I had previously failed 3 driving tests, been through 6 instructors, and being so nervous I thought…read moreI was a lost cause. But then I found Paul Jones at Brighton Driving lessons, and passed 1st time!!! Paul was very patient with me and always filled me with confidence. He explained the rules of the road in a way I could understand and I didn't feel there was a "stupid" question I could ask. Paul understood how important it was for me to pass and helped me achieve it. He was also very friendly and had a very warm personality. I would most definitely recommend him to everyone. Thank you very much Paul!

I highly, HIGHLY recommend booking a photo tour with WPA!! I booked a one-day trip with Wilf. My…read moreidea was this: After receiving a very cool Nikon camera as a birthday gift, I wanted to find someone who could actually help me learn to use it and be able to shoot some memorable places in the meantime. Well, Wilf did not disappoint!! We did a day tour of Carcassonne, which is an amazing medieval castle in the south of France. As soon as I met Wilf, I knew I was in good hands! He is a very down-to-earth person, he made me feel very comfortable with my lack of knowledge about my camera and he assured me that by the end of the day, my photo-taking skills would improve. Well, they did! He showed me how to make every photo count, meaning every picture I take now is a great one (so I think). More importantly, it was the whole experience that I would like to thank Wilf for. Of course the location was fantastic, but it was Wilf's approach that really made the whole day so memorable - he is full of interesting facts, he really knows his stuff, he doesn't judge you and takes things at your pace. Not only did I learn a lot, but I felt like I was on an adventure with an old friend the whole time, and you just can't beat that! I know they do tours all over the world, but I am seriously considering joining up with WPA again for their Thailand tour. I wanted to thank Wilf for this wonderful experience and I highly recommend this to anyone interested in discovering something new about themselves or their cameras.

Doug guided me from complete beginner to passing my test last week. He is very patient and always…read moreon your side. He gives crystal clear instructions and explanations while also being very responsive to your individual profile as a learner. He is also interested in teaching you to drive properly -- not just for the test, but beyond. He was also very flexible with timings, especially pulling out all the stops to give me extra lessons as I approached my test to maximise my chances. Finally, there's never a dull moment in the car -- every lesson doubled up as a fun and informative conversation (which also gives you practice for the real world if you're planning to transport other people). I recommend Doug highly for anyone who wants to become a safe and confident driver.
I was lucky enough to have Steve Brandt as my driving instructor and because of him; I passed first…read moretime - with only three minors. His teaching style is excellent. He is organised, thorough, patient and is great to have a chat with. His mock tests are one of the best aspects of his teaching. After having done a few mock tests, I was well prepared for my real test and it actually felt easy. As Steve has multiple advanced driving qualifications, I was taught a higher standard of driving than most other learners which made the lessons great value for money. He taught me how to drive properly and safely, not just how to pass the test. I truly enjoyed my driving lessons with Steve and would recommend him to anyone who wants to be taught how to drive by a brilliant instructor.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS DRIVING SCHOOL! Female instructor Karen leaches money off you!!! She is…read moreabsolutely obsessed with the word 'safety' and uses this every lesson as a reason to have yet another lesson equalling more money despite what she has said previously. For example, she booked my test determined I was ready when i said id practice privately more to ease costs she began threatening to move my test further back withdrawing the use of the car for the test! I was also absent for ONE lesson with a virus and she said i was slacking off and held it against me ever since! She has shouted in my face manipulated and patronised me til I admitted I was wrong, she is a BULLY! From conversations I had with her previously this is NOT uncommon for her. Cannot vouch for her husband David but probably equally obsessed with rinsing you dry. LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO PUTS PUPILS BEFORE PROFIT!!

I had approximately 15 hours lessons with L Plates Driving school as opposed to the several lessons with other instructors but was hardly ever close to driving standard! A very big thank you to Tina Rixon for simplifying driving techniques for me. Tina was not my 1st instructor! She was my 5th! She built back my confidence that was almost ruined with previous experiences from my previous instructors. Her unique way of passing instructions in a simple and easy-to-comprehend manner is so amazing. Unlike my other instructors, she hardly ever blew my mistakes out of proportion but would simply give me another opportunity to right my wrong. Now my status has changed! I definitely recommend Tina and of course, L Plate driving school particularly if you were once in my shoes...

Their instructors know exactly how to make you feel relaxed driving a car but also know exactly what to teach you to progress quickly. Even though I was really worried about driving at the start, I quickly felt at ease driving and always felt supported every step of the way. The great chat in the car made learning to drive fun! I always felt that they were great value for money as my instructor would never make me do a lesson if I wasn't gonna learn anything from it. Passed first time with U-drive and would recommend them to anyone! Check the photos for memes that perfectly decribe my experience. They teach, U-Drive...
