Portland Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My learning experience with Portland Driving was great from start to finish, I first started off with Rob Brown who was a wonderful instructor to me and then changed to Dave who was a fantastic instructor , both of them were very calm and patient with me and always took the time to explain where I went wrong in a calming manner, Dave made sure I understood where I went wrong when I did and gave me multiple examples of how I could fix it, he never made me feel stupid for making silly mistake and he also sacrificed his evenings for me, which I appreciated and I don’t think I could’ve passed it without either of them, especially Dave, so thank you to both of you and I wish you nothing but success.
Fantastic experience: Looking for the first time pass,PORTLAND DRIVING SCHOOL is the right place. David thanks for everything LEGEND. We started from nothing to the first time pass, God bless my bro respect.
Fantastic experience: Ashley was incredible! He is lovely and busses great conversations very organised and works on everything to make sure you pass first time would defo recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this driving school and my instructor, Ashley. I was fortunate to see a car with the information one day on the way to work and I’m so grateful that I did. I am an experienced driver from the USA with 30 years of bad habits to fix and was very glad to have someone so kind, knowledgeable, and patient to help guide me through the experience. Ashley was always professional and on time (or a few minutes early) to every lesson. Bookings confirmed and honored in a timely fashion. Experience and understanding of the rules, tests as well as routes in my neighborhood were incredible. When I first contacted them I had to wait a month for availability. Definitely, worth the wait! Thank you, Ashley and Portland Driving School. I’m glad it’s over but you made my success possible.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Rob i was able to pass today because of you, Very patient, Good teacher and also very friendly makes you feel comfortable when driving and reassures you at all times.
Fantastic experience: I came across Portland Driving Shool shortly after COVID ended and got paired with Rob. Right out the gate I knew i'd have a good experience because he made me feel very comfortable and confident behind the wheel. There was never a dull moment and even when I made a mistake, he didn't make me feel stupid about it but rather guided me to either finding the correct solution or just telling me what to do. He was very reasurring during every drive which made me confident enopugh to pass my test. I couldn't recommend Rob or Portland Diving School enough.
Fantastic experience: My instructor Rob Brown, made driving simple and easy to learn. I feel like I excelled in my driving right away and had I got a very quick gage on what was necessary to pass. All thanks to Rob I passed first time with flying colours! Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Rob was absolutely amazing. I was not a typical student as I already had driving experience, Rob was great at building up my confidence and getting me accustomed to the UK driving style. I passed first time and my test was completely stress free. Overall a great experience and getting to know Rob has been a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Rob Brown was a great driving instructor, being very patient and helpful with his years of experience. He allowed me to pass first-time as a young driver with very few faults.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with my driving instructor Rob Brown. He has safely guided me to becoming a responsible and confident driver.

Many thanks Rob it was a pleasure learning from you.
Fantastic experience: Rob is an excellent instructor. He is very experienced, patient and friendly. Never makes you feel pressured and takes you through everything to expect on your test day. Will recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor.
Fantastic experience: Rob is a fantastic instructor. Really enjoyed learning with him. As a first-time learner aged nearly 40 he put me at my ease from the off and was great company throughout. Very calm and clear, great at explaining things and extremely patient when things didn't go to plan! Thanks to him, I was able to pass first time. Highly recommended to anyone in the Croydon, Shirley, South Norwood, Anerley, West Wickham, Penge area . . .

Fantastic experience: Passed with Rob first time. Plesent and well mannered, it was never awkward spending an hour or two in the car with him. His years of experience really come through. I started with a less established driving school and quickly changed to someone with more knowledge and understanding. Have recommended to my friends.
