Gemma passed after my 45 hour semi-intensive course.
First time pass... with a first class instructor
I recommend Darren to everyone.
Such a relaxed atmosphere and fantastic teaching methods. I found darren after previously having a not so good instructor so was apprehensive and very nervous. Darren soon turned that around and made me feel at ease. I've thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Darren and I will be recommending him to friends and family without a doubt. I passed first time today and was very confident. Thanks darren. You are a star x ,Strongly recommend Darren to anyone who wants to learn to drive automatic quickly and safely!

Darren is the best!!
Lauren passed at Tolworth Test centre after taking my semi intensive course.
Darren is the best!!
Passed after a 2 week crash course with Darren first time! Having let years pass without any lessons Darren really helped to build my confidence and I learnt to actually enjoy driving! He is by far the best driving instructor I have ever had and when I booked too many lessons which he felt I didn't need he refunded me the money I had paid upfront. I would and have already recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you for being patient and having a sense of humour to get me on the road.

Learn from Darren if you want to pass your driving test!
Angie passed 1st time pass at Isleworth test centre after taking my 25 hour intensive course.
"Learn from Darren if you want to pass your driving test! Having failed twice in my previous driving test with another instructor, you can imagine how stressful it is going to be driving on the road and and going for the 3rd test.
The first time I met Darren I was told to cancel my test which was happening in 3 days time and to rebook one. I wasn't happy but I respect the decision that I wasn't ready. So I went on an intensive course with him over three weekends before my 3rd test and passed with four minors!
Thanks Darren, for your patience, your sense of humour and "recipes" on how to be a safe driver on the road. I would strongly recommended Automatic Driving to anyone who wants to pass the practical test with confidence.

"Amazing driving instructor. I would reccomend Darren to anyone and everyone who wants to pass their driving test!! I have been trying to take my test for four years now and after a week with Darren I had the confidence and the skills to pass my test with only 6 minors and even the tester said that was down to nerves!
Thank you so much Darren!!

I loved having Darren as an instructor
Sim passed 1st time after taking my 20 hour Intensive Course
"I loved having Darren as an instructor, he was very good at explaining everything clearly and did it through driving rather than diagrams and pictures. He let me drive for the whole time each lesson which meant that each lesson was worth my while! Passed first time with only two minors and I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without Darren! Thanks again, would definitely recommend to anyone in the Ashford area.

Excellent Driving Instructor
Mustafa passed with just 4 minors!
"Excellent Driving Instructor but also an Amazing Coach. I think if Darren can help me pass my driving test successfully he can help any one.
As some one who had suffered severe anxiety when it came to driving, it was very reassuring to have an instructor like Darren who had the patience and most importantly understanding of anxiety that I experienced .
I think he is more than just a skilled driving instructor as he is also an exceptional coach who is personally invested in his students success and trains them not just with the skills needed to drive but also helps with the confidence and mindset to drive confidently and pass the exam , which some times is crucial for learners like me suffering from driving anxiety . For me the belief that I can never drive or pass driving test was a self fulfilling prophecy for many years , which Darren successfully helped me over come with a successful pass. Thank You Darren!
Mustafa

Niha passed 1st time yesterday with only 4 minor faults.
Thanks for the great Yell review and thanks for taking my 40 hour intensive course.
"First time pass!!!
Darren provided me with the skills and knowledge to pass my practical test first time with confidence. His sound knowledge of the test areas and what the driving examiners are looking for gave me the best chance of passing. He is very thorough and from experience he knows all the places where people can get caught out and helps you avoid making any costly errors. His strict but friendly approach prevented me from picking up any bad habits and made the experience enjoyable. If you want to pass and be an excellent driver I Highly recommend him!

Sam
Friendly ; calm and professionl instructor
I have been doing my lessons for a couple of months now, and i have my test booked in 2 weeks. I was very anxious about driving when i started, but Darren has been amazing and has helped me build my confidence on the road. His teaching methods are great, He is always friendly an calm and remains professional throughout my lessons. I highly recommend him to any one wishing to learn automatic.

