Mark Cottrell is a legend!!!! - If you are looking for a professional driving school who creates a friendly atmosphere which is extremely beneficial to learning then ROBBIE's is the one for you. I found that Mark could read how i was doing so well that he could even tell me how many minors i would get in the real test which i passed first time thanks to his expertise. Mark i couldnt of asked for a better instructor. Many Thanks

Wonderfull Instructor - Mick Deen, you are a wonderfull and brilliant instructor but i do not know what to say about you rather to say BIG THANKS. With less than four lessons, you let me make my dream. Thanks
By: Mojeed on 7/11/2008  

Cheers Chris - I found Robbie's online just before I took my theory and I couldn't be happier that I did. I wanted to pass quickly first time and asked Robbie to book my test straight away, I had intensive 5 hour lessons with Chris at weekends for four weeks to fit around work. By the time my test was here I knew the test routes like the back of my hand and passed first time. I'd recommend them, Cheers

Fantastic - Robbie was my instructor and he was fantastic. I had been driving in the US for 10 years and had to unlearn all my bad habits and he helped me through it all. He was incredibly patient and was one of the only reasons both my husband and I passed first time! I would recommend Robbie to anyone learning to drive.
By: Jessica on 26/10/2008

THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT - I passed my test in the First Go today. Thanks Robbie. I would not have done this without you. I made you really work hard. I did not had any previous driving exp. on the road, not even with the bicycle and was so scared thinking about it. But Thanks God, I got into Robbie Driving School. They are the Prefect D T S to pass at the first instant.I highly recommend. Cheers Robbie. Rajesh 03/10/2008
By: Rajesh R Bangera on 3/10/2008  

Gerald Dardis. No 1 Instructor! - I just passed my test, all thanks to Gerald Dardis. His patience & expertice helped me to pass first time. he knew exactly what the examiner expected which also helped alot. I would highly reccommend him to anyone. Oh & his jokes were hysterical.
By: Richard Ratnasingham on 28/9/2008

Highly recommended! - After waiting 15 years before learning to drive, I am very grateful to Andy for helping me pass with only 4 minor faults. He is an excellent teacher# patient, knowledgable and with a great sense of humour. My housemate has already booked lessons with him and I'd recommend him to anyone, especially people who are learing to drive a bit later and are nervous on the road. Cheers Andy!
By: Ryan Evans on 27/9/2008  

Thank you - Thank you very much to Robbie for helping me pass my test first time, which i never thought would happen! I think i was able to achieve this because of Robbies patience, great teaching and preparing me well for my test. I will continue to recommend Robbies to everyone! Thank you again.
By: Naomi Cornell on 27/9/2008  

Thanks Driving Guru! - My colleague introduced me to Robbie’s. I was mentored by Ed Swann. His constructive feedback, structured approach and traffic facing suggestions enabled me to face the practical exam with confidence and pass on my first attempt. Thank you very much Ed and thanks Robbie’s Driving school. I highly recommend these professionals to support your goal of becoming a safe driver for life.
By: Mahesha Pandit on 24/9/2008  

Keith Brown the Great Teacher - Personally I would highly recommend Keith's lessons to learners of all levels. Keith is a very friendly, nice and patient instructor. He is impressively helpful and professional in his conduct. In fact, I've learned as much about communication and presentation as I did driving skills through Keith's great lessons. After just a few lessons I felt very blessed to have passed with just 3 minors.
By: Brian Su on 21/9/2008  

Thank you Andy - I've just taken my driving test with Andy from Robbies Driving School for the second time and passed with only 3 minors. Andy was by far the BEST instructor I've ever had, made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, was extremely flexible, patient and always coming up with ideas that to help me learn. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone. Thanks Andy :).
By: Tara Jones on 15/9/2008  

High calibre of Teaching - Having motorbiked for 5 years and briefly learnt to drive 3 years earlier, I was fairly confident of my road capabilities but really needed to refamiliarise myself with car controls. For this, Robbie's gave me a brilliant instructor, Mark, who really tailored his lessons to dealing with my requirements. Within about 15 hours of lessons I passed and I honestly cannot recommend them enough. 10/10.
By: Tom Bedford on 13/9/2008

Great teaching! - I took lessons with Ed Swann, and I can highly recommend him and Robbies. I passed first time after 20 hours of lessons with 2 minors. Ed's instruction was excellent, and he was always encouraging even when I made mistakes! His punctuality for lessons was incredible and he was always very friendly. Thanks very much!
By: Chris on 10/9/2008  

