This is one of a numerous testimonials that was sent to Chelsea Driving School…
‘To whom it may concern,
Reg was my Instructor and I am taking this opportunity to write a review on him and his services. As an experienced driver, I had to retake my full licence when I moved to London from America and learn to drive on the left side of the road on the tiniest streets.
Reg was a wonderful Instructor, he made me feel comfortable at all times,gave me simple and great advice for me to nail a manoeuvre the first time. Reg was always on time and even early for all our lessons together and his smile and positive attitude put me at ease. His car was clean and smelt nice,he refrained from taking calls or being distracted in any way.
I passed my driving test the first time I took it and I am grateful to Reg because I know I could not have done it without him. I was well prepared and confident when I arrived at the test centre.
I am so grateful for all the time he spent and shifting his schedule around to accommodate me especially on Sundays.
I highly recommend him to anyone wishing to have a stress-free professional Instructor.
Thank you so very much! See you on the road’.

Sarah Salmi’

I highly recommend Maria as your driving instructor, I had my lesson with her on 14th March，and I took my test yesterday with the first attempt, and I passed! Maria is a very kind and patient instructor, she was never mad at me for the stupid mistakes I made. She drives a very a tidy and clear Toyota car, her excellent drawing ability helped me a lot to understand the complicated UK traffic rules. I really enjoyed every driving lesson with her and thanks for Maria’s excellent coaching.

I had such a great experience learning to drive with the Chelsea Driving School. After being fairly nervous to begin with, my friendly instructor brought me up to standard in no time and I passed first time around. 10/10!

Maria was a wonderful instructor for my refresher lessons. She understands how to coach someone coming from an international driving background and is amazingly patient, understanding, and flexible when I needed to adjust lesson times. Highly recommend lessons with Maria!

Derek was my driving instructor for almost 2 years, and I could not have asked for a better teacher. He was very patient through all my mistakes while learning (including when I punctured the tire on his car!), went out of his way time and time again to fit me into lessons amongst a very busy schedule for him and a very busy rota for me, and stuck with me through lots of driving tests. Without him, I would not have finally been able to pass my driving test this year (with only 2 minors!). I am incredibly grateful for all the time and effort and encouragement he put in to helping me pass. Anyone looking for a kind, dedicated and knowledgeable driving instructor could not ask for more than Derek at Chelsea Driving School.

My driving instructor was Ronnie and I would 10000% recommend him. He made driving fun and enjoyable when previously I'd had bad experiences with other driving schools and almost gave up learning how to drive! He was very patient and I always looked forward to lessons. I passed in Isleworth today and I would ask for Ronnie if you are learning how to drive!

I am really delighted to be UK driving licensed under the thoroughly supervision of Tariq, this was a great experience which I couldn't have planned better! With a particular attention to my schedule, his availability and timings, including the approach on teaching, all was outstanding. My requests on the test bookings were treated with the highest interest as I'm often abroad for work or else. Basically, reading some of the previous comments, I'm pretty sure this is the best driving school at the moment at least from the SW London, as the latest improvements are genuinely reflected by the recent performance feedbacks. At last but not at least, I am also grateful to Ramona, the contact person which helped me with the first steps in achieving this brilliant result.Sincerely,your forever grateful international student!

Tariq was fantastic!! I failed my first attempt and my previous instructor didn’t make me feel I was capable to succeed. But Tariq was brilliant on getting back my confidence behind the wheel. He is a great instructor and definitely will recommend him. If you want to see and discover the fun part of driving (specially in London) definitely Tariq will help you. He will teach you, guide you and get you ready to pass!!

Today I passed my driving test at the 1st try thanks you Maria and her amazing teaching skills!! Learning how to drive in my home country made it tricky to adapt myself into the British way of driving and the complicated roads, but thanks to Maria and her patience I passed my test with only 1 minor today! Couldn’t recommend her more!!!

I highly recommend Chelsea Driving School. The whole learning experience, from start to finish, was exceptional. Phil is an incredible instructor; supportive, professional and calm. I was quite anxious when I first started, but thanks to Phil's expert tuition, guidance and knowledge, my confidence and skills grew, and I have just passed! Thank you so so much.

Passed my test first time after just 12 lessons across 2 months with Derek H. Pleased with the level of standard of instruction, and how quick Derek was able to get me up to speed with the basics and then the more advanced areas as well. Flexible with driving locations and timings. Helpful with finding a test quickly as well. 5 Stars all round.

Very happy with this school. Maria is a brilliant instructor who teaches methodical driving with an excellant knowledge of all rules. She has successfully guided me to pass my test and become a confident defensive driver. I highly recommend her.

Shout out Maria. I engaged her in over 3 months and she was excellent from start to finish. I purchased 10 lessons which was enough for me to pass first time learning the Morden routes / test. If you live and learn in SW London and planning to do the Morden test I would say go with Maria at Chelsea Driving School. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

I had the driving instructor Ronnie and could not recommend him more! He had so much patience and such an amazing instructor. I passed in Isleworth today and would 100% recommend Ronnie to anyone learning to drive.

I recently passed my test with Ahmed and I honestly cannot recommend him enough.I was riddled with nerves in the lead up to my test, and had absolutely no confidence that I’d ever be able to pass. At 8.5 months pregnant Ahmed kept me completely calm and gave me the skills and confidence that I needed. Everyone should learn to drive with Ahmed!! The perfect instructor for drivers who really doubt their abilities!

I recently completed driving lessons with this school and was extremely impressed, especially as someone who had never driven before.The instructor's method of blending guidance with practical driving experiences was particularly beneficial for a first-time driver like me, significantly boosting my confidence and skills behind the wheel. He was always patient, professional, and eager to answer all my questions, ensuring I felt comfortable and confident at every step.Thanks to Ahmed I passed my driving test on the first attempt. I highly recommend my instructor to any beginner looking for understandable driving lessons that lead to successful results.

My daughter had 3 previous driving instructors from other companies before we found Leon at Chelsea driving school. He was absolutely brilliant, gave her the confidence she needed to pass in under 2 months. Cant recommend enough

Passed first time at Mitcham with Ahmed at CDS! He was really helpful and flexible around my working hours, and we managed to get the practical pass done in a short space of time under his masterful tutelage. Would absolutely recommend him to a friend. CDS themselves were very quick / helpful in finding an appropriate driver given time constraints so the whole process was super. Thanks to Ahmed and CDS!

I had Leon as my instructor from Chelsea Driving School and I passed my driving test first go! He would always send me a summary of what I'd done well during that lesson and what I needed to work on for next time - a super helpful way for me to recap what I'd learnt in hindsight and keep track of my progress over the lessons. By the end of my lessons, I felt super confident in my driving abilities and that was all down to the amazing instruction I was given! I'd definitely recommend using these guys for your driving lessons:)

Marian was the best instructor and got me through the test! SO happy and wouldn't have been able to pass without him.I found driving to be a bit of a struggle before and couldn't find the right instructor to help me get to test level - I had tried quite a few over a many years but couldn't seem to get it to click. However, Marian's teaching style was a perfect fit for me. He helped me with my focus, confidence and driving skills, and was very calm but direct. He sat behind me in the test which felt very supportive and encouraging and I am so appreciative! I have recommended him to my friends who still need to pass their test as honestly (sorry to the others) but he is the most outstanding, encouraging and patient person. Thank you, Marian!
