Francesca 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed the other day first time with Dan! I had a bad experience with driving instructors and went to Dan and was the best decision. He was a huge help and made me feel confident behind the wheel. Couldn’t recommend anyone better!

Dan's Driving School

Thank you Francesca. And congratulations on a brilliant pass!!

Chris Dyas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: As a teen, I failed at learning to drive. 20something years later, and pretty nervous, I decided it was time to try again. Dan has been a brilliant instructor. Patient with me and really pushed me to do the test when he thought I was ready - honestly he could have eked out months more lessons out of me. Really appreciate that he didn’t! And super happy to finally be able to say I have passed my driving test with only 2 minors. Thanks Dan!

An absolute pleasure Chris.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant! My son passed his driving test today at his first attempt, having been taught by Dan. Would highly recommend him as an instructor and I will have no worries about booking again when it comes to my other son learning to drive. Five stars

Elizabeth Martin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dan was my first and only driving instructor and as a result I passed my driving test first time a few days ago. He is a brilliant instructor and I’m very happy with how he communicated and taught the lessons. I have anxiety and dyslexia which he handle with really well, making every lesson calm and stress free. I can’t forget to mention the car! Lovely smooth driving car which has brilliant seat adjusting which is perfect since I’m tiny haha Highly recommend Dan’s driving school :)

Roisin Richards 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I loved learning to Drive with Dan! After several bad experiences I had almost hit a point where I didnt think I would be able. I thought that I would have to move to an automatic! Dan adapted his teaching style to me and I am very happy to say I have now passed my Driving Test in a manual car!

Dan's Driving School

An absolute pleasure Roisin. Thank you!!

Alison Riordan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dan has now taught both of my children to drive with my daughter having just passed her test last week, first time! Dan is a great driving instructor & communicator. He put my two at ease and made them feel comfortable and confident learning to drive. I 100% recommend Dan's Driving School to anyone looking for driving lessons. Thank you again Dan.

Fantastic experience: Dan is a great driving instructor, very calm and patient, so happy with the way the lesson went, very happy I found you. Thank you.

Dan's Driving School

Thank you Sam, and as I said I'm pleased I could help with your requirements. I hope you now have the confidence to go forward with the skills we worked on today. I'm here for any other requirements you may have.

Tony Augustine 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Learning how to drive with Dan has been the best experience I could’ve asked for. I was previously not the most confident driver and dreaded getting into the wheel, but his calm and friendly demeanour fixed that effortlessly. He keeps track of your progress on each individual aspect of driving and is proactive in getting the most out of each lesson. I would thoroughly recommend Dan to anyone looking for an instructor. The only downside is that I don’t get to drive around with him anymore now that I’ve passed!

Dan's Driving School

Ah we'll have to do a pint in the Hux sometime! See you for the motorway lesson!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor honestly couldn't fault him at all passed first time in a new car aswell

Dan's Driving School

Maja Ochał 2 years ago

Negative experience: It is not the greatest school and rude instructor. The car is very different from other schools. It is bigger, difficult to drive and park. Instructor was not willing to tell me what the reference points were. I am personally very disappointed that he communicates so badly even with minor faults. Personally I felt, because I came from a different instructor, he wanted to show that he teaches much better than other instructors and I don't know too much or I don't know what I am doing. I was thinking whether to leave review or not, but I feel instructor takes advantage of dicult driving test situation and shows very high attitude. I feel he wants to teach, but the way is not acceptable - poor soft interpersonal skills.

Dan's Driving School

I think you have the wrong instructor. I have never taught you to drive. I'm Dan's Driving School in Croydon, South London. I teach in a Fiesta which is a small car. Please delete this review as its clearly not mine. Thank you.

Holly Murphy 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Dan as my previous instructor wasn’t great and I thought I’d never be able to get the hang of driving but Dan completely changed this mindset. From my first lesson he was patient and always made sure I was comfortable. He taught me how to drive safely and to know how to deal with the worse situations. I passed on Monday and couldn’t thank him enough!

lee craken 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have worked with multiple driving instructors and Dan is by FAR the best one that I had. He would always find a way to make the lesson enjoyable even if I was having a bad day, he is always able to get the best out of every student he works with. I passed first time working with Dan you can too!

Many thanks for your review!!

Liam Daly 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My experience with Danny was wonderful. It was quick and easy to build up a relationship. He has a wonderful attitude, teaching what you need to know to be a competent driver, rather than just what’s needed to pass a test. I was a completely blank slate to driving (even though I am older than the average student) something that Danny saw no issue with and happily taught me from the basics upwards. All was fair when it came to accommodating my work schedule which changed wildly from the beginning of my learning to the end and ultimately through various lockdowns and pauses. I am thoroughly happy with the choice I made and stuck with (even after moving borough) and will be returning for a motorway session now that I’ve passed first time.

Dan's Driving School

Many thanks for the positive feedback Liam. Look forward to seeing you for the motorway lesson soon!!

Fantastic experience: Great instructor! Dan will set you up not only to pass your test, a great driver for life. Felt very prepared for my past - he is very clearly amazing at what he does!

Vicky Davenport 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been learning to drive with Danny and he made her feel at ease from day one. She looked forward to every lesson and gained her confidence very quickly. Danny has been great throughout with regular updates whenever I asked, and was fabulous with getting her a cancellation for her driving test at an earlier date. There have been many obstacles due to lockdown, and its taken a lot longer than she'd have liked, but she passed on Friday and is driving independently already. I would highly recommend Dan's driving school to everyone. Thanks again Danny. You have been great!

It's been a real pleasure. Keep in touch. I feel like you're family

Lee Fernandes 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor. Passed first time with 1 (1!!!) minor. He focuses on building correct techniques and confidence! When doing the exam, I felt 100% prepared. By far the best instructor I've had (he was my last instructor having been with Elite driving school before). If I had to redo driving, would start with him at the beginning. Would have saved time and money!

Emma Mendoza 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am in my 40's & had never driven before, I had no confidence & had always been too scared to learn to drive. I started having lessons with Danny & he immediately put me at ease. He is patient, calm & gives plenty of reassurance. He builds your confidence & goes at your pace, he never puts you under pressure. Danny gives you constructive feedback throughout your lessons & works on any weak areas of your driving. I passed my test today on my first attempt & it's all thanks to Danny. When it comes to instructors, Danny is second to none. I thank him for teaching me the skills that have finally given me the freedom to hit the roads.

Dan's Driving School

Many thanks Emma. See you for pass plus!

Rebecca Iden 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have driven automatic for 6 years and Dan taught me how to drive manual. I had picked up some bad habits over the years and Dan was very patient and great at explaining why I shouldn't/should do certain things. He is reliable and a great guy! Great information on politics I PASSED TODAY!!!

G Ilhan 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: With my time with Danny, I had really enjoyable lessons. Even when I had my bad days he was very supportive and motivated me to continue and found methods and tips that suit me and help me be the best I could be when on the road. He is in general a really nice person and lessons were very informal yet fun! I am so happy I took lessons with Danny, beyond the best i truely know. worth every peny! My confidence continues to increase when driving and I feel comfortable enough to now drive alone with his advice and guidance.

Alexander Dang 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: My sister and I both passed first time. After learning with another driver for 5 lessons and then being with Danny I realised I'd learnt squat. I drove almost everyday when learning in short bursts around my uni term and it did the trick!
