Gus Hilton Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Gus enough. After learning with a few other instructors who left me feeling anxious about driving, Gus really put me at ease. He kept me calm during every lesson and actually made driving enjoyable, something I never thought I’d say! Thanks to him, I passed my test first time!
Thanks for the lovely review Arian! Really glad I had the opportunity to teach you and get you through your test. I hope you enjoy your driving from now on.
Fantastic experience: I was a nervous driver when I started my lessons but Gus was amazing at keeping me calm while driving. He explained everything to me in detail and answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Gus if you nervous or anxious. Got me driving in less than a year which is amazing. Thank you Gus!
Thanks for the lovely review Hannah! You coped with everything really well and it showed in your great test result today. Well done!
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Gus Hilton driving school. I’ve suffered with extreme anxiety most of my life, and never thought I’d ever be able to drive. Gus is patient, kind and builds your confidence. He never made me feel incapable and never got frustrated with me. I have cried and panicked, never once did I feel judged. We had a great laugh almost every lesson, yet he stayed serious about making me a safe and responsible driver. He didn’t just stick to the known driving routes, we went all over- as he doesn’t want his students to just pass a test, he wants them to be able to drive anywhere and everywhere, with confidence and awareness. I could not recommend him more. Gus will 100% be able to teach you , and you will be, and feel 100% safe whilst learning. Thank you Gus.
Wow! That's a lovely review Beth. Thank you so much. It was an absolute pleasure to teach you and I'm so proud of you for overcoming your anxieties and achieving something that will make a real difference to your life. I hope this is the start of a big new adventure for you!
Fantastic experience: Thank you for your support and patience. You are a great brilliant instructor, I couldn't have passed without your support. You taught me a lot of techniques about driving. He’s easy to talk to and approachable, quick to respond via text if you ever have an issue. In about 35 hours of lessons, I passed second time with 2 minor! Highly recommended – thank you
Thanks for the review Abarna! I really hope that getting your licence opens up a whole new world for you!
Fantastic experience: I would like to appreciate my driving instructor Gus for all his patience and for helping me build my confidence with driving.

Thanks for the kind review Rhys! It was a pleasure to teach you and I hope you enjoy the independence driving will give you.
Fantastic experience: Gus is a brilliant driving instructor. I came to him very nervous and doubting myself. He was professional, patient and explained everything in ways that were easy to understand for a complete beginner. He balanced this with a skilled firmness that kept me progressing well – despite my anxiety about doing something new, it was never more than I could handle. He’s easy to talk to and approachable, quick to respond via text if you ever have an issue. In about 32 hours of lessons, I passed first time with 1 minor! Highly recommended – thank you Gus
Thanks for the lovely review Ellie! I'm so glad you enjoyed your lessons and that you had such a great drive for your test. Hope you enjoy your future driving and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: I started driving as a very nervous and overly cautious driver lacking the confidence in myself and my ability. After many great lessons with Gus Hilton Driving School, I am very happy to say that I have passed my driving test first time round. Gus is a lovely man and a patient instructor, and I highly recommend him to anyone thinking of starting driving lessons and feeling apprehensive (as I was) Many thanks for all your help and advice, Gus!

Thanks for the review Abi!
Fantastic experience: Patient, professional and very skilled instructor. Gus has taken me from being a nervous student with no belief that I would ever get the hang of driving to someone who can drive reasonably well, enjoys the process and is just about to take my test! I'd happily recommend Gus to anyone.
Thanks for the lovely review Sarah! Don't do yourself down...you drive more than reasonably well!

Thanks for the review Angus!
Fantastic experience: From my first lesson, I found Gus to be a kind but firm driving instructor. He is well prepared for his lessons and has some nice resources and handouts. He is someone that is patient and can also share a laugh with you. I can completely recommend him if you are seeking to learn how to drive an Automatic car in Canterbury. Thanks to him I passed on my first attempt today. Also, the car he uses is very modern and nice which makes the test much more easier thanks to the lane assist, reverse camera and speed limit indicators. All the best :)
Thanks for the lovely review Rahul! It was great to be able to teach you and I'm so glad that you passed first time. I hope you enjoy your future driving and look forward to seeing you on the road.