Darren has the patience of a saint
Sarah passed at Isleworth test centre with just 2 minors.
The instructor who never gave up.
Hi! I had 2 crash courses, one I started In March and didn't pass and one in October - altogether about 50 hours which I didn't need if I focused enough. The second time around with Darren I did 20 hours and I'm not the best with remembering stuff, I tend to over think stuff and complicated everything! Darren has the patience of a saint and will show you simplicity beyond comprehension...... He been makes it fun with his little people models and road markings! I think other driving instructors would of killed me but he didn't give up and sometimes treated everyday like a new day. If you're scared Darren will make you feel at ease and comfortable and that's the key thing, formality fails when you have nerves, please book with Darren and you will feel at home when driving. Thanks for putting up with me!! By the way I passed with 2 minors :-) Sarah x

"Passed 2nd time. I have just passed my test 2nd time round as not a very confident driver. But Darren made me feel comfortable and at ease. Was very nervous the 1st time but new what was to b expected the second time round and only two minors.

Alice passed 1st time after taking my 25 hour semi-intensive course.
1st Time Pass. I have just passed my driving test first time with Darren in under 27 hours. He was a brilliant instructor and made one feel at ease in the car immediately. His schedule fit easily around my busy school timetable and I am immensely grateful to him for all his help and support throughout my learning. His great humour and positive attitude really made being behind the wheel a breeze. I now look forward to many happy driving experiences thanks to him!
Alice
1st time pass, amazing teacher!
Hayley passed 1st time after taking my 45 hour intensive course.
1st time pass, amazing teacher! I have just passed my test 1st time, I had no previous driving experience, was extremely nervous and am 6 months pregnant so was really unsure how I would do but Darren had me driving on a main road within 45 minutes of my first lesson. I had 45 hours over 2 weeks and he organised a mock test with another examiner which was included in the course price nearer to my actual test which was brilliant as it made me less nervous in my actual test . Darren was so patient and supportive even when I was asking stupid questions, he really is a lovely genuine funny guy and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Hayley.
Great instructor
Michael passed 1st time after taking my 25 hour intensive course.
"1st time Pass
I've just passed my driving test first time with Darren, after only two weeks. We fitted the 25 hours in to a two week period and this was incredibly helpful. The way he was able to respond to my needs and focus on specific elements was great for building my confidence. I hated driving before working with Darren and really was not looking forward to the course.
The way he was able to help me build my understanding of putting the theory of driving in to practice was incredibly helpful, I felt at ease from our first session and I'd thoroughly recommend him to others.
Thank you so much. This will be life changing for my family. I really hated driving before last week too. This has made the world of difference.
Michael
Thank you Darren
It is true. PASSED first time 4 minors. He helped a lot on getting my confidence on the road and was relaxed during test. Lots of good advices for the future when I would be driving on my own. He went beyond his schedule just to make sure I would well prepared for the test. Thank you.
Mrs C

