What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Norwich, How-2-Drive learners repeatedly describe instructors who teach thoroughly rather than simply preparing people to pass. Several customers mention passing the practical test at the first attempt with no faults, crediting clear explanations and lessons tailored to how each individual learns. The patience of named instructors such as Rommel Del Rosario, Andrew Blaxter, James Tinsey, Lisa Arnold, Sherry, Luke, Chris, Kev and Gareth comes up often, as does their calm manner with nervous beginners.

More than one review highlights punctuality and a professional attitude, alongside constructive feedback after every session that builds confidence step by step. One thing mentioned again and again is how instructors explain the reasoning behind manoeuvres and road decisions, so learners understand the skill instead of memorising it. Being chatty and easy going while still ironing out errors without stress is another recurring theme, and older learners note that previous instructors compared unfavourably.

The support continues through the test itself, with customers describing a reassuring presence behind the wheel and teaching that extends to safe driving beyond the exam. Both a learner and their partner passing with the same instructor illustrates the consistency described across the accounts. The instruction that stays with learners is the habit of driving safely for the long term. This is echoed in how former pupils speak about Andrew Blaxter.

Passed first time with instructor Andrew Blaxter in Norwich, he’s been a great instructor throughout the whole process and could not recommend him enough! He’s patient, helpful and adjusts his lessons to suit each individual for whatever they need. He’s accommodating to your situations and always does his best to try and help you out where he can. Andrew really teaches you to drive rather than just pass your test, Both me and my partner have now passed first time with Andrew. I do not think I could have gotten a better instructor. Thanks again for everything ☺️ I recommend him to everyone thinking about starting your lessons

Title: Driving Instructor Review I would like to say a huge thank you to my driving instructor for all the support, patience, and guidance throughout my lessons. Today I passed my practical driving test with ZERO driving faults and ZERO minor faults, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier. This achievement would not have been possible without the excellent training, advice, and confidence my instructor gave me. My instructor was always professional, patient, encouraging, and focused on making sure I understood not just how to pass the test, but how to become a safe and responsible driver. I would highly recommend my instructor to anyone learning to drive. If you want a professional instructor who genuinely cares about your progress and success, I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you so much for everything! 🚗🎉

Highly recommend Rommel Del Rosario (Driving Instructor) and How-2-Drive! I passed my driving test first time in Norwich with ZERO faults, and I couldn’t have done it without Rommel’s excellent teaching. He is very patient, professional and supportive, and explains everything clearly and in detail. Every lesson was worthwhile, and he helped me build my confidence and driving skills step by step. He genuinely teaches you to drive safely and confidently, not just to pass the test. A huge thank you to Rommel for all his guidance and encouragement. Fantastic instructor and excellent service — 100% recommended!

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with James Tinsey. His explanations were always clear and tailored to the way I learn, which made every skill feel achievable. He never rushed anything and always made sure I genuinely understood what we were doing. A huge thank you to him for helping me build my confidence on the road, he was incredibly reassuring throughout every lesson, and that made a massive difference. I’ll miss the chats we had during our sessions, would 100% recommend him to anyone!

I had Kev as my driving instructor as well as Gareth. Both were always very easy going, chatty and funny and always helped me iron out my errors stress free. I would really recommend them to anyone who feels nervous about learning to drive. I started off as quite an anxious driver, but Kev and Gareth really helped me out with feeling comfortable and assured that I can pass! Kudos to both of them, I truly believe they were just the right instructors for me.

Andrew Blaxter has been an amazing instructor with a fantastic approach to teaching. He always took the time to explain the reasoning behind everything, which really helped me understand rather than just memorise. Every lesson included constructive feedback that helped me improve my driving and build my confidence. Thanks to his patience and guidance, I passed my driving test first time with zero faults. Would definitely recommend!!

I was with How-2-Drive and had the instructor Matthew B for automatic lessons. Honestly, he is best instructor. He’s really patient and explained everything really well. Had such a flexible schedule so it was easy to do lessons and very affordable. I passed first time, no minors because of Matt. Really recommend this school and instructor. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :)
