Why BASLIDON Learner Drivers
Chose Drive School Of Motoring
Andrea Roca, Basildon.
I have recently just passed my driving test and I would love to thank Colin for all his help and support along the way! I honestly believe that I wouldn’t had passed if it wasn’t for his consistent support, advice and guidance.
He was very friendly and will make you feel more than comfortable behind the wheel! If there are any elements that you are unsure of he will ensure that he goes over it with you again and again until you feel comfortable with it. He is patient and welcomes you to make mistakes, so you can have the option to learn from them!
I will miss my lessons with Colin, but I am so happy that I have passed my driving test and can now be on the road alone! As I stated, I wouldn’t had done this without Colin and honestly cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Colin once again!
Andrew Sivell, Basildon.
When choosing my driving instructor, I was looking for someone who could reduce my nerves when driving and help me to be a more confident driver. He also needed to be trustworthy and being local would help too.
Learning to drive was certainly harder than I expected it to be, but I found Colin’s teaching methods to be very good, as he adapted his teaching style to suit me.
I had been learning to drive for around two years before I came across Colin and in comparison to my previous instructor, I learned a lot more, in just two months.
I’ve told both my brother and sister to go with Colin, as he’s the best instructor there is.
I would change nothing about my lessons with Colin, he was an absolute gem and I’m glad I found his driving school, or I would still be learning now.
Elleny Brittain, Basildon.
When choosing a driving instructor, it was important to me that he would be calm and understanding. What also helped my decision to choose Drive School of Motoring was their good 1st time pass rate. Learning to drive was harder than I expected but I found my instructor’s teaching methods easy to understand and very helpful. I would recommend Drive School of Motoring to others as Colin was patient with me even if I didn’t get things at first.
Jasmine Dale-Smith, Basildon.
The most important reason I chose Drive School of Motoring as my driving school was the level of their success in pass rates and the five -star reviews they have online. It was also important to have a driving school close to where I live.
Whilst learning to drive, there was a lot more attention paid to details than I expected, and this helped me to get the best drive possible.
I would recommend Drive School of Motoring to others as I was able to pass my driving test first time.
Kaiya Dobson, Basildon.
When looking for a driving school, firstly I was looking for someone with a good local reputation and a high success rate and also a calm and experienced driving instructor. Learning to drive was pretty much what I expected, as the under 17’s driving experience that Drive School of Motoring run gave me a good idea of what to expect. Colin’s teaching methods catered to different learning styles and I found the use of drawings very helpful. I would recommend Drive School of Motoring to others as my instructor was very good and the car was nice.
Leanna Fursedon, Basildon.
Where do I start…. I’m so glad I chose to go with Colin, he’s so kind and patient and like the others say, he’s got a good sense of humour, especially putting up with me…
From the very beginning until the end now that I have passed, I have had an amazing experience and been taught to such a good high standard, I’d always recommend Colin.
I can honestly say it’s been great having you Colin. Even the slightest mistakes Colin will ask you to pull over when safe, and just explain it all, and always words things so that you can fully understand. So Thankyou Colin, I’m so glad I choose your school for my driving… I’m giving a personal 10+ star review. Absolutely fantastic, thanks again Colin
Paul Thompson, Basildon.
When choosing a driving instructor, the most important things I looked for were a fair price and that they were a local driving school. Also, another factor was availability of times to suit me.
I already had road experience through riding a motorcycle, so learning wasn’t new to me, but I found Colin’s instruction was very clear, practical and constructive.
I would recommend Drive School of Motoring to others, as Colin has the time, patience and skills to teach anyone to drive.
I don’t think there are any areas that could be improved, keep up the good work.
Uche Ezeh, Basildon.
I read the reviews and was attracted by the success rate and money back guarantee so I called Colin to book a block of lessons. Colin was professional from the beginning but also human and laughed at my jokes, which is always a plus. He has a great approach to adapt his teaching to your personal learning style and apply a critical adult-learning approach. This ensured that I was involved in setting my weekly objectives, met my weekly learning outcomes and could reflect on the lessons learning at the end of each session. As an ‘experienced’ driver it was a challenge to let go of my past learning and ‘bad’ habits that I had acquired over the years, but with Colin’s tutoring, dry sense of humor and encouragement I was able to gain the skills and confidence I needed in a good amount of time and pass my practical test first time.