Mark passed with zero faults after my 15 hour intensive course.
1st attempt!! 100% Pass!! it doesn't get better than that!!!
Did the intensive driving course with Darren and got 100% pass with no fails..... He's an excellent instructor, had a great time learning road craft with him. He arranged his course to my busy work schedule, rearranging lessons at the last minute when I messed up my plans. Couldn't have been more helpful. Had a great fun time.... he knows his stuff.... the lessons flew by. He also put me through a mock test with another instructor just a bit sad its ended now.
highly recommend and 1st class instruction.
Mark
Fantastic instructor
Darren Austin is a fantastic instructor. He is so patient and calm and put me at ease from the very first lesson. I was so anxious about driving but Darren gave me the confidence I needed. Today I passed my test 1st time with only 1 minor. I would recommend him to anyone but particularly those who are nervous! Thank you Darren
Emma
Calm, patient instructor
Alan passed 1st time at Ashford test centre. after taking my 25 hour intensive course.
Passed 1st time with only 3 minor faults
I got in touch with Darren after having gone through a stream of other driving schools and instructors coupled with my usual half-hearted attempt to learn to drive. This might have been the typical one hour lesson each week on a saturday morning or my own lack of self-confidence. I took the 25 hour intensive course with Darren which I now regret not having done earlier. At 48, I was getting to the stage where I was just going to resign myself to simply 'not knowing how to drive'. Not sure how he does it but he has this ability to keep his cool even when you manage to make a complete hash of a manoeuvre. I thoroughly recommend Darren's intensive courses to any person who wishes to drive. Darren is a calm, patient and thoughtful instructor and would put any nervous student at ease. Word of advice, forget all that you have been instructed upon before. Start your course with Darren with a fresh open mind and you will soon have that certificate in your hand!
Alan
I'm over the moon
Jodi passed after taking my 35 hour intensive course.
Pass first time. I passed my test first time with zero faults. Which I'm over the moon with. I was really nervous before I started my lessons with Darren after being involved in a very bad motor accident. He made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. I would definitely recommend.
Jodi
Fantastic and extremely patient instructor
Oksanna passed with just 3 minors.
Fantastic and extremely patient instructor.
I've been trying to get driving license for over 10 years, I've had a few different instructors however every time something was making me gave up the dream of having a driving license.
However when I met Darren for the first time for my trial lesson I knew this time I will be most definitely getting my license and I was so right. Darren is great instructor, easy to get along with, super patient and makes you believe in yourself. I have passed my practical test and so greatful to Darren for everything he's done to getting me to a pass with just 3 minors!!
If you looking for an instructor, don't look any further.....
Thank you .... Thank you!!!!
You've been great and managed to get me to a pass!!! Thank you so much again Darren, it's been a pleasure!!
Oksanna
Very patient and encouraging instructor
Passed 1st time
Darren is a very patient and encouraging instructor. As a very nervous driver, he helped me become a lot more confident and pass my test first time!
Emma
Darren is amazing
Nervous learner amazing instructor.Passed my driving test today after years of wanting to. Darren is amazing and made me feel so confident and safe in my driving. I would highly recommend him.
Mrs Simpkins
Lessons with Darren were really enjoyable
Darren has been truly a great instructor...He is very calm & reassuring which makes things much easier! Im an experienced driver but I was a bit nervous as I never drove in the UK before. It took a few lessons to overcome my stress & feel confident on driving..In short, the lessons with Darren were really enjoyable & I was able to get my UK driving lesson after just a few lessons! If you're a nervous driver, I honestly think Darren will be a great choice for you.
Burcu
Would highly recommend
“Currently doing my lessons with Darren after a 7 year gap from driving. I didn't have that much confidence to start after having a break from driving for so long. But after a few lessons my confidence is building back up and I'm enjoying it ten times more than the first time those 7 years ago. I believe that is all down to Darren. Darren is a great instructor who is both patient and understanding with a great sense of humour. Would highly recommend.
Amina
He is a perfect instructor for nervous drivers.
Katy passed 1st time after taking my Semi Intensive course.
I passed my test 1st time today with Darren. I was extremely nervous when I first started my lessons but Darren coached me through the nerves and made me realise that passing my test was possible. He is a perfect instructor for nervous drivers. Without his friendly manner, constant encouragement and perfect driving tips I wouldn't have passed. Thanks for everything Darren...you are highly recommended.
Katy
Great teacher!
Rachel passed 1st time!
EXTREMELY nervous driver, passed first time. I'd put off learning to drive for eight years because of my fear of taking the test, but my family finally got sick of giving me lifts and booked me a couple of lessons with Darren... and I'm so glad they did! I had tried to learn once before but after being a shouted at by the instructor I was completely put off. Darren was completely calm at all times, never shouted, never made me feel bad but picked me up on my mistakes in a way that I found constructive - which was great as I don't take criticism well! My nerves were so bad I considered quitting, but whenever I got in the car my nerves went away immediately and I slowly gained the confidence I needed to pass. I asked a LOT of questions which Darren was always happy to answer, and he shaped the later lessons around what I was worried about (e.g. lane changing, three-lane roundabouts). On the day of the test, everything I had learned clicked into place and I passed with only one minor! Thanks Darren for being a great teacher!
Rachel
I will definitely be recommending you to others
Rani Passed 1st time at Ashford test centre with only 4 minor faults.
I just passed my test first time with only four minors! From not being able to steer a car only three months ago, I would not have believed that Darren would manage to get me to test level so soon. He has a refreshing technique of teaching driving as a visual skill which puts the learner at ease. He is also very patient but has always pushed me to go out of my comfort zone in each lesson. The lessons have been good fun and he has a sense of humour which comes in handy when you're practising the same roundabout for the fifth time :-) Thanks again Darren. I will definitely be recommending you to others.
Rani
I whole heartedly recommend Darren
Judith passed first time!
Highly recommended. I whole heartedly recommend Darren as a driving instructor. He found the right balance between letting me gain confidence by repetition and teaching new scenarios and manoeuvres. I passed my test first time with only 2 minors yesterday. He’s great at the banter in the car keeping a relaxed atmosphere while getting through what needs to be covered, and is highly knowledgeable in what is needed to become confident, stay safe and to pass the test. Just be sure to watch the line, not the kerb!
Thanks Darren – I’ll be out in the tank of a car tomorrow. Best wishes, Judith.
Judith
Great Instructor
Albert 1st time at Chertsey test centre with only 3 minor faults.
Great Instructor
I passed first time, thanks to Darren. He is an excellent instructor, I truly enjoyed my lessons with him and would recommend him to anyone.
Albert
Professional and reassuring instructor
I PASSED with 1 minor!!! All thanks to Darren!
Before learning with Darren, I had a very bad experience with a previous instructor. So I decided to move and found Darren's details. Best decision I made!
Since learning with Darren, I gained so much more knowledge and experience Darren is a very calm; professional and reassuring instructor ith him. He was extremely patient with me and gave me all the information and guidance a student could need and ask for.
He's very friendly and doesn't mind you asking a lot of questions.
He's punctual and easy to learn with. So if you're looking for an instructor to help/guide you and who is friendly, I would highly recommend Automatic Driving Shool with Darren.
Thank you so much for all your teaching Darren!!
Laura C
Calm; professional and reassuring instructor
Peter passed 1st time after my 40 hour Intensive Course.
Having had some lessons and a semi intensive course on a manual car before I had lost my confidence in taking driving lessons and was very nervous on the road. Darren is a very calm; professional and reassuring instructor and from the lessons that I had over a month and a half time meant that I had my confidence back with driving; so much so that I passed my test first time with only two minor faults. If you are unsure of something or you do something wrong; Darren will take the time to go over it and assist you in correcting the fault. Darren is a very competent instructor who teaches in a very calm, structured and understanding way so that you understand the practical driving against the theory. Would definitely recommend Darren to anybody that is looking to take Automatic driving lessons.
Peter
Highly recommended
Highly recommended, passed first time!
After not getting along with manual driving my first time around, Darren helped me to get back into the swing of things and made me very comfortable learning in an automatic. There was no pressure and Darren made me feel confident in my driving and with his guidance, I passed first time just before Christmas, a great Xmas pressie! Thank you.
Gemma
Amazing
Amazing
I had previous instructors before, and have always been a very anxious driver, but after having Darren teach me he not only made me feel at ease, but gave me confidence in myself, enough so that I not only passed theory first time, but passed my practical first time with 3 minors. He was extremely reliable and punctual, and was an Instructor I could depend on to go above and beyond to get me the pass I needed. Throughout the learning process Iv been pregnant, which has made me extremely hormonal, but Darren dealt with my mood swings and kept me focused on what I needed to do. I would recommend him to anyone. He can (clearly) work with a diverse range of people, (if he could deal with me lol!), and is probably the best instructor you could pick if your hoping to pass! I'm not only a full driver now but a confident one and that's thanks to him!
P.s he has got a great sense of humour and a warm personality so I not only learnt but enjoyed it as well!