The best instuctor in Bristol - I have to say that Mike Sims from Robbie's driving school is a fantastic instuctor, not only are the lessons great value for money, Mike also helped me pass my test with a clean slate, without even 1 minor. Needless to say i would really recommend this driving school and especially Mike Sims to anyone who is looking to learn to drive. Thanks for helping me pass!!!
By: Sandra Aylett on 5/9/2008  

perfect - Robbie was perfect. I am actually a little sad to be done as driving with Robbie was incredibly informative and he is so patient. I would recommend taking lessons from Robbie. He helped me pass first time with only three minors!
By: Timothy Webb on 4/9/2008

Brilliant Experience - Driving with Robbie was amazing... he was really patient, and allowed me to develop my own style, while still learning what the important stuff. He made sure that i didnt go for my test before I was ready, and was extremely flexible when trying to fit in my lessons. The fact he worked sundays was an added bonus, as i work fulltime! Brilliant experience throughout - would highly recommend them!!
By: Samata on 3/9/2008  

Yeah I PASSED!!!!!!! - Keith Brown What a star he was calm patient and very reliable I found Robbies online and They took care of every thing i needed they booked my Theory and my Practical test all i needed to do was turn up and pass which is what i did thanks to Keith.Robbies are a great driving School I highly Reccomend them. Thankyou.
By: LISA NELSON on 1/9/2008  

Intensive Course Success! - Thankyou so much to Keith Brown for getting me through my intensive course and my test. I was over the moon to pass and I couldn't have done it without Keith's positivity and support. I would certainly recommend Keith to anyone, he has a really smooth teaching style and always picks up niggling problems and sorts them out.
By: Sarah Leadbetter on 22/8/2008

Highly recommend Robbies - I would definitely recommend Robbies driving school. Took my test today, and passed first time. Mike Sims is a great instructor. I used to be a really nervous driver, who didnt like driving at all, now i enjoy it and feel confident on the road. Mike really helped encourage me, and was always professional and friendly. if your looking for a great driving school, definitely check out Robbies.
By: Holley Chapman on 16/8/2008  

Passed 1st time! - I still can't quite believe I have done it - but having read the other reviews here, i should maybe have had more faith! Thanks to Mike and the programme of learning he has put me through I did it (despite the nerves) and I am really grateful to the person who put me in touch with Robbie's Driving School and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.
By: Noni on 14/8/2008  

Passed first time! - I passed the test first time (with 2 minors) and the credit goes to my instructor Ed Swann. Ed has a very professional approach and he is a very efficient tutor who will make sure you get the message right. I would highly Ed recommend anyone who is looking to pass the test. Thanks to Ed and thanks to Robbie’s driving school.
By: Vijay on 8/8/2008

By: Sophie Hingston on 5/8/2008  

Andy was excellent!! - Andy's a great instructor. Not only punctual, polite and great value for money, I feel that he adapted his way of teaching to suit myself. I am not of school leaving age, and unlike previous instructors, Andy did not treat me like I was. He made me feel truly relaxed and I was able to gain confidence behind the wheel.I was simply over the moon when I passed Sat with only 2 minors, thank you andy
By: Laura on 5/8/2008

By: mark quinn on 29/7/2008

Passed first time! - My instructor was Gerald from Robbie's Driving School, and I would recommend him to anyone! I was absolutely petrified when I first started, but he quickly put me at ease and gradually built my confidence up. I ended up passing first time, with three minor faults! I can't thank Gerald, and Robbie's D.S enough!
By: Charlotte Stoneley on 28/7/2008  

Great driving school! - Great driving lessons by Gerald. I would highly recommend Robbie's and Gerald, got me through my test with 4 minors!

By: Doreen on 23/7/2008

Great support Mike :) - After a long break from driving, plenty of bad habits, and a few less positive experiences with other schools, Mike managed to iron things out with me in a most supportive and friendly way. Importantly for me, he had the patience to explain the logic behind various codes and practices - really helped my re-education more than just repeated corrections. Be ready 15 mins earlier than he says though!
By: Max Morley on 22/7/2008  

robbies - I found Robbies online, and glad i did, never heard of them before but gave them a try, my instructor was Mark Cotterell and he is great!!! Give him all my credit and i passed 1st time with 8 minors(which 2 ov them i stalled the car!!) Would recommend mark to anyone he is a great guy easy to get along with,gsoh and a great instructor...all my thanks to mark your ace mate!!
By: kari gillard on 21/7/2008

