Driving lessons Crawley

October, 2016

Raj was a helpful, friendly and patient instructor. His lessons were calm and clear, and progressed at a pace I was comfortable with. Whenever I was unable to have a lesson at a usual time he did his best to work around my work schedule to find another time, and was always willing to start the driving lesson at my place of work if need be. I feel confident behind the wheel of a car and am looking forward to getting my own, something I was worried wouldn't be the case when I started out. Nathan Smith. Crawley.

Raj is a very thorough driving instructor. He leaves no stone unturned in order to ensure that the student is the best driver s\he can be. He gives extremely clear instructions and one learns quickly. Even though this can be an arduous process it is very clear that the results pay off. Thanks, Nils. Crawley.

Absolutely brilliant I've had 2 other instructors in the past which don't even compare to Jim- not only is he such a friendly and kind man but he is extremely patient and an excellent teacher. My only regret is not going with him sooner! Couldn't have done it without him! I would recommend him to everyone! Imogen Bance. Brighton.

Terry was really patient when it came to teaching me, as well as teaching in a controlled manner, he kept the atmosphere light and cheery which made learning that much more enjoyable, driving became something fun rather than something to be terrified of! Highly recommend L Plates! Kai Eveleigh. Worthing.

Having John Mell as a driving instructor was great. He taught me thoroughly and was always truthful with me. He didn't rush me into doing my practical and he knew when I was ready this is why I passed first time. We had fun as well as being serious when we needed to be and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to drive in Redhill and Reigate. Couldn't have faulted him one bit and it's going to be wierd not having him next to me teaching me when I drive. Thank you very much. Emily Wood. Redhill.

Before I began driving with L Plates I had been learning on and off for 3 years, and was low in confidence and very anxious at the thought of driving lessons. When I began my lessons with Tina and in an automatic it changed my driving experience! I felt so much more confidence and like I could drive anywhere, Tina trusted that I could do it so she never got too involved and simply let me get on with it. I would seriously reccomend this service to anybody who gets stressed at the thought of driving, I now love it! I've now passed with just two minors, and can't wait to get on the roads! Thank you very much Tina, a lovely woman who is very good at her job. Amelia Clifford. Bexhill-on-sea.

I had my driving lessons with Raj for approximately a year and I could not have asked for a better experience. Raj not only taught me how to pass my driving test but also how to be a safe driver afterwards. During my lessons with Raj he always remained calm, explained exactly what I did wrong and got me to do it right the next time around. If I didn't understand how to do a manoeuvre or made a mistake Raj would take out his iPad and find different ways to explain it until I really understood it and could do it on my own!. He also made my confidence grow by pointing out my improvements and my strengths. I would definitely recommend Raj as a driving instructor for a great and safe experience. Thanks Raj. Malvina Gbondo. Crawley.

Terry Bardsley of L Plates Driving School is quite simply a brilliant driving instructor and I cannot praise him enough. His calm, patient manner along with great sense of humour made driving lessons so enjoyable and far less stressful than I ever thought they would be. Thanks Terry for all your help and support and as they say, I could never have done it without you. Lynsey Masters. Brighton.

I contacted L-PLates having looked through multiple positive reviews of the firm and its instructors online. Their prices were also very competitive for the Brighton market.  I was lucky enough to have Ray B. As my instructor. I have had some driving experience but not confident on the road. Immediately Ray assisted in putting me at ease behind the wheel giving me a lot of useful pointers and tips.  He was extremely patient and calm throughout and I think because of his experience and teaching style I passed considerably quicker than expected! Thanks again Ray! Tom Mahoney. Brighton.

I had my driving lessons with Ray, and I could not have asked for a better experience! I had a previous instructor before hand with a different driving school and switched to Ray at L Plates and it dramatically improved my skills in driving and I could definitely not have made a better decision. The lessons were always comfortable and I felt that I learnt at an incredible pace. Thank you so much to Ray at L Plates!! Learning how to drive was a brilliant experience with you!

John was a great instructor, did not rush through learning, everything was taught at a pace I was comfortable with. He has a great temperament and is very paitent when teaching.

