Driving instructors Hastings

10th June, 2013

When I began driving I didnt find it as natural as I first thought I would, having being in a number of car crashes in the past I soon found myself hitting a bit of a mental block and wanting to give up altogether. Gareth was supportive and caring and helped me to overcome these obstacles, his patience is a real testiment to his charecter! He never once made me feel slow or put me down, he is a fantastic instructor and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone and everyone! I have always found the L Plates Company to be very professional and polite! So thank you to everyone and thankyou especially to Gareth! Georgina Packer. Hastings.

I would like to say big thanks to my instructor John Mell for his patience, dedication and hard work. He is punctual, well behaved, soft in answering any question or doubt. At the same time I found him always alert on board. I witnessed his super skills in saving our car in dangerous situations. He never aimed at passing tests but rather stressed on learning safe driving, which is an ultimate requirement of driving lessons. I can say he has kept 'L-Plates Driving School's' standards at a very high position. Rajeev Kumar. Crawley.

I passed my test a fortnight ago in Burgess Hill, after taking lessons with Penny as a reluctant and nervous mature learner. She was patient, calm and professional and gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test. She kept a sense of humour and lovely manner throughout and kept me focused and motivated to succeed.

I was recommended to John by my dad who knew John previously. I had been learning to drive with someone else and was getting nowhere at great cost! On my first introductory lesson I immediately felt at ease with John’s teaching style and knew immediately I had made the right decision to change instructors. Patience, dedication and kindness are John’s attributes and after a series of lessons he told me I was ready for my test. 
I passed first time and was over the moon. John, you are a brilliant instructor and I am going to recommend you and L-Plates to all my friends who want to drive. Thank you for giving me such an important life skill. Kim Tozer. Horley.

Thanks for all your help L Plates. One of my friends recommended Colin to me, and it's not hard to understand why. He's a really friendly instructor, really puts you at ease with the stressful task of getting on the road. He makes everything clear and really knows what he's talking about. With his help I managed to pass first time with only two faults! I would firmly recommend Colin to anyone in need of passing their driving test. Thanks again, Sebastien. Tunbridge Wells.

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.

Thank you very much!
I took my driving test on 8/4/13 at Worthing with my instructor Frank .My driving experience was everything and more than I expected. Knowing very little about how to drive and a car in general I was a real novice! But Frank is an amazing instructor and helped me so much throughout the six months I was with him. He would push me to do the very best I could and was always more than happy to help with any problems I had. He was also efficient when coming for lessons and would always squeeze in lessons that he could for me in order for me to pass my test. I would like to say a massive thank you to Frank because without him I feel that I would not have the confidence and the driving experience that I have had. I would also recommend him to anyone in the local area, I will miss my Tuesday lesson slot!
Kind Regards, Steph Atkinson, Worthing

After having several instructors with various (and not always helpful) teaching methods Ray managed to get me back on track so I could not only pass my test but also become a confident driver. His patience, dedication and friendly manner will be missed, but I am hugely grateful for all he has done. Again thank you, Becca Meade. Eastbourne.

To be honest, Raj Purba's style of instruction aims at making your pupil remain a good driver for life. During the course of training, I found Raj always reporting on time, patient, and polite with a good sense of humour which removes unnecessary stress from the exercise. He has a good personality-remaining focused on the job, teaching the right things and encouraging the learner. I strongly recommend Raj to persons wishing to learn to drive. Keep it up.

A big thank you to Ray Brewster who helped me pass my driving test at my 1st attempt. I first started to learn to drive over 20 years ago but after being involved in a serious car accident i decided driving was not for me, but then after years of thinking should i learn to drive a mutual friend introduced me to Ray who said that he would be more than happy to help me. During my first couple of lessons i was very nervous but Ray was very calm and reassuring and explained everything well and let me learn at a pace that i was happy with and it wasn't long before i was enjoying my lessons and looking forward to attempting my test. Ray is excellent at his job and very friendly and easy to get on with and i shall miss our regular sunday morning lessons but now i have passed it has given me a new lease of life and i would highly recommend Ray to anyone who wants to learn , once again big thank you to Ray.

Penny is a knowledgable, calm and very patient instructor! She quickly taught me not just how to pass my test but how to be a safe, responsible and happy driver while correcting the bad habits my previous instructor had taught me. Not only that but she is very easy to get along with - which is really important when learning one-to-one. What more could you ask for?! I actually looked forward to every lesson with her, and would happily recommend her to anyone, regardless of age or skill level. Thanks Penny! Rob Mavers. Brighton.

