Matt Shurmer - pure excellence!
Well, he’s only gone and done it again…!
Matt was recommended to us, and I am very happy to confirm that Matt Shurmer is indeed ‘the highest quality automatic driving instructor in the Orpington area’ with the very important personal touch putting everyone at ease.
Matt has worked tirelessly with my eldest daughter Milly to help her achieve her ultimate dream goal of complete independence, after the frustrations of COVID and what we all believed to be an unfair test failure Milly has now achieved her goal and gained her license all thanks to Matt Shurmer!
Matt has now successfully guided both of my daughters to the road, skilfully providing them with just the right amount of confidence to go it alone, but making sure they are not over confident whilst gaining their all important experience over their first few years.
I would 100% recommend Matt Shurmer to everyone, always on time, honest & reliable !
Thanks Matt
Absolutely blown away with Matt and his teaching skills
Driving lessons in Swanley BR8. I was absolutely blown away with Matt and his teaching skills. I passed my test first time with 0 faults – something I never thought possible. Matt brings a lovely mix of friendliness & professionalism. When I started learning to drive I started in a manual car and I felt really unconfident. I spoke to Matt to say I wasn’t sure if I didn’t enjoy driving or if it was because I couldn’t get along with the clutch. Matt took me out for a trial to see how I was in an automatic and we got along instantly and I felt confident learning to drive with him.
Matt has a true talent for teaching people how to drive, he breaks everything down into easily manageable chunks so he doesn’t overwhelm you and gets you to repeat it until you’re confident. He didn’t teach me to pass my test, he taught me to be a confident driver and I couldn’t have done it without him.
Matt is also great value for money, the knowledge he gives you and the extra’s e.g. help passing your theory test are really useful. I have no doubt if I hadn’t learnt to drive with Matt I would have given up learning to drive.
They helped me a lot with my driving…
They helped me a lot with my driving test and boost my confidence. Highly recommended!!!

This is a great driving school
This is a great driving school. Everyone I dealt with leading up to my first lesson was extremely helpful. Scott was my instructor throughout and he made the whole experience so much easier than I had imagined. Not only was his knowledge on point but he was great at knowing exactly where my little faults were and helped me iron these out with no problems. I managed to pass my test within 4 months which was great and this was solely down to Scott and his brilliant teaching.

Every lesson was good
I have taken 10 lessons I believe with Scott my driving instructor, he is really encouraged me to do the right thing and on spot feedback which helped me a lot particularly last 2 lessons a little push before going for driving test , you can ask as many questions without hesitation furthermore he has tons of experience in this field which helped to pass my driving test.

Regaining confidence
Scott really helped me regain my confidence after not having been behind the wheel for nearly 5 years. He listened to what I wanted to work on and offered suggestions, including offering a lesson to drive to Southend (which was one of the reasons I wanted to hire a car, and why I was having a few refresher lessons). Scott is patient, encouraging and friendly; and I think he would help anyone who wanted to learn how to drive or refresh their skills.

Tracey is great!
I’ve only had a few lessons with Tracey now, but I always feel confident and calm when behind the wheel due to Tracey’s encouragement, clear/useful tips and patient nature. I’m glad I chose Matt Schurmer Driving School - Tracey is a brilliant instructor!

My driving experience
When I first started driving I never thought I would get the hang of it, but throughout my learning experience Fran has reassured me and helped me to become a confident driver. Fran has given me constructive criticism when needed however still made my lessons enjoyable!
