I would like to say i cant relate to any of the appaling reviews below but I will write my review about my instructor John.
John got me through the hardest challenge of my entire driving journey, I started my driving 2 years ago and left it go because I could not pass my theory, now starting lessons with him in end of November/december time I got so confident as time went on with his guidance and encouraged me to keep going although I am a defeatist. I had 6 tests with him, each one better than the other but he always accommodated even when he was busy and ultimately because of him leading me to pass. He had a can do attitude and never once told me I could not do it, his learning approach is fantastic and you can have a laugh with him, he is genuinely funny and you can tell he loves his job (although I am sure he was sick of seeing me) overall a massive thank you and I simply cant wait to continue my driving journey 😁Oh and he has an audi a3
He had basically helped me pass with 30+ hours on the books with him and 6 tests (cause of my mindset im sure)

"I invested in 20 lessons with Red Driving School, clocking in 2 hours each, with the goal of acing my driving test. when i booked my test i informed my instructor but he said unfortunately that time he can’t .. then again i changed my test date and told him ,then he said i need more lesson with him then he took extra lessons from me.. i have no questions about this..However, the rug was pulled out from under me when, just one day before my test not one day i have no time to manage another instructor , my instructor bailed, saying they couldn't make it. Seriously? After all that time and money, this last-minute abandonment left me high and dry, totally unprepared, and feeling like my investment was a complete waste. If you're looking for a reliable instructor who will actually be there for you on test day, think twice before choosing Red Driving School."

this company uses good marketing and pride themselves on 'good' driving instructors! i would like to clarify you that this is not the case.
Having invested alot of my money into there company I feel completely ripped off. my instructor was very bad at communicating, he cancelled my lessons last minuets numerous amounts of times, On my first test, he called up that evening and said he had plans and couldnt make it. (I did think of changing my instrucor so many times but didnt due to feeling like i wouldve had to get to know another car + instructor :/)
On the day of my second booked test he showed up in another car and forget to tell me? when calling red to discuss this they told me i should had been ready to drive any car... if anyone has taken there test or is about to they would know how horrible this experiance is (full of anxiety, lots of doubt and the worry you'll have to fork out another £116!)
Prior to this my instructor asked if i would pay in cash, for this reason red said they couldn't clarify i had even taken the classes, or had my test. But i felt obliged to pay in cash by the way he asked.
In my experiance i WOULDN'T advise anyone to book through red, especially avoiding Wailam Wong!
Best luck on your driving, i hope your experiance is better than mine, I have now gone through a local company (defaintly better to support local businesses anyhow, who dont lie in there advertising) and passed.
Am sharing this because driving is expensive &, stressful, I wish i would had been notified about the company or my instructor before.
Good luck!

Would not recommend. I paid for a lesson upfront as requested and without any notice the instructor Jacek did not show; my calls and messages never got returned and my money got taken. On another occasion, he threatened to cancel my upcoming lessons and driving test booking if I didn’t pay them all upfront. He had difficulty explaining certain things during lessons which increased my anxiety while driving. Avoid him at all costs.
