A-class are a great driving school

A-class are a great driving school. I had Jeff as my instructor who helped me go from thinking I’m never going to be able to do this to passing first time with 0 minors. He was always so patient with me and tried wherever he could to give me a lesson despite my very busy schedule! He is both a great driving instructor and a lovely person to get to know along the way and I couldn’t recommend him and the company more :)

An incredible PASS with no faults!

What an amazing experience I have had and to top it all got a PASS with NO fault!! Bibi has been a brilliant driving instructor. Supportive, determined and educational, she managed to get the best out of me when my confidence was at Zero... I Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable instructor to teach them how to drive not just for the test but all aspects of independent driving.

Can’t thank Matt enough

Can’t thank Matt enough, he helped me pass first time!

He breaks everything down and explains concepts in an easy to understand way. One thing I liked was that he really gets you to think about why you’re choosing to make a decision and doesn’t rush through things.

For example, he will get you to break a manoeuvre down into steps rather than getting you to do it in one.

His driving style is very safe and effective as it allows you the most time possible to use your judgement and make the best and safest decision.

It took me a while to grasp some things, but he was always happy to go over it as many times as I needed and is patient. It put me at ease. (And he’s a very friendly person!)

I’d highly recommend Matt and A-Class.

Simple and easy learning.

I passed my test second time round with this great company’s help. Their methods of teaching break down all aspects of driving to make learning as simple as possible especially for beginners. They also trust you behind the wheel and believe in making your own mistakes to learn where to improve in a safe and reliable manner. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Parminder

Here to say big thanks to my instructor Parminder. He has been very professional and patient though out and helped me manage my nerves and gain confidence to pass my driving test.
Parminder has been very flexible to book lessons according to my work schedule which was a big relief for me. He has got good and practical tips for all manoeuvres and basics of driving plus he doesn’t prepare you just for the test, he’s got teaching ways that I find would be helpful afterwards as well. Glad I chose A-class and Parminder for this very important skill of lifetime.

PARMINDER INSTRUCTOR

I started lessons with Parminder in August and passed my driving test first time! I honestly couldn’t have done it without him. Parminder is amazing at what he does — always professional, patient, and such a good laugh. He made every lesson feel comfortable and enjoyable, like learning to drive with a best friend.

His teaching style is spot on — clear, detailed, and full of helpful tips and tricks for manoeuvres, roundabouts, and everything in between. When I was ever unsure, he’d use visual diagrams to explain things perfectly, like how to spot blockers or judge when it’s safe to go.

He was also really flexible with lesson times to fit around my work schedule, which made things so much easier. I felt fully prepared and confident thanks to his guidance, and everything he taught me has stuck!

The lessons were worth every penny — fun, encouraging, and professional from start to finish. I’ll always be grateful to Parminder for helping me achieve this. Thank you so much! Take care! 🙏🏼
