I passed my driving test with Craig! Thank you so much!

I am so happy to share that I passed my driving test with Craig Pattison! I can't thank him enough for his teaching. I was very nervous about learning to drive at first, but my husband, who had learned from Craig and passed his driving test last year, highly recommended him to me. And now, I can confidently say that learning to drive with Craig was the best decision I made!

Craig is an extremely professional driving instructor. He sets realistic targets for each lesson and I can always learn a lot. His patience and ability to explain things clearly are truly commendable. My husband and I often talk about how lucky we are to have Craig as our instructor. He is undoubtedly the best driving instructor we could have asked for!

I am so grateful for Craig's teaching which helped me gain the skills and confidence to pass my driving test. I highly recommend Craig Pattison and Drewmatic driving school to anyone who is looking to learn how to drive. Thank you so much, Craig!

Great driving school

I had a wonderful experience with DrewMatic and Angie in particular! In just a few months I went from zero experience to successfully passing my driving test. The instructor was professional, patient, and eminently helpful - now I feel very comfortable on the road. Would certainly recommend Angie and this driving school :))

I passed my driving test first time on Saturday and highly recommend my brilliant driving instructor Craig Patterson, he has been so patient, understanding and believed in me when I didn’t myself! Can’t thank him and drewmatic enough for changing my life and giving me my independence and freedom. My experience from start to finish has been second to non! Thankyou again.

New opportunities for mature learners

I am a more experienced person so when I started to take driving lessons it was with some trepidation. However, they could not have been nicer and reassured me from the start. Tony, my driving instructor was friendly, put me at my ease and tailored my driving lessons to meet my personal goals. He is very patient, professional and has been that way with me throughout my learning journey and today, I successfully passed my practical driving test. If you are thinking you might be too mature for a new opportunity then give Drewmatic and Tony a chance to show you otherwise. I am delighted with the service and my confidence in my new driving skills

Outstanding Driving School

I would highly recommend DrewMatic to ANYONE wanting to start driving lessons! Clint is a fantastic instructor! I honestly couldn't recommend him enough. I was extremely anxious starting driving lessons again later in life (after lessons with a different Driving School years ago) but from the minute I started lessons with Clint he did his absolute best to put me at ease, he always went above and beyond to help me with anything I was struggling with and to make sure I was confident in what I did. Definitely the sort of instructor you want when learning to drive! Thank you so much Clint, see you on the roads!
P.S. Top tip - watch his videos!!

Clint helped me overcome driving anxiety.

Prior to using Drewmatic, I had a test and failed and it really knocked my confidence. I genuinely thought I'd never pass my driving test and felt really anxious to even start lessons again. When I first contacted Drewmatic, Clint gave me a call and immediately put me at ease with his humour and honesty. During our lessons, I noticed I was making good progress quickly and I felt comfortable talking to Clint about my anxieties. Each lesson was tailored to my development and I was able to practice the areas I felt weak in until I felt confident. He linked me to lots of valuable videos which helped a lot in the run up to my test date. Clint was really accomodating to me throughout my learning journey and we were able to find times that were suitable to my schedule. Honestly, I can't recommend Drewmatic enough and I'm really grateful to Clint for helping me through my test! ❤️

I had lessons with Adam and I would highly recommend him particularly if you lack confidence and are anxious about driving as I was.
Adam is a great teacher and he put me at ease in every lesson. Adam is very patient and he also encouraged me to push through my fears when I didn’t believe I was capable.
After a long absence from driving Adam has encouraged and enabled me to get back on the road driving again and I am extremely grateful for his help and support.
