I would strongly recommend learning to drive with L-Plates and Frank Judah. I progressed at a good rate and always felt within my comfort zone. Frank always stayed calm even when I made mistakes. It was easy to plan lessons and the good part was having a lot of mocks before I took my test. This ensured that I was prepared for the test and passed first time! Tom Birch. Worthing.

My Driving experience with L Plates and Giles Blanch has been a fantastic experience as I now feel very confidant and comfortable driving on the roads. The way they have taught me has helped me so much to remember everything to its simplest form and what to do safely in different situations on the road. After learning to drive for almost a year and half with previous instructors this achievement has only been made possible through learning with Giles and L Plates as they are a great school to learn with and very easy going I would highly recommend going to learn to drive with L Plates.

A consistently calm coach and overall nice guy! Colin Dawes is a fantastic instructor and I would recommend him to anyone. Colin regardless of the circumstances made you feel immediately at ease and was great at diverting stress away from the lessons. By the end of first lesson Colin had designed a comprehensive, tailoured plan of action that was personally suited to my needs approaching my practical. Colin was also very understanding when it came to rearranging lesson and test dates and you really get the impression he bends over backwards for all of his pupils. A top instructor, and a top bloke!

I loved learning to drive with Giles Blanch. I would 100% recommend him as I felt that his teaching methods were very simple and I managed to pick up techniques quicker than before. He never lost his calm temperament and had a very optimistic and positive attitude in my driving abilities. He would instantly flag up areas of concern and look to rectify those, which showed his attentiveness to my driving. I was impressed at how easily he helped me understand how to do particular manoeuvres. He always had good advice. which if followed correctly, would always allow me to carry out any instruction successfully and with ease. He was always very clear in his communication and I always felt confident in what I needed to do. I would definitely recommend Giles. Poppy Unsworth. Crawley.

This was my third time learning to drive. Previously I had become bored or didn't get on with my instructors. L Plates however is another league. I have enjoyed every lesson! I passed my test in a month with Frank McLaren as my instructor who always left me brimming with confidence when he dropped me off. With 14 hours of lessons I managed to pass first time with only 4 minor faults - Thanks to L Plates and especially my instructor Frank McLaren. Joe Grange. Bexhill.

Frank Judah was an amazing teacher. I was one who was initially afraid of turning corners, but by the end, I was able to confidently pass my test! He was a very patient teacher - able to push me out of my comfort zone, but not go over the edge. He always had a witty joke to calm my nerves, and useful information to aid my knowledge. Of course I would recommend him, and the L-plates school, to any of my friends, and I look forward to doing the pass plus with him. George Markey. Angmering.

I just want to say a massive thank you to Frank Judah for helping me recently pass my driving test at the first attempt. As someone who took his first series of driving lessons 15 years ago and tried again 10 years later I was really starting to doubt whether I'd ever be able to do it. A friend of mine had recently started to learn with Frank and he gave such a good recommendation to me that I thought I'd give it one more go. Franks style of teaching really suited me, he would always encourage me to progress when I was ready to and would ask what I would want to do during any particular lesson, Frank also showed great patience with my incessant questions!! I found the progress charts within the L-Plates booklet very useful as well as it really helps you track your progress from lesson to lesson. When the big day came the nerves had really gotten hold of me, Frank helped calm me down and provided all the encouragement I needed. Following the test I was over the moon when the examiner told me the good news, to come away with no faults as well was just the icing on the cake. Thanks again Frank and I'll see you soon for the pass plus. Andy Hemsley. Worthing.

Learning with L-Plates enabled me to learn quickly and to the best of my ability. John Leeming as an instructor is excellent to work with. He is patient and allows you as the learner to keep going until you are driving both efficiently and safely and so you can complete a manoeuvre perfectly. He always listened to me first; asking before every lesson what I wanted to focus on. Overall he gave me the confidence to sit behind the wheel and drive confidently in different situations. He is a lovely guy to know and have a chat with and I can't thank him and his little KA enough for the past few months. Thank you John, hope for much more success with you and future learners for years to come. Liam Richner. Heathfield.

From the very first lesson, my instructor John Mell was professional, but friendly. Ensuring that I could always ask questions. He was always patient, especially when I asked the same things twice! 
John was fantastic at making me feel confident to move onto the next part of my learning, but never rushed me, ensuring we spent enough time on each part, but also encouraging me to move forward and improve my knowledge and road experience. 
After my first lesson I felt at ease, and I was sure John was the right instructor to help me pass. I would throughly recommend him, as after 2 other driving instructors, I should know!
John - Many thanks again, I looked forward to our lessons, and I'm sure future students will too. Chris Colman. Redhill.

I would like to say a big thank you to my driving instructor Frank Judah after passing my test today. I would highly recommend him to any learner drivers, especially for those lacking in confidence he is brilliant at helping you to build it up. I felt like Frank was not just teaching me to simply get through my driving test, but also to develop the skills and knowledge I needed for a lifetime of safe driving which is so important for a time when the road is potentially such a dangerous place to be, especially for inexperienced drivers. Frank is very friendly and approachable and I never felt hesitant to ask what I thought were silly questions! Thank you very much Frank. Jennifer Bacchus. Worthing.

