Earl Drive (Automatic Driving Lessons)

Fantastic experience: Obinna is an excellent driving instructor. He is kind, polite, and genuinely caring, with a remarkable level of patience that allows him to teach anyone with ease. His approach instills great confidence in his students, making the learning experience enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to drive.

Fantastic experience: Obinna is highly recommended by me. He is a patient, kind and hard working instructor. He was incredibly helpful and I moved from a different instructor who wasted my money and time. I started with him in in March 2024 and passed first time in December 2024 with once a week lessons and planning around holidays over the year! Obinna honestly deserves his flowers and I am grateful for the effort and work he put in to have me driving in less than a year (I drove with my old instructor for two years on and off and never managed to make progress!). Obinna is the perfect instructor and I only wish him further success in the future in his role. He is clearly someone who is passionate about his role :)

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Earl’s Driving School highly enough! From day one, the experience was professional, supportive, and incredibly effective. My instructor (Obi) was outstanding—patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. He took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident on the road. Every lesson was tailored to my needs, helping me progress at a steady pace without feeling overwhelmed. His encouragement and expert guidance made all the difference, especially as I tackled challenging maneuvers and prepared for my test. Thanks to Obi, I passed with flying colors! If you’re looking for an instructor that truly cares about his students, look no further.

Fantastic experience: I started driving lessons with Obinna after reading all the positive reviews, and they are all correct. Obinna made me feel confident with my driving and always provided feedback and tips on how to improve. He was very patient and accommodating to my varying schedule. On my first lesson with Obinna, he advised that I should book my test which was shocking to me as I was previously told after 50+ hours with another instructor that I was not test ready. We worked on any concerns I had and structured the lessons on areas I wanted to improve, with frequent end of lesson evaluations and was made to feel as though no question was a silly question. I passed my test with 0 minors today which was only possible with Obinnas help and support! I would highly recommend Obinna to anyone who is thinking about taking driving lessons and want to pass!

Fantastic experience: ***UPDATE*** Today I passed my driving test with 2 minor faults! I can’t thank Obinna enough! He is so patient and professional with lots of laughs too. I am absolutely over the moon and I have this man to thank! After having many lessons with another driving instructor I was pushed to change due to the fact he only wanted to offer me a 2hr lesson every 2 weeks. I bit the bullet and did some digging and found Earl Drive! Wow what a difference! I was always very nervous Driving, with Obinna i feel much more relaxed and confident! The only regret I have is that i didn't do it sooner. I am now on the road to becoming test ready. I would highly recommend Earl Drive!
