I had a great experience with Kent Intensive Driving School. Ricky was a brilliant teacher - patient and knowledgeable. He gave great tips and helped ensure I was comfortable driving and what I should expect for the test. I passed today - thanks Ricky!

Having failed my driving test over 10 years ago, I was struggling with confidence and had forgotten a lot over the years, and kept putting it off. I finally decided to do an intensive course and am so glad I chose to do it with Kent Intensive Driving School! Pete was absolutely brilliant - so patient and kind, never once getting frustrated and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I’m so grateful for everything he taught me, and he ensured I was fully prepared on the day of the test and knew exactly what to expect so there were no surprises. I was so happy to pass first time and can’t recommend enough. Thanks Pete!

Ricky was my driving instructor for Tunbridge Wells. He was very kind and patient and made sure I was well prepared for every situation that could happen on the test. I passed in my first attempt thanks to his guidance 😊

I had an absolutely fantastic experience learning to drive with Jean. From the very first lesson, Jean was incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging. Jean is a highly knowledgeable and professional driving instructor who explains everything clearly and makes even difficult situations feel much easier to understand. Every lesson was well structured, informative, and enjoyable. Rather than simply teaching me how to pass my driving test, Jean focused on helping me become a safe, confident, and responsible driver for the future. Jean has a very calm and friendly teaching style, and I never felt nervous about making mistakes because I knew I would be guided and corrected in a positive way. The encouragement and constructive feedback I received throughout my lessons made a huge difference to my progress. I genuinely had a great experience learning with Jean and would highly recommend Jean to anyone looking for a patient, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and professional driving instructor. If you want an instructor who truly cares about your progress, builds your confidence, and gives you the skills you need to drive safely and independently, Jean is definitely the person to choose. Thank you, Jean, for all your patience, guidance, encouragement, and support. I’m very grateful for everything you taught me and for making my driving experience such a positive and enjoyable one. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I did a weeks intensive course with Ricky and passed first time after years of putting off driving due to my anxiety. He was a great, calm and encouraging instructor who put me at ease from the first time I stepped into the car. Highly recommend, especially for anyone who's a bit nervous about learning to drive. Thanks so much Ricky!
