Fantastic experience: After numerous instructors and two failed tests I was near to giving up with my driving. I then came across Dean’s Driving School and decided to give driving another go with the hope that I would pass on my third attempt. I only had a few lessons with Dean and he was very patient and calm with me. I was very anxious and didn’t have much confidence but Dean made sure that by the time I took my test I believed in myself and had the confidence on the roads. I am pleased to say I passed third time today. Dean is a great driving instructor and very postive. He is patient, he goes slowly through instructions and you can always ask questions.

Fantastic experience: I came to Dean after a traumatic experience with a previous instructor, and my confidence in driving was at an all-time low. From the moment I shared my concerns, Dean was incredibly understanding and supportive. I honestly regret not starting with him sooner!

As someone with an anxiety disorder, finding an instructor who could be calm, patient, and empathetic was crucial, and Dean exceeded all my expectations.

Fantastic experience: Dean told me his goal was for me to pass first time with no faults, he delivered on that promise. I’ve had a few instructors and he has by far been the best. Great guy, takes a fantastic approach to teaching and is extremely easy to get along with. You can see he is passionate about what he does. Thanks again Dean, couldn’t recommend you more mate.

Fantastic experience: Go for Dean! He was absolutely fantastic in teaching me, a nervous 30 year old that has never had a lesson before. He is calm, patient, and most importantly is teaching you how to be a good driver, not just how to pass the test - which I did first time thanks to Dean! I had a great time learning with Dean, great conversation as well as great teaching. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dean as a driving instructor. He is calm, patient and professional with a good sense of humour and made me feel at ease. I was quite an anxious driver and doubted that i would ever be able to drive but with Dean’s help i was able to pass first time and been driving around confidently ever since.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 driving instructor !!! I passed in October with Dean after failing 4 times previously with other instructors ! I had 5 driving instructors over 4 years who were so intimidating, made me feel stupid and one even told me driving just wasn’t for me! . I had incredibly bad driving anxiety and really struggled with confidence - I’d cry before most lessons However I decided to change to automatic and try learn with Dean and it was the best decision ever ! I started learning with him in May and passed in September - it probably could have been sooner but it was very hard to get tests at the time. He would say I was ready and urge me to book a test from about July which really boosted my confidence as no previous instructors had done this. He is friendly and informative and made me feel really at ease when learning to drive which i never experienced before with past instructors I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough he is the reason I can drive today !! :)))

Fantastic experience: Dean is an amazing person and an amazing instructor who took me from no experience driving automatics, to a pass level in just a week. He is a lovely person and made every lesson enjoyable and comfortable. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a driving instructor who's patient, thorough and tailors lessons for an individual's needs, I would highly recommend Dean. Good sense of humour is definitely an added bonus and you'll never have a dull 2hrs in the car.

Fantastic experience: I would like to say a massive thank you for helping me to passed my driving test. Dean is a fantastic driving instructor. He's professional,patient, funny, always calm and focus of what's happening during the lessons. He explained everything and he will help you to build your confident to drive. I highly recommend Dean as a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Amazing the best instructor! I was super nervous never believed I would pass! But with Dmitrijs(dean) my mind was at ease from day 1. I passed first time no minors I’m on cloud nine . Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I would recommend learning to drive with Dean to any one who's learning in an automatic car. He's very friendly, patient and makes you feel confident in what you are doing. The lessons were fun and productive! Thanks again Dean!!

Fantastic experience: The Best in West Sussex 6 hours lessons then I was passed

Fantastic experience: Dean was so detailed to the T and he made me have confidence in myself, even before the lesson started. Money paid was worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my experience so far, my instructor has made the whole process very calming. My instructor is very friendly and very positive! We have a saying that we ‘work together’ in the car and my instructor will ask me questions all the while to check my understanding. (This works really well for my learning) I am always given an opportunity to have a part of my own lesson and learning process, (for example, if there is something in particular that I would like to cover in that lesson.) My instructor is always very patient with me and if there’s something I’m not sure about or not confident with, then we pull over and work through the theory using pictures and toy cars which really helps me, before trying again practically. He also will try to ensure we have space booked in for our next lesson, and he tries his best to accommodate my usual work hours. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had a few extra driving lessons with dean, I didn’t feel under pressure and he helped me with my confidence. He is very friendly and an amazing driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor! extremely calm and informative. I have tried several others before and by far have learnt the most with dean driving instructor aslo learning how to drive properly and pass. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to learn how to drive

Fantastic experience: I believe seldom would you find driving instructors like Dean. It doesn't matter if you are a fresher or an experienced driver coming from another part of the world, Dean introduces you with a fresh approach towards driving which is very hard for you to forget once you learn it. He is extremely knowledgeable and has answers to all your questions for almost all scenarios. I would not only like to thank him for changing my life out here in the UK, but will also miss our banter during the driving sessions. Not something that is easy to forget since he makes driving lessons really fun.

Fantastic experience: Got help with refreshing my driving skills - be more familiar with right hand driving. Dean is passioned about what he is doing and even shared some tips that I wasn't aware. Highly recommend.
