Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Fola! His patience, encouragement, and expert teaching gave me the confidence to pass with only one minor! I highly recommend Fola to anyone looking for a top-quality driving instructor who genuinely cares about his student's success. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Passed my full driving test first time round all thanks to the best instructor ever! Not only did he make me feel confident behind the wheel, but his patience and sense of humour kept me relaxed the whole time, he’s got the perfect mix of skill and charm for sure! learning with Fola was as fun as it was rewarding passing with only one minor first time round too in my test! Highly recommend, especially if you want to pass with complete knowledge and confidence! The two hour sessions make all the difference too. His attention to detail is next to none and one of his greatest assets to making him such an incredible instructor, you can just tell he has a real passion for his work and students too. Again thanks Fola!
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test, and I can't thank Fola enough for his incredible support! He was patient and understanding, which helped immensely as I was a hesitant driver at first. His teaching style was unique and effective, breaking down complex concepts into manageable lessons. With his guidance, I transformed from nervous to confident behind the wheel. I truly appreciate his dedication and expertise. If you're looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about his students, I highly recommend him!
Fantastic experience: Fola is a brilliant teacher. I’ve been learning to drive on and off for years, with many different teachers, and Fola was the best by far. He was patient, thorough, flexible with my hours, punctual, friendly and very professional. I found the visual aids he uses to explain manoeuvres on an ipad really helpful, and as quite a nervous driver, I found his teaching style very calming. He quickly picked up on and corrected a few bad driving habits I’d formed over the years, which was what I was hoping for in a teacher. I’d absolutely recommend Fola to anyone learning to drive!
Fantastic experience: Fola is a great driving instructor, who has helped me along my driving journey. I passed my manual practical test first time with 0 minor faults, a testament to Fola’s emphasis on driving safely and demonstrating good control of the car. Overall, I’ve been pleased with my learning experience and feel more confident as a driver. Therefore, I recommend Fola as a driving instructor to prospective students as he is patient, extremely knowledgeable and was happy to be flexible around my work schedule.
Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Fola. Really helpful and patient with me. Passed first time. Had already learnt a bit from my parents so it was really helpful to have him find my weak points and work on them with me. Would recommend him to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, thanks
Fantastic experience: Engaging Fola for my driving lessons was one of the most rewarding decisions I've made. My experience for the intensive two-month course, with frequent classes of three to four times a week, went above and beyond my expectations. As a novice driver, I needed an instructor who was knowledgeable, patient, and engaging. Fola ticked all these boxes with a punch of personality and warmth. He has a deep understanding of the nuances of driving that goes beyond just sticking to the rules. His emphasis on safety with the unique approach of teaching me to predict situations five steps ahead on the road was particularly impressive. This guided anticipation helps me to stay prepared and safe. Fola's dedication to pushing his students to being the finest drivers is quite a commendable trait. His constant motivation and meticulous nature helped me to correct and perfect my driving skills. I felt fully prepared every step of the way and valued the amount of detail that went into each lesson. The proof of Fola's exceptional teaching is that I cleared my driving test at the first attempt! His training made all the difference, and I am immensely grateful to have had him as my instructor. His lessons will stick with me each time I sit behind the wheel. In conclusion, Fola is an outstanding driver's instructor whose guidance and expertise in driving is without parallel. I highly recommend his services to all aspiring drivers for a sure shot at success.
Thank you, it was a pleasure teaching you

Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor around, really helpful and nice. Helped me pass first time, definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: passed first time thank you
Negative experience: I had a bad experience. They were trying to steal my money same thing every day
Fantastic experience: First time pass with 0 mistakes. If you wanna pass your practical 1st time Fola is your guy. He will take you through all the info and explain everything to you. Fola is the best.
Fantastic experience: Fola is a legend. He is a very calm and knowledgable driving instructor. He really helped me to relax during lessons. I passed first time with 0 faults.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Fola!!! I would highly recommend Fola’s driving school to anyone looking for an experienced instructor.
Negative experience: Condescending and patronising. I am more stressed and less confident in my driving abilities now I have taken these classes.
Truly sorry, you failed your driving test the second time around, the first time with me, 0 minor faults and 1 dangerous fault (observation at the roundabout).
The original test date was meant to be ending of December but you decided to push it forward to September with 2 months of practice knowing you’re not a confident driver and easily get confused. I did my very best to get you ready for your driving test. If I can change back the time I would.
I know if you have passed your test, the comments would’ve been different. Once again, I’m truly sorry.
Very best in the future.
Fantastic experience: Fola is absolutely brilliant! I passed my test first time last month and it wouldn't have been possible without him. He's patient and makes you feel at ease especially if you find driving really daunting, I only wished I had him as my driving instructor much earlier, I highly recommend!
Negative experience: Cancelled the lesson just a few hours before saying that he was no longer available, the alternative place I suggested was only minutes away by car for which I was happy to pay, instead of saying just no he cancelled the lesson by giving another reason
Changing the pick-up point a few hours before your lesson means I’ll be running late and inconvenience for me. I had to cancel the lesson and refund any cost.
Fantastic experience: Fola has been an amazing instructor and done an exceptional job in helping me with my journey and I am very grateful for all the help and knowledge he has given and shown me. I really looked forward to every lesson - truly the best Instuctor ! Would definitely recommend him to everyone ! Thank you so much !
Fantastic experience: Fola from day one was a great driving instructor. Preparation for the test started immediately, and his patient teaching approach means you're guaranteed to pick up good habits that stick. He clearly keeps up to date with test routes and the testing process to give you the best odds at passing first time, which he helped me achieve over the course of 5 months of weekly lessons in a manual. He teaches both manual and automatic with dual controls so that he can step in if any dangerous situations arise. He's friendly, very easy to contact and schedule with, and competitively priced, so if you're looking for an instructor I would definitely message Fola.
Fantastic experience: Fola has been a wonderful help on my journey to learning to drive and I am very pleased that with his guidance I passed first time. I found him to be very knowledgeable about driving and the coaching to get me ready for my test was great. Learning to drive with Fola was an enjoyable experience with laughter along the way. So I highly recommend him to anyone wishing to learn to drive.
Fantastic experience: From the person learn to drive few year ago and feel driving is not for me. Pass my first time is amazing. Fola is a very good instructor he help and push me over come my fear of driving. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Wish I used him for my first test! Genuinely a good instructor who helped me stay calm & confident for my test. Finally got my pass & I’d highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Took around 34 hrs of driving on a manual with Fola's and passed on first attempt easily. He is a very professional instructor and will make you become a driver for sure. Whilst he is more expensive than other driving schools around, the price comes for a reason, statistically absolutely all his students pass on first try with 0-2 minors, myself including, and that is the most important part - the result! :-)
