Peter Better Driver Training

Peter was my instructor and he was absolutely amazing, he explained each topic in a clear manner and always made sure I communicated the things I found most difficult and then spent extra time nailing those. He also helped a lot with nerves right up until the test and made sure I did the best I could even if I was unsure about some topics.

Better driving School Tonbridge

Better driving School, tonbridge, John, outstanding instructor.
He has taught two of my three teenagers who both passed first time and are confident safe drivers.
You can tell he has been a professional driver for many years with his approach to teaching and road safety and driver awareness.
Also very helpful with being flexible around exams and appointments too.

Mark from Better Driver was honestly…

Mark from Better Driver was honestly the best instructor I could have ever had. He was calm and provided me with the tools I needed to become the independent driver I am now. I could not possibly recommend him enough to anyone using this service.

Dani from Better Driver

Dani from Better Driver was great for our daughter, who has autism and struggles significantly with social interactions. Dani put her at ease from the get go and is a very calm and patient instructor. She gave our daughter lots of positive encouragement which boosted her confidence and she has now passed her driving test, which is great. We can't recommend Dani highly enough.

A great experience with Better Driver Training

I heard about Better Driver Training through a friend of mine, and I happened to get the same instructor that he did. Mark was amazing at starting from scratch with the lessons and never seemed bored when we were driving slow and stalling all around the back roads. But as my confidence rose Mark also pushed me to take on more and do more driving. I failed my first test, and after a while I rescheduled some more lessons with Mark, to pick up where we left off and I have just passed on the second attempt, thank you Mark and thank you Better Driver Training

Peter was a great instructor

Peter was a great instructor! He could clearly identify what I personally needed to work on and we managed to cover lots of ground in all of our lessons. He teaches in a way that makes driving safely a natural instinct rather than just learning what would be “right” or “wrong”. Truly grateful for his help to pass first time.

The Best Instructor

I never thought I’d ever see the day I passed my test after having multiple instructors and so little confidence, but then I switched to Dani and my confidence sky rocketed. She was calm, patient and understanding, she’s easy to talk to and the way she teaches is so simple to understand. I passed today first time with 0 faults and it’s thanks to Dani, I’d highly recommend for anyone learning automatic.

Brilliant

My instructor, Mark, was so helpful. I only had 3 lessons with him, and passed on my first try with only a few minors. His method of instructing is great and made me confident going into the test.

Passed first time

Thanks to Rob, I passed first time with only 1 fault. He is a patient and calm instructor who is a natural when it comes to teaching and explaining. I would recommend him and better driver training to anyone and everyone. I have dyspraxia and struggle with coordination which is why I chose better driver training. I have achieved what for a long time, I never thought I could.
