosia made it enjoyable. Very happy to have now passed but will miss her company and lovely car!

Fantastic experience: Gosia is the best instructor in London! Professional, calm,, she regularly informes about a progress you make and what you need to focus more on, + funny :) I became very confident driver in no time :) First exam passed with only one minor. Thank you Gosia - keep doing it because you are the best !!!

Fantastic experience: It was an exceptionally great experience learning at Polka Driving school. Gosia would explain concepts well and helped me improve on my weaknesses. I recently passed the test and highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I’ll like to say big Thank you for Gosia very good driving teacher highly recommended it’s not me pass my daughter is well pass so she knows what she doing

Fantastic experience: Thank you Gosia for being the best driving instructor I’ve ever had! I’m so happy I managed to pass first time in Morden. The intensive course is great as you can fit lots of driving hours in a short space of time and get comfortable with the road. Gosia will always be focused on your driving and will let you know your strengths/weaknesses so you know what you are doing right and what you need to work on. She is very patient and has many helpful tips which helped me a lot when I had my test. Thank you for believing in me

Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor!!! Gosia is a wonderful, nice and very patient person. At the beginning of my driving adventure, I was afraid to go on the road. She patiently and slowly built my self-confidence to such an extent that I passed the test with two small mistakes! I recommend Gosia to anyone who doesn't feel confident behind the wheel, a few lessons with her turn driving into pure pleasure. Thank you for everything and specially for making my dream come true! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Nie wiem jak opisac to jak bardzo jestem wdzieczna Gosi za poswiecony czas,za cierpliwosc ktorą okazała ucząc mnie.Jej starania zeby zrobic ze mnie kierowce były ogromne.Dziekuje Ci Gosiu .Jestes najlepsza na swiecie ❤️

Fantastic experience: Gosia was extremely supportive and informative from the very first lesson. She always made sure to make extra time for me, even at short notice. She took her time to take me through all of the relevant routes and mark scheme of the driving examiners. I have had two instructors before her and there is honestly no comparison. I managed to pass with no minors! I would strongly strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have more than 25 years of driving experience across Middle East, Europe and USA. I have had two driving instructors, prior to arranging lessons with Polka Driving School, and will confirm that Gosia is the best! The quality of instructions during the lessons and passion of Gosia helped me to pass my driving exam from the first attempt. I would highly recommend Polka Driving School to anyone who would like to become a good and responsible driver in the UK.

Fantastic experience: I contacted Gosia for refresher driving lessons. We did a total of 9 hours together. Gosia covered all aspects of road driving and motorway driving. She was very knowledgeable and trustworthy. She was contentious and good at time management. She was making notes of strengths and areas of improvement and would make sure to instill good habits in driving. Her ultimate goal is to make the roads safer for everyone. Our lessons started and finished on time. In our motorway lesson she was actively thinking and re-routing away from stand still traffic to make sure we were constantly driving and making the most of each lesson. I would highly recommend Gosia to anyone looking to gain confidence in driving. Gosia was lovely to work with and I felt safe every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a driving instructor look no further - you have found the perfect one! After doing some research myself, I decided to go with Gosia for intensive lessons for my test and it's the best decision I've ever made! She was very quick to respond and was engaging and friendly since day 1. She was professional, patient and ensured to fine tune my areas of weaknesses and transformed me into a confident driver. She used diagrams and drawings to explain different situations to me which I found extremely helpful - I truly enjoyed the entire learning experience. I passed first time today and I cannot praise Gosia enough!

Fantastic experience: I took my first lesson with Gosia today, and I am so happy I chose her to be my driving instructor. She is patient, calming, professional and extremely friendly. It makes my experience so much more enjoyable, as she makes me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. I have already recommended her to mum who will also be taking lessons with her, and I will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to learn. I look forward to my next lesson

Fantastic experience: Polka driving school has been a great influence in my exam passing as soon as. Gosia is a patient and excellent instructor and a very positive person. She has been very helpful and kind through my journey towards acquiring my UK driving license. Will recommend her intensive class for whoever is seeking to pass the test in first attempt. She goes above and beyond into helping her students. Thank you dear. I have made a friend for life with her.

Fantastic experience: Gosia not only prepared me for the practical test but more importantly she give me the necessary confidence to drive. She also helped me to correct bad habits that I brought from driving with different instructor . She’s a great instructor, very clear, patient and knows exactly how to guide you through the process of learning. Thank you Gosia ❤️ You’re my Angel

Fantastic experience: I'm really overjoyed to have passed my driving test first attempt today. I couldn't have made it without such great guidance from my driver instructor, Gosia. She's very professional, skilled, experienced and especially very very nice even in the way you do wrong. She's pretty , calm and friendly. I'm sure you will pass if you have her as your instructor. She's such a really great one! I made it all thanks to her. All the best to her and all the ones who are ready to do the test.

