Littleover Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Following a stroke which affected my peripheral vision, my licence was revoked by the DVLA as I failed to meet the required standards. After 2 years I was eventually issued with a 'disability provisional licence' by the DVLA which invited me to have lessons with a 'specialist' instructor and have an assessment at Derby Driveability to see if I was safe/unsafe to go back on the road again. I researched these instructors and Adam certainly came out as my 1st choice of specialist instructor. He is calm, patient, reassuring and helped me to regain my confidence which had been shattered. After a couple of months of lessons with Adam I had my assessment and the DVLA issued me with my driving licence. I highly recommend Adam for whatever your driving needs are. Thank you Adam for helping me get my licence and life back.
Thank you so much Brenda, it has been great helping you get back on the roads!
Fantastic experience: I was very apprehensive that the DVLA revoked my license due to health reasons. In time I was offered a safe-driving assessment, with a ‘recommendation’ of refresher lessons. Naturally, as someone who had driven for 20+ years I was rather apprehensive and admittedly indignant of what this experience would be. As you may have picked up I was quite negative in my approach to this. Rightly or wrongly I didn’t want to be treated like a new youngster. All that said as context. More what you want to read. Adam was amazing, so respectful and created a very positive and dare I say ‘refreshing’ experience. Adam developed my confidence, challenged me, but maintained a positive, dare I say fun experience. Adam is relaxed but attentive and fair, qualities that compliment the gentle observations and suggestions of a different approach to adopt. Whilst this isn’t Amazon or Uber, five stars. I do thoroughly recommend Adam, no faults, very positive experience with which I give my thanks.
Thank you so much Sarah for those lovely words.
It’s been an absolutely pleasure to work with you!
Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend Littleover driving school, Adam was amazing with my son. He is very patient and calm and my son got on well with him taking him out his comfort zone and making him feel relaxed while driving and he certainly helped him keep calm ready for his driving test.
Thanks so much Jenny. It’s really appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Adam is fantastic. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone starting out or needing some confidence in their driving. He is calm, patient and always makes you feel comfortable. He’ll build confidence, yet push you out of your comfort zone without you even realising and his sense of humour is second to none. I went to him as a very nervous driver, not sure if I’d be able to get back behind the wheel, but the kindness, compassion and empathy he has shown me has made me believe in my driving abilities. A a full 5 from me. Thank you for all you’ve done.
Thanks Mel, that’s so lovely It’s been great working with you!
Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend Littleover Driving school. The lessons were taken at the pace I needed and I feel so confident now I have passed my test to go out on my own. Adam made driving lessons enjoyable and stress free. Therefore I recommend Littleover Driving School.
Thanks Tessa! Congrats again
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Adam enough! Thanks to his encouragement, patience and expertise I was able to pass my test with confidence. As I struggled with anxiety when driving, Adam always remained calm, reassuring and quick to offer useful tips that made me feel more confident in my driving. Because of this, not only did he help with driving skills but my overall confidence as well. His ability to explain things clearly while helping me feel at ease was invaluable. Adam is very good at adapting his teaching to meet how I would learn best personally and provided tips that proved useful on the test. Not only this, but he always knows how to crack a few jokes! If you're looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your success and helps you stay calm whilst giving valuable advice in an accessible way, I highly recommend Adam! Thank you again for your commitment!
Thank You Charlotte! Really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Adam has so much patience, a relaxed but professional teaching style and a great observational sense of humour. He has been amazing at gently coaxing my very nervous, ‘not sure I want to drive’ daughter into someone who believes that they can learn to drive, and actually might even enjoy it! Although the time isn’t right for her now, we will be straight back to you when it is. Thank you so much Adam
Thank you Kirsty, that means a lot. I look forward to hopefully seeing her again when the time is right.
Negative experience: Complete waste of time , have been ringing for over 3 weeks , left messages , not had any reply back , it does not get any ruder then this ,
Hi, I’m sorry I seem to have missed your messages. Without a name on the review I can’t check back unfortunately. Please feel free to send me a text this morning and I’ll make sure to get back to you.
Thanks
Fantastic experience: A truly great teacher, very easy to talk to and has a stress relieving approach to teaching. I was lucky to have him as my first and only instructor.
Thanks Tyler, it was a pleasure, you worked really hard. Well done again!
Fantastic experience: Undoubtedly the finest instructor in the land! Patient and understanding, as well as a very personable yet concise approach to teaching. Takes a lot of the initial stress out of learning to drive and has a pretty excellent music taste too. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks Royan, I really appreciate that. Congrats again
Fantastic experience: After going through a few driving instructors over the years Adam has by far been best. He is a very patient teacher and he tailors the driving lessons to your own pace. He offers great encouragement and feedback. I 100% recommend Adam, thank you again!
Thanks Tom, that’s really nice of you. It’s been a pleasure
Fantastic experience: From start to finish, my driving lessons have been fantastic. Every lesson was broken down into easy to digest pieces, every ‘new driver anxiety’ problem was dealt with effectively and with delicate caution, and I left every lesson with miles more confidence and overall knowledge than I started with. Could not understate my recommendation, especially as someone with clinical anxiety on top of that. Also, fantastic music taste!
Thanks Euan, that really means a lot
Fantastic experience: Adam helped me pass first time and he was an absolutely incredible teacher who consistently helps you improve due to his vast experience in driving! Thank you so much ! ☺️
Thanks Caitlin, that’s lovely. Well done.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor, teaching not just to the driving test but beyond to make sure that I have driving skills ready for everyday situations and conditions. Instructions were given in a clear and understandable way before guiding through practically and getting plenty of experience and hours on the road – subsequently was able to pass first time! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for driving lessons in the area.

I have found that Littleover Driving School is very professional and great value for money.
