‘To whom it may concern,
Reg was my Instructor and I am taking this opportunity to write a review on him and his services. As an experienced driver, I had to retake my full licence when I moved to London from America and learn to drive on the left side of the road on the tiniest streets.
Reg was a wonderful Instructor, he made me feel comfortable at all times,gave me simple and great advice for me to nail a manoeuvre the first time. Reg was always on time and even early for all our lessons together and his smile and positive attitude put me at ease. His car was clean and smelt nice,he refrained from taking calls or being distracted in any way.
I passed my driving test the first time I took it and I am grateful to Reg because I know I could not have done it without him. I was well prepared and confident when I arrived at the test centre.
I am so grateful for all the time he spent and shifting his schedule around to accommodate me especially on Sundays.
I highly recommend him to anyone wishing to have a stress-free professional Instructor.
Thank you so very much! See you on the road’.
Regards
Sarah Salmi’

Leon was my instructor, he was amazing!! Thanks to him, I passed first time!He taught me so much along the way, not just for the test but also for general day to day driving. I felt very confident for the test, as he prepared me so well with all the different scenarios and mock tests.He was always super calm and patient, and always helping me improve my driving and awareness on the road, plus he gave me really helpful summaries after each lesson.Also, I really enjoyed learning from someone who is a proper 'driver' with a clear passion for driving! This made me enjoy the lessons even more and made me more confident and excited to start driving on my own.So, definitely ask for Leon, he is fantastic!! Thanks again!
Really enjoyed my driving lessons with Ronnie, he was very kind to me after I failed the first test and was super helpful in preparing me and helping me get my second test. Super easy to contact and schedule lessons with! Highly recommend.
I’ve reached out to Chelsea driving school after a stressful experience with another driving school which made a very anxious driver. I’ve been assigned to Ronnie and managed to pass my test on the first try which I never thought would be possible. Ronnie is the best possible teacher, he makes you feel at ease when driving and his instructions and feedback are precise and build on prior experience from lesson to lesson. His targeted approach ensures you get comfortable with the different traffic conditions in no time. I couldn’t recommend Ronnie enough for anyone looking for a driving instructor!
Ronnie is an exceptional driving instructor. From the first time in the car he put me at my ease and gave me confidence and belief that I could be a driver. He was extremely attentive and hardworking and didn't let me fall into bad habits. He is also an extremely likeable man and I always enjoyed his company. I cannot recommend him highly enough. To my delight and Ronnie's credit I passed first time!
My lessons with Derek were great - he was a good and reliable teacher and passed first time thanks to him!
Ronnie is a wonderful teacher. Most importantly, he is absolutely the reason I passed my test on the first try. I felt totally prepared and Ronnie really helped build my confidence that I was ready to pass. His feedback is thoughtful and he put me at ease while driving, not overly focusing on small corrections, but giving targeted feedback that really resonated and sunk in. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Ronnie to anyone I know looking for a driving instructor!
My son passed his test with Mary Heravi and we were so delighted to have been recommended to her. We moved from another School and the difference in her teaching was huge. She is kind, knowledgeable and very professional. I was grateful that she always communicated quickly about lesson logistics and guided my son through the whole process. I wouldn't go anywhere else in future!
My son William has just passed his driving test today; he and we are delighted!Tariq is a professional, knowledgeable, calm and caring instructor, he instilled confidence, and made the whole experience enjoyable...William will miss his lessons, but we hope to be back with Tariq again, when his sisters learn to drive!Thank you Tariq and Chelsea Driving School.
Marian, my instructor, was so helpful, encouraging and really taught me to be aware of, not only how to pass the test, but also how to be a better driver and understand road safety in general. He made driving make sense instead of a formulaic process that everyone has to get past. I would highly recommend this company and its instructors.
I passed my driving test first time today having had Tariq as my instructor. He was very patient, encouraging and explained things clearly. I was a nervous driver before but now am much more confident thanks to Tariq. Chelsea Driving School was also very quick in putting me in contact so I could begin my lessons quickly. I would highly recommend both using both the Driving School and Tariq to learn to drive!
