My instructor Kevin was calm even when I stalled on Lewisham roundabout for the fourth time. Lessons were always a full hour, picked up from my flat, and he did two mock tests on the actual Sidcup routes before the real thing. Passed with three minors.

Left it far too late to learn and was dreading it. Asked for a female instructor and got Sharon, who never once made me feel silly. Block of ten was good value. Took me a while, but I got there and I actually enjoy driving now.

Two lessons in a row cancelled the morning of by text, once with my test three weeks away. Office was apologetic but couldn't offer a different instructor. Ended up switching schools. The teaching was fine when it happened; the reliability wasn't.

Instructor was excellent and clearly knew the Bexleyheath test routes inside out. Only gripe is everything is arranged by phone call or text; an online calendar would save the back-and-forth. Passed second attempt.

Older one passed in 2024 and the younger just passed this month with the same instructor. Prices have gone up like everything but they still do full hours, and the student discount helped. Proper local firm; you talk to a person when you ring.

Started with one instructor who left the school after eight lessons, so I had to get used to a new car and style. The second instructor was good and I passed, but it added a few extra lessons I hadn't budgeted for.