My experience with this company and one of its instructors was one I won't forget as I have now gained my own licence. Although the it took me a year to drive I feel like my instructor (Frank MCLaren) was very very supportive throughout times when I was under stress. I experienced highs and lows with learning how to drive as I feel most individuals do but, Frank supported me and gave me the reassurance that I was heading in the right direction to gain my licence. This is why I rated the service very high. Money wise I personally found it reasonable as I was paying myself however I do feel paying in instalments would have been easier for example: £100 up front for a few lessons then knowing you were covered for the next few lessons. Overall the quality I thought was fantastic and am throughly glad I chose to learn and had the pleasure to learn with L plates and their instructor Frank.  Emily. Hailsham.

Colin is a fantastic instructor. He is very flexible with lesson times, and the location of starting and ending lessons. During the lessons he is very thorough (and patient!) and explains everything very clearly. He is fully aware of what will be tested and prepares you for every aspect of the test.

Driving instructors Brighton

July, 2016

I had a really brilliant experience with my driving instructor ray. I saw a huge amount of improvement in a short amount of time and my confidence was growing every lesson. Ray would go the extra mile for students, he would explain things in many ways instead of just explaining. He would sometimes even show you with a little toy car which really helped! He also explained things using his iPad where there were videos and imagery that also really helped. Ray obviously takes time to think about how everyone learns differently and how he can get through to every type of learner and give them the best teaching experience. Another thing that really helped me was how calm ray would be when I made mistakes. He would always just say leave it behind you and carry on your a good driver. Lastly what I found really helpful with l plates is the book we are given to help us keep track of our success. When ray would go through this with me it really helped me understand where I was with my driving and how long before I was ready to do a test. Ray would go through the book with me and show me what I had achieved so far. Overall I had a lovely experience and I would definitely reccomend Ray to anyone wanting driving lessons, in fact I've already given his number out twice!! Thankyou for helping me pass. Tallulah Chapman. Brighton

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lesson process. It took me around year all in all to pass. However, I feel my experience was extremely satisfying. My instructor Colin always had a calming influence over me and was never at all flustered by anything. His ability to direct you honestly and openly about where you were at really allowed me to concentrate on constantly improving. This made the lessons a lot more purposeful and as such increased my driving skills. Also the ability to interact and have humorous conversations along the way only enhanced the whole process. The car was often in pristine condition and regularly maintained. Jorge Ehren. Tunbridge Wells.

I've been learning with L-Plates for well over a year, on and off, and have found the experience very satisfying, smooth, honest and calm. I was an extremely nervous and agitated driver to begin with, but thanks to my instructor John, I became a confident and happy driver. John's patience, coolness, understanding and humour have made the learning process far less daunting and much more pleasurable. So thank you John, and thank you L-Plates! Michael McGroarty. Crawley

I really enjoyed my driving lessons with Frank. He was supportive and helpful from my first lesson up until the test. Every lesson I was learning something new and improving my skills on the road. Frank's car was always kept in pristine condition, and his great sense of humor made each lesson really enjoyable. Frank's advice and regular feedback helped me to achieve 0 faults on my test! I can't thank L Plates Driving School and Frank enough, for helping me become a safe and confident driver for life. Daniel Coram. Worthing

My instructor Frank has been incredible. From my very first lesson to the test he has been supportive and professional, making every lesson both informative and enjoyable. The L Plates Driving School provides Theory Test Pro access, which saw me achieve 100% in my Theory Test questions. Mock tests were a great feature of the lessons and Frank's firm but fair marking ensured I was confident when it came to the real test and I passed first time! Thank you Frank!

June, 2016

I had Colin as my driving instructor and I have had two previous people from different companies and Colin by far was the best! The first lesson I had he was just so reassuring and polite and was showing confidence within me and my driving! He understood that I wanted to do it as quickly as possible but he kept me level headed and explained where I need to get to before being able to take the test. His lessons got more and more challenging and was always good lessons because we were using the roads that will be on the test routes, when coming to a situation I haven't seen he would break it down step by step and explain slowly how to deal with the situation! I personally was involved in a bad car accident couple years ago and haven't had a lesson since until using Colin and immediately he understood why I was nervous and helped me get over my fear of driving! I would certainly recommend him and this company to everyone I know wanting to learn to drive! Was a pleasure to be taught by such an amazing teacher! Thank you!! Matthew Harden. Tunbridge.

