amazing company

Couldn’t recommend drewmatic enough. Was an absolute beginner and passed my test first time today with 2 minors. Craig is patient and always helps you understand what and why you’re doing something.

Great instructor Clint.

Passed first time with my instructor Clint. Would highly recommend. I wouldn't have passed without him. There is no pressure from him and he's easy to get along with. Gives you plenty information to help you pass with confidence.

I can't praise them highly enough

I can't praise them highly enough, especially Angie. She's a wonderful instructor, helps you progress in your driving with each lesson, and never makes you feel like you're stupid if you've made a mistake. She really is the best. I had given up trying to take my test, having last attempted (and failed) it over 14 years ago. But after barely 5-6 weekly lessons with Angie, I passed my test. Thank you so much!

DrewMatic Automatic Driving School-Tony Shek

Tony Shek is an awesome driving instructor. He encouraged me to learn how to drive safely. Also helped me to develop my confidence and alertness while driving. This training massively helped me to pass my driving test.

Had a fantastic experience with Angie…

Had a fantastic experience with Angie from Drewmatic. Moved to the UK after having a provisional licence overseas and just needed to get used to driving in a new country and finalise preparations for the test. Passed first time this April following 9 or 10 hours of lessons with Angie and felt comfortable and confident the whole time. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic Experience!

Being taught by Craig at Drewmatic has been fantastic. Craig has a brilliant teaching style never pushing you too fast to move onto a different part before you have the previous part in a comfortable place. Also if you're not ready for the next step or the test, he will tell you that and why to help you work on any problem areas. If there are any areas that you're unsure of Craig is more than happy to revisit then as much as possible until you feel comfortable. Absolutely over the moon to have passed my test and cannot recommend Craig and Drewmatic enough.

10/10

Just passed my driving test, I had Angie as my instructor and couldn't have asked for anyone better. Always so friendly, polite and helpful. Every lesson I felt more confident in my driving and that I was quickly making progress. 100% recommend Drewmatic and learning with Angie.

Couldn’t recommend more!!!

I was lucky enough to be taught by the instructor Craig and I honestly couldn't recommend him and the company enough. Craig worked really hard to make sure i was ready for my test which was months earlier than we were expecting however thanks to him taking the time out to give me plenty of lessons aswell as always reassuring me I passed first time! Huge thank you to Craig Pattison!

Passed my test with Tony

I passed my practical test with Zero faults with Tony!! It was my second attempt as I made a silly mistake in the first test. I am a very anxious person but Tony has proved to be skilled in making learner drivers feel at ease while driving. I had 2 instructors prior to meeting Tony, but Tony stands out making me feel relaxed during the lessons and made each lesson enjoyable. He's teaching skills is superb with lots of motivation and encouragement. Thanks Tony for making my dream come through!
