Fantastic experience: Dips is an amazing instructor - he methodically walked me through all parts of driving while creating a relaxed environment. He was quick to identify where I struggled and encouraged me to face all of these issues head on. Having had a small amount lessons with a different instructor 6 years ago, I can say that by comparison Dips delivered an excellent service. Thank you for getting me through the test first time!

Fantastic experience: I was a typical nightmare student who had tried and failed with other instructors/companies before over a period of 10 years. Id just about given up when I was given a voucher for 2 lessons with Drive Smart. Turned out to be one of the best presents I ever got and despite me having so many negative associations with driving, my instructor was brilliant and never gave up and finally got me passed even though it took me 16 months. He was never impatient and always understanding and I owe him a lot for giving me the belief that I could finally do this. This is 100% the best choice I made and the payoff is literally life changing. 10/10. Thanks Dipesh, you changed my life.

Fantastic experience: Let’s just say I would give 6stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, definitely recommend to everyone

Fantastic experience: After years of hesitation and not being confident enough to carry on with lessons through previous bad experiences, both with driving itself and instructors, I decided enough was enough and found a very patient, understanding and calming instructor Dipesh Solanki of Drive Smart Driving Academy. He was just what I needed, didn't shout at me if I made a mistake just explained things to me, calmed me down when I was anxious and nervous (which was a lot) and made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience of driving. I can't thank him enough for all his help and would most definitely recommend him to anyone without a doubt, even my son is going to start his lessons with him soon.

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor! Highly recommend