I would highly recommend Drive School of Motoring and Colin Lott as a driving instructor and tutor for the competitive pricing, professionalism and documented success rate.
Veaceslav Iesanu, Basildon.
That was an amazing experience, a really useful and memorable one. I have passed the theory test and was looking for an instructor when Colin from Drive School of Motoring was recommended to me by a friend who passed her practical test just days before. And I had never regretted.
Always positive, with a dose of humour, Colin knows how to make you feel comfortable, confident and less stressed being on the road! Everything was explained with patience and on a calmly voice, even if sometimes I was doing something wrong, he could ask to “find a safe and convenient place to stop” and get all the issues sorted.
Every penny I spent on tuition is now turning back through the confidence I have on the road and through a relaxed and pleasant drive. Thank you Colin for helping me to become a confident and safe driver!
Kelly Williamson, Basildon.
“Colin Lott is the best driving instructor, very calm and patient with plenty of giggles.
He always put me at ease even on a bad day and, if you’re like me and the thought of driving makes you anxious, book with Colin and you’ll soon be loving driving.
Colin, I cannot thank you enough for all your help and support.”
Harihar Radhakrishnan, Basildon.
“Drive School of Motoring is the he best driving school I have used.
Colin Lott is a calm and experienced instructor who generally focuses on safety aspects of driving and his classes have really helped to improve my observation while driving, which helped me pass my test first time with Colin.
Moreover, he always adapts timing of classes according to our requirement.”
Rick Rattu, Basildon.
“Colin Lott of Drive School of Motoring was an amazing instructor, as someone that is very anxious, he has made me comfortable and confident on the road.
He was very patient and positive throughout and I highly recommend Colin and Drive School of Motoring, with years of experience and expert knowledge.
Thank you for all of your help and support, really appreciated.”
Gemma Alter, Basildon.
“I cannot recommend Colin Lott enough. He put me at ease every time I got in the car, I came to him with zero experience in driving and he got me driving with confidence in no time.
I managed to pass my driving test first time under his instruction with only 2 minors. He made sure I knew everything I needed to and didn’t just do it for me to pass my test, he made sure I was comfortable doing it daily, so I didn’t make silly mistakes whilst driving in my daily life.
He was recommended to me by a friend and I must say it’s the best recommendation I ever had and I’ll be recommending him to my siblings as well.
Thank you so much Colin for helping me with all my driving lessons and getting me through my test with confidence.”
Vinosh Gnanasekaran, Basildon.
“I recently moved from the USA to the UK and needed some help getting used to driving on the wrong side of the road 😂
Colin was my instructor and was very detailed with the instructions while being very patient.
It turned out I made the right choice of going with Drive school of Motoring, as I passed my driving test on my first attempt and all the tips Colin gave me were spot on.”
Jake Nichol, Basildon.
“The main reasons I chose Drive School of Motoring as my driving school were that they had good reviews from other people in my area and that the lessons were good value for money.
Learning to drive was harder than I expected, in the sense of just how much you need to be aware of.
I really liked how Vasile would break my mistakes down into detail, to help me understand how to correct them, and felt he was patient in helping me learn from them.
I certainly would recommend Vasile and Drive School of Motoring, as mentioned, for patience and value for money, but also, as I had a good relationship with my instructor.”
Elena Filippova, Basildon.
“I was extremely satisfied with the services provided by Drive School of Motoring.
One of my friends recommended Colin as a professional instructor, and I am happy that I went through learning experience with this instructor. He is a real professional! Always calm and patient, very clear and explicit
I came to the UK 3 years ago, and initially, I thought it was not the best idea to have an English speaking driving instructor because of the language barrier, but it was never a problem to ask him again if I wasn’t sure about certain things. Colin was always happy to help and answer any questions I was asking.