Fantastic experience: Gosia is a great instructor, she is very experienced, patient and flexible. She plans very well for her students and passing under her guidance was easy. Definitely worth it. 5/5

Fantastic experience: Would greatly recommend. Not only is Gosia an excellent instructor, but a kind hearted and loveable person. She is so fun to drive with ! She’s more than patient and she has worked incredibly well to melt away all my fears about driving and I cannot thank her enough. It was an absolute please to have been taught by her . I passed first time with Gosia !

Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor! Gosia helped me overcome my stress and taught me how to drive properly and safely! Thanks to Gosia I passed in the first go! Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: Gosia is great with teaching. Very relaxing and assuring. This was my first day, and I thought it would be stressful. But not with her at all. She gave me so much confidence that I felt I was ready for any challenge as she will explain first what to expect. And then will guide me through the scenario.

Fantastic experience: I am really lucky to have chosen Gosia as my driving instructor, in fact the best decision! She helped to quickly get my confidence back after the not so nice experience with my previous instructor. Gosia is very professional with lots of patience and experience. Constructive feedback given during the learning process, recap at the end of session and the planning for the following session had helped to get better at my weaknesses and being able to clear the test at first attempt.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant instructor! Starting with a very professional approach to teaching road safety and driving through to a very caring and patient attitude towards individual needs. Every lesson starts and finishes with a re-cap on the results and challenges from previous lessons and aims at addressing those through to perfection. I would undoubtedly recommend Polka Driving School to anyone seeking to learn or improve their driving skills!

Fantastic experience: Top level instructor. I got a couple instructors before her and she was by far the best of them. I was having a problem learning how to start on hills and then she took me somewhere to do an exercise that helped me incredibly understand how to do this and now I'm better than my mom who's driven for decades! She was also much better explaining maneuvers to me than my previous instructor, helped with all the points where I was struggling, paid attention to what I was doing all the time so she could continue correcting and advising me, was always on time for the lessons, scheduled lessons with me with plenty of time, has the car in perfect shape and clean, etc. I felt very lucky with her as she really cares and actually helps you improve your skills, she cares so much sometimes she got more frustrated than myself when I did something wrong for the thousand time, somehow I seem to forget what I learnt on the last lesson -can't help myself- but she still went back to it. The day of the exam I was feeling a bit nervous and panicked that I wouldn't be able to do the parallel parking correctly, so I asked her to practice this again which we did 2 or 3 times. Later in the exam I was asked to do this, had I not practiced I think I would have panicked but I still had Gosia's voice in my head guiding me and I passed. So, thank you big time Gosia! I'll see you soon!

Fantastic experience: Gosia is a fantastic driving instructor with a massive amount of experience, she builds you up slowly to ensure you are not overwhelmed or pressurised and you feel confident straight away by each small gain, she is a very nice person also and it's an always enjoyable experience during the lessons, I passed first time with Gosia in the Mitcham test centre!! Thank you Gosia for helping me pass the manual car driving test which changes my life and keep up the great work

Fantastic experience: I very much enjoyed my time with Gosia. She got me to pass my test in under 6 lessons. I'd recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much for passing me.

Fantastic experience: I was driving in Poland 10 years ago and needed refresher lessons to gain my confidence. Luckily I found Polka driving school and met Gosia. She is professional, polite and a very good instructor. I would highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this driving school enough!!! Gosia is an EXCELLENT teacher! Always calm and collected. I passed first try with her!!! Do yourself a favour and go with Polka Driving School!!!

Fantastic experience: Fast pass and thanks for Gosia from Polka driving school, she knows her job and knows when to step in when it comes to assist with difficult raid situations. Gosia is making sure every topic we was about to cover is fully understood and even if there was any mistakes she turned them into future goals and make it so excited to learn ! So grateful to meet you Gosia !

