HERO DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

I passed my driving test on first attempt today!!! A massive thank you to my instructor Jay!!! I couldn't have done it without him!!!He is very professional and patiently coached me throughout until I mastered all the key things that make for a safe driver thus ensuring my pass on test today! He is friendly, professional, very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain and demonstrate things so that you understand fully and can confidently apply the skills that you learn! He doesn't get frustrated with you if you make same mistakes but just patiently corrects you until you have mastered the skill he is trying to teach you! At Hero Driving School, I have learnt to become a confident and safe driver, not just for test day, but even more importantly, for afterwards! would therefore recommend Hero driving School 110%!!!

Passed on my second attempt. Had Mas as my instructor, amazing guy, great attitude and a teaching ethic. Nice guy to be around very knowledgeable of all the correct driving procedures, and the kind of guy who will help you make the most out of your potential. Very calm patient, straightforward forward and easy to get with. I highly recommend this driving school!

Jay was an amazing driving instructor. I waited to start driving until I was a little older as I was very nervous in cars. I spoke to Jay about this and he was super supportive throughout all of my lessons. Jay was a great teacher and without him, I would not have passed so quickly (first time), or feel as confident as I do now behind the wheel. I am forever grateful to him!

DEDHAM VALE DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

I had Mandy as my driving instructor who truly was an amazing instructor! she always made my lessons really enjoyable and will miss them. Mandy was great at teaching, who always knew how to correct my faults and clearly explained things through. I would really recommend Mandy and the DVD's company. Thank you both for helping my pass my test with only 1 minor and have given me the confidence to drive! Forever grateful.

I have had lessons with Simon for the past 6 months and I enjoyed them all. I managed to pass first time and I cannot thank him enough for getting me to the level I needed to pass as he was patient and incredibly knowledgeable, I one hundred percent recommend learning with him and this driving school!

Thank you so much to Anna for teaching Toby to drive and fitting lessons in at weekends. Toby found her teaching style to be calm and positive, which helped him build confidence quickly, resulting in a first time pass! Thanks to Anna and all the DVDS team!

STEER WE GO LEARNERS REVIEWS

My daughter has just passed her test first time because of the most wonderful caring lady called Michelle, I cannot recommend this lady more! She always had a smile on her face, she was always on time, and ready to go. My daughter suffers from terrible anxiety and I was recommended Michelle by Paul, and from the very first lesson she felt at ease and couldn’t wait for the next lesson. Any questions or problems and she is only a message away. My daughter is more emotional about not seeing her anymore than she is about passing her test and that’s saying something! From start to finish it’s been fantastic and an absolutely pleasure to have met you. Thank you so much Michelle.

My instructor Beth was fantastic! The communication was great, she’s very accommodating to your schedule and extremely helpful. Prior to Beth I had another instructor who spent half the lesson talking, barely let me drive in my own and had me on edge/feeling anxious. I really liked my lessons with Beth because she gave me the opportunity to make mistakes and let me get on with it. I felt so much more comfortable driving with her which in turn made me more comfortable behind the wheel. And because of that I passed knowing that I would feel comfortable driving myself.

I passed today ! I met my instructor Brad early on this year, driving felt intimidating to me but Brad made me feel very relaxed straight away and always had a good way of explaining things. He had a lot of patience with me at the start and knew how to get the best out of me. He takes great interest in you as a person and We had some amazing laughs together, if anyone is thinking of booking lessons I definitely recommend this school.