I’ve just passed my driving test first time! I had lessons with Mary who is truly an amazing Driving instructor. She really cares about her student’s success and really helped me gain confidence from the very beginning, she is very patient and all the lessons are really well structured. I cannot recommend Mary enough!
My instructor was Maryam, she was a lovely lady who was very patient and understanding in our lessons when helping me to learn the rules of the road and safety checks. In particular during the lessons if I done something well she would give a thumbs up in my view which was really helpful to know when I was doing something right especially if I had made a mistake on it before so I could know I was improving. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I was happy to get such a helpful instructor.
Maria is honestly the best driving instructor out there. She was patient with me and ensured that I was confident with every aspect. Thanks to her fantastic teaching I passed my test first time, and I am very grateful to have had her as my instructor. Thank you Maria!
I am an experienced driver but new to the UK. I had to take the driving test since my driving license is not accepted here. Reached out to Chelsea driving school to get an instructor. I was first assigned to a driver but was not happy with the communication. The team immediately put me in touch with Derek and it was the best thing ever. He accommodated to my needs and was up to the challenge to change old bad behaviours. He was thorough, repeats things as much as needed, and is very patient. I felt sometimes he was a bit tough but because he takes safety on the road very seriously and I appreciated it. I wanted to be a safe driver.I took the test and passed with only 2 minor faults. I am so grateful for Derek and I highly recommend him to anyone.And well done Chelsea Driving School for turning my initial negative experience into a very positive one.
My driving lessons with Marian were brilliant. He was very knowledgeable, understanding and he prepared me perfectly to pass my test. I wouldn’t have passed first time without him. Would highly recommend!
I have a UK driving license but needed a refresher after not driving for a few years. Tariq helped me rebuild my confidence with bespoke lessons tailored to what I needed to brush up on. I have become a safer and more strategic driver. I wish he had been my instructor when I learned to drive to get my license. Thank you, Tariq!
I can’t be grateful enough for Ronnie my driving instructor. He was patient and kind but also direct when I needed to correct repetitive errors.I passed theory and driving on my first tries!Thank you for being positive and encouraging. Recommend highly!
I had Leon as my instructor from Chelsea Driving School and I passed on my first try thanks to Leon 🎉🎉🎉. His attitude, calmness, helpful summaries and insightful knowledge merge together to form the perfect driving instructor! I had 1 previous driving instructor who pales in comparison and so I heavily recommend choosing Leon. Thank you Leon! 🥳
Here's the best place to learn how to drive, and my application gos to my instructor Mr Derrick Haynes from Chelsea driving school.May the bless you in abandoned 🙏 ✨️
I had the best experience with Ronnie at the Chelsea Driving School. He was patient, steady and very clear about what I needed in order to pass the test. He gave me a detailed debrief after every lesson which really helped work out where possible issues were and his calm confidence in me made passing my test seem possible. His support outside of lessons, whether it was answering questions or helping me work out when to book a test was super helpful as well - I would very highly recommend!
Passed with 1 minor in Morden through them! Had the pleasure of being taught by Derek for about 2 months. He was attentive and the various teaching materials he uses suit all learning styles. It was useful to see diagrams to aid my approach to manouvres and junctions. This know doubt sped up my learning.He was very accommodating with my lessons being scheduled around my job which was one of my main worries about trying to learn in London.Will be recommending any of my mates in London to learn through Derek and Chelsea Driving School
I started my driving lessons with Marian in the summer and just passed my driving test on the first attempt! Couldn't recommend Marian + Chelsea Driving school enough, also accommodating weekend driving lessons as I work during the week. Very professional lessons + I had fun learning 🙂 Thanks again Marian!
I did my lessons with Leon over the past couple months and passed! After having 5 different instructors I found that his clear and patient style worked perfectly and allowed me to develop my skills and confidence in a comfortable setting.