Excellence at its Best. - Being introduced to Mike Dean by a family friend who passed her driving test through him has been one of the greatest thing that has happen to me this year. Taken through the ethics, skills and pofessionalism of the road was wonderful. I was able to pass my test 1st time with a minor fault. Isn't that wonerful? Great. Thanks Mike, Thanks Robbie D. S.
By: Nuraini on 17/7/2008  

Excellent Instructer Mike - Mike is an excellent teacher, very patient, and helped me to pass my test. Thanks to Mike, now I can drive………unbelievable for me
By: Shagufta Habib on 14/7/2008

Mike Dean you are legend - I passed in first attempt, in three weeks, after taking 14 lessons, in total. Three weeks left I started taking lesson and thought definitely I have to extend my test date but Mike did not allow me to extend. I appeared and passed. The most important quality of Mike is that# in last week I wanted to book four lesson but he said you just two lessons will be all right.
By: Sabir Hussain on 14/7/2008

Denise Dawson - Denise (works at Robbies) managed to get me through my test first time with only 1 minor! which is better than any of my mates, despite the fact I'm dyslexic and have co-ordination problems :) Thankyou!

By: Joanna on 7/7/2008  

FANTASTIC DRIVING SCHOOL - I am delighted to have passed my driving test first time with only 2 minor faults. Before i started driving with robbie i hated driving, now i have the confidence to achieve my dream of owning my own car and being able to legally drive it! This is going to help me no end, especially with a baby on the way! THANKS ROBBIE!!
By: Natalie on 4/7/2008  

Mike Dean = Legend - I honestly don't think I could have been taught any better! Just wish I hadn't wasted my money on other places before I found Robbies! Will be recommending Mike to everyone wanting to learn. Thanks a million Mike, I can drive - woop!
By: Sophie 'no minors' O'Kelly on 3/7/2008

Thanks a lot Mike!!! - If anyone is looking to pass the driving test in the very first go, like me, I would highly recommend Mike Dean from Robbies Driving School. The kind of professional guidance he has provided me during the classes I took from him is simply outstanding. Being an ex-examiner himself, Mike has a very good knowledge of the exact requirements for passing the test. Thanks a ton - from Subrata.
By: Subrata Ghosh on 29/6/2008  

Mark Cottrell - Huge thanks to Mark Cottrell and Robbie's. I failed the test seven times previously with others so delighted to pass first go w/ only 5 minors after only 5 days of lessons w/ Mark! Fab use of limited time due to work, v.accurate in his teaching and spot on with advice on how to approach the test on the day. Great to work with someone so adaptable to the needs of his pupil, thoroughly recommended
By: Joe Shephard on 25/6/2008

From tears ...to joy! - I have passed my test first time, thanks to the wonderful Gerald! I was EXTREMELY nervous about driving, especially in a city as hectic as Bristol... but Gerald has been fantastic - always patient and caring... when others may have given up, or drowned in my frequent floods of tears! As an added bonus, he also has a wicked sense of humour and I'll miss our weekly chats.
By: sara on 18/6/2008  

Pass 1st time 0 faults!!!! - My driving instructor was Denise who was brilliant! I would recommend, and have recommended her to everyone i know who wants to learn to drive. Thank you !!!!!
By: Naomi on 18/6/2008

By: mandy on 11/6/2008  

what can I say - At 40+ never thought I wouldhave a license. I have tried for 20+ years then I picked Robbies, met my instructor Mike and the rest is history. Passed on my birthday, would recomend Robbies and Mike to anyone. Thanks for my new life of freedom.
By: Kate on 8/6/2008

By: Natasha Karrington on 6/6/2008

First time Pass - I passed first time thanks to the expertise of Neil McDonnell, one of Robbies instructors. Neil was patient, calm and also value for money because he didn\'t get me to undertake lessons i didn\'t need, thanks to his expert assessment on my driving ability. I would recommend Robbies to anyone who believes driving instructors should have the above qualities,and sensitive to puplis incentives. Thanks
By: A.Abdi on 5/6/2008

Great job Mark!! - It was a challenge to get the drivers license with the prior training I had in France! Thanks to Mark I got it!

