Maria K

Great experience with very knowledeble and professional Mark Challis. Mark shaped and improved my driving skills. It was not easy as I got already 20+years of driving experience in Europe. He's made impossible possible and I feel very equipped now on the UK roads! I would highly recommend Mark as driving instructor who will help you to get the desire result!

I would highly recommend Rob from Better Driver Training! He is approachable, kind and honest. My daughter felt safe and supported by Rob and passed first time. I will definitely be asking Rob to teach my youngest daughter to drive. Many thanks Rob.

I passed my car practical test at Tunbridge Wells yesterday and I couldn’t have done it without my instructor Mark from Better Driver Training. Mark was a very patient, calm, and supportive instructor who explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence. His teaching style made learning easy and stress-free, even before the test. He always believed in me and prepared me really well for every part of driving. I highly recommend Mark and Better Driver Training to anyone learning to drive.

I highly recommend Peter who I had as my automatic driving instructor! As a nervous driver, I was really anxious about driving and switched to lessons with Peter after bad experience with a previous driver and he was incredibly patient and understanding. He created a calm and supportive environment that helped me build my confidence behind the wheel, helping me to pass first time. I’m very grateful for this experience!

Dan was an absolutely exemplary instructor - his calm and assured approach was fantastic and I cannot recommend him enough!

He keeps things simple and makes your driving experience and test feel very manageable. He is clearly a very skilled teacher and knows how to get through to his students and get them to pick up good habits early on.

I hadn’t driven properly in around 8 months and just 4 hours of him in the car with me, sharpening my technique and preparing me for nuances that can occur in the exam, was enough to get me to pass my exam! Seriously impressive stuff!!!
