"I've just passed my driving test first time, and I owe it all to Richard and his excellent teaching. He's a great instructor: calm, patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and professional (he was always on time for my lessons). I felt confident and well-prepared for my test. I honestly couldn’t recommend Richard highly enough to anyone looking to learn to drive. He's also just a good person and I had a lot of fun learning. Genuinely, thank you Richard!"

After learning in SE25 South Norwood Hollie shared this review of their experience.

"I passed my test for the first time ever with Richard a few weeks ago and was honestly super chuffed ! I had my test booked and Richard made sure I was up to scratch to pass it, he was honestly such a great and reliable instructor - I would highly recommend him. He was always honest, providing constructive feedback and motivating me along the way so that I would remain positive regardless of the results on my test day. What was so great was that Richard made availability so that I could have 2 lessons in the run up to my test, we covered so many test routes which gave me a lot of confidence. Thanks again Richard !"

Matt passes his test at Hither Green 27th January 2023

"Richard‘s professional and thorough teaching style helped me pass my test first time with 2 minors in just over 30 hours. He allowed me to make my own decisions out on the road, whilst improving my judgement and approach to tricky situations, so that now when I’m driving on my own, I won’t feel unconfident because I don’t have a more experienced driver sitting next to me.

I’d highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a relaxed and competent driving instructor."

James passed his driving test first time at Morden test centre on @4th November 2022

"I cannot recommend Richard enough. He was patient, encouraging and always pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and continuously improve. I went from having no driving experience to passing first time and being confident on the roads. Thank you Richard!

Thanks for everything!"
