That means no piggy backing with other students.

To Roddy,

Thank you very much for helping me to overcome my fears of roundabout, junction, reverse parking... Something that my first instructor(not a 1st time instructor) was not able to do!
Thank you for your patience and understanding my needs in term of time management. You answered my question over the phone with great care and explanations. Our journey ended with a Pass and two minor faults the 2nd September at Hither green but the experience will stay forever. Stay blessed, thank you again

I recommend Roddy☺️

Do not take lessons with OMAR

1
I had an instructor called Omar. I had 14 lessons with him and learned virtually nothing. Omar refused to take me up to the areas where I would take my test. I had booked my test months in advanced and a family member took me out to practice my driving on a daily basis in the evenings so I was gaining a lot of driving experience but Omar kept on insisting I needed more lessons, that I wasn’t ready and just wanted me to pay for more and more lesson. I had to ask for a refund and we parted company.

I continued to practice with my family member. I went ahead with my test as planned despite Omar shattering my confidence. I passed 1st time NO THANKS TO OMAR. It was my family member who got me through my test NOT OMAR.

I passed my driving test first time and it’s all down to my fantastic instructor Sam. He was patient, flexible with times and taught me everything I needed to pass. I highly recommend 1st Time Driving and if you’re lucky enough you might get him! Lisa

Don’t waste your money

1
Poor driving instructor and overall traumatic experience. This was a terrible experience, the driving instructor I had was super rude, impatient and overall not a good instructor who made every effort humiliate me and provide me with incorrect information and advice. Did not make any effort to coach.

Encouraged me to book a test when I clearly was not ready. 22hrs & 2 driving practical driving tests wasted. The experience left a lot to be desired and a serious waste of time, energy and money. I would advise anyone considering this school to reconsider.
