Elle driving school Surrey: Reviews
Negative experience: Excuse me, but what is the best way to contact you? I tried form on website, text as well as calling directly - it's been a week and no reply what so ever.
Fantastic experience: My daughter had 12 lessons with Nina at Elle Driving school during the month of her test. Nina was really thorough, thoughtful and gave great advice and teaching instruction. She was able to flex around my daughters schedule in the week before the test to give her the best chance of success. My daughter passed first time in a manual car with just 1 minor at Tolworth driving centre and we are very grateful to Nina for the intensive lessons she gave towards the end and the support she gave in getting her test ready. We would highly recommend Elle Driving School. Celia M

Fantastic experience: Nina has successfully taught my daughter and son to drive when they turned 17. They have both responded well to Nina's calm guidance and responded well to the written feedback notes she provides at each lesson. I have already personally recommended Nina to several of my friends who have also had success in passing their driving tests. Thank you Nina!

Fantastic experience: Nina taught both me and my brother how to drive. She’s absolutely lovely, very patient and understanding. I wouldn’t have been able to pass my test without her. Thank you so much for everything!
Fantastic experience: I found Nina after having lessons with a few other instructors in the local area and I noticed a massive difference in professionalism and driving skills. Nina gives you notes after every lesson for what you need to improve on which is really helpful. She ensures you are driving safely and is patient, calming and enthusiastic to help you pass. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Thank you Anna for your kind review, much appreciated. You worked hard and took everything onboard in the lessons so you deserved that 1st time pass, well done! Keep safe
Fantastic experience: Nina was a great driving instructor that taught me all the key knowledge I needed to know to drive well and safely. This helped me massively into passing on my first test.
Thanks so much for your review, much appreciated!
You did really well to pass first time especially in an area you weren’t familiar with due to the backlog in finding local test centres.
Fantastic experience: My Experience with Nina was really good as she made we feel safe and comfortable whilst driving with her as it was my first time driving. Nina helps after lessons and tells you what you specifically need to improve on as well as certain aspects you have improved on and this allowed me to pass first time within 2 months :)
Loved your determination and enthusiasm when it came to learning to drive and thanks very much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Nina is a great driving instructor. I highly recommend her! I passed first time today! Nina gave me great notes after each lesson which I could read up on after my lessons to see what I need to work on. Nina helped me boost my confidence whilst driving, she is very supportive!
Well done passing first time! You persevered and kept moving forward and all the hard work paid off.
Thank you for your review, much appreciated
Negative experience: They never answer the phone or ever call back either. Have left text messages in the past asking them to call and nothing. If you're fully booked then fine, at least let prospective students know - very unprofessional.
Apologies, it’s very difficult to call back as we are in the car most of the working day.
The driving school has been full and there’s a recorded message stating when this is the case.
We have many pupils leaving messages everyday which is why texts are preferred as stated on the website for a quick response.
Elle driving school has been established for 28 years and it’s very rare for a text response to not be sent as soon as its possible.
Fantastic experience: Nina is an excellent driving instructor. She is very patient and professional. My lessons were well planned considering my driving experience, needs and progress. She is very considerate with my work schedules at the same time so I have no stress or worries with my driving lessons when I was busy with work. Nina is very encouraging and supportive which is exactly what you need when learning to drive ! I had my driving test at 7am in the morning, and she practiced with me 2 days before and at 6am that morning ! So I passed my test for the first time with only one minor fault ! Many thanks Nina! I would definitely recommend her and her driving school !
Thank you for your kind review and recommendation, much appreciated. You had the best scream when you passed first time so it was worth that early starts on test day.
Fantastic experience: Nina was a great driving instructor who was always patient with me and always focused on what I needed improving on. She always managed to have a lesson slot for me, working around my work schedule. I managed to pass first time with only 2 minors thanks to her. Would definitely recommend !!
Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. It was great to see your confidence grow and get that 1st time pass, hope alls well !
Fantastic experience: Really good and helpful lessons. Helped me pass first time!
thanks Zac
Fantastic experience: An absolutely amazing driving instructor who helps you every step of the way, because of COVID it took me over a year to get my licence but Nina was always very understanding and was very patience with me too, and now I’ve managed to pass my practical first time
Thank you Vera for your review.
Covid was not kind to you so very pleased you passed 1st time after such a wait. Hope you’re still enjoying your driving
Fantastic experience: I've had a couple of driving instructors over my time and Nina was by far the best. She is extremely patient and understood my driving ability at all times, which made me feel relaxed and also developed y confidence. On top of this her explanations were clear and concise and were delivered in an extremely positive way. I would highly recommend Elle's driving school to anybody in the area and I have been letting my peers know about my amazing instructor.
Thank you Kian for your kind review and recommendation, it’s much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Nina is a great driving instructor! She is calm and understanding always taking a positive view in the lesson which helps keep you calm yourself and become the best driver you can be.
Thank you for your review Georgia
Fantastic experience: Nina is the best driving instructor I’ve ever had. She is very friendly and patient. She will allow you to learn to drive properly and safely. She helped me build my confidence enough to become a better driver and that will stay with me forever. Would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to learn to drive.
Thank you so much for your glowing review and recommendation , much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: NINA IS THE BEST! If you're looking for a calm, professional and friendly driving instructor choose Nina! Ive had previous lessons about a year ago so had a gap and to be honest not great instuctors... my theory was running out so i was in a rush to get my test done to avoid retaking the theory. On top of that im studying with very packed schedule but Nina really helped ensure i get the maximum support with the time i had which was under a month! I passed 1st time with her help and I cant thank her enough. Its not just about passing but making sure you're the safest driver you can be with the right skills to pass. So if youre totally new, had a gap or need refreshers, go with Nina she'll make sure you pass with flyjng colours !
Thank you so much for your review and recommendation, that’s very kind of you.
Fantastic experience: Nina is a wonderful driving instructor. Not only does she do an excellent job at teaching core driving concepts and skills; she also instills confidence in you throughout the lessons so that you feel safe under her guidance, as well as during independent driving. Nina is very patient and experienced, and it has been clear to me throughout lessons that she genuinely wants the best for me - to be a safe and competent driver. She explains my mistakes really well and is always keen to provide me with ample driving time. It's because of all these reasons that I fully recommend Nina as a driving instructor! Thank you so much for helping me pass my test.
Thank you very much for your kind review and recommendation , much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Nina is an excellent teacher. Not only does she communicate and teach well, she is also encouraging, patient and friendly. Her lessons are of a high standard and she is very professional. I was a complete novice when I started and can't thank her enough for teaching me and for instilling confidence in me to drive.
Thank you Asha for your review and recommendation, very kind of you
Fantastic experience: You must learn with Nina. She is the best driving instructor out there (and I’ve had three!). I am thrilled to have passed my test with Nina’s help, driving her new Kia which is very smooth and easy. I now feel like a very safe and competent driver. She is not patronising or argumentative, she makes sure you understand everything and does not waste your time or money. Efficient and kind. She knows the area really well. Can’t recommend her enough.
Thanks so much for your review and recommendation, much appreciated

