Fantastic lessons

Fantastic lessons! My daughter was not interested in driving then had lessons with Vicky and she loved it. Really helpful and flexible when booking lessons and the actual driving test. Definitely recommend and we will be booking in our other daughter when the time comes.

Thankyou !

I passed my test today, 1st time! Could not recommend Neil enough, I expressed my driving anxieties to him in the first lesson, he quickly eased my worries, he was always really positive but also identified areas of practice and things that needed working on, he was really patient even when going over the same thing multiple times and I could always ask questions.

Best around

Had Alfie as an instructor very knowledgeable and easy to understand! great guy knows what he’s talking about/teaching only had 30hrs of lessons with him and he managed to get me passed very quickly with only 1 minor! Couldn’t recommend Alfie or nxtgen academy enough!

My daughter had given up on driving as her driving instructor had broken what little confidence she had. We were lucky to find Sarah and I explained on the phone that she may not be able to cope. Sarah was amazing and we can’t thank her enough for being so lovely. She is simply the best there is, and have her to thank for passing.

I had been learning to drive since 17…

I had been learning to drive since 17 and I always struggled massively with confidence and nerves on test day. Been with a few different instructors over the years and I have to say, Wayne at NXTgen was definitely the best! He really helped with my confidence so much that I actually believed that I could pass the driving test! Couldn’t have done it without him! Donna who I started with was also brilliant!

I started in November with nxtgen doing an intensive but I couldn’t get a test til May so I think that could have been better as it was just a lot of money to pay when I couldn’t even test at the end of it but apart from that everything with nxtgen has been brilliant!
Another massive thank you to Wayne for really pushing me to getting my licence!!!

I passed! Yay! All thanks to NxtGen and Alfie

Great company to go through with intensive course, theory and test. Very helpful and supportive company. Took a while to get my test after passing my theory unfortunately but that was down to other reasons. However thought the whole thing I experienced great customer service. Special shoutout to my instructor Alfie who was absolutely amazing throughout the process. He’s so kind and supportive and made the whole experience the best it could be. Thank you to all for helping me pass!

Had my intensive course the beginning of April with Venitia. She was so calm and very knowledgeable. After waiting a couple of months for my test I had the rest of my hours with Carlos and even though it was three hours he changed my thought process making me confident to know I could pass, he has giving me some life skills to continue to make me a better driver. I passed my test today and I just want to thank Venitia and Carlos for their time and getting me through.

Louise is the best

Louise is the best! She has supported me 100% throughout this journey. I felt very nervous about driving but Louise made me feel safe and comfortable with being behind the wheel. She is dedicated and believes in you even when you don't believe in yourself. My confidence with driving has come on leaps and bounds and that is down to Louise. I feel very lucky for having Louise as a driving instructor - she went above and beyond for me, and I am forever grateful.

I passed!!

Diane helped me pass my test when i didn’t think I could! After doing 3 tests in 2019 and giving up driving until this year out of nerves, Diane really changed my perspective on driving. She taught me to drive, not just learn the test. She understood my anxieties and knew how to calm me down when I would get overwhelmed, which is easy when doing an intensive course. I couldn’t recommend her more and I believe she’s the reason I passed.

Just passed my test today and was taught by Mevlud Duraki he was amazing ... Mevlud calmed me right down before the test. I thank him very much for all support and can’t wait to get out on the roads.
Thank you once again for everything.I couldn't recommend Mevlud Duraki more!

Lovely person and a fantastic instructor, goes above and beyond!

Great and encouraging

Alec describes Louise as 'great' and 'encouraging'. His previous instructor had given up on him, but Louise believed in him and spent the time he needed to become a safe and confident driver. She gave regular written feedback after lessons, homework to do and even edited videos of the drive to look back on. Under her tutelage and care he achieved a pass first time.

Carlos Costa

Learning how to drive from Carlos has been one of the easiest things ever. He explains thing very well and if you're struggling then he finds a different approach. He's very friendly and is definitely someone who you'd like to have as a driving instructor. I was able to earn my pass on my driving test just within a few months thanks to Carlos. He's definitely the best pick out of them all!

I had an amazing experience with mev

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Mev! As someone with ADHD, I really appreciated his patience and the helpful way he taught. He made learning feel accessible and I'm thrilled to say I passed my test first time thanks to his excellent guidance. I would highly recommend Mev to anyone looking for a supportive and understanding driving instructor.

First time pass!

I had a great time on my intensive course this week. I booked my own test slot for the day after my course and I passed today with just 2 minors! 🥳 really grateful for the amazing NxtGen team and especially to Graham Hopcroft my amazing instructor! He made me feel really comfortable, and I now feel really confident going forward on my driving journey!

BEST DRIVING INSTRUCTOR EVER!!

I passed my driving test first time with no minor or serious faults (a clean sheet) and that’s all thanks to Louise!! She really is the best driving instructor!! Every lesson I felt so relaxed and comfortable and she always went above and beyond to help me succeed. Louise is so kind, friendly and supportive which made the time fly by. I looked forward to every lesson as it felt like driving with a friend rather than an instructor!! She helped calm my nerves on test day and the results say it all: a faultless drive due to a flawless instructor.
Best driving instructor ever!!!