I had a great experience with L Plates Driving School, I found their website easy to use in terms of finding prices and instructors in my area. My instructor Sue got in touch with me quickly, and immediately put me at ease over the phone and I knew instantly that I would do well with her. She is friendly and extremely calming and patient and great at explaining things in a way that is easy to absorb. She is great at reading you and your ability, knowing when to support and encourage and when to push you harder. She had every confidence in me which helped me to be confident in myself. She knew when I was ready to pass my test (I wasn't quite so sure), but then I passed first time with one minor, so she was right! I could not have done it without her and I could not recommend Sue and L Plates Driving School enough! Hana Munroe. Brighton.

I loved every minute of learning to drive with my instructor Frank. He taught me everything I needed to know for my test and more and he had an extremely calm and considerate approach to everything. 
His car was always immaculate and well maintained and he always helped me with any problems I had. 
Frank always managed to get me a lesson when I wanted one and gave me priority over others when it came to around my test date that defiantly helped me out. 
Frank and I were always on the same page and he never rushed me or made me not progress enough. He was also firm but fair when he came to his marking on the mock tests - something that I am extremely grateful for!
I was recommended to use Frank and L Plates via my sister and I am so glad that I did. After only 20 minutes from contacting the school, I already had my first lesson booked!
Overall it was an absolute pleasure having Frank teach me and I have and still will recommend Frank and L Plates to anyone mentioning that they are looking for a driving instructor and I am looking forward to completing my Pass Plus with him! Harvey Cranford. Worthing.

Passing my driving test has been a long and trying affair. I started having lessons at 22 however put them on hold to go to medical school. Following graduation I had a series of lessons in London before moving to Brighton, at which time I started getting lessons with Ray Brewster of L plates driving school. I found Ray to be a patient, thorough, and easy going instructor who was a pleasure to work with. He gave me plenty of confidence and ensured that I was not only ready for my test, but capable of driving confidently on my own after passing. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. I also found the L plates driving booklet to be detailed and a valuable resource. 10/10. Anthony McNamara. Brighton.

I was taught by Colin and took my test in Tunbridge Wells. He was the best instructor I could have asked for. I was terrified at first, but he quickly helped me gain confidence and was a very calming influence. He never raised his voice when I did something wrong which is exactly what you need, and always reinforced the fact that mistakes were normal in order to learn and progress. Collin was always willing to answer any questions I had about driving, the test procedures, insurance or potential first cars too. As as naturally nervous person, I never thought I could be taught to be a confident driver, but that's exactly what Colin has helped me be! I would recommend him, and L Plates, to any learner.  Thanks for everything! Rebecca Day. Tunbridge Wells.

Giles is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional and his instructions and driving tips are excellent, easy to understand and implement.

I cannot rate my experience with L Plates Driving School highly enough, this is all down to the fantastic tutelage of Colin Dawes. I have just passed my test on the first attempt due to his calm and structured teaching methods. 
As well as helping me to pass the test, he has also ensured that I am ready to go out on the roads as a responsible driver and has passed on his wisdom and tips to help me through the many years of driving I have ahead. You get the feeling that he really cares about his pupils and seemed as happy for me passing the test as I was myself. I will recommend Colin to anyone else looking to learn to drive.

I used to learn to drive years ago, in a different country, on the right side of the road, but never followed through. I chose L Plates as they have very good prices. I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out I had to start from basics. I was very lucky to be taught by John Mell. He explains everything in a calm and reassuring manner, never rushing things or expecting too much (or too little!). It was always clear to me what we were going to do and he always took my comments and doubts into account. I passed first time and, although I am very strict with myself and I did think of every way it could go wrong, with John's constant encouragement I knew I was able to do it. I could not wish for a better driving instructor and I am very happy to recommend him (and the school) to others. Iza Kowalska. Redhill.
