Paul Sidor

I recently passed my test first time all thanks to my driving instructor Paul Sidor. Paul became my instructor in November, i really struggled at first but with his help over a period of a few months i significantly improved and became test ready. I am positive that i wouldn’t have passed my test if it wasn’t for Pauls understanding approach and can do attitude. If you live in Northampton i would highly recommend Paul Sidor, he is definitely someone you can rely on to get you to where you need to be.

Excellent teaching from Kwok To

Excellent experience with Red and my instructor Mr Kwok To. When I started with Kwok, he instantly read my skill level and gave me appropriately challenging lessons without overwhelming me. Kwok is very experienced at driving and instructing and I never felt like a lesson was wasted or repeated. In addition, he was very easy to communicate with, and flexible where possible to accommodate my schedule and needs. Thanks to Kwok, I passed my driving test first time!

Very happy

If you need an instructor in the Peterborough area, my instructor Daniel Hooban was brilliant at helping me build my confidence and was very informative, patient and friendly. Leading to me passing my test first attempt in Peterborough

Excellent experience with Roger Page

Excellent experience with Red and in particular my instructor Roger Page, who made my whole driving journey a joyful one. Made me feel at ease everytime I was in the car with him and virtually every lesson went out of his way to help me as much as he could. Even if this sometimes ment we went over my allotted two hour lesson. A great guy and a pleasure to have got to know him. Oh, and did I mention I passed first time. I have now recommended Roger to help my daughter on her driving journey.

Got an instructor named Rachel Crawford…

Got an instructor named Rachel Crawford and she used to shout at me during lessons but just wanted to get over with it so never bothered to report. One day she shouted at me again and I had had enough at this point, she said she was ending my lesson one hour into it and I called Red driving school to log a complaint about it and ask for a refund of my remaining hour. As this was a Monday, I went ahead to cancel all future lessons with Rachel and I had one for Wednesday. I was charged for that. I sent them screenshots of my chat with Rachel showing how she had cancelled lessons last minute and the manner in which she spoke to me sometimes. Red said they were going to investigate it and in the end just concluded that I will not be getting a refund for the hour Rachel canceled and for the lesson on the Wednesday. I did not receive any apology from either Red or Rachel in regard to her conduct and feel it was very unfair to have taken that hour’s money as well as the Wednesday lessons one. Not good customer service and support at all in this case.

Amazing driving instructor Tihomir Zagorov-

I started with RED last year- and I can’t fault them at all from start to end. Booking is so easy and lessons are always on time.

My driving instructor Tihomir Zagorov, was outstanding. Such a lovely, polite and patient instructor, and person in general. He never made me feel bad if I made a mistake, but encouraged me every step of the way. Ensured I felt comfortable at all points and understood everything I was being taught.

He always was on time to lessons, prompt and overall was amazing. His teaching is 10/10- and this helped me develop my confidence with driving. I also passed first time with him, which was so amazing!!

I can’t recommend him enough- if you’re ever looking for an instructor Tihomir Zagorov is outstanding!!

Instructor - David Bailey

Passed my test with one minor thanks to my amazing instructor David Bailey! Extremely knowledgeable, patient and kept me calm as a completely new driver starting with no experience. Highly recommend if you want to become a safe, responsible and confident driver.

I booked a lesson with an automatic car but a manual car turned up. Instead of organising with another local instructor to utilise the time I booked off work they have to listen back to the call so a complete disregard to my time and honesty for their error.

David Bailey 10/10

Get yourself David Bailey as an instructor, especially if you’re starting off as a new driver!

David has helped me become confident in my driving as he’s helped me become a driver who’s safe on the road with effective defensive driving techniques.

I’m just sad I only found out he was a fellow gunner supporter on test day!

I have been scams by Red Driving School

I had a very disappointing experience with Red Driving School. I paid £270 to start my driving lessons, but when it was time to begin, I was blocked on WhatsApp and could no longer contact them. I have not received the lessons I paid for, and I have not been given a satisfactory explanation.
Communication was extremely poor, and being blocked instead of receiving support was shocking and unprofessional.
Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend Red Driving School. I would advise anyone considering booking lessons to be very careful and ensure they have clear communication and written confirmation before making any payment.

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this matter. From what you’ve described, it seems you may have unfortunately fallen victim to a scam. Please be advised that driving lessons with RED can only be booked through our official contact centre, our website, or directly with a RED-approved Driving Instructor. We strongly urge customers not to make any payment directly to an instructor without first verifying their credentials with RED. We are aware of an increase in individuals posing as “official instructors” online, and in many cases, once payment is made, these individuals disappear along with the funds. To address this situation, we recommend the following: Report this incident to your local police authority, providing them with as much evidence as possible (e.g., screenshots of communications, payment receipts, etc.). Contact our customer services team at customer.services@go-red.co.uk, sharing all relevant details and evidence about this transaction. This will allow us to investigate the matter further and report it to the relevant authorities on your behalf. We deeply regret any inconvenience or loss this situation may have caused and are committed to helping prevent similar incidents in the future.
