I learned with Ian and passed first time at Hither Green. He was patient, very thorough and knowledgable, kind and encouraging (and I really needed all of the above because I was pregnant when I started learning and a stressed new mum when I passed!) I found the communication great, and he was always punctual and willing to be flexible if I needed it. Ian was committed to helping me learn to be a confident, safe driver for life. It wasn't just about doing the bare minimum to pass the test. As a woman driver, I'd also say that Ian was incredibly respectful, and I always felt safe in the car with him. I'm glad I chose to study with Royal and Ian Gay in particular. Thank you, Ian!
Great experience - had some refresher lessons with RSOM a few weeks before my test, and managed to pass this time around (2nd attempt). Aruna was a great instructor, a calming, reassuring presence.
Passed first time with Aruna, couldn’t of had a better driving instructor! He believes in everyone and makes you feel confident and comfortable in what you are doing, which makes it easy to learn quickly, also he’s just really fun and friendly, the best of the best!
The office were always nice as well, would recommend anyone to go here and to especially have Aruna as their teacher :)
I had Reuben as my instructor and passed on my 2nd attempt. Very patient and calm but gave thoughtful criticism when I did something wrong, he was also very good at explaining any questions I had during my lessons. I’m a very anxious driver and Reuben was the only instructor I had (previous ones from a different driving schools) where I felt comfortable enough in a car to drive around!
It was a pleasure learning from Ian. He was very kind and patient and his explanations were customised to how I would understand best. Very happy with everything 😊
Had Reuben as my instructor, he was so patient and explained everything so clearly, I passed my test today with 2 minor faults, I kept in mind the last thing he told me before the test, he said don't make it easy for the examiner, if he's going to fail you give him a hard time. 😂😂😂
Kathy Cullen The team at this driving school are great, they don’t push you for lessons but give you the right amount, with the right tips and tricks, to get your confidence up and allow you to pass the test. I had a much better experience here than at other places, wish I had found them sooner. So accommodating!
I would give a 5 star to Ian my main instructor and Aruna . With your help and guidance to active a great result of me passing my driving test. It was a heck of a journey and finally made it to the end.
