Drive Excellent Driving School Southampton

Absolutely fantastic instructor so helpful and patient couldn't have done it so well if not for him don't think I would have passed so easy would recommend him to anyone if your stuck on what driving company to use go for this company this guy is the best.

Michael was an excellent instructor. Thanks to his guidance and patient teaching, I passed first time with only a few minors after 30 hours of lessons. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Michael is a fantastic teacher, he's really focused on trying to make sure you are fully ready for the road. He truly knows his stuff and great at confidence building. Highly recommend as I've had alot of driving instructors but he was the best!

I had to change instructors during my driving lessons, and I can honestly say that my instructor at this school made a huge difference to my progress and was probably one of the main reasons I passed my test. What I appreciated most was his attention to detail and high standards. We didn’t just move on after doing something “well enough” but we kept practicing and refining things until I could do them confidently and correctly. That approach helped me improve much faster and gave me a lot of confidence before my test. I also really liked the way he explained things. It wasn’t just verbal instruction as he used drawings and visual explanations whenever needed, which made everything much easier to understand. Whenever I made a mistake, he didn’t just point it out. He would ask questions to understand why I had done it and then work on the root cause of the problem. It felt like he was genuinely invested in helping me become a better driver, not just teaching me how to pass a test. Throughout my lessons, I always felt that my progress was the priority. There was never any sense of dragging lessons out unnecessarily. When he felt I was ready for the test, he was honest about it, and that gave me confidence going into the exam. He also is the perfect balance between being strict and being relaxed. The lessons were enjoyable and friendly, but they were also highly productive. After every lesson, I felt more confident and more capable behind the wheel. I would absolutely recommend this school and this instructor to anyone learning to drive. I’m very grateful to my friend for recommending them to me. By the end, I was almost a little sad that the lessons were over because I genuinely enjoyed them. More importantly, they helped me become a safer and more confident driver.

Michael was amazing, gave Ellie great tips and tought her so well she passed first time with just 3 minors, within a handful of lessons , highly recommend his services

I don’t really know what to say, absolutely excellent experience with Drive Excellent! I was so so nervous at the start as I’ve had a few instructors and I never made it to test. The clues in the name! Excellent experience thank you so much! Fully recommend

Michael is an excellent driving instructor - he is patient, attentive and above all, kind. He clearly takes a great deal of pride in his work, as he keeps the car clean/tidy, and in perfect working order to ensure it’s as easy to learn as possible. I could not recommend him enough.
