Dsouza Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Mr Dsouza is an excellent driving instructor, and was very patient with me during our lessons. He is very punctual and professional, has a very thorough knowledge of the test routes and gave me tips and tricks to pass the test. The app works very well to book lessons. I hight recommend Dsouza driving school for learner drivers.
Fantastic experience: Wilson is the maker of dreams. As a nervous driver, I was put at ease in each lesson. He was able to adapt quickly to my understanding of instruction. I am beyond pleased to say I passed this morning on my first attempt. I couldn't have done it without him and his patience. Life will now be changed, and I am very grateful.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor! Had a couple lessons with a different driving instructor over a year ago and needed to brush up on things ready for my test. I had 2 lessons with Wilson and 1 mock test and ended up passing first time. I don't know if I would have passed if I hadn't had those extra few lessons with him. He doesn't make you feel bad if you make a mistake and gives you plenty of opportunities to try again. Very clear with his instructions and has lots of information he can send you if necessary. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Hopefully will be coming back and having some motorway lessons with him.
Fantastic experience: Wilson is an amazing driving instructor! I needed some extra help before my driving test and Wilson was able to give me a couple hours to help me go over things I wasn’t confident about to get me ready. We practiced around the test centre routes and he especially helped me perfect roundabouts - something I was not very confident about doing before. He was very patient and nice and also has so many great tips for the test that helped me very much. I ended up passing the next day with only 3 minors. I can’t recommend him enough. I don’t think I would’ve passed without his help! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor, Wilson is great! Every lesson is well planned out with clear instructions and ends with things to think about with notes to take home so you know where to improve. Wilson was patient with me working around my working days and thanks to him I passed first time. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Wilson! From day one, he’s been so patient, kind, and encouraging. He always knew exactly what to focus on during each lesson — taking things one step at a time so it never felt overwhelming. Wilson has a real talent for explaining things clearly and calmly, and he made even the trickiest parts of driving feel manageable. What I really appreciated was how supportive he was throughout the whole process. He never made me feel bad for mistakes — instead, he helped me learn from them and improve. Over time, everything just started to click, and I could really see how far I’d come thanks to his guidance. Thanks to Wilson’s amazing teaching, I passed my test first time! I’m so proud of how far I’ve come, but also a little sad that this means our lessons will soon be no more. Wilson genuinely cares about his students becoming confident, safe drivers — not just about getting them through the test — and that really shows. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who’s professional, patient, and truly great at what he does, I couldn’t recommend Wilson enough!
Fantastic experience: "observant, attentive, empathetic and always have a positive attitude.”

Fantastic experience: From start to finish my experience was positive.