By: Oliver on 23/5/2008

Neil Rocks! - Passed my driving test!! thought I'd say a big thanks to Neil who was my driving instructor, I really felt much more confident driving around after I had brushed up on a few problems and was so glad I carried on with the lessons at university. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor really friendly, great area to drive in and the student rates were fantastic! Top driving school!!!
By: Anisha Kheta on 22/5/2008  

Thanks Robbie's - I dont know how to start. Robbie driving school has made an history in my autobiograpy. Mike! Mike! Big Mike!!! You are the man. I passed today without stress. Your expertise advise is invaluable. I thank you.
By: Ibrahim on 21/5/2008  

First time! - A genuinely excellent service. Mark was a very good teacher with a relaxed style and very easy to get on with. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
By: Alex Minhinick on 21/5/2008  

Cheers Keith - I have been learning to drive for six months and passed my test today with only 6 minors. Keith Brown has been instrumental in this# he offers a friendly, dedicated service and it was great to have him as my instructor. Robbie's School of Motoring is a great driving school and lucky to have Keith on board. I would recommend Robbies to anyone setting out to learn to drive. Thank you Keith!
By: Matthew Rock on 8/5/2008  

Girl Power - A massive thanx to denise for helping me to learn and pass my test so quickly. shes a great teacher who is very calm and helps you to correct anything that goes wrong and of course like to have a chinwag :-).. which is always a nice thing.. thank you sooo much shes a legend.

By: emma peacock on 4/5/2008

The Best. - Amazing what more can I say, all the way through my learning - having taught me from being a complete novice to today when I passed my test! (with only 3 minors to boot) Very relaxed lessons and being taught everything you need to know lead to me being a careful, safe driver and Robbie now has yet another pass to add to the list! Highly Recommened To Any Learner!!
By: Ross on 2/5/2008  

PASS! - I passed my driving test today all thanks to Mike of Robbie's Driving School who was patient, reliable and perhaps most importantly a good teacher to an easily flustered student. I would recommend Robbie's Driving School to anyone thinking of learning to drive because of their flexibility with regard to lesson times, low prices and successful pass rate. THANK YOU MIKE!!
By: Siobhan on 30/4/2008  

Plain Sailing! - I would highly recommend the Gerald Dardis as a driving instructor, his tuition was very clear and I picked it all up in no time, from being a complete novice. I passed my test with only four minors and learning to drive with him was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Top marks! A special mention for Robbie too for arranging everything so quickly!
By: James on 29/4/2008  

Passed first time zero faults! - I can't stress how much I would recommend Robbie's! I was taught by the man himself and have just passed first time with zero faults thanks to his suberb teaching style - relaxed, straight forward and very effective. Robbie seemed to have all the tips to make things go smoothly and was a great laugh too.
By: Luke Scrine on 20/4/2008

Cheers Mike! - A big thank you to Mike from Robbie's Driving School for getting me on the road and passing my test! I found Robbie's by chance on the internet and have been impressed with them from the first lesson. I would highly recommend them to anyone learning to drive in Bristol!
By: Sam on 9/4/2008

By: jimmy on 5/4/2008

Thanks to Andy - I just wanted to say a huge thanks to my instructor Andy Gregory of Robbies Driving School. I passed my test first time due to his patience and encouragement. I now have the independence that I have been longing for thanks to him! First class.
By: Neel on 4/4/2008

First Rate ! - I’m very greatful to Robbie for his driving lessons. Having taken my driving test in France 14 years ago and driven for only about one year afterwards, I was absolutely scared to go back into a car and, on top of this, to drive on the left…it was like starting from scratch. Robbie has been an extremely patient, tactful and excellent instructor. I really appreciated his skills and professionalism.
By: Stephanie on 30/3/2008  

BEST DRIVING SCHOOL - PASSED FIRST TIME - Amazing driving instructor, fantastic car, great learning methods gave me loads of confidence, loved learning with Robbie, any new drivers would definitely recommend him. Thanks alot mate taking pass plus soon. By Dan Caradine
By: Dan Caradine on 18/3/2008  

Canadian-UK Licence Success - Big thanks to Robbie for getting me ready for the UK driving licence. Being Canadian and being used to driving on the right, I was a little worried about passing the test. In just a few lessons Robbie was able to prepare me to pass. His expertise on the skills and maneuvers required and his fantastic teaching got me ready for the exam. I passed with flying colours Thanks Robbie!
By: Ryan Elliott on 16/3/2008

Thanks! - Just wanted to say a big "thanks!" to Gerald at Robbie's for helping me pass my driving test. I had taken lessons (and tests) with other companies, but Gerald was so clear and concise regarding manoevres - by far the best instructor I had. When I called Robbie's to see if I wanted to use his company, Robbie was very helpful and encouraging. Thanks guys! I'll be booking you for Pass Plus!
By: Melanie on 13/3/2008  