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for Gosia to help me to be a safe driver in Uk , she is the best of best when it comes to teaching and dealing with difficult road situations . She is super calm and makes you so welcome at the first driving lesson! I strongly recommend

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for the best instructor around you are in the right place. Gosia is so patient, calm, professional and experienced. She will help you become a great driver without making you feel bad or stressed for your mistakes as a learner and at the same time she will calmly explain the situation and how to do better until you get it!! She will adapt her teaching methods to what works for each student. I cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time with 3 minors which I knowingly made! During the pandemic I was expecting my first child so I was in a rush to find an instructor. Most instructors dismissed me immediately but fortunately she was able to accommodate me in her busy schedule. Not only did I learn how to pass my test but I was also taught how to be a confident advanced driver. I feel confident enough to drive without the 'P' plates on my new car ensuring my family enjoy a smooth drive. I thoroughly recommend Polka driving school to anyone new and experienced learners who are looking to learn how to really drive!

Fantastic experience: Hi I get good attention at Polka driving school, they given me priority with my test I was booked just before 2 days and. We did 2 hours driving course we pass with manual car I really recommend thanks

Fantastic experience: Excellent services A big thank to my instructor, Gosia, an amazing woman who was teaching me from the beginning how to be a good driver not just get the license. I PASSED my driving test first time on a manual car(having just two minors faults). She is very friendly, patient, professional, understanding and without her endless support I wouldn’t get that confidence on a road. Her intensive course helped me a lot and made me feel prepared for test. I would highly recommend Polka Driving School!

Fantastic experience: I hold a foreign license for more than 10 years and needed just a few lessons to get used to the test and the roads around the test centre (Morden). Polka Driving School was the only one that could accommodate my requests (4h of driving lessons + the test). Other schools either didn't have availability or wanted to sell me a full package of 15h of driving lessons. I did the lessons and Gosia was brilliant in pointing out the things that I should correct for the test (a bit of overspeeding, bad distance perception on the left side, among others). She also went through all the possible exercises that could come up in my test and I felt very well prepared and confident. I did the test and passed first time with only 3 minors. I'm really glad with the overall experience and will recommend this school to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Gosia was a brilliant teacher, very experienced, knowledgable, kind and patient. Passed my test first attempt with only 2 minors. Would highly recommend Gosia.

Fantastic experience: The best driving school ever! Gosia (my instructor) was so patient and very professional. Adapted her teaching techniques to suit my needs. She is just an awesome instructor! I passed my test today and am forever grateful!! Thank you so much Gosia!

Fantastic experience: Polka Driving School was an amazing experience learning to drive, every lesson I learnt more and constantly saw my ability improving, I was taught by a skilled instructor (Gosia) who assessed what method of teaching was best for my learning and from that the lessons were smooth, interesting and fun. I passed my driving test first time and I'm so glad I went with Polka Driving School. Rory

Fantastic experience: Very friendly professional driving teacher

Fantastic experience: Gosia is brilliant. I have been driving in India for the past 14 years and all these years of driving, I am bound to develop some bad driving habits. I wanted to clear my test on the first attempt so chose to take a few hours of driving lessons before my actual test. Right after our first 2 hour session she pointed out what I need to work on and planned out my next lesson. She appreciates every time we do something good like observe and anticipate which gives you a lot of confidence. Thanks to her I got it right and passed on my very first attempt. Look no further if you are in and around Croydon and looking for an experienced driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Polecam

Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test today, first time!! All thanks to Gosia, she is an amazing teacher, she taught me every aspect of driving step by step to ensure I achieved test standard in only 10 hours. She really knows how to explain things to make it so easy to understand, and she's so patient when dealing with difficult situations and helping me correct my mistakes. This is guaranteed to make you an excellent, confident and safe driver. I will definitely recommend this service to everyone I know. Thank you Gosia!

Fantastic experience: What can I say; if it was not Polka Driving School I would not be as good as I can be. From the very first lesson I felt I am well looked after and in good hands. I had Bulgarian driving licence and I had to gain driving experience in UK - driving on opposite site and much more busier traffic environment. Gosia have professional approach and adjusted to my driver's experience to coach me to become confident UK driver. Thank you Gosia, I will recommend you to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended by my friend who passed first time, we only took 5 hours of lessons coming from a different instructor and that was enough to make us both pass first time! Great service, great teaching and great value. Would recommend to anyone eager to pass!!

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous to start learning to drive but Margaret was so amazing - she put me at ease straight away, was continuously helping me build self-confidence as a driver. Even when I didn't pass first time, Margaret didn't give up on me and really coached me. I thought I would never do it... but now I am a full licence holder!!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Polka Driving school enough! Gosia is an excellent instructor. She is very friendly and professional, and helps you get the most out of every lesson. She is patient and explains everything. She is efficient and goes through all aspects of your driving thoroughly to ensure you are a confident driver before you take your practical test.