Built up my confidence
Anouska passed 1st time.
Having tried out a few different instructors, I called Darren in a bit of a panic - my theory test was due to expire in just under a month, and I was desperate to learn to drive by then! Darren's method of teaching was completely different to any other instructor that I had tried. He was a lovely person to work with and he made the lessons very enjoyable. He was always encouraging me and really built up my confidence, which meant that I felt strangely calm throughout my test (I'm normally a very stressy person, which often makes me perform worse under test conditions). He set out a clear plan of what he was going to teach me each lesson, which really helped to get me on track to pass in such a short amount of time. The mock test that he organised for me a week before my test was an invaluable experience - it highlighted my strengths and weaknesses and gave me things to focus on during my test. I honestly couldn't have passed my test so quickly without his help - my only regret is that he wasn't the first instructor that I found!
Anouska
The Best Instructor in the area
Wen Wen passed with just 3 minors
The Best Instructor in the area
Darren is a fantastic instructor. I passed my test with him very recently. I would say he is the best in the area! I have never driven before and I passed with him in about 2 months time. His course is well planed and structured. He taught me through every single problem that I had, very patiently spent time explaining to me, and kept practicing it till it is tackled. He is the person not only to help you pass, more importantly, to teach you the right attitude to be a driver. I would have no hesitation of recommending him to my family or friends.
Wen Wen

