I had a great experience with my instructor Kim Hart, she helped me pass first time. As an instructor she was very fair and methodical with her teaching approach, I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for a new driving instructor.

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Brian Lynch at Elite Driving School. Brian is a true professional and an excellent instructor.
When I came to him 2 months ago, I had no previous driving experience in the UK and asked him to prepare me for my practical test. From day one, every lesson was punctual, well-structured and productive, while still taking place in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Brian’s charisma alone probably deserves a separate review!
Most importantly, I recently walked out of Crawley Test Centre, widely known for being particularly challenging, with a pass certificate and only two minor faults.
I would highly recommend Brian to anyone who, like me, wants not only to pass their test, but also to feel genuinely confident behind the wheel in real-life situations. Brian doesn’t simply teach you how to pass an exam; he teaches you how to become a safe, capable and confident driver. That is incredibly valuable.
Thank you for everything, Brian!

I highly recommend Abdul Tawab!
I passed my driving test first time with 0 Minor faults, and I couldn’t have done it without Tawab’s excellent teaching!
At the beginning, we practised around Epsom , but Tawab suggested we can do more lessons in Redhill. It really helped me get used to the roads and made me feel much more confident for my test.
After every lesson, he always told me what I needed to improve and planned the next lesson around those points. Every lesson had a clear focus, and I could really see my progress.
Tawab is very friendly, patient and professional. He was always on time, his car was always clean, and he really cares about his students.
Thank you again, Abdul Tawab, for all your help and encouragement. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor!

I passed my driving test first time today with only 1 minor after having instructor Kim. Kim carefully built up my confidence to driving on busier roads and provided useful resources to the build up to my test. I would highly recommend elite driving school as I can now say I am confident to drive on my own and now with a good technique. Kim was very reliable and never let me down. Overall a very positive experience.

I started taking my lessons in September with Laura and less than 3 months later I've passed my practical test on the first go. I can't even start with how happy I am that I chose Elite. I was so worried about choosing the right instructor because I had heard how many of them are rude or take advantage of their customers so and so. However, I liked Laura from day one because she was so friendly. She never shouted at me, even though I done some pretty silly things every once in a while, yet she always stayed calm and explained me what I had done wrong even if she had explained it 100s of times before. I gained a lot of confidence thanks to her and her techniques. She knew when to push me forwards or when I simply needed more time with something. Thank you so much, Laura and Elite.. Anyone who is stuck with which driving school to choose I would definitely recommend Elite because my experience was really good!

I knew how to drive but had lots of bad habits in driving. These habits are considered to be major faults in driving test and lead to dangerous situation in real life driving. Thanks to GARRY who is an excellent instructor with Elite driving school. He taught me how to overcome all those faults that I was making since l start driving. It takes only few hours for him to make me pass in practical driving in first attempt without any fault. I recommend people to trust Elite where they can meet efficient instructors like GARRY to take lessons for an aim to pass the test with adequate tips and techniques for safe driving.
