Karl's Driving School

Fantastic experience: Passed first time after 7 months of lessons with Matt, I highly recommend him, he was exceptional and transformed me from a panicky mess to a safe driver

Fantastic experience: great instructor, strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend Matt!! Passed first time with only one minor, can’t thank him enough. Made me feel confident in myself while driving and was happy to go through any questions i had. Enjoyed my lessons thanks again.

Fantastic experience: Karl was an amazing instructor! Very patient, supportive and calm. Chatty and friendly too, made me confident right off the bat, couldn’t have been any happier! Passed my driving test first time because of him, 10/10 definitely recommend! :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor son passed first go. Thank you so much for your time and help

Fantastic experience: Karl was my instructor, passed 3rd time but got there in the end. Great instructor

Fantastic experience: Matt was my driving instructor. Passed first try. Very good.

Fantastic experience: Passed today first time (only 2 minors) with my amazing and brilliant instructor Matt. I'd like to thank him as his most definite favourite student

Negative experience: Been trying to book with Karl’s he kept saying busy so I asked a girlfriend to call he has spaces available so I asked a male friend to call and he said he had spaces so I called again he said he was fully booked i came to the conclusion after hearing my voice i detect racism which is totally unacceptable so I’m writing this review to warn others

Fantastic experience: My second instructor was Matt from this school. He helped me overcome my overly cautious attitude behind the wheel as well as my confidence. Would heavily recommend to anyone trying to learning to drive.

Fantastic experience: Matt gave my daughter about 10 hours’ instruction over a 3 week period, after 2 months’ driving with me. She passed first time. Matt was approachable, calm, clear and helpful. Would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Fantastic experience: Matt has been teaching me the best part of 4 years due to Covid and failed tests. He is very patient, very well skilled and in my opinion on of the best instructors out there after having a few myself! Highly Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Karl's Driving school was recommended to me by my sister, who gave me the number for Matt. Matt is a patient, calm and reliable instructor and was always able to help me improve

Fantastic experience: I passed first time after having a change of instructors. Matt did a very good job of teaching me how to drive and to get me ready up until my test. However, I also had Karl do some lessons with me before my test due to circumstances that prevented Matt from doing my last couple with me and it’s safe to say I was really pleased with the pair of them. Both instructors made me feel comfortable, confident and at ease when learning and I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service I had a test cancellation come through at very short notice my usual instructor was unavailable but Karl was more than happy to accommodate me and he made me feel so relaxed in the lessons leading up to the test and I passed!!! I can’t thank him enough I would 100% recommended him for anyone to use.

Fantastic experience: Matt Neild was the best instructor I could have hoped for. I am an older gentleman, leaving it 40 years to finally learn and he was calm, patient, instructive and professional, always encouraging. I paased first time, all thanks to him. Cannot praise or recommend him highly enough so thank you Matt

Negative experience: I saw the £10 / first lesson "this month" special on their website and emailed mentioning it, to book it. No one said otherwise. Come to find out at the end of the lesson it was from eight months ago and charged £27. Where I come from - planet Earth - we call that a bait and switch. They get good reviews, which is why I chose them, and probably deserve them; but they should have honoured their own offer. It was a decent lesson, but I can't recommend any company that pulls this sort of stunt. For eight months! It's not right. I don't want it to happen to others.

Fantastic experience: Well overdue review. I had Matt teach me. Totally amazing. Incredibly relaxed, but made me better each time. I've been driving for a while now, and never felt nervous alone in the car once I'd passed. Brilliant.

Fantastic experience: This review is long overdue. I got my licence in September last year, and I can't stress enough how much I recommend Matt. He taught me everything, from the very scratch of how to use gears up to test standard driving. During my best lessons where I didn't need much guidance it felt like driving with a friend, and on my worst days Matt wouldn't hesitate to make me stop and pull over so we could go through each mistake in detail, making me understand what I was doing wrong and how to improve it. He is unimaginably patient, and I don't know if there's anyone out there who could've dealt with my sheer terror of roundabouts as well as he did. Matt is a really great instructor, he supported me throughout all my lessons and thanks to that I never felt like I couldn't do it, even if I didn't pass my test the first time. He was just as happy as me when I finally passed and it meant a lot - I really highly recommend him and this driving school!

