Great instructor
Tim Dale is a great driving instructor, he really helped me to prepare for my driving test and develop general driving skills. I would really recommend him as instructor to new learners as I found the way that he structured his teaching and lessons really helpful.

Been so let down by both company and the instructor Adam Stoll …. Bought my package for automatic car for 21 hours and already knew how to drive just needed more confidence in the streets . Had all my hours in a 4 weeks frame and the have an exam on the 5th of August . Instructor knew about my exam before even starting the lessons and did mention it every single lesson about it as well . On his schedule I was already booked for exam with him. Been told at the lessons that I’m doing great and will do fine on the exam . On the last lesson we chatted about it and said we will meet on the exam day as I’m leaving for holiday now . Yesterday he called me refusing to give me a car for the exam because if I fail that will reflect on his car …. Which is so disappointing knowing that he told me after we already finished the lessons and he could not even say this to my face , and fed me bullshit through out the lessons . I think it’s very unprofessional to say this the last minute when I’m no longer able to find anyone else for the exam . He offered me to get my own car and do the exam but not in his . Called to RED to complain and all they could do is refund me for 3 hours of exam lesson and that’s all they could not do anything else about it . Wouldn’t be so angry about the situation if it were mentioned at some point in the lessons that he thought I would need some extra few hours, but he chose to use the lessons first and let me know through the phone.

Qurban Yousefi (Ali)
I’d highly recommend Qurban Yousefi to anyone learning to drive in South West London. I recently passed my test with Qurban as my instructor.
Through his patience and support, Qurban helped me build my confidence behind the wheel, to the point where I genuinely enjoyed driving.
He picked up on areas where I needed improvement and gave practical, easy to remember tips, like using street lights and calling out signs when I see them to identify speed limits, which really helped to polish my driving for the test
His mock tests were also great preparation for the real thing
A friendly, professional instructor who I’d recommend to any learner driver

Tanisha Broady was a great instructor
Tanisha Broady was a great instructor. She went through all the important roads/details and made sure you have that in your mind. She also supplied various materials to study which was helpful.
I passed the first time 🥳

My experience with Red was Brilliant
My experience with Red was Brilliant. I had Alan Gray Aberdeen as my instructor and he was so nice, understanding and patient. He helped to calm me down when I was worried that I couldn't do ssomething and was able to cheer me up when I failed my test. He took the time that was needed to get me to my next go at my test and passed. I cant thank Alan enough.

Taimoor Shah Eshaq Zai was the greatest instructor i could have had. He was patient, supportive, and determined to help me pass. As an anxious person, it look me longer and i struggled but he was so good at explaining things and reminding me that it is okay. Can not recommending learning with him enough. Thank you!

Hosai Zarif
I fully recommend Hosai as a driving instructor. She’s very patient and understanding with all of her students, and I have always felt comfortable driving with her. She is also very clear at explaining everything when a learner is confused, and I have created a very good bond with her.

I just had my test in Warwick with driving instructor Mehmmud Ul Hassan. Great instructor, calmly assists and helps you understand how to overcome mistakes, keeping me calm in the process. Would definitely recommend.

Mariam helped me get my driving confidence back and brush up on weaker skills after quite a few years of not driving (after my international licence expired), so that I was able to pass my GB test on the first attempt :)

I just passed my practical test first time!!
I just passed my practical test first time with Vicky Morris, before her I was anxious, dangerous on the road and unconfident due to a previous instructor else where, in a few months she has brought me around to loving driving and being able to do it safely & confidently, I recommend her so much and will be letting my learner friends know to go straight to her! I am so happy and so grateful!!

Bought lessons for my daughter instructor outta first 9 lessons cancelled 6 on the same day and even at the exact time of lesson doing 3 outta 9 ain’t acceptable,
My daughter cancelled once 30 hours before genuine cancellation they charged the full 2 hours ,
It’s ok to waste your time but there greedy the other way round ,
Need to bring some respect to the table
I have had other remaining hours refunded
Etiquette’s needed

Shah Hussain - Refresher - City of London
I had a refresher course with Shah Hussain in the City of London and it was a fantastic experience. Shah was extremely helpful in re-familiarising myself with driving in a new country and explained concepts clearly and effectively. Shah was excellent at progressing me on to more challenging situations at my comfort and was a calm presence in the car.
I couldn’t recommend Shah Hussain more highly for anyone looking to take a refresher course in the City of London.

Incredible instructor!! Tomasz Cieslikiewicz from Wood Green in North London
Can't recommend Tomasz enough!
I found him 2 weeks before my test and wish I had found him sooner. Safe to say I was not test ready, even though I'd been learning with another instructor, after my first lesson with Tomasz I realised there were a lot of gaps in my knowledge and I had developed a lot of bad habits, and I wasn't confident behind the wheel.
Tomasz helped me get as prepared for the test as I could be within the time I had left. He corrected my bad habits, practiced the test routes with me, built up my confidence and we had a good laugh along the way.
I passed first time!

Driving lessons
My instructor, Martins Sukulejs was great he helped me understand all the concepts of driving I needed to know clearly and helped me pass my test first time with ease. He was very kind on all of my lessons and always on time if not early. I would definitely recommend him.