Rhiannon Passed With Just 1 Minor.
Would highly recommend to anyone. Never thought i would pass in a million years! Been a long journey learning to drive for me! Darren gave me the confidence and techniques i needed to be able to pass my test! Got 1 minor with my first attempt! Many thanks Darren for getting me through this chapter of my life!
Rhiannon
Best driving instructor around!
Tanya passed 1st time with only 3 minors.
Best driving instructor around!
Passed my test yesterday with only 3 minor faults after only 15 hours of lessons with Darren. I'd had a few lessons years ago with other instructors, and despite the fact I loved driving I hated my lessons with them - until I met Darren, that is. He's really friendly and puts you at ease quickly, helping you build confidence. He will tell you straight away when you make mistakes, but then tells you what to do next time and not to dwell on the errors too much, just to focus on getting it right and becoming the best driver you can be.
I would highly recommend Darren to everyone, but especially so if you are nervous or have had negative experiences with other instructors in the past - choose to have lessons with him and you won't regret it, because you'll pass your test in no time. Thanks for everything, Darren! :)

Vera passed 1st time at Ashford test centre after taking my 30 hour intensive course.
"Great instructor.
I was so lucky to choose Darren Austin as my driving instructor it's the best decision after spending loads of money with other instructors. I would recommend Darren to everyone who is looking for an automatic driving instructor. He just helps you to understand things and explains very clearly what you need to do and why.
I liked the way he taught me to parallel park perfectly with 2 moves.
I advise everyone to go with Darren and they will be the ones writing a review like mine.
Darren Austin thank you very much for your patience and putting all your trust in me and giving me confidence.
From Vera a very satisfied customer
Vera
Outstanding

Krupa“I have tried other products that worked fine, but this one is certainly the best of them all. It brings efficiency to a new level of simplicity.
A friend of mine recommended Darren's Drive Automatic School
Anna Took my 25 hour intensive course and passed 1st time with only 4 minor faults.
"After countless lessons in a manual car and failing a number of tests, I decided to change to an automatic car. A friend of mine recommended Darren's drive automatic school. Darren is a great instructor. He had faith in me right from the beginning He always said I would pass when I absolutely had no confidence or faith in myself. I did a 25 hour intensive with Darren. he corrected all my faults and bad driving habits I had developed over the years. I passed my test first time with Darren and am over the moon. Thank you Darren, for being a fantastic instructor, a positive influence and for having faith in me. I highly recommend the intensive course with Darren.
Anna
I would 100% recommend Darren
Passed first time today with only a few weeks worth of lessons, I would 100% recommend Darren to anyone wanting to pass their test!!

"With no driving experience I passed first time in only a week of lessons! Darren is a patient and excellent instructor. His teaching methods enable you to pick up manoeuvres quickly and drive safely. I would highly recommend Darren if you wish to learn drive.
Laura
I can recommend Darren without a second thought
Amal passed 1st time after taking my 35 hour intensive course.
I can recommend Darren without a second thought.
He always keep you comfortable and confident during lessons. Not only he points out your mistakes that can lead to a test failure, but also makes sure you correct them through repetitions.
The mock test was another eye opener for me, because it clearly revealed where I was weak and simply we just focused on them just before the test. So happy to say that I passed the test with only a single Minor!!!!That too first time! Thanks for Darren's constant reassurance.
Amal
Great instruction

His friendly and approachable personality makes learning fun. He has also helped me build my confidence on the road. I would definitely and have recommended Darren!
Laura
Great teaching technique
Ilona passed 1st time after my 20 hour intensive course.
Passed my test from the first attempt today. I had 2 instructors before Darren but none of them were helpful in me progressing with my driving. He is very calm and very patient instructor. If you are nervous beginner he is your best choice. Great teaching technique mixed with great sense of humour. His makes driving lessons fun.
Ilona
Fantastic teacher
Jack passed 1st time after only 10 hours.
Darren was a fantastic teacher who always did his best to help and always remained very calm and considerate during lessons and helped me build confidence in a very short space of time. I passed first time in a very short space of time due to hard work and Darren's excellent teaching.
Jack

