Peter Ray DVSA ADI (car) Grade A ORDIT. After a brief spell at a local driver school Ray Driver Training was started in May 2006, building up a good client base in the Mid Sussex area with most of my work coming from recommendations. In July 2017 I joined a national driving school and set about my duties as Team Leader and ORDIT trainer for Sussex and the South East with enthusiasm. Key to my beliefs with any form of training is the need to be authentic whilst keeping a positive outlook. I developed my interest further regarding positive psychology and coaching and have been impressed with the results it can bring. So, from May 2020 I am back as Peter Ray Driver & Instructor Trainer.
Peter Ray Driver & Instructor Trainer: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Coming back to Driving Instruction after a 20 break was a huge learning curve with all the new client based teaching styles and new style Part 3 test. Peter was recommended to me by a friend and he certainly delivered. I have been a great pleasure working with and knowing Peter. He has exceptional knowledge of ADI training and a very calm, relaxed and personable coaching approach. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in becoming an ADI to join employ Peter’s services.
Thank you for the great review. It was a pleasure working with you and helping you get back into the industry. I'm glad the training and approach worked well for you — but just remember, you did all the hard work. Wishing you continued success in your ADI career.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of learning from Peter Ray, and I can confidently say he is an outstanding trainer. His depth of knowledge is evident in every session, and he has a remarkable ability to explain complex topics clearly and effectively. What sets Peter apart is not just his expertise, but his commitment to his learners. He always takes the time to follow up after sessions, ensuring no question goes unanswered. His feedback is consistently honest, constructive, and delivered in a way that helps you improve with confidence. It’s been a genuinely rewarding experience training with him, and I’m grateful for the clarity and support he brings to every lesson. Highly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this fabulous review.
Fantastic experience: I feel extremely lucky to have been able to train with Peter. Peter will make you feel at ease from the moment you meet him, friendly, approachable, easy to talk to. His love of helping people achieve their goal is clear by his constant, enthusiasm, encouragement and positive attitude. He has endless amounts of knowledge to help develop you to become the best driving instructor possible no matter where you are on your training journey. He makes things simple and easy to understand, training always felt fun and enjoyable. Without his support I would not have managed to have Qualified as a Driving Instructor and never imagined I would score 48/51. I can’t recommend Peter highly enough, you won’t find anyone better. Thank you Peter
Thank you Stacy. Your kind words are very much appreciated. Always remember YOU did it. Enjoy your new career.
Fantastic experience: A work colleague of mine Steven (ex driving instructor) recommended Peter above ANYONE he had ever worked with within the industry !! So we arranged to met up, for a no obligations chat and a coffee. Straight away I felt I had made the right choice, I’m not sure you could meet a more positive, friendly, and supportive person ! And the following months he guided me through all the obstacles and challenges helping me pass the various stages. I also had training with Peter’s colleague Catherine, again an amazing instructor - thankyou !! Throughout it all Peter was always there, either at the end of the phone or ready for a catch up, oh and a coffee !! The day of the Part 3 test I was so nervous!!! But, Peter found a way of helping me overcome my anxiety and nerves, being there for me 100%, making the time to support me on the day of the test, before and afterwards !! I passed my Part 3, I am now an ADI and I owe that to you Peter !! Thankyou, David
Thank you David. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. Enjoy your new career.
Fantastic experience: I have recently passed my part 3 I couldn’t have done it without Peter! It was a long journey for me and my 3rd attempt but Peter is an incredibly positive person and as well as helping me gain the skills needed he also really helped with my mental attitude at an extremely stressful time. Thank you so much Peter and see you out there!
Thank you for taking the time to leave review Helen. Much appreciated. Always remember, you did it.
Fantastic experience: George is a sincere and diligent teacher, he used his experience to prepare me for part three And this preparation was perfect I took lessons from two other instructors but what I learned from George was amazing. George taught me so much in so little time. George is a very experienced instructor I think there is hardly a more experienced instructor in London than George I am very grateful to you George Thank you very much God bless you
Thank you for taking the time to write a review Rana. We are very pleased that you got the result you wanted today. Great work from you and George.
Fantastic experience: I had a 2 hour training session with Peter today as I felt there’s was gaps in my own teaching that could be improved. After a short chat about the areas that I felt needed work and how we could improve them my confidence had grown. After this one short session I feel so much happier in my ability and couldn’t recommend Peter highly enough to any ADI’s/PDI’s or regular learners
Thank you Simon. It was a really enjoyable training session. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic experience: Peter is an excellent instructor. He is endlessly positive and supportive - would recommend to anyone!
Thank you Alex. Much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: After trying to find the instructor for years, I’m so glad I waited for Peter to become available. Very professional, passionate about his job & just a generally lovely guy. A fantastic driving instructor who doesn’t teach you how to just pass your driving test - he teaches you how to drive and drive well. I feel lucky to have had Peter as my instructor - if you’re looking for a driving instructor, look no further.
Thank you Steve for taking the time to leave this review. Always remember YOU did it, and YOU did it well.
