Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time and learning with Neil definitely made the whole experience a lot easier. I was pretty nervous, especially on the day of the test, but he stayed calm and helped me feel more relaxed and confident. He’s really friendly, explains things clearly, and was always patient when I made mistakes. Lessons were well-structured and never stressful. I’d definitely recommend Neil to anyone learning to drive!

Fantastic experience: Neil is an excellent driving instructor, one I would recommend to anyone who is looking to learn how to drive. I was particularly nervous about learning to drive in London as I have grown up on a rural island and not used to the busy roads. Neil picked up on that straight away and made sure I developed confidence in my driving - both through explaining things calmly and clearly but also pushing me on when I needed it. As my test approached, I felt well-prepared with several mock tests and the helpful resources and handouts that Neil provides. I am now a competent driver (passed on my second try) with confidence to navigate the crazy London roads! Thank you again Neil for all your patience and constructive feedback - I am sure I will see you out on the roads!

Chislehurst Driving School

Thanks Marnie. Good luck for the future. Wave if you overtake me on the bike!

Emma McKenna 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Neil is hands down the best driving instructor I’ve had! Neil is absolutely fantastic – so patient, calm and makes every lesson fun! His knowledge of the road is great and not only helped me pass my practical test first time, but gave me resources to pass my theory too. I was quite nervous to start driving again, but Neil has been great with helping to build my confidence. Thanks for making learning to drive so fun Neil! Would 100% recommend Chislehurst Driving School.

Chislehurst Driving School

Thanks Emma. Well done today!

Teddy Parker 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: After attempting lessons with another instructor and then changing to Chislehurst driving school the experience there was so much more fulfilling with my instructor Neil being knowledgable about the road, constructive when giving feedback on driving as well as being patient with me in the car even when I was nervous to make mistakes. I really have to thank Neil for helping me succeed in passing my test and I would 100% recommend him to anyone else wishing to learn how to drive

Chislehurst Driving School

Thanks Teddy. Keep safe.

Alex Abley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Neil is a fantastic driving instructor. He is a really patient teacher and made the experience significantly less stressful than prior learning. Gave me real confidence in my driving and which resulted in me passing first time with only one driving fault. Can’t recommend him enough!

Chislehurst Driving School

Thanks Alex. Keep safe.

Rachel Erickson Cole-Wilkin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Neil is a fantastic driving instructor. Even though I had had a US license for a long time it was my first time driving in England and driving a manual car, and he was very patient and helpful and thorough in preparing for the exam (which I passed the first time!) The handouts and resources on his website are invaluable as well. I would highly recommend him whether you are just starting out or looking to improve your driving skills.

Chislehurst Driving School

Thanks Rachel. Well done yesterday. Enjoy France!

Fantastic experience: Neil is a fantastic driving instructor helping me to pass my test today with flying colours! He is very patient and offers effective ways of teaching making more difficult situations easier to understand. Neil is knowledgeable about test routes for all test centres in the area and has a great website with in depth information about general driving and the driving test to practice outside of lessons. It has been a pleasure getting to know him and I highly recommend Neil to anyone who is interested in learning to drive.

Fantastic experience: Neil is a fantastic driving instructor. I came in with a little driving experience, and Neil was quick to adapt my lessons to focus on what needed more practice. He explains clearly, and he teaches a lot of gotchas for new drivers. I am very pleased with my experience and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to properly drive. Thank you very much, Neil.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Neil enough. Really helped me push through my anxiety behind driving and I managed to pass first time! Neil's teaching style really kept me calm and helped to build confidence in my own skill.

Maryanne Raasch 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I found Neil very approachable and above all extremely professional. Never late for the lessons, sticking with the time agreed for the lesson and very patient to explain my mistakes, including thorough visual explanation. It was a good return on my investment!

Stephen Cassano 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Neil's style of tuition and instruction is calm and in depth without being overbearing, I am a late learner and only passed in my thirties so was looking for a teacher who matched my need for a efficient and structured plan to pass my theory and test. I can therefore highly recommend the Chislehurst Driving School as a professional independent tuition one stop shop for those at the start of their journey to drive or if you are looking for extra tuition in any areas you feel may need help on.