I would highly recommend Darren to all my friends and family. I found Darren to be very patient and professional at all times. I'd like to thank him for all his help and support, for giving me all the knowledge and confidence that I needed.
Jo
Fantastic Instructor
Fantastic Instructor - 1st time Pass after 25 Hour intensive course
Before contacting Darren my experience of driving, from a previous instructor ,was extremely negative and my confidence in my ability was non-existent.
My fears were immediately put to rest during my first lesson with Darren however, who allowed me to take it at a pace that I was comfortable with until my confidence returned. He recommended that I do a 25 hour intensive course after a couple of lessons and he had every faith (and encouragement) that I would pass 1st time…. Which to my amazement, I did!
I couldn’t recommend Darren Austin highly enough, lovely bloke with a fresh approach to teaching.
Natalie
Calm & positive instructor
Patient, calm & positive instructor. Having failed 3 manual tests over a 15 year period I was really dubious about starting lessons again. However I'm so glad I did it. Darren made me feel relaxed, confident & made me laugh in the process. This was the first time I actually enjoyed the lessons rather then dreaded them & the first test that I knew I was ready for (passed with only 3 minors). I'll be booking my Pass Plus with Darren & would highly recommend his tuition to anyone.
Nicola
I would recommend 100%
Kirsty passed 1st time after taking my 25 hour Intensive course.
Would recommend 100%- Darren was a brilliant teacher, I was nervous and had been putting off driving for years but glad that I went with him, he put me at ease everytime I was nervous or thought I couldn't do something. His learning technique worked so well for me and after 25 hours of lessons I passed 1st time!! The intensive course is definitely the best option as you get through so much more. It was great learning to drive whilst being able to have a laugh with your instructor which made it all less terrifying!
Kirsty
Thank you so much, Darren!
Anisa passed 1st time after taking my 20 hour Intensive course.
Thank you so much, Darren! Gave me the confidence that I needed! Had 3 instructors in the past but none of them was even nearly as good as Darren Austin! I would definitely recommend him to everyone and anyone who wants to drive automatic. I am usually a bunch of nerves when driving, never had a confidence in myself or thought I'd ever-ever pass. Darren believed in me, put me at ease, had fun while teaching, gave me the knowledge and skills I needed, boosted my confidence, he is very friendly and nice. I passed thanks to his techniques and his patience, can't describe how happy I am with the whole experience!
Anisa
Thank you
I have driven with other instructors in the past and have failed my exam twice unfortunately. Others didn't prepare me much for exam when Darren was absolutely different. It took me lots of self work plus his amazing experience. I took all of his advices and passed immediately with 4 minor mistakes. Thank you and I recommend him as excellent driver for future students!
Alina
Patient driving instructor
James passed 1st time after my 25 hour Intensive Course
Darren is a reliable, clear , calm and patient driving instructor . He has a great personality and sense of humor, he is very easy to get along with.

James
Charlotte passed 1st time
I would recommend Drive Automatic School
Learning with Darren has been the best experience from the 1st lesson through to passing 1st time today with flying colours. My wife also has passed 1st time with Darren yesterday!
Darren's method of reassuring for those with a nervous disposition and communication of his knowledge driving is second to none. I would recommend the Drive Automatic School to anyone. Thanks again Darren, it's been a pleasure.

Olena
One of the best in Surrey
Madeline passed 1st time with only 2 minor faults after taking my
40hrs Semi Intensive course.would recommend Darren’s automatic teaching. He is one of the best in Surrey. He is a first class teacher. I was very nervous but he was able to put me at ease and I got through my test successfully. He teaches one to one and explains the basics in a clear manner. He is very kind and patient and teaches in a friendly atmosphere. He makes you feel at ease when you feel nervous by making a joke. I would recommend you go to him before anyone else because you can trust him. Go to Darren before anyone else as you’ll have the best chance of passing.
Madeline
Gentle and friendly
In a short period of time Darren make me pass with him in first go, he is amazing instructor, who understand pupil's need in very first lesson. Not only he is best in his field, he is a wonderful lovely personality as well. very kind, gentle and friendly too.
I wish I could give him 10 *s. I will recommend him for those pupils who are nervous like me, DON'T GIVE UP -- JOIN - DARREN: DRIVE - AUTOMATIC.
I WISH HIM ALL SUCCESS AND IN HIS FUTURE.

