What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Pike Road in the Efford area of Plymouth is home to this school, where reviews consistently centre on one instructor, Chris, and his calm, unflappable manner with learners. Several accounts describe pupils who arrived anxious or dealing with anxiety and depression finding lessons reassuring rather than stressful, with feedback delivered constructively and without pressure. A feature of many accounts is efficiency, with pupils reaching test standard in relatively few hours and passing first time, including through periods when lockdowns disrupted normal teaching.

A number of reviews mention that he pushes learners to improve without rushing them, striking a balance between challenge and patience that builds genuine confidence behind the wheel. Word of mouth features heavily too, with many pupils saying they signed up after friends or family had already learned with Chris, pointing to a consistent standard maintained over several years of feedback.

The tone throughout is one of steady, good-humoured instruction rather than a strict or formal approach, with banter mentioned alongside clear teaching as something that put nervous learners at ease. Lessons run every day of the week from nine in the morning until nine at night, and that flexibility around scheduling appears to suit a range of pupils, from first-time learners to those returning after a break, all based at the Efford premises in Plymouth.

Couldn't have picked a better instructor to learn with. Chris is extremely calm and patient, and as someone with anxiety Chris really knows how to reassure you and help you to build your confidence. Can't recommend him enough.

I found out about Chris from mutual friends, as they all went with him for their driving. Also, I suffer with anxiety and depression, and Chris is absolutely brilliant in the way how he deals with you. There is no shouting or belittling, just great/hilarious banter even when you make mistakes, and that's what makes you feel at ease! and it drives you to do better! Definitely would reccomend! 10/10. Thank you Chris.