Thank you so much Nina you are truely fantastic your prices are good too. Good luck all.
Thanks so much Sayma for such a kind review and recommendation.
Always happy to help, guide and support through this journey.
Fantastic experience: Nina was supportive and patient throughout my course of learning to drive. I would definitely recommend, I passed my practical test first time with only three minors.
Thanks for your review and recommendation
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Nina at Elle Driving school highly enough. I was very nervous and suffered from a little anxiety about driving, but Nina put me completely at ease. She did this without being even slightly patronising or condescending, in fact, she gets straight to the point of why you're struggling with certain things and breaks down exactly what you need to do to get it right. If you make the mistake again she asks 'why do we think that went wrong?' or 'what do you think we should have done in that scenario', which makes you really think through everything you're doing and creates good habits, rather than berating you for doing it wrong, which is what I experienced in the past with a previous instructor! She also put me at ease with the road in general, which I'd found quite scary previously, she made me realise that all the external things in driving you may be worrying about aren't a concern as long as you are focused on being a safe driver and are aware of your surroundings, don't let other bad drivers or road ragers put you off! Driving really shouldn't be that scary! My previous instructor made me feel very inadequate and always encouraged more lessons and I spent a small fortune with him. He enforced my fear of driving rather than helped it, and with him, I failed my test and resigned myself to the fact I might just be one of those people who 'aren't supposed to drive'. When I took the decision to contact Nina based on other reviews, she helped me overcome my anxiety about driving very quickly and easily and she went out of her way to accommodate some specific requests that I had and got me passed in the very small time frame that I'd given myself, as I didn't want to drag out the process any longer than I had to based on my last experience! If you are nervous about driving, Nina is your instructor, but equally if you are very confident, even better, she really knows her stuff and will get you passed in no time!
Thank you so much for your detailed review and recommendation, it’s very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Nina is a great understanding instructor who explains clearly, as well as giving you confidence in your driving. Thank you Nina, I would recommend you to all.
thank you for your review and recommendation
Fantastic experience: I booked lessons with nina after not having some for many years she was lovely and made me feel calm and at ease with the whole process , I however decided to switch to automatic which nina fully supported and was very understanding with my choices. I would totally recommend nina to anyone who is looking for lessons and would defiantly return to nina if I wanted to do my manual at a later stage.
Thank you for your review and recommendation
Fantastic experience: I found learning to drive very difficult due to my own learning difficulties - but Nina's patience, support, professionalism and warmth really was something special. She seems to have a way of working with even the hardest of pupils! I gained so much confidence and am incredibly pleased to have passed! Nina helped me to really focus and believe in myself and there is no way I could have done it without her right behind me. I recommend her to everyone!
Thank you Hannah for your kind review and recommendation, much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I cannot rate Nina at Elle driving school enough. She is a friendly calm person, who is happy to give lots of help and support. But most of all she helped me to pass my theory and practical test first time. Thank you Nina :)