Fantastic experience: Incredible driving instructor, unlike any others I have used before, extremely positive and patient and got me past my driving anxiety. He doesn’t just teach to pass your test but teaches the skills you need to be a great driver. Highly recommend!
Hi Minna
Thank you for taking the time to write this review.
Your kind words are much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: We were extremely lucky to find Peter. From the outset he has been superb. His tuition has been brilliant which built a great deal of confidence in our daughter. His communication throughout is also commendable, even sending a photo of some brilliant parking. Result - She passed first time with only 1 minor. A truly fantastic achievement. Wholeheartedly recommended.
Thank you for leaving this review Andrew. Much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Such a great person to have next to me through my journey. I highly recommend Peter for every level and at any point of your training. He is a fantastic mentor/instructor/teacher and you can clearly see he loves what he does. Thanks Peter!
Thank you for your feedback Dimitris. Always remember that YOU did it. I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. Remember... Never stop learning
Fantastic experience: Peter is the best driving instructor, I contacted him towards the end of last year as i wasn't enjoying lessons with my previous instructor and it had really started to knock my confidence. Throughout my lessons with Peter he was always kind, patient and every lesson was taken with a smile and positive outlook. He also took lots of time to help me build my confidence back up as i was quite nervous and anxious. There was never a moment i felt like a question or worry was silly, Peter was always so supportive, calm and reassuring. I'm so pleased to say i passed first time with him a couple of weeks ago. I cannot thank you enough Peter for everything you have done for me, you helped me find my enjoyment for driving again by giving me the inner belief i needed. Kirsty :)
Hello Kirsty. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Really means a lot. Remember YOU did it.
Fantastic experience: Peter Ray came highly recommended by another Driving Instructor as the best person to speak to with regards to becoming an Instructor myself. We first met up for coffee and an informal chat at the end of 2020. Peter was extremely professional and friendly. All my questions and concerns were addressed enough for me to make the decision to start my training. I was very fortunate to be able to have Peter as my trainer and its been an amazing journey. He is a fantastic coach and mentor. If you are fortunate enough to get a slot in his busy schedule, it will be the best decision you ever make.
Thank you so much for this fabulous review Francesca. I can honestly say it's been a pleasure, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. Remember YOU did it.
Fantastic experience: I first contacted Ray in 2020 to discuss training to become a driving instructor and after a few calls we met up to discuss how he could help me. A year on and I am now a fully qualified driving instructor. Peter took me on and guided me through the ADI training process from part 1 to Part 3. He is an excellent coach and mentor. He is so knowledgeable and has helped me every step of the way. I rate his methods and teaching skills highly and am delighted to leave a five star review for him.
Thanks Mike. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. Remember you did it.
Fantastic experience: Peter is excellent. His knowledge is top notch. He delivers his lessons in an easy to understand manner putting the student at ease. Can't recommend him enough.
Thank you Stewart for taking the time to leave this review. It really means a lot.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended Peter Ray for my part 3 training to become a Adi, I had 2 previous trainers who were delivering very poor training, a couple of instructors who done their training with Peter recommended him to me. I can not recommend Peter enough, I have never met such a happy, positive, approachable person. I lived quite a way from Peter but nothing was ever a problem for him to travel to me for training, and always made sure I knew he was at the end of the phone if I needed advice inbetween training. Whether it's ADI training or you want to learn to drive I would highly recommend Peter. Peter would say I done all the hard work, but I say I couldn't of achieved my green badge without his excellent training skills.
Most kind of you Rebecca. I am pleased you got the result you worked so hard for. It's been a real pleasure to work with you. Remember you did it.
Fantastic experience: Peter is a fantastic driving instructor. He is absolutely professional, full of understanding, has a wonderful positive spirit and you will always find him in a cheerful mood. I am very happy and pleased I had the opportunity to do my training with him. I can definitely recommend Peter to whoever is thinking of starting their driving lessons as he is a great driving instructor and an amazing human being full of understanding and positive energy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review Miljana. It was a pleasure to work with you. Remember you did it. I wish you all the very best.
Fantastic experience: Honestly, I do not think you will find a better driving instructor. Not only is he wonderful at teaching but he will go out of his way to help you. I have a medical condition and he, in his own time, researched it and printed out material that will help me. An absolute angel.
I really appreciate you taking the time to write this review Melissa. I look forward to assisting you in your quest of becoming a full licence holder.
Fantastic experience: Just completed my course with Peter and passed first time. I had 2 instructors prior to meeting Peter and can honestly say he's a cut above the rest and I couldn't of asked for a better instructor. He's extremely experienced and has a great personality and i honestly could not reccommend him more!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Toby. I am so pleased I was able to coach you through this process. Well done today. I wish you all the best for the future.
Fantastic experience: Soooo lucky to have had Peter as my instructor. I started at the very beginning having never driven before, It's been a great journey. He has taught me so much about myself as well as driving. He is extremely patient and kind, I would highly recommend him. I feel blessed to be able to say I passed with him!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review Sinead. Much appreciated. Remember, you and Purdey did it. Keep up the great driving. Keep safe.