Nice guy
Darren is an around nice guy with a very calming manner. Has taken me from no car experience to a first time pass in a block of 15 lessons. The later stages involving a mock test followed by ironing out areas of concern has proven to be very successful. Fully recommended an instructor with the perfect qualities and a well structured programme that led to passing my test.
Steve Henson

Top man
Darren is a very professional driving instructor. Top man who makes one feel at ease from the first lesson. If you are looking to pass then he is your man. He corrects one at the right moment and knows exactly what the examiner's look for. He works with one to make them full of confidence. He is not out to get your money but he thrives on making his pupils pass. Highly recommended.
Nancy

I had put off learning to drive for years as I was nervous and did not truly believe I could do it. Yet two and a half months later I passed. Darren was thorough and gave me the confidence and belief that I could do this. He is friendly and happy to go over things until you get it. I would certainly recommend him

Masaki passed with just 1 minor fault and is now considering Pass Plus
I'm one year visitor from Japan living in Egham and have hoped to get a driving licence in UK. In spite of my poor English, It took about just one month to get my driving licence after I called him for the first time. Unfortunately I've failed my first practical test because of one careless fault with 5 minor, but successfully passed with 1 minor in the second challenge. As a whole he is a perfect instructor for me. He knows everything technically you should know to pass the test and he is patient and kind enough. Additionally, he is a so much delightful person. I'm extremely grateful to him for all the efforts he did for me. I wish you will enjoy his lesson as a successful pupil
Masaki
Very good instructor
Yoshiko passed 1st time with only 6 minor faults after my 20 hour intensive course!
I had passed my driving test in Japan 17 years ago but hardly ever drove after passing. I came to live in the UK 10 years ago but didn't swap my licence in time so had to take a UK test. I hoped to pass my theory test by Christmas and practical by spring. Darren said pass your theory test soon and you will get you licence before Christmas, I didn't believe him but he was right. I found Darren to be a very good instructor, he was patient, made sure I understood things. He was funny & chatty but was strict when he had to be. I would recommend Darren to anyone who wants to pass their driving test.
Yoshiko
Darren is a fantastic mentor
Elizabeth passed after my 3 Day Intensive Course with only 2 minor faults! (Sorry about the blurry picture!!!).
"Darren has been a fantastic mentor to me! His calm and approachable persona has allowed me to finally get over the finish line and pass! So I would advise anyone looking for an instructor to definitely go with Darren because you can't get a better instructor who would make you feel as comfortable and positive as he can! Thank you so much for everything and I will take on board what I learned from you and make sure to put it into my real driving.
Elizabeth
I passed so quickly
Just recently passed my test, been with Darren for little over 3 months and have found that his teaching methods are fantastic and is the main reason why I had passed so quickly. I had been with 3 different people and had none of the freedom I had to drive than I did with Darren. Perfect instructor if you want to pass your test first time.
Ali

Thank you Darren for not giving up on me.
Your teaching techniques are very good, your practical examples and stories made me remember everything that you are teaching, your crazy mantras and sense of humour always make me laugh, but most of all your patience really controlled my nerves.
You have made possible what I thought was impossible.
Thanks again and see you soon for my Pass Plus

Joanna passed 1st time after taking my Semi Intensive Course
I would like to say I was very impressed with your knowledge and enormous experience on every lesson we had, it gives me a lot confidence and shows how professional you are, it's not only on things you are praising a pupils but also you are very honest to tell and point out weak side of the person, well judgment and motivations I was offered by you are priceless, and must say it's hard to find someone trust worthy and committed as much as you were in the past few week. I'm very grateful for your help, I know without you I wouldn't success. Thank you.

I passed first time
As an older and very nervous driver, Darren really put me at ease, was incredibly patient with me and explained everything in a calm way. He really gave me the confidence I needed to finally take my test at the ripe old age of 30. I passed first time and I'm sure my husband will too, who is also taking the intensive course with Darren. I highly recommend him.

