Thank you Angie!

Angie, my instructor, was absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly, patient and easy to talk to. I would HIGHLY recommend Angie to anyone wanting to drive who is a little nervous and unsure. Angie made me love driving and I’m so grateful that I passed first time thanks to her! :)

DrewMatic review

I recently passed my driving test with DrewMatic thanks to the help of Craig. Truly an amazing instructor who helped me work on all of my weaknesses throughout my time driving with him, so that I was a confident and focused driver for my test. I was able to pass with only 1 minor fault, an achievement I never thought I would be capable of and never could have done without Craig's help. I highly recommend learning to drive with him if you are looking for an instructor.

Thanks to my instructor Ian

Ian from Drewmatic has helped me immensely to pass my driving exam. I couldn't believe that I would be able to pass on my first attempt, as I was so nervous. He managed to calm me down on our way to the testing centre, and surprisingly, I passed.

He covered all the topics necessary to help me become a safe driver. I can truly feel the difference in his approach compared to my previous instructor from another area, who made me more anxious. Thanks again, Ian, for your patience, encouragement, and support. I truly appreciate it, especially during my exam, as my anxiety was through the roof. I couldn't have done it without you. 👍

Passed my test today

Passed my test today, 0 faults with Charlotte. She is an incredible instructor, very understanding and helpful. Wouldn’t have changed anything about the way I was taught. I went from not having any experience driving, complete beginner to passing within 2/3 months. Definitely recommend!!

Highly recommend Steve atkins

Had Steve Atkins as my driving instructor and he has made me into a safe and confident driver. He’s patient and would always make sure if I had any worries we would focus on them and look for different ways to do things till I found a way that works for me.

Just passed today with Angie

Just passed today with Angie as my instructor for the last few months. She has done an amazing job teaching me everything I needed to know in order to pass my test with a lot of confidence heading into the test. She is a credit to the company and I could not recommend her enough if anyone in the Durham/Darlington area is looking for an automatic driving instructor!

Angie Drewmatic 5* instructer

Angie from Darlington/Durham area was 5* star. From the moment I reached out to her to taking my first then last lesson, she always made me at ease, comfortable and most importantly helped me finally enjoy my learning to drive experience. Her style of teaching enabled me to learn fundamental skills in a fun and rememberable way. She is a credit to drewmatic & I could not have passed without her patience and support. I will always be grateful - thank you so much again!