Frank has a very relaxed and friendly approach to his students. His calmness and never ending patience is perfect for nervous drivers. I was very nervous when I started learning to drive… but not anymore!
Frank swiftly instilled confidence in me, and as an older student, I quickly realized that it is never too late to learn.
I am now enjoying participating in my Pass Plus course, and continuing to enjoy the thorough and clear explanations and practical guidance that Frank gives, as different and sometimes challenging driving situations arise. Michael Wilkins. Worthing.

After a steady stream of lessons I passed my test first time with Raj. Raj taught me that driving isn’t a scary battle to get from A to B ASAP, but an effective and enjoyable way if done safely and properly. I have learnt that being alert and patient is key. Raj has been a very friendly and approachable instructor since day 1, and has treated every mistake with great understanding and patience leading to my success. You would expect that as somebody ages they would be less and less enthusiastic, less cool and less of a great person to be with – NOT WITH RAJ. If you are looking to pass that test first time in the coolest and most enjoyable way – go with Raj Purba. Mustafa Selcuk.Horsham.

After a very long time and 2 different driving instructors, I finally passed my test! After failing 2 times I was convinced it just wasn't meant to be, but my instructor John Leeming always believed in me and told me how much I deserved it. He was lovely to learn with and really laid back. He never pushed you, just let you go at your own pace and made you feel safe and comfortable. Thank you John for being so patient with me and getting me through my test, finally! Thanks L Plates! Will definitely be recommending you and John! Megan Holman. Heathfield.

After two long years of driving lessons with two driving instructors I finally passed my driving test with Frank Judah from L Plates. Frank was a much more professional driving instructor than my first one had been and cared about my progress unlike the first guy. My confidence and general driving improved a lot within those six months I had lessons with Frank. He taught me the importance of taking things slow and correcting things as much as possible. I passed my driving test with Frank the first time, whereas before that I'd had two unsuccessful attempts at the test. I am so pleased I have now got my full licence and a lot of this is down to Frank. I've also recommended my boyfriend to start lessons with him and he should be starting in a few weeks time. Thank you Frank, I look forward to starting my Pass Plus with you soon. Charlotte Hardy. Worthing.

I am writing this email to give feedback about Frank Judah who acted as my driving instructor. He is a fantastic instructor. Even when you make the smallest or biggest of mistakes, he puts you at ease by saying how great you're doing. He makes you feel relaxed throughout the whole of the lesson meaning I was completely focused on what I was doing. He also suggested the best resources to revise from for the theory and practical driving test. From the lessons that I had from him, I would definitely book lessons with him again for PassPlus and recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you. Maria Cranfield. Worthing.

I am absolutely thrilled and over the moon to have FINALLY passed my driving test!!! At 28 deciding to dedicate my limited time to learning to drive in order to replace the treacherous daily commute was very daunting and felt like a huge and expensive hurdle to overcome…….however Ray Brewster made everything possible !!!!
Ray was recommended to me by a colleague as she had just started to learn to drive and was instantly enthusiastic at the prospect of learning to drive and highly recommended him. Right from the start he made me feel at ease and supported, he took the time to get to know me as an individual and tailored my driving lessons around me and catered them to my individual needs. I can’t thank Ray enough for his tremendous support, patience and commitment that he showed me whilst being under his guidance.
It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know Ray and listening to his wonderful stories, in a way I am quite sad not to be spending driving time with him anymore as he was always such a cheery and laid back guy with many interesting stories. I definitely don’t think that I would not have passed at all or any time in the near future if it wasn’t for Ray’s positive attitude and absolute dedication to my cause. If you would like to learn to drive but are looking for the right person you have found him- laid back, committed and most importantly HONEST. 
Thank you Ray, I look forward to my pleasant drive to work and saving a small fortune (on train faires) every day. Lauren Staley

It's been a great few months learning with Jared Light. We have driven no matter the conditions and he has really helped develop me into a lifetime driver, not just to get through test. Jared worked with me to really improve driving confidence and straight from the start he worked on my strengths, helping me to progress loads each lesson. My only regret is actually passing, as it means no more great hours in the car. Great value for money lessons and with such a great instructor, worth EVERY penny.
Jared, thank you for everything you have done for me and I hope to see you in the near future. You are a great asset to L Plates and I have loved every second driving with you. At least you no longer have to fight my awful road and cake your car in mud any more! Couldn't recommend you enough to everyone I know. Thanks, Hugh Angear. Heathfield.

