What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Passing first time or in a small number of lessons is the theme that comes up most often among reviews of Driving Solution's Newcastle branch on Roeburn Way in Kenton, with pupils repeatedly crediting instructor Thomas for quick progress. A firm but fair teaching style is mentioned again and again, pairing clear technical guidance with the kind of reassurance that builds confidence behind the wheel.

Two accounts refer to resitting a test after losing a licence or a previous setback, with lessons structured to rebuild both driving skill and self-belief in a short space of time. Techniques such as manoeuvres and roundabout handling are said to be explained clearly and in detail, with the focus placed on forming safe habits for life rather than only meeting the pass criteria on the day. Flexibility around lesson scheduling is noted as well, alongside a consistently professional and knowledgeable manner throughout the course.

Intensive tuition is referenced as part of the offering, suiting learners who want to progress quickly rather than over many months. Weekday hours run from eight in the morning until seven in the evening, with Saturday lessons available until six, giving those in Newcastle scope to fit sessions around work or study commitments during the week or at the weekend.

Very professional. The instructor (Thomas) was as flexible as possible with lessons when needed. Got me passed first time! 😄 Will definitely recommend them to anyone needing an intensive course or otherwise.

After I moved to UK I had to take the driving exam again. I took 10 hours with Thomas and during that time he helped me to improve the quality of my driving such that I passed with 0 faults. Thomas is a great instructor and he also expects that from his pupils.

I had an excellent experience being instructed by Thomas. He is firm but fair and makes sure you are beyond the skill level required to pass your test. Id recommend him to anyone.