I'm a so pleased I found Darren
I'm a so pleased I found Darren , I had a horrible instructor previously whereI spent 6 hours of training only with Darren, I had around 7 lessons but I was beginning to dread my lessons and didn't feel like I was getting anywhere, luckily I decided to look for a new instructor and came across Darren, he taught me more in one 1 hours lesson than the other guy did in 7 possibly more! I'm actually looking forward to my next lesson. I would definitely recommend anyone who is not happy with their instructor to try Darren it makes a massive difference!

Darren boosts confidence
Having had experience with other instructors as well, I can confidently say Darren is the best. Most friendly car with so many markers for students to perform manoeuvres easily. Darren is a very friendly instructor and he knows how to boost confidence in his students. Honestly, he is one of those few who has got passion towards work .

Passed 3 minor faults
Taylor passed with just 3 minor faults.
“can’t recommend Darren enough! I found Darren after digging online to find a local automatic instructor for my partner to learn to drive with.
We choose a 30 hour course and payed using Darren’s interest free payment plan, after completing most of her lessons and mock test that Darren also arranged as part of the course with another instructor Darren said she was ready. In short my partner passed first time with Darren after just 2 weeks and 3 days and Darren refunded back a fair amount of the course because she didn’t use the lessons and Darren gave her the confidence to believe in herself!
1st lesson today
I had my 1st lesson today and Darren has already surpassed what my previous instructor couldn't in 20 lessons. Looking forward to my intensive course.
Adam Cronin
Best instructor
I met Darren after 3 other instructors. Nice knowledgeable guy. Will tell you exactly what needs to be done. Encourages you, believes in you and if you don't do it correctly will push in the right way to get it done correctly. The best instructor I have had and trust me I’ve had 4 in all. If you want to pass 1st time come to Darren no kidding.
Komal
Thank you
I only had lessons with Darren for around 2 and a half weeks, very good instructor! And first time pass! Thank you so much Darren!!

Darren understands his pupils individual needs
Darren is one of the best Driving instructors in the UK that I have come across. Darren understands his pupils individual needs and address them with his indigenous methodology of teaching. He is one of those instructors who is not only highly skilled in teaching driving but also has the right courage and competency to take a novice on busy road, roundabouts and challenging traffic situations. Darren stays very focused on his pupils individual learning curve and works with them with great patience, and in a very cool and calm manner. It was only Darren's training that I have passed my driving exam in first attempt with only 3 minors. I highly recommend Darren as your number one choice not only to pass the driving test but to be a good driver for the rest of your life.
Arvind Kamble
I spent 6 hours of training only with Darren, I passed my test the first time. He's a really good instructor as well as a great friend.

Darren is an amazing instructor
Darren is an amazing instructor, he makes the lessons fun and challenging. He teaches a high standard of driving with lots of practical tips and is also chatty and funny.

He always projects a positive attitude
Darren is a really good instructor who at first assess my skills and knowledge on driving very well. He teaches in a systematic way , he is very friendly and it helps as you feel comfortable learning . It is also an extra bonus with his hilarious jokes that actually makes driving interesting and fun. He was very supportive and patient with me and the one thing that made the difference of me passing the first time with Darren is the fact that he always projects a positive attitude .he encourages me and is confident in my driving skills, if i make mistakes he made sure I learn from it by trying harder and I think that passing the driving test really makes a difference if you have a great instructor who believes in you. Thanks
Darren.

I passed first time
Darren is a great instructor. As a mature learner, I was feeling very anxious but Darren made me feel relaxed from the very start. I decided to go for an intensive course over 4 days. Darren ensured that I covered everything necessary and focused on areas where I needed more practice. I felt well prepared for my test and really appreciated Darren's encouragement, which gave me the confidence I needed going in to the test. I passed first time with only 2 minors. Thank you Darren.

I would thoroughly recommend Darren if you're looking for automatic driving lessons. After having some bad lessons with several other instructors, I found Darren's methods refreshingly different and easy to understand. I passed my test quickly and first time!
See you in Friday for the pass plus!
Sharon
He very quickly gave me confidence
I would thoroughly recommend Darren for anyone looking to learn to drive. He very quickly gave me confidence in my driving. He was always careful not to cram too many different things into one lesson so this meant I finished every lesson feeling like I had made a big step forwards. Darren helped me pass my test first time and with just a handful of minors.
