I have had an amazing time with my driving instructor, I have felt very comfortable and easy doing something that has always stressed me out. Being with Ryan made my nerves of driving disappear and more turn into excitement to be out. Ryan has been a very jolly and kind every lesson, which has helped me so much. It’s more like going out for a drive with your friend rather than an instructor and he had changed his teaching early on to a way that suits me better. 10/10 very happy with Lendrums and with Ryan especially.
I started lessons with lendrums after my previous instructor from a different driving school said they needed more lessons and couldn't accommodate me anymore. My driving instructor, Gavin , was able to accommodate my schedule and made lessons interesting and helpful. Gavin was a friendly and knowledgeable instructor and accommodated my pre booked test from the previous instructor.
Lendrums were super efficient in helping me find a driving instructor to get me on the road. I didn't have the best start to my driving journey thanks to the COVID 19 lockdowns and a severe lack of confidence but my instructor Lauren helped me find that confidence and love for driving I so desperately needed. Thank you Lauren for helping me achieve my first time pass!
Had a few lessons with Andy before passing my test first time. I found him to be a really upbeat and super friendly instructor to work with. Highly recommended him, you can expect enjoyable and easy going lessons.
Luke is a confident teacher who can listen, understands & can explain driving techniques. The feedback Harry got was very valuable in helping him understand what to do to improve. Fully knowledgeable on the expectations of the driving test & helped Harry no end pass 1st time with his relaxed confident approach. Would highly recommend Luke to anyone & everyone!
My son passed his driving test today after learning with Gavin. Gavin is very patient and down to earth, he made my son feel very at ease & definitely made the learning to drive experience a lot easier. Would highly recommend Gavin if you are looking to learn to drive in the Plymouth area. Thanks Gavin 🚗
Had a great experience getting taught by Luke, he is an incredibly genuine and professional guy, and I really enjoyed the lessons. Luke was very supportive and kind, and overall a great chap. I highly recommend Luke as a driving instructor and overall person.