I had never driven a car before starting my driving lessons, so it was a bit of a struggle from the beginning, and I couldn’t imagine myself driving a car. A massive THANK YOU to my instructor for all the lessons I’ve learned, and all the knowledge and experience I’ve gained.
Definitely recommend Drive School of Motoring services!”
Samuel Pattman, Basildon.
“I joined Colin after my previous instructor changed careers with only a few months before my test.
Colin inspires confidence and has a very clear and concise way of explaining not only how to drive safely, but why driving in a certain way is necessary.
I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and he made changing instructors at a crucial time so much easier to handle!
I would highly recommend Drive School of Motoring!”
Shante Taylor, Basildon.
“I had Peter Wright as my instructor and he was the perfect instructor, patient and understanding and made me feel so comfortable learning and when I made mistakes we joked about it and corrected them rather than seeing them as bad things.
I passed my test today first time and with only 2 minors all thanks to him.
Highly recommend!”
Paulina Pluta, Basildon.
“I have no words on how amazing my experience was with Drive school of Motoring!
I was really lucky to have the best in the world, Peter Wright as an instructor; patient and understanding (we literally joked about everything so I did not feel any stress.)
No matter how much you don’t believe in yourself, Peter believes in everyone, he is one in a million HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
(ps. Pete loves to be surprised with home baked cakes 😉 )
I passed my test today first time and with only 1 driving fault
Thanks Pierre you are the best.”
Lauren Rea, Basildon.
“My instructor, Pete, remained a total professional through my ups and downs, patiently showing his experience and understanding of driving.
He was flexible and knowledgeable of my specific challenges and misconceptions as a driver and strived to support and advise whenever he could, making me feel safe and in control.
He was able to give clear, consistent and concise feedback that helped me reflect and develop.
However, more important than that, he was kind and personable, and was able to make me feel relaxed and confident in myself and my driving!
I will be recommending him to any and all prospective learners!
Thank you!”
Rena Zheleva, Basildon.
“I would like to thank my instructor Peter for all of his patience, time and hard work.
Peter is a wonderful teacher who managed to remain calm the entire time even when I made mistakes.
He took the time to explain everything to me with great detail and care.
I would highly recommend Drive School of Motoring to anyone who is looking to gain the adequate knowledge and confidence on the road.”
Andrew Spinks-Dear, Basildon.
“I can’t recommend Colin Lott of Drive School of Motoring highly enough.
My son has had various instructors over a ten year period but has always given up and not got round to taking his test.
With the help and support of Colin, he has just passed his test with only two minors.
Colin is very experienced and patient, and he really boosted my son’s confidence. He clearly felt very comfortable with
Colin and said he was the best instructor he’d had by far.”
Rosie Glover, Basildon.
“Just want to say a massive thank you to Peter!
You have made learning to drive enjoyable and easy even when it wasn’t, me being heavily pregnant wasn’t ideal but you made it easy and comfortable to learn quickly and I couldn’t have passed without you!
I 1000% recommend him to anyone looking to learn and pass… thank you so much Peter you have changed my life!!
Thanks again Pete you’re a legend.! 💕
Nicolas Punga, Basildon.
“Drive School of Motoring was my top choice when it came to learning how to drive. From other’s recommendations and reviews, I could not find a better driving school in my area! I also liked that they offered 2-hour lessons as their standard.
I have absolutely enjoyed my time learning to drive with Colin. From creating a solid foundation of the basics of driving, to teaching complex skills needed as a driver, I have found his methods easy to follow and understand.
Every lesson, I’ve been given amazing feedback on the progress occurring and it never felt like I was stagnating.
The patience and understanding I was given as a learner driver I am happy to say that they have met my expectations and definitely recommend this school to anyone learning to drive. The lessons were always on time and the communication was top notch!”
Grace Kohter, Basildon.
“Pete is the best driving instructor!!
I was such a nervous driver, but he made me feel comfortable behind the wheel.
He was always patient and made me look forward to my next lesson.
Couldn’t have passed without him!!”
