What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Sustainable Driving School runs from Friars Wharf in Oxford, open every day from seven in the morning until eight in the evening, giving plenty of scope for early or late bookings. Reviewers consistently link the lessons to one instructor, AJ, whose calm and patient manner recurs throughout the feedback. Several learners describe passing on their first attempt, crediting clear explanations and a steady, confidence-building teaching style rather than a rush towards the test date.

A theme running through the feedback is his flexibility with scheduling, fitting in extra lessons at short notice, which learners travelling from Banbury and elsewhere in Oxfordshire have found useful. Both manual and automatic tuition are mentioned, allowing a choice depending on preference. Reviewers frequently note his sense of humour and relaxed approach, paired with a focus on practical, lasting driving habits rather than test technique alone.

Nervous learners describe feeling at ease from the first lesson, with encouragement and useful tips offered throughout rather than saved for the end. Comments also highlight responsiveness when pupils need to arrange lessons quickly. Together these accounts describe a dependable teaching style that has helped a range of pupils progress towards their licence, with the wide daily opening hours making it straightforward to fit lessons around work, study or other commitments.

I had a great experience passing my driving test with AJ. He’s honestly one of the best instructors you could ask for. He’s super patient٫ calm and has a great sense of humour which makes every lesson enjoyable and takes away the stress AJ knows exactly how to build your confidence behind the wheel. He always encourages you gives useful tips and makes sure you understand not just how to pass the test, but how to become a safe and confident driver for everyday life. The lessons were always relaxed, well organised and never felt boring. I actually looked forward to them. If you’re looking for an instructor who’s friendly, professional, supportive, and genuinely cares about your progress, I can’t recommend AJ enough. Thanks again AJ٫I couldn’t have done it without you.

I could not recommend AJ anymore, I passed first time with him and I can definitely say he is amazing at what he does. He helps you in many ways with many teaching techniques. He helps you build confidence within yourself and throughout all my lessons he made me laugh and feel comfortable. 10/10 highly recommended.
