Testimonials
Connor Perra: ”I received driving lessons for my 17th birthday as a surprise gift and to be honest my parents couldn't of picked a better instructor. I feel as though I am learning the importance of driving and having fun at the same time. Ricky has made me feel very comfortable in the driving seat and I feel confident that I will pass my test when I'm ready. He even teaches theory on an IPAD during our break. I just want to give a quick thanks to Ricky for his time and perseverance. ”
Yvette Young: ”Since I begun my driving lessons with Ricky my driving instructor, I have become more confident. The guidance he has given me has really improved my manoeuvres and driving. Im very impressed with his way of teaching and because of this I have even shocked my self because I didn't expect to achieve the standard of drive that I am at now at. I would highly recommend.”
Charlie Cox : ”Just Passed my driving test 1st time with Only 5 faults ! Before my lessons with Ricky, I only had basic previous driving knowledge, he quickly brought me up to speed with where I left off as well as making me feel at comfort behind the wheel. Very friendly, big character and easy to get on with, highly recommended for first time drivers as well as previous drivers. ”
John Sunter: ”Thanks so much for today's lesson. I found that the subjects from the previous lesson have been lodged in my brain. For example; the great idea of the 3 spots on the windscreen has really stuck with me and is an extremely helpful tool. I am really pleased with myself having gotten out onto 'the roads' today, leaving the empty car park behind! I struggled a little with stalling especially on hill starts today but your method of offering one last go gave me the determination to get it right, and I did! You've been very calm and patient throughout all my lessons so far and I know it's helped me to respond well when I need to concentrate. Thanks and see you on the next one.”
Andrew Robertson: ”Before my lessons with Ricky I had no confidence in myself in or around cars. Very helpful and easy to talk to if you struggle. Now I'm more confident in everything I do. Highly recommended.”
Kane Hammond: ”I am one of Rickys pupils for the last 2 months and have already passed! Ricky puts a lot of effort into his students and is not judgemental. I've been taught techniques that will always be with me for the future years to come and I have now referred my partner to see Ricky for lessons and I'm confident she will pass. Couldn't of done this without him so a big thanks to Ricky for putting me on the roads.”
Anna Tozer: ”Ricky is my 3rd driving instructor and I have learnt more in the 5 lessons with Ricky than the '2 years previous driving I had done.

Tatiana: ”My name is Tatiana, I live in Croydon and I am in my thirties. A few years ago I wanted to learn how to drive and took a few driving lessons with another school. At that time, I did not enjoy the experience and thought I would never be able to drive again. I concluded that driving was just not my thing... As the years passed, I decided to give driving another go and found 1st Class Driving School. When I e-mailed them, I specifically asked for a very patient driving instructor and they straight away understood me and recommended Ricky. I just want to say that Ricky gave me the confidence and the right approach I needed to be a good and confident driver. I'm really enjoying my driving lessons now and for the first time I can say that I understand what I am doing and I can confidently say I am progressing because of a great instructor. Thanks Ricky for your constant help, patience and support. ”
Troy Von Scheibner: “Without the guidance of Ricky, I don't think I would have passed my theory test. I scored 44/50 on the multiple choice and 59/75 on hazard perception. Ricky made things clear and easy to understand... Thanks Ricky”
Liz Rusted: “I began driving a little while ago with Ricky. I had driving lessons in the past with a different instructor and the difference is amazing. Ricky is patient, understanding, calm, an excellent teacher, enthusiastic, focused, clear, open and honest. This makes learning to drive a pleasure and I am gaining in confidence on a weekly basis as well as developing my skills. What makes Ricky different is his clear and simple way of teaching as well as his feedback and information which helps you learn as you go!!! “
Cheryl: “As an older driver it was refreshing that Ricky was so supportive. He is non judge mental and patient, as well as ensuring that he gets the best out of you based on your progression. Ricky will tell you that the shared goal is for you to pass your test and so he pushes you when you need it but also allows you to work at a pace that your comfortable with. I really enjoy my driving lessons and look forward to the next one.“