I'm elated, having just passed, and have only Jim to thank! 
Jim was an awesome instructor. Very popular among my classmates and was recommended by close friends after I overheard them talking about their lessons. Very patient at the beginning, with very helpful advice due to his vast experience too. He guided me very well, insuring I was well-informed at every stage of the learning process, right up to waiting in the driving test center with me, calming me down with last minute confidence-boosters! I was very keen to pass first time, with A-levels coming up in January. Every minute spent driving with Jim paid dividends, as i was able to pass first time with only 2 minors, well before my Christmas holidays.
During my driving test, every other road seemed to have a story behind it thanks to Jim, and as a result I didn't make the same mistakes as those in the past. Despite not knowing Burgess Hill beforehand, Jim showed me all the tricky spots, as well as how people had managed to pick up minors before.
I have recommended him to many a friend and have just got off the phone with my sister, whom I'm pleased to say, will be having lessons with Jim this summer. Overall: a very kind man, with huge amounts of experience and most importantly very, very patient! Thanks again Jim, Michael Needham. Hove.

I passed my test on Friday 30th of November after having just 6 lessons with John Mell, admittedly I had previous lessons but that was about 6 years ago. John eased me back into driving really well, and I felt comfortable driving with him, (I previously had female instructors) so this was key. But I am so pleased that John took me for my lessons! He made me feel like I could pass my test even after a few lessons. John was really supportive of me through my theory as well as my practical. John completely changed how I do the reverse park, which made it so much easier for me :-) I would definately recommend L Plates especially John as he managed to work around my work hours which was just as important as his ability to teach! Thankyou :-) Chloe Winterbottom. Redhill.

L Plates were magnificent for me!!
Without ever getting into a car before, my first driving lesson was a real scare for me, but John Mell was helpful and started off slow with me. He taught me everything I needed for my test and was so influential to me getting only 2 minors. When I would make a mistake John would talk me through what happened, and talk to me about how we could improve that part of my driving. 
I want to give a big thanks to L Plates and especially to John for getting me my license. I would advise anyone to choose L Plates in the future! 
Thank you L Plates. Ashley Maynard. Redhill.

I had a very pleasent learning experience with L Plates and my instructor Colin was very friendly from start to finish. I was always made to feel very relaxed and comfortable as I got used to being behind the wheel. Colin always explained areas of driving and the car in great detail with a great deal of patience. I always knew how I was performing as I would always receive feedback on my lessons and criticisms were always constructive and made into a positive by Colin telling me how I can improve and making me feel better about the whole thing so I always understood my mistakes and how to correct them. He never failed to make conversation and let me learn at my own speed. The overall experience with L Plates was great and the prices are very reasonable compared to other companies. I passed my second test and felt quite relaxed as the whole procedure was explained to my by Colin many times. 
Thank you for a good learning experience. Sean Piper. Pembury.

First of all I would like to say a big thank you to my instructor Frank Judah, and L Plates Driving School for helping me to pass my test first time with only 4 minor driving faults!
I would highly recommend Frank to everyone looking for a driving instructor.
His calm, friendly and expert teaching style allows you learn at your own pace – ideal for any first time drivers. Having also helped my brother to pass his test first time a few years ago, I went to Frank Judah straight away and wasn’t disappointed!
The L Plates experience thoroughly trains you in what to expect from driving a car – from turns in the road to tyre pressures - whilst instilling in you a sense of self-belief and confidence as you learn to drive and ultimately pass your test.
If you’re reading this and want to become a skilled driver, don’t hesitate: choose Frank Judah, choose L Plates Driving School.
P.S: Frank, I look forward to seeing you on the Pass plus course in the future.

My experience with L-Plates driving school is one I will definitely treasure for a long time. Thanks to Mark Napier, my instructor who made this possible. I have used 2 different instructors before I met Mark. The difference was clear right from the time I took my first drive out with him. He is very soft spoken, very warm hearted, always punctual. He has a very simple and easy way of explaining various road situations as they arise. Very patient when explaining road situations (even if he has to do it several times). 
I guess his aim as he instructs , is not just to prepare you to pass the test, but to equip you with a life time driving tips which will ensure you leave to arrive safe. 
Mark, I am writing this testimonial in appreciation. You are simply a professional in your field. Thanks a lot. Cynthia. Hastings
