Fantastic experience: Roger was an excellent driving instructor and went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks to him, I passed my driving exam on my first try - for which I am especially grateful given the current difficulty in securing driving exam slots. Roger's teaching style adapted to my specific needs, and he addressed gaps in my skills without judgement. I felt safe under Roger's instruction at all times. I had a genuinely fun and pleasant time learning to drive which - I think many would agree - can more often be stressful. I feel properly equipped to gain independent driving experience and would recommend Plum Driving School to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Having over a few years of driving experience in India I was looking for an instructor who can get me ready for the practical driving test to obtain a license in the UK after I moved here. I am really glad that I found Plum Driving School and especially Mr. Rog who was very keen to support me from the start of taking lessons up to the completion of the practical driving test. After taking a few hours(10) of lessons I gained the confidence to attempt the driving test. Rog was so kind, always motivating to learn from my mistakes and improve. My driving instructor provided a thorough and patient learning experience. They were knowledgeable, offered clear instructions, and created a comfortable environment for practice. The lessons were well-structured, covering various driving scenarios. Overall, a positive and effective teaching approach. I passed the driving test in my first attempt itself!! I highly recommend Plum and Mr. Rog!

I'm so grateful to Roger for getting me to my goal. He's a fantastic instructor!
