Around The Bend Reviews 92

Got my first lesson booked tomorrow first time behind a wheel booked straight forward no problem I’m so nervous through the booking don’t no what to expect but my instructor telisha insured me everything going to be ok well soon find out tomorrow if I can push my self from being a single mam with no confidence I’m sure I all can around the bend will not disappoint

My daughter had 10 lessons £400 later and didnt even put the car into reverse. Therefore we didnt have anymore lessons. We have gone with a different school. Not at all impressed.

Do not allow yourself, your children or friends to get in a car with Jon ashcroft he is foul mouthed and the messages he sent me were disgusting he definitely has anger issues and the messages have been screenshot !!!!!

A huge thank you to ryan for helping me pass with 1 minor. Best instructor I had. Very patient and helpful. Wouldn't recommend anyone else!!

Didn’t like instructor he has road rage issues

this driving school has just cut myself up and then allowed a learner to enter a roundabout unsafely. the audacity of your TRAINED DRIVING INSTRUCTOR throwing his hands up like its my fault that you allowed your learner to cut me up and then proceed dangerously is beyond.

Really disappointed. Paid the standard rate to find out the instructor had just passed. Wouldn’t mind but it was very obvious and was more nervous than me. Had a few lessons and every one was on her phone, could see she was on snapchat and just kept talking about her kid. I don’t mind small talk and understand it can help with nerves but I accidentally pulled out on someone and she didn’t even notice being on her phone.
Had to go somewhere else after.

I passed my test first time but no thanks to my previous instructor! He was rude would snap at me for the smallest mistakes,talk about his personal problems on lessons and was just completely unprofessional! It was uncomfortable to learn with him. On one occasion he completely snapped at me and was shouting at me for a minor mistake and telling me I wouldn’t pass my test. Thankfully my instructor was changed last minute if it wasn’t for my new instructor Gary I believe I wouldn’t have passed. (Middlesbrough branch)

Absolutely brilliant. Passed first time in Northallerton after having some lessons with Kevin. I will definitely be recommending to friends at work and my sister! Thank you very much!!

Lewis was amazing, passed first time! He's really calm and lovely, would definitely recommend him to everyone!

Matthew was a fantastic driving instructor. Made me feel at ease right from the beginning. Contacted me throughout the covid pandemic to keep me posted about when lessons stopped and started and what safety precautions I needed to take. Must have taught me well as I passed first time with no errors. Would highly recommend

I had an extremely positive experience learning to drive with Tony, I couldn’t sing his praises more! He was friendly, approachable, a great listener and made me feel comfortable throughout all my lessons. He was a positive instructor which I think helped massively with my confidence, and at the same time was very realistic with goals and progress. I will miss having my lessons with Tony!

Very helpful and understanding able to simplify things for me to make myself better was an all out fantastic way to learn

Throughout all my lessons with Claire Yusedd I always felt at ease whilst driving and never felt like a lesson was wasted. She always had a good plan as to what she wanted to be teaching me but whilst also giving me the freedom to choose what I'd like to be taught as well. Claire was my second instructor and I believe I learnt more with her than I had done before.

Brian my instructor from Pontefract was an absolute pleasure to learn to drive with. I have been a bit of a slow learner and he was so patient throughout.
Very lovely gentleman.
Did the best he could to fit me in his busy schedule when test days approached.
Happy to say I passed yesterday.
Will miss doing my lessons with him.
Thanks so much. Never had any problems with this company they found me Brian straight away.

My instructor Saf was absolutely amazing and got me through my test today first try with 0 minors! She really takes pride in her job and this shows through her amazing teaching! I can’t recommended Saf highly enough and can’t wait to do my pass plus with her :)

My instructor, wasn’t very friendly - rude via messages and made me feel he was a threat on my lessons, asked him for a refund, even when i am eligible and he continued to be rude, (by rude i mean, sending unexplainable question marks ‘????’, i asked to re schedule my lesson he replied ‘ i will cancel no problem’ without even asking when to reschedule it! Due to my ethnic background questioning in a disrespectful manner if my previous instructor was a taxi driver?? And loads more encounters, which includes the tone he spoke to me in during lessons, practically shouting, non of his behaviour is explainable. It was the worst 4 hours of my life. i even involved around the bend and he got snappy. Thankfully the polite staff Wes and Emma have really helped me, very friendly staff and always there to help - wouldn’t recommend the instructor, especially if you are of colour, i really wouldn’t recommend him. No doubt the staff have been really friendly, kind, and polite and always there to help! Definitely would say the prices are great!

I had my lessons with around the bend and got sad as my instructor, she was absolutely fantastic, didn't take me long to pass with no minors!! Can't thank saf enough for making me feel comfortable and getting me through my test

So I have been learning with saf since August, 2020 and in that time we have had 2 lockdowns. so I'll had my driving test today and passed with 1 minor, without her as my instructor I dont feel like I would of had the confidence to do the test. she makes her students feel welcome, and she teaches you things which are so easy to understand, I would 100% recommend her, the woman needs a pay rise.

Fantastic driving school
My sons driving instructor was so nice and made my son very comfortable learning resulting in a first time pass...
Highly recommend
