Every year we have the great pleasure of helping people of all ages to become safe and confident drivers. The testimonials on this page are written by some of the large number of ‘pupils’ that graduated through our driving school and became motorists. We feel very honoured to have taken part in that process and to have met so many lovely people.

“Pauline and Malcolm are fantastic and very patient teachers. As well as teaching me to drive, Pauline and Malcolm also taught me to drive on the motorway, which I now feel confident enough to do on my own. I would highly recommend them.” Katherine Bunyan

“I have been learning with Malcolm and Pauline for nearly two years. I found it a real struggle to get through my test due to nerves and had to take it 7 times before passing. I am delighted to have finally passed my test and I couldn’t have done it without Malcolm and Pauline. It was hard to stay motivated but Malcolm and Pauline both encouraged me to keep at it and went the extra mile for me to ensure that I would get my licence! They have given me loads of confidence and are incredibly patient and down-to-earth. We always had a laugh and I got on with both of them brilliantly. They paid attention to the areas I needed to improve and worked hard to ensure that my driving skills were continuously improving and that I was gaining more confidence behind the wheel. Thanks for everything Pauline and Malcolm, I will keep in touch and will be doing my Pass Plus with you too! ” Emma Blunt

They gave me the chance to practice in a range of areas, learning the exam routes, testing round new areas and offering sound advice to help in my improvement as a driver. I have recommended them to friends and would do so again.” Matthew Gregory

“A big thank you to the wonderful Malcolm & Pauline for all their help with getting me on the road. I passed my test today, first time and with only 1 minor and can only say that it’s all because of them! They are super supportive and calm, providing helpful feedback to make even the most nervous of us feel at ease. Highly recommend to everyone.”

“Malcolm and Pauline are fantastic teachers. They have given me the confidence to learn to drive in my 40s, and gain this life skill which I previously thought beyond me. They have the knowledge and experience to explain all aspects of safe, confident driving. I looked forward to my lessons and felt I always came away with new or improved techniques and understanding. Their patient, friendly approach has let me progress at my speed and, amazingly, enabled me to pass my test in little over a year. Thank you so much for showing me how to enjoy being behind the wheel. You’re the best.” Matthew Macer-Wright

Littledean

“Pauline and Malcolm are very supportive teachers, if you are concerned about having driving lessons due to confidence this isn’t a issue with either of them. They teach you at all times with a calm tone and friendly approach, which is suitable for nervous drivers. I was very nervous with very little confidence when I started my driving but they have both built me up to become a safe and eager student wanting to be on the road. They will always be patient with your abilities and downfalls throughout. I highly recommend them both, if it wasn’t for their certain approach towards me I wouldn’t be a happy, safe driver today.” April Vanston

“When starting to learn to drive, I had heard such lovely things about Pauline and Malcolm’s driving school I felt like it would be only right for me to learn with them and although I only chose to have Pauline as my driving instructor many of my friends have Malcolm and Russell and they love it!
Having Pauline by my side throughout my lessons was an absolute gift, she put me at ease at all times and would never tell me off, she would just say how to put it better next time. She is truly one of the most endearing people I have every met and she helped me to PASS FIRST TIME, which was so exciting!!
I will always be extremely grateful for the most wonderful experience I have gained from learning to drive and for Pauline.” Terri-Jayne Wyatt

Whitecroft, Nr Lydney

“Pauline and Malcolm are by far the best driving instructors that you could ever hope to be taught by. My feeling is that they must have had nerves of steel, the courage of a lion and the patience of a saint in order to continually be willing to teach me how to drive and successfully pass my test! Thank you so much, Ella Merrikin” Danielle Merrikin
