Client Testimonial, by Lisa

My driving lessons with Alison exceeded my expectations and were a great value for money. I couldn’t afford many hours, and was nervous I wouldn’t benefit from the minimal time, but she was incredibly calm, patient and honest and just good at her job. I passed my test with only one minor and wouldn’t have done that without her. Thank you Alison!!

Finally passed my test! Big big thank you to instructor Ricky 🌟 for giving me the guidance and confidence to make this happen! Having had a few attempts at learning to drive over the years, but never quite finding an instructor I clicked with or building the self-belief to get myself over the finish line, I was beginning to wonder if I’d ever get there! With the added time pressure of planning to move abroad soon, I really needed someone who could help me make it happen within a relatively short timeframe. Working with Ricky was genuinely a refreshing experience. Before I committed to a 15-hour intensive course, Ricky took the time to speak with me over the phone about my reservations and whether an intensive course would, quite frankly, be too “intense”! He reassured me with examples and was flexible in discussing how many hours per day I could commit to. Ricky genuinely listened to my personal circumstances, including my time constraints and finances, and helped me work out a realistic way forward. What really stood out was how much Ricky went above and beyond to help me get everything organised and moving so quickly. He was checking in on my theory learning progress before I’d even started practical lessons, helped me navigate getting my theory and practical tests booked within my timeframe, and was even willing to help me secure a practical test slot outside of his usual working hours! Having someone take that level of initiative and genuinely invest in helping me reach my goal made such a difference, particularly when I was working to a tight deadline. Having experienced the opposite with previous instructors, I particularly appreciated how reliable and accommodating Ricky was. I never had to worry about him making time for me, following through on what we’d agreed or feeling like I needed to chase anything up. I also never felt that Ricky was overselling what I needed or encouraging me to take on more lessons than necessary (again, something I was worried about from previous experiences) . I felt he was genuinely honest, transparent and had my best interests at heart throughout. All of this made the whole process feel so much less stressful. Throughout our practical lessons, I was met with the perfect balance of patience, encouragement and being pushed to reach my full potential. I also really enjoyed our little life chats in between all the serious stuff, which made the lessons feel that much more enjoyable and relaxed! I honestly couldn’t recommend Ricky enough. Thank you for everything! 🌟

Finding the right driving instructor to help you learn and pass your test is so important. It’s critical you find someone who understands what the learner needs and how best to help them build the confidence that can help them pass….. well look no further! I could not recommend Jean highly enough. She taught my daughter who recently passed first time as well as a few of her friends and what I am most familiar pressed by is how she adapts her approach and technique to meet the needs of each individual. I have been so impressed not only by how she taught her to enable her to pass her test but also how she built her confidence to be a safe and secure driver. Thank you!

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 😊
