Tony Ramsay of Wimbledon Driving School (Manual only, not Automatic)
07956 217694

I am an experienced overseas driver and I needed someone to teach me how to "pass the driving test." During my first lesson with Tony, I realised I've been driving a stick inefficiently for the past 15+ years. Tony immediately corrected all my bad habits. He is very patient and it was always a pleasure to be in the car with him. He used to be a mechanic so he knows how a car works. He had various tips and tricks.

I passed my test the first time around and have recommended him to numerous friends who all passed their test without any problems.

Can I ask how many lessons did you guys have had on average ? So far I have had 40 lessons and I do not feel I am ready to take the test
I am also having difficulties with learning the road code(I find it very boring!).I am not sure if I need to change my driving instructor or if I am the one that is a "lost cause" ! Any advice is welcome!

Hi
Your driving instructor should be able to tell you is you are ready or not as it varies from person to person. Mine was very honest and helpful. His name is jose and his number 07702521121.
He works in sw area
Good luck

Thanks a lot guys for sharing these lovely threads with us!! Well I need a good Port Macquarie Driving School for my son. He wants to give driving test so that he can get driving license. Can anyone suggest me good driving school?

Naomi Elia (07862 705 063) is absolutely the person for you. I recently met somebody that failed four times and decided to give up, she then met Naomi and passed first time.

Naomi has very flexible working hours she will accommodate all reasonable requests.

Thanks
Angelique

Hi uintin75,
I am taking driving lessons with Elephant Driving School and i am enjoying every each lesson.
So no matter which driving school your son go to, if he is enjoying and learning with the instructor then this is it.
I had to Switch to Elephant Driving School from my previous instructor, is the right decision I had made.
My Instructor Waqi made me feel confident from the very first day and his lovely sense of humor.
So i only can recommend him for your son.
His Mobile is: 07852776038

I heard about Claire Jones from this website and I have found her to be an excellent teacher who I wholeheartedly recommend. I passed my test yesterday with a few minors ☺
I was a very nervous and anxious learner, having stopped and started lessons between babies, and never felt inspired to persevere with my previous instructors. Claire has been different; she has been really patient and conscientious about how to get me to progress and how to build my confidence. She is also a lovely person who I enjoyed chatting to while driving! I was going to give up on learning to drive but thanks to Claire I kept on this time.
I think she would also be great for those with licenses but who need practice and those from abroad who want to get used to driving in this country.
Her number is 07525 464 708

I have been taking lessons on and off for years (I'm in my 30s) and have had a fair few terrible driving instructors who have knocked my confidence and motivation, but at last - 12 years after I first started learning!! - I've found a brilliant instructor called Leyla at the AA and I've finally got enough confidence back to have booked my test for April. Fingers crossed for me please!

Leyla has her own website here and you can book her through the AA which also gives you the advantage of getting free AA membership for a while: http://www.lldrivers.co.uk/