Passed first time - Found Robbie's by chance and am very glad that I did. I managed to pass first time which is probably a better indication of Robbie's ability to instruct rather than my driving. Wouldn't hesistate to recommend Robbie's to anyone else.
By: Alex Beharrell on 11/3/2008  

Only 4 minors! - I had my lessons with Gerald, who's very down to earth so you know exactly what you need to do to improve. I wasn't pressurised into taking my test & neither did I feel as if I was being held back for the sake of profit (one of my big concerns when I was looking for an instructor). I lack confidence and Gerald helped me get in the right frame of mind for my test. Good value for money too.
By: Helen Heggs on 10/3/2008  

Success thanks to Keith! - I would highly recommend Keith Brown from Robbie's driving school. He is a patient, encouraging and humorous instructor and I passed my text with only three minors despite beginning as a very tentative initial driver. See you on the road Keith and thanks again!
By: Lisa Lucas on 6/3/2008  

1st test... and smashed it!!! - Really happy with Robbies driving school, good reception and friendly instructors. I passed first time with only a few minors, overall very happy with everything, hopefully going on to do pass plus soon!! Thanks Gerald :-)
By: james on 28/2/2008

JUST PASSED! - Just passed my 1st test with 3 minors! All thanks to my great instructor Kieth, he\'s an easy bloke to get along with and teaches very well, i recommend him and Robbies to anyone! Now I\'m going to go for a drive :)
By: Jay on 25/2/2008

Woow! If I can pass they can - I had the pleasure of being taught by Eric Arnold in an automatic. He was very laid back and took everything at my own speed so my confidence grew quickly. I had tried to learn to drive in my early 20\'s, but had been put off by previous instructors. I feel really lucky to have found such a great instructor and want to thank Robbies school of Driving for having Eric on their books.
By: Becky Chivers on 24/2/2008  

Very Professional - I took my lessons with Andy. He is a very nice, chilled out guy and most importantly, a very good and an experienced instructor. Since I had already passed before, I was only taking one lesson every fortnight. Robbie's school was very supportive about this and I am very pleased with their service.
By: Saif Akter on 11/2/2008

The Best in the West - I'm 30 and previously had been scared to drive beacuse of an accident when I was younger. Robbie provided me with the greatest instructor in the world Eric. Eric made me feel relaxed and confident at the same time. He built me up gradually but quickly, I only had 10 - 15 lessons and by the end I could do my parallell park with my eyes closed. Passing my test has chnaged my life. Cheers !!!
By: Hassan on 22/1/2008

Past 1st Time - I started learning in September and past in early Jan 1st time!!! really loved learning to drive with robbie's driving school, they picked me up and dropped me off at uni and I was always able to have lessons when I was asked. They taught me in really good time and gave me the confidence to pass in only 4 months

Thanks Keith - Just want to say thanks to Keith Brown from Robbie's. He was an excellent driving instructer who was very patient and gave me great confidence in the car, was very good for a nervous driver who had never even sat behind the wheel of a car before!!!! Explained everything in a simple and straightforward manner, and always very friendly. Thanks for helping me to pass my driving test!!!!

11/10, highly recommended - I couldn't have asked for more from Robbie and his driving lessons. I was taught brilliantly and thoroughly, right from the beginning, to pass my test first time. I started with no experience driving at all, and became really confident very quickly. The driving school was very patient, and i am very grateful. i can't fault Robbie's in any way, and would recommend them to anyone.

Simply the Best! - I was really lucky to have my driving lessons with Gerald Dardis from Robbie. He is friendly and straight to the point. I always liked him to teach me because he knows what examiners want & what to expect from them. He has vast experience in his field and second to none. I do recommended Gerald Dardis from Robbie to everyone. If you want to pass the first time with flying colours,look no further!

He has a very simple and articulate style of instruction which cuts out any faffing around and brought me up to a high standard in only a few lessons.

