Best for teaching instead of bullying
Very kind and friendly. In the past I had instructors that have bullied me when I got things wrong. These guys teach me about why/what and how to make corrections with my mistakes. Really boosted my confidence on the road.

Excellent Driving School
I would definitely recommend WrightStart. They made learning to drive an enjoyable process by having a patient but encouraging approach to lessons. This allowed me to make quick progress and become a much more confident driver.

Fab experience with wright start(Andy)
Andy was my driving instructor and he has always been fab and very calming. Got to get to have great chats and felt like mates by the end of my learning experience. He taught me from the start to the end, even with a big break I took in the middle! Couldn’t recommend wright start enough. But now I want to get my own mini

Andy was a very experienced instructor who did his best to help me get the license. He is very patient and takes things one by one. Andy helped me get the confidence I needed, and the way he explained things helped me learn more quicker!

Highly recommend
Highly recommend. Andy was very patient and calm throughout, despite me being initially very apprehensive, he was great at calming my nerves. Allowed me to develop the can do attitude, and even allowing me to pass first time.

After having lessons with a previous driving instructor who only made my anxiety worse, I can’t praise Lewis highly enough for all he has done and his patience which has enabled me to pass my driving test first time

I highly recommend WrightStart
I highly recommend WrightStart. They are a very reliable company with very good instructors. I had Andy and passed first time due to the way he taught me. I have no criticisms, only thank you’s for helping me to learn to drive.

Andy 👍🏽
Andy was a great instructor for me, I passed my test first time with just 5 minor faults thanks to his teaching. Gave clear and calm instructions in every lesson and was great to talk to.

Driving lessons review
Excellent experience. Learnt to drive with Lewis and he helped me pass first time. Didn’t feel under pressure, it was a friendly environment. He was punctual and committed and I would highly recommend WrightStart driving school.

Would definitely recommend!
Started lessons with Andy two months or so before Christmas and I was test ready by the start of March. I had previous driving experience with dad and I wasn’t really getting anywhere, but after a couple of lessons the difference in my driving that dad could notice was incredible. We got loads covered every lesson. Both of the mini’s are really good to drive and to learn in. Andy was super friendly and really helpful with pointers to get my driving to a test ready standard. On my test I managed a faultless drive. I would definitely recommend WrightStart to learner drivers and I will be doing so to my younger siblings when they start to learn to drive. Thankyou Andy!

Great!
Lessons were really informative and helpful and taught me key skills to be able to drive safe on all kinds of roads and junctions. Wouldn’t have been able to pass my test without WrightStart!

My experience with Wrightstart
Andy is everything I needed in a driving instructor. As a young driver who’s confidence was low after an accident on my first experience using the roads, Andy built up my confidence well. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. I passed first time and would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent Driving Instruction Experience
Excellent driving instructor. Always bang on time for the start of each lesson. A calm, collected and positive manner when explaining driving practices, allowing comfort and reassurance for the student.
A nice addition of an online student portal where lesson summary, reflections and subsequent lesson objectives can be seen. Easy payment process.
Passed first time. Would recommend to anyone in my local area.

Can't speak highly enough!
I have just passed my driving test after taking lessons with Andy and I can't speak highly enough! From my first lesson Andy made me feel comfortable and relaxed - he never pushed me to do anything I wasn't happy to do but I could tell how much progress I was making, and after every lesson I felt more and more confident. Especially in the weeks running up to my test when the nerves were secretly starting to creep in, he gave me confidence boosts and really helped me to believe in myself. If you want a super friendly, personable and enjoyable experience learning how to drive, definitely come here!