Fantastic experience: I JUST PASSED MY EXAM IN FIRST ATTEMPT! Me!!!! The one who at the beginning of this journey I was scared to drive with more than 12 miles per hour and me the one who could barely think at motorways without having a mini heart attack BUT with support and a lot of patience from the best Instructor I could possibly have I PASSED ! I recommend from the bottom of my heart Matt as Instructor and this driving school! Honestly guys when I say " IF I DONE IT , YOU DEFINITELY CAN" , I am being very honest!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend enough as even when I had doubts , Matt gave me the confidence as he knew I was ready. No one is trying to unnecessarily delay your test. I passed first time and way ahead of the number of hours I thought I needed. Matt is incredibly patient and gives clear instructions.

Fantastic experience: Karl is such a gentleman and an awesome teacher. I will recommend him hands down to anyone who wants to not only pass but also have a great time along the way.

Negative experience: Every time I see this instructor he is on the phone whilst teaching a pupil I now have I’ve 20 seconds of cctv footage which is being forwarded to DVSA. This man is supposed to be in charge of a vehicle and whilst on the phone this isn’t possible. It is also illegal for him to touch a phone whilst the vehicle is moving, as a DSA approved driving instructor he KNOWS this.

Fantastic experience: If there was a six star rating I would be giving it . Karl knows how to teach you what u need to pass the driving test and beyond . I passed on my first attempt and not only that I think I'm a safer better driver now . Recommend 100 percent .

Fantastic experience: I needed a refresher course of lessons after six years of not driving. Nervous at first but the Instructor (Aaron) made it feel very easy for me. As you can imagine traffic flow after six years greatly increased. Aaron is a very competent instructor and would highly recommend this Driving School.

Fantastic experience: Karl has been really helpful, motivating durin my learning experience He adjusted my lessons timings to my convenience which was really useful for someone like me with erratic work hours. i would definitely recommend Karl as he is a very good teacher who gives timely constructive feedback and corrections .All the best to everyone to PASS YOUR TEST ... Just like I did today!!with Karl driving school !

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, passed first time, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Just passed my test, really good instructor, knows what he's doing, cheap rates and really helpful in making you feel comfortable behind the wheel

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Matt, unfaltering patience and gives you the confidence to believe in yourself.

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school ! Passed my driving test. All thanks to my amazing instructor Matt. He has been extremely motivating and made driving easy and comfortable. Thank you so much Matt! Highly recommended:)

Fantastic experience: passed from first attempt thanks to my amazing instructor Matt could not ask for a better teacher the lessons were flexible with my busy working schedules Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant school. I had been given Aaron Wills as an instructor and it's the best decision I've ever made. This guy makes driving easy, comfortable and all instructions are simple to follow. Couldn't ask for a better teacher and would recommend him to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Aaron is a great driving instructor, not only is he top lad but he has taught me to driving responsibly and I feel I am making fast progression. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Currently taking my lessons with Aaron, top lad and great instructor. I feel I'm making good, fast progress with this driving school. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Driving is a great fun, I started learning with Aaron Wills from scratch. He is a great teacher, because not only did he teach me to drive but also how to drive responsibly. Thanks to Aaron I passed first time. It’s great for me but I will miss the chats we had whilst I was learning. In the future I will be recommending Aaron to everyone I know who is learning to drive.

Fantastic experience: I learnt with Aaron, great instructor! Highly recommend!! Felt comfortable driving with him from the first lesson and generally looked forward to my lesson every week.

Fantastic experience: I had never driven before but Karl helped me and I picked it up very quickly and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to take lessons themselves.

Fantastic experience: Never a dull lesson and a great instructor too

Fantastic experience: Very entertaining

Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving lessons. At the start I was nervous but after learning so much in my first lesson, I was so at ease and confinent with my driving. Recommend to anyone who needs a boost of confidence to learn and pass quickly.

Fantastic experience: Karl taught my mum years ago who was just as nervous as me, but from the first lesson karl made me feel at ease and now a life long fear of mine is being overcome every lesson. so thank you karl for making it easy

Fantastic experience: Great experience really knew his stuff and good banter made me feel really calm in the car. I'd recommend Karl's driving School to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Great Instructor, passed first time after 3 weeks!

Fantastic experience: I was really nervous Karl built my confidence up really happy about my driving experience

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic driving instructor, Very calm and understanding, Would highly recommend Karls driving school, 10/10

Fantastic experience: Karl taught me to drive through intensive lessons in Kettering, I've had lessons before but always felt uncomfortable behind the wheel! Karl put me at ease immediately and I passed my test with confidence. I would recommend (and have done to my family and friends) Karl to anyone looking to learn to drive.
