HOLLY is the best instructor any learner could have. She’s incredibly patient and has supported me through my driving journey! Her constructive feedback and delivery helped me as a learner to be more attentive and improve on my mistakes. She’s truly amazing at her job and more instructors should aim to be more like her! I passed today and I was a little bit too excited… but she was so happy for me and that made this journey so much more bitter sweet! Shout out to Holly!

I honestly cannot recommend HOLLY enough. She is such a lovely, warm, and kind person who makes every lesson enjoyable and comfortable. From day one, she was incredibly attentive, patient, and understanding, always taking the time to explain things clearly and making sure I felt confident behind the wheel.
Her instructions are always clear and easy to follow, and she has a wonderful way of making you feel calm and supported while driving. Holly truly goes above and beyond for her students, offering encouragement, reassurance, and kind words whenever they're needed.
After 6 months of lessons with Holly, I passed my driving test first time, and I genuinely couldn't have done it without her. It was a team effort, and her dedication, knowledge, and belief in me played a huge part in my success.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give her 100! Words can't fully express how grateful I am for all her help, support, and patience. She became more than just an instructor, she was my diary, a friend and just someone i could talk to about anything. Thank you, Holly, for everything and for simply being you. You're truly the best driving instructor anyone could ask for.

passed first time with Craig as my instructor, after trying to take lessons with other instructors for years Craig was so patient and calm and talked me through every step of the way he put me at ease and it felt like a friend was teaching me. I literally couldn’t have passed without him. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a friendly calm patient instructor and hope he is still teaching when my children are ready to start driving. He is such a chilled person and couldn’t have done more for me if he tried. Thank you Craig.

I had such a great experience with Craig from kinetic. After not getting on with my previous instructor from a different company and waiting a year to start lessons again I started with Craig from kinetic. From start to finish Craig was supportive and understanding when I’d get nervous (especially before my test 😂) but with his help and guidance I passed first time with only two minors 🙏. Would definitely recommend.

My driving instructor, Vicki Clarke, was truly amazing. She was incredibly patient, friendly, warm, and approachable. Most of the time, lessons felt less like formal instruction and more like having a supportive friend by my side who genuinely had my back.
From the very beginning, she believed in me and always took the time to celebrate even my smallest wins. Thanks to her guidance, I passed my driving test first time with zero faults—something I never imagined was possible when I started as a complete beginner.
I couldn’t be more grateful for everything she taught me. Thank you so much, Vicki. I know I’ll always think of you whenever I share the story of how I became a confident driver on UK roads.

I passed my driving test first time with him and I'll really miss my weekly lessons with him! If you go with kinetic definitely ask for Liam!

Massive thanks to my amazing instructor Liam! So happy to have passed first time today after a 30 hr intensive but also sad not to be having lessons anymore as they were always something to look forward to. Would definitely recommend Kinetic and Liam, was always very friendly, professional and made me feel safe and comfortable. Thankyou so much for all your help (and for providing an abundance of mints, sorry not sorry for eating them all)

This school has at least two teachers that have been extremely unprofessional. One did not show up to arranged lessons and gone awol, did not tell me that he can no longer provide his car for my test only two weeks before my test. The other one was hysterically yelling at times and continued to charge as she wishes making up stories. Also did not turn up for lessons as she wishes and failed to be punctual on the day of my test, telling me I must pay more than previously said. What is even more unbearable is her manners towards her colleague, telling me how bad my previous teacher was in the majority of our lessons. Not sure which is more absurd, but definitely would not recommend this school at all to anyone who wishes to pass!

I was becoming disillusioned with my old driving school - cancelling lessons, being late for lessons, instructor not very understanding (i am nervous). I decided to change driving school and i am sooooo glad i did. Kinetic were like a breath of fresh air, always on time, polite and understanding of my nervousness. I found my confidence soaring and i began looking forward to my lessons. I passed my theory and driving test first time and now have my much-needed independence.
Thank you Kinetic.