Colin Dawes was such a great instructor. Having already had quite a bit practise, he gave me the opportunity to drive freely while giving me clear instructions of how to do manoeuvres and giving me great help leading up to the exam and practical. I couldn't be happier with his positive attitude to driving which helped me relax and ultimately allowed me to feel completely comfortable behind the wheel!
I also found it hugely helpful having the free theory website to revise from before the test!
Thank you Colin! Phoebe. Forest Row.

One of the first things I said to Giles was "I have to pass my test by September." That gave him about two months to get me up to standard. Having driven before wasn't much help to him as, after a two year break between lessons, I sat in the car on our first lesson and stared blankly at him.
Giles rose to the challenge wonderfully. It takes some patience to deal with a frustrated me! He knew exactly what I needed and adapted his teaching method to suit me perfectly. His easy humour and friendly, relaxed demeanour made me feel completely comfortable in my lessons with him. Despite my insistent reservations, I passed my test under his tutelage. With just 20 hours, he succeeded where a previous year of lessons had failed. It was a delight to have Giles as my instructor and I highly recommend him as a teacher to even the most dubious of drivers. Eloisa Lillywhite. Crawley

Raj Purba is a great driving instructor. He is calm, patient and full of support and encouragement. He makes driving enjoyable, by getting to know the individual pupil and having great banter with them throughout their lessons. He is very flexible with the times and is very reliable. Raj always turned a negative thing into a positive comment. Raj gave me the confidence and belief in my own driving ability. I would recommend Raj to anyone who is looking for a calm and supportive driving instructor. Thanks Raj, I have really enjoyed learning to drive with you and I am looking forward to completing my Pass Plus with you. Mhairi. Redhill.

Giles Blanch was an excellent driving instructor who taught me efficiently and helped me pass my test first time. He was always punctual and on time for my lessons and when on the odd occasion when he was delayed he would ring me to inform me. He was also reasonable with payment terms, giving me plenty of time to come up with the money I owed. Giles taught in an easy to understand manner which helped me to pick up the feel of driver much quicker than I thought. Overall I would highly recommend Giles and would like to thank him for teaching me to drive. Elliot. Burgess Hill.

I would like to hugely thank Frank for being such an excellent driving instructor! I heard about Frank Judah and L Plates driving school through recommendation from a friend, and I have and will continue to also recommend Frank to as many friends as possible, as he was superb. I really appreciated his calm and enjoyable approach, whilst also explaining knowledge and instructions in a very clear and concise manner. If I ever had any questions or queries, he was very quick to answer them precisely and would go over it as many times as possible, in order to make to me feel secure in what I was doing. Frank was very truthful and advisable on my development, therefore when he said he felt that I was ready to take my test I knew this was an accurate and truthful opinion. His knowledge and confidence in my driving gave me great reassurances and confidence, which led me to feel very relaxed and secure during my test which helped me greatly. Thanks once again, Faye Ralph. Sompting.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Frank Judah for being my driving instructor over the past 7 months. Learning to drive with L Plates Driving School has been an incredibly enjoyable and satisfying experience! Starting to drive was quite a daunting and nerve racking prospect for me, but as soon as I got in the car on my first lesson, Frank made me feel relaxed and welcome, and as the weeks went on, I really started to look forward to my driving lessons. Frank was very patient with me, making sure I went over things enough until I was happy and confident enough to do them on my own. He helped me progress steadily, not pushing me into anything I didn't feel comfortable with but encouraged me to move on when he thought I was ready! He often asked for my opinion about how I was driving instead of just telling me what I was doing eight and wrong which made me think deeper into how I was driving and feel it has made me a far safer driver as a result of it. Now that I have passed I am definitely considering taking the Pass Plus scheme with Frank to broaden my driving experience. I would definitely recommend Frank as a diving instructor, whether you want to pass quickly, or take your time over learning, as he is patient and will move at the pace you wish to set. I was also very impressed by his flexibility when it came to the timing of my lessons, as I often had to change times or cancel. He was always perfectly happy to change times to fit my schedule which made booking driving lessons far less stressful! Again, a big thankyou to Frank for the past few months, its been great fun and an incredibly satisfying experience. Bethany Close. Worthing.

I started my driving lessons in June 2012 with Mark Napier. I started off as a very nervous pupil but in to time Mark had me feeling at ease and with this, my confidence grew and grew. Mark is an extremely patient instructor and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Not only is Mark a fantastic instructor, he is a great guy too and found I got on with him very well. I actually miss my lessons now I have passed and in the near future, I will be calling Mark to teach me how to drive a manual! It took just 9 months for Mark to teach me how to drive, and passing my test was an amazing feeling! So would just like to thank Mark for being such a brilliant instructor and helping me pass my test. Couldn't of done it without him! Stevie-Leigh Conrad. Guestling.
