A lovely person and great instructor. Very patient, understanding and informative. Passed first time!
Robin is honestly such a good driving instructor and I couldn’t recommend him enough!! I passed my test with him and I couldn’t be happier. He was always so patient and calm, and he never once shouted or got angry with me (even after going round the same roundabout about 10 times). I had lessons with him for quite a while, and he always encouraged me and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. He’s genuinely such a great instructor and I’m so grateful I had him to help me get through it. Thank you for everything and thank you for putting up with me!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. From the very beginning, he was incredibly patient, professional and supportive. What really sets him apart is how much effort he puts into helping you improve. He doesn’t just point out your mistakes — he takes time to explain exactly what you did wrong, why it happened, and how to fix it. This really helped me build confidence and become a much better and safer driver. I’m absolutely delighted that I passed my driving test first time, and I truly believe that having such a great instructor made a big difference. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who really cares about his students and always puts in extra effort to help them succeed, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Absolutely brilliant instructor — thank you for everything!
Really great and experienced instructor, he sorted out a lesson plan to fit my schedule and was able to be flexible with it as well. Couldn't really ask for better
My time with Rob Tingle had been from 12th July - 12th August, with a first time pass. I opted for the 34 hour course at his recommendation having no prior lessons or experience at all and it was certainly the correct decision. Rob is not only an experience and veteran driver with a breadth of knowledge to bring to the table for overall driving, but also an expert on education and people management, leaving every lesson an ample opportunity for progress. I couldn’t recommend Rob Tingle enough and it’s clear why his reputation precedes him. Would definitely recommend for learners of any level!
Did 8 hours of intensive with Rob. Haven't driven in a while and with my theory soon coming to an end. He helped me pass my test with 3 minors. Rob is calm, reasonable and knowledgeable, he takes you from your understanding. Also, when having tough conversations, Rob talks with you and not at you which I found helpful. The key thing I took from Rob, it wasn't just getting my driving licence but instead asking whether am I a save driver? As everything else then falls in place. Thanks Rob.
Helped me get over the finish line and helped me in so many ways. Highly recommend Adrian I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.
Did a semi Intensive driving course with Rob, he has an amazing quality of teaching that pinpoints everything that needs perfecting for the test and tailors his lessons around them. This allowed me to pass with 0 faults. Thank you Rob, a great instructor.
Passing my driving test the first time with only 3 minors feels even more special knowing how much support I received from Rob throughout my journey. From the very beginning, I felt completely supported, encouraged, and understood. Every lesson was personalised to my specific needs, and Rob always took the time to understand the areas I found challenging and adapt each lesson accordingly. Rob believed in me, sometimes even when I doubted myself, and gradually helped me build the confidence I needed to become a safe and independent driver. Thank you for all the patience and encouragement. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rob to anyone learning to drive. 🥳🤩
Dinesh was the best possible driving instructor i could have had. My previous experience with driving was incredibly scary. I was learning with my dad and he used to be quite stressful, this made me fear driving and traffic. The very first time I met Dinesh, he was incredibly happy and inviting. I was never shy with him, he was just incredible with the way he would hold a conversation with you whilst learning to get your mind off of the traffic and allow you to focus on developing your “safe driving”. He teaches you how to drive safely, correctly and never depending on anyone else. He will notice your habits and decisions more than you yourself will. He finds an explanation to every single driving fault that you have and will make sure you learn all the basics before attempting anything else. He will never criticise you for forgetting other lessons or the basics. He will point them out and then reteach you those steps so you avoid developing bad habits. It took me 13 lessons to pass with him, 13. I felt like a professional when driving the way he taught me. It is a style that if you can pull off, you will never have any trouble with your test. I remember driving before my driving test, explaining all my decisions and hazards i saw to my mum as well as myself. It kept me driving that “smooth driving” style that Dinesh made sure to teach me. Every single manoeuvre is explained and will be taught in any way that is best for you. Never be shy to ask him any questions, he will always answer with no judgement no matter how dumb the question may seem after. He will never be frustrated with you and will never raise his voice at you. He is not shy to talk with you about anything. He will actually spot your character through the conversations and ask about you to find out how and why you do things the way you do. Dinesh is a professional. Dinesh is the only driving instructor you should be wanting to have lessons with. He is not forcing in any way at all, reminding you that you can change instructors if you want to, whenever you want to. He wants you to enjoy every single lesson with him, to enjoy learning how to drive with him. All of his feedback is positive.
I passed my driving test on the first attempt with only 2 minors, and it’s all thanks to Paul! He taught me everything in detail from the very beginning and got me completely test-ready. What really impressed me was how he’d email me during the week to help me better understand the mistakes I’d made during lessons. He didn’t just point them out - he explained everything thoroughly and even drew diagrams of roads and roundabouts to make sure I really got it. If you’re looking for someone who will prepare you properly for your test, look no further. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Daryl was a great instructor he's professional, calm, patient and easy to talk to. I will 100% recommend Daryl and Udrive! Thanks for helping me pass my test!
