1st Mile Automatic Driving Tuition

Vladimir has been an outstanding instructor for my daughter’s driving lessons. She consistently described him as calm, thorough, and highly systematic. Thanks to his guidance, she passed her driving test on the first attempt. We couldn’t be more grateful for his support!”

I passed my practical driving test yesterday, and I couldn’t have done it without Vladimir. Vladimir is incredibly intelligent and very detail-oriented. He doesn’t just explain what to do - he makes sure you truly understand why things happen on the road. What really stood out to me was that he: • identifies mistakes and explains their root causes, even the non-obvious ones, and gives clear guidance on how to fix them • provides structured, easy-to-follow approaches and adapts his explanations to suit you personally • supports you through the emotional side of driving, including fears and anxiety • patiently works through difficulties with you, repeating things in practice as many times as needed until it finally clicks. Vladimir is very results-driven, but at the same time supportive and professional. After a negative experience with another instructor, I honestly didn’t think I would ever feel confident driving. Vladimir completely changed that for me. Now I feel comfortable behind the wheel, and most importantly, safe. I’m truly grateful and would highly recommend Vladimir to anyone learning to drive.

I really enjoyed my driving lessons with Vladimir. He is calm, supportive, and always made me feel comfortable, even in stressful situations. He explained UK driving rules very clearly and helped me build confidence step by step. Thanks to his professional approach, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. I highly recommend Vladimir to anyone learning to drive in the UK.

Driving with First mile was an excellent experience, Vladimir was kind and patient with any mistakes and was easy to get a long with. The lessons are very fairly priced compared to other companies and he worked around you with times.

I have been learning to drive with Vladimir since February and I have nothing but nice things to say about him. He is extremely knowledgeable and is more than happy to revisit any areas of driving that you want further practice with. He extremely patient , calm and thorough and wants to ensure that you are confident within yourself. He has an extremely friendly and humorous personality which made learning to drive that much easier. I can’t recommend him enough. I passed my test first time and he was extremely supportive on the lead up to my test. He is well-known in the driving community and has a great reputation with examiners. Thank you for everything Vladimir.

Nicest driving instructor I’ve had! He was very patient with me and my mistakes 😅 I had a few instructors before Vladimir and I just felt very nervous with them but with 1st mile i felt a lot more comfortable and confident I could do it. I would 100% recommend 1st mile to anyone! Thank you for helping me pass my test!

I started as a complete beginner in February of this year and from the get go, Vladimir has always been incredibly patient and kind in our lessons together. As an anxious person myself, I was worried about a lot of things. But Vladimir always understood that and guided me through anything I found particularly stressful or difficult. He also knew when to push me out of my comfort zone and I fully trusted him with that because I knew he believed that I was capable enough. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the way other drivers are and what you're thinking as a learner. When I sat at a mini roundabout for too long, he understood that my brain was fearing the cars coming straight across, when in reality it was only the cars from the right I needed to worry about. If I kept too close to the curb when a lorry or a bus came past, he knew I was afraid of them but encouraged me to own my space and go past with confidence. It's now September and I've passed my test first time. Leading up to the day, Vladimir was really on it with targeting those areas where I thought I might be lacking. He also took me to the test centre the day before and told me step by step what would happen. I really appreciated that because I normally get stressed about going to new places. It just felt like he really understood what type of person I was and what I needed from him. Any learner driver would be incredibly lucky to have Vladimir as their instructor.
