1st Time School of Motoring  Reviews 

So happy and excited to share that I passed my driving test first time! 🎉🚗

Thank you so much, Anup! You have been the best instructor I could have asked for. You were always so patient, supportive and encouraging, and your guidance has helped me become a much more confident driver.

I can honestly say, hands down, that I highly recommend Anup. His teaching style helped me truly understand driving and build my confidence behind the wheel. He doesn’t just prepare you to pass your test he prepares you to drive independently and confidently on the road. If you want an instructor that cares about you, you know who to contact.

Thank you again, Anup, for all your patience, support and guidance. I couldn’t have done it without you! I will see you on the road ☺️🎉

I struggle with anxiety but my instructor Anup was incredible. Always made me feel safe and at ease in every lesson. He helped me gain confidence to the point I passed my test first time. Thank you Anup

The instructor was patient enough to notice all my driving errors and emphasized on correcting them,I had few classes with her and in each classes he made sure i dont repeat the error and she shaped my driving to meet the standard and i passed my practical test on first attempt

Anup was strict during the lessons, but that ultimately helped me improve and become a safer, more confident driver. He was very competent, knew exactly what needed fixing, and made sure I was properly prepared for the test rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear. I passed on my second attempt, and his guidance definitely played a big part in that. Would recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor who takes the job seriously and genuinely wants you to pass.

Have recently passed my Automatic driving test finally first time with only 2 minors!! after starting automatic lessons with 1st Time last year September! Special shoutout to the instructor Solomon - a really good instructor and such a down to earth genuine person who helped elevate my driving skills, he was very patient and gave me gave me such good feedback throughout our lessons. His humour was unmatched and definitely made our drives so positive and enjoyable, will miss them for sure! These lessons have definitely helped me become a safe and competent driver, helping me contribute to keeping the roads safe. I would 100% recommend 1st Time to do your driving lessons and hopefully getting Solomon as your instructor!

Anup is a great driving instructor who genuinely wants you to pass. Very patient, explains everything clearly, and helps build your confidence behind the wheel. Highly recommend.

Soleiman was an incredible instructor. I can not fault his teaching and hugely appreciate his time.

Solomon was a fantastic instructor. His patience, guidance and frequent advice is much appreciated. He corrected mistakes in a polite, but not disheartening manner, so that you’re receptive to any future issues! Highly recommend for anyone starting to learn to drive!

Anup was very helpful getting me ready for my driving test, he was very patient and kind.

My experience was very good because 3 quite an anxious person and I was made to feel safe and comfortable throughout all of my driving lessons.
My instructor was very helpful, calm and gave clear instructions. Always polite, respectful and professional. Good Availability throughout and took time to make sure I understood the task ahead and explained anything I was unsure about with kindness and patience.

I had my lessons with Anup and I cannot praise him enough, he made me feel comfortable, taught me what I needed to learn and also reminded me that we are learners and we will get the end result we need. Anup is an amazing instructor who I will be recommending to family and friends thank you! I finally got that pass!!

Passed first time with Mr Jonas Ochiagha. He was extremely kind and patient and all his methods used are guaranteed to make you pass your test. Would definitely recommend.

Anup is great instructor, calm person who will make sure he teaches you well for you to pass your driving test, it was a great pleasure.

Very halffull fully trend good insturctur

My instructor, Franco, was always respectful, supportive, and professional. He believed in me and remained patient despite the mistakes I made throughout my learning journey. At the end of each lesson, Franco took the time to explain what I needed to improve on and provided constructive feedback that helped build my confidence.
He created a calm and encouraging learning environment, never making me feel embarrassed about getting things wrong, and consistently motivated me to keep trying. His professionalism, understanding, and dedication to helping his students succeed truly stood out. I genuinely appreciate all of Franco’s guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress

I passed 2nd time however I had 3 different driving instructors. 2 of them were great however 1 of them named John was absolutely awful to me. I had told him I had booked my 2nd test , and he agreed to help me however when my test was near he decided to fully cancel on me and refused to let me use his car for the examine. I was left alone and did not know what to do and my theory would have expired in a month, but luckily I found a new instructor to help me and I passed!! Would not recommend John, honestly one of the rudest instructors I’ve encountered

Passed my driving practical recently; Farid A Chowdhury is a great instructor. Patient, kind and encouraging. Good School of Motoring, and a very good instructor. Ask for Farid, he will not let you down.

My instructor farid was really helpful and patient. He was also great to talk to and made me like driving.

I passed my driving test for the first time thanks to Anup! He’s an amazing instructor who teaches you to truly understand the road — not just how to pass the test, but how to drive confidently and safely.

He’s patient, clear, and incredibly supportive, which made a huge difference to my confidence. Every lesson felt calm, structured, and focused on real progress.

I highly recommend Anup to anyone looking for a great driving instructor who genuinely cares about helping you become a safe and confident driver.

Anup has been the best driving instructor I could have asked for. I highly recommend him, and thanks to his excellent teaching, I passed my driving test with 0 faults.

What stood out most was how he adapted every lesson to my pace. If he saw that I was progressing quickly, he moved things forward without wasting time. At the same time, whenever I needed extra support, he took the time to explain things properly and make sure I understood.

I was particularly impressed by the simple abbreviations and checks he taught me to help stay safe and aware on the road. He also went the extra mile by using a toy car and a book to demonstrate road positioning, junctions, roundabouts, manoeuvres, and how to handle different traffic situations. Those visual explanations made complex concepts much easier to understand.

Anup is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping his students succeed. I was fortunate to find the right instructor on my first attempt and never felt the need to look elsewhere. Passing with 0 faults was the result of his excellent teaching combined with our shared determination throughout the learning process.

Thank you, Anup, for all your support and guidance.
