I honestly can’t thank Paul enough for everything he’s done for me. From my very first lesson, he was so patient, calm, and reassuring, and he always took the time to explain things in a way that made sense. He never made me feel rushed or judged, even when I made mistakes, and that really helped me build my confidence. You can tell Paul genuinely wants the best for everyone he teaches. He goes above and beyond to make sure you’re ready, not just to pass your test but to become a safe and confident driver. I really couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor, and I feel so lucky to have had him helping me through the whole journey. The company has been brilliant too. Everyone has been so friendly, supportive, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. Everything has been well organised, and they’ve always been happy to help with any questions or changes. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. A massive thank you to Paul and the whole team for all your support – I would recommend you to anyone looking to learn to drive! Read Less

I would highly recommend Jason Taylor automatic driving instructor He is patient,helpful,calm,friendly, and so supportive Jason makes the first lesson so enjoyable and relaxed. i really appreciated his clear straight forward guidance & explanations which made me remember them. even when he gave me constructive criticism /feed back it was done without me feeling stupid or stressed. Jason was supported which gave me the confidence to improve and pass Jason calmly explains manurers and skills needed to drive in a relaxed but professional environment. he is easy to talk too and ask questions if needed too. I honestly wouldn’t have pasted with any one else. Jason is the instructor you would want when learning to drive Automatics. Thank you Jason Read Less

Don’t waste your time with (instructor) Chris lister. He completely knocked my daughter’s confidence, made her feel like she couldn’t drive and just would never be able to progress as he didn’t let her. She had 27 lessons with Chris and didn’t even go over 30mph, touch on roundabouts, barely went on a main road and worse of all didn’t even exceed past 3rd gear. She didn’t have a clue how to go into 4th gear as hadn’t been taught, because Chris was too busy obsessing over small techniques and perfecting. She spent 11 driving lessons at the same junction for the full hour of the lesson in the same small housing area. Whilst he obsessed over how her hands were placed when turning the wheel! How ridiculous honestly 1000 pounds wasted on this crap. She described him as being irritable, huffing and puffing, taking deep breaths, using phrases as “you just aren’t understanding/getting this” whilst taking a deep breath. She seemed to spend the duration of the lesson moving metres down the road at 10pmh before him pulling her over into the side and criticising her. Many times she would also arrive back of the lesson not even driving!! Chris driving the car!! What learning is that? She claimed this also happened often. If I wanted my daughter to be drove round the same 3 streets near home I’d have just done it myself!! She came off every single lesson in tears and was in tears before every single lesson. I don’t know what I’ve been paying for to be honest because it just seems like an absolute mess. Surely a learner driver needs to build confidence, get a feel of the car and general driving, situations your going to meet and actual experience before fussing over correcting small techniques like he was how is that beneficial in anyway? He also seemed to have a habit of being late for lessons or turning up for lessons at the wrong place and then me being fined even though having evidence of my daughter telling him the location him just getting it wrong. He also claimed that his car was regularly broke at least once a month messaging 5 minutes before lessons letting her know that where the other way round she’d be charged or even one time letting her know 6 minutes into the lesson whilst she’d been stood at the door waiting. I don’t understand how this okay? Or how if his cars that prone to “breaking” is it safe or even legal to be used for learner drivers.I had completely had enough and got another instructor to asses my daughters driving and they told me it seemed as she’d had 10 or less driving lessons from her experience. How ridiculous when she’d almost had double that!!!!!! She’s now carried on with this instructor who after 3 lessons has taken her on test routes, to Driffield, hull and even completing roundabouts and reversing when my daughter couldn’t even get in 4th gear with Chris and the issue Chris fussed about for 11 lessons and I spent £400 on was resolved on the first lesson was the new instructor. I’m disgusted and dissapointed by his work and think he needs to worry about what’s really important. Read Less

After 7 months of lessons, I passed first time in an automatic with Lee, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. I’m so grateful for all the support, patience, and laughs along the way. Every lesson was enjoyable, and I genuinely looked forward to our Thursday drives each week. Lee always explained everything clearly, stayed calm and encouraging, and never made me feel silly for making mistakes. Even when I doubted myself, he always had confidence in me and pushed me to become a safe, confident driver. Passing first time wouldn’t have happened without his guidance and support. Thank you for everything, Lee — you’ve been amazing from start to finish, and I’d highly recommend you to anyone learning to drive. 🚗✨ Read Less

I couldn’t recommend Jayson at Arrow Driving Academy enough as a driving instructor. He is amazing—so patient, calm, and always respectful and friendly. From the very beginning, he made me feel completely comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He explains everything in a really straightforward way and always gives clear, helpful advice that actually sticks. Even when giving feedback or criticism, it’s done in such a supportive way that it really helps you improve without feeling discouraged. Learning to drive can be stressful, but Jayson creates such a relaxed environment that it makes a huge difference. I honestly wouldn’t go with anyone else. If you’re learning to drive, he’s exactly the kind of instructor you want! Thank you Jay ur the Best . Read Less

13:23, 9th of March 2017, Newland Avenue, Hull. Very slow, hardly moving traffic in both directions, opposite(northbound) lane blocked by offloading delivery van. My lane hardly moving, so decided to stop in front of the van to let cars from opposite lane to proceed by going around van. Pure common sense and altruism. The Arrow car stick me up from behind, not keeping safe distance, intimidating with his continuous beeping, flying hands, unacceptable gesturing and abusive shouting. By that time car in my lane ahead of me moved ahead by 2-3 car leinght.... Aftet that, Arrow car went all the way down Newlands avenue without turning in any side road so I don't understand what was his desperate rush about. What can you learn from this kind of savage instructor? Doesn't patience, calm driving and looking after other read users comes as top prerogative when you teaching someone to drive? Absolute barbarian behind the wheel, and the fact it was in heavy traffic where you don't loose anything by giving others way makes that driver to look very unintelligent on top of everything else. If he had a learner driver in his car during this this, that would belong to "no comment" definition. FJ17TPU, 13:23, 9th of March 2017 Read Less

my first lessons were great but the guy had to cancel my lessons due to personal reasons. said he would pass my details on to another driver to carry on my lessons no futher contact from this company til i left them a message got back in touch a week later and gave me a new driver called mike first lesson was okish to rubbish he was quite passive aggresive cause i couldnt drive as well as he would like me too. had 1 more lesson with him was just getting worse but with the other guy was getting better. i dont think he like the fact i was a bit rubbish at driving and couldnt be bothered to teach me cause i kept making mistakes every driver makes when they first time driver kept asking if i had something wrong with in my head or asking consantly are u drugs i was very offended. i think he only likes to teach drivers that are already good at driving. he said maybe u should give up driving i didnt think its for u stick to biking. said he ask another person in the company if they had more time to teach me or if anyone else has got an automatic car instead. since then 6 weeks ago never heard back from him or the company so i could only give 1 star i would give no stars if it was possible. this experince has really put me off wanting to learn to drive but why should it just cause what one guy called mike said gonna try another company that is more professnal.