Pass 1st time! - I passed my practical test today. I am very grateful to my instructor Mr. Gerald Dardis for his patience, expertise and a great sense of humor. He made driving so much fun and managable! I started as a nervous driver and then had around 20 lessons with Gerald. He built up my confidence and skills in driving. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is desperate for a PASS.
By: Maggie on 15/10/2007  

Recommended - I did a lot of searching before finding Robbie's Driving School, I liked what I heard, so booked my first set of lessons, & I am so glad I did. I had never driven before, & had very little confidence, but my driving instructor was patient & encouraging & tranformed me from a nervous, uncomfortable novist, into a competent, assured driver. I now feel on par with other drivers on the rd. Thank you!
By: Michelle Williams on 7/10/2007

By: Micky on 25/9/2007

Robbie's is Simply the Best! - I’m so pleased that my housemate recommended Robbie’s. My instructor Andy, was very friendly, calming, and a brilliant teacher. I’d recommend him to anyone! I've had lessons in the past with one of the big driving schools but didn’t like the lack of consistency. If you’re looking for quality instruction you really can’t go wrong with Robbie’s! I'll definitely be doing the Pass Plus with them.
By: Tom Randell on 23/9/2007  

From no experience to a first time Pass - When I started driving with Robbie’s I was a complete novice. But thanks to Robbie and his friendly teaching, I managed to pass first time! I was so impressed with the high quality instruction I was getting, that I recommended Robbie’s to my housemate. We both passed our tests on the first attempt. If you are a first time driver like me, I would highly recommend Robbie’s. Thanks again Robbie!

Mini Car, Big Results... - If you're searching for a good instructor then I can't recommended Robbie (and his team!) highly enough...Robbie's patience and excellent teaching strategy (and humour!) enabled me to nail this driving lark safely and confidently in his great new Mini!! Awesome stuff. thanks Robbie :)
By: Hamish on 17/8/2007

Passed first time - Robbie is a very good instructor, he explained everything we were doing and where I was going wrong. I was then able to work on this and build up my confidence ready for my test - which I passed with only 2 minors!
By: Cat on 17/8/2007

Robbie's is a great driving school!!!! - I was lucky to have my lessons with Robbie in his fab new mini!! The lessons were great as his comments always made me drive better the next time.

As long as you put in as much as you are given- you will be passed! I am very impressed and completely satisfied with the service provided and would recommend Robbies- and Mike to anyone regardless of personal needs. Thanks so much!
By: lydia on 10/7/2007

By: Sarah M on 5/6/2007

He's a miracle worker! - just passed my test with 1 minor with Robbie. He is a lovely patient man. Always made me feel at ease. I can't wait to do my pass plus in the new mini. Thank you Robbie, let's hope there's good summer so the sunglasses can stay on :). If someone as nervous as me can pass then anyone can with Robbie.
By: Lizzie Day on 17/5/2007

- robbie's the best instructor i could have imagined, he got me to the highest standard and enabled me to pass first time, he provides a safe and relaxed atmosphere in which to learn and even goes as far to supply chewing gum to help calm the nerves!! i would immediately recommend him to anyone i know and with his new Mini, leather jacket and sunglasses he's the coolest teacher on the circuit.
By: Matt L on 30/4/2007

Second in family to pass first time with Robbie's - Both my sister and I passed first time with Robbie. She after four months, me after five. We both got our Pass Pluses really quickly too. He was flexible in pick up, and flexible with lesson times - even 8 in the morning on a Sunday! He will help you pass first time - without a huge number of lessons needed too!
By: Megan on 24/4/2007

Passed First Time - Robbie was recommended to me by my sister, who passed first time with Robbie and I could straight away see why - he put me at ease, and gave me the confidence in my own abilities, even though sometimes he would go over something about 10 times (i think i hold the record for the most number of turns in the road for a lesson!) and I too passed 1st time! I would highly recommend Robbie!
By: Gemma Mitchell on 30/3/2007

1st Time Pass & 100; On Theory test! - I can wholeheartedly recommend Robbie's Driving School. He is a patient and supportive instructor and a very nice guy. He was able to fix all the bad habits I'd picked up driving abroad in automatic cars and coach me to a first-time pass in a manual car and 100; in my theory test. Thanks!
By: Akanit Duangmalai on 5/2/2007

Excellent Teacher - I began lessons with no confidence in myself as a driver. Robbie is a kind and patient instructor who teaches you to gain confidence and knowledge. I ended up passing my test after only nine lessons thanks to Robbie. I would highly recommend him as an insturctor.
By: Olivia on 5/2/2007

Thankyou Robbie! - When i first started driving i never thought i would pass first time, however Robbie helped me build my confidence and my driving skills which enabled me to pass no problem! Excellent value for money and i recommend him to anybody, thankyou again.
By: Ria Palmer on 13/12/2006

Very Good Driving Instructor - Robbie is a patient instructor and great with nervous drivers and people with no experience.The new mini is very easy to drive. Robbie makes lessons fun and adapts lessons to suit you working life and areas of driving you need to improve on.Lessons are great value for money.Intensive lessons are hard work but robbie made each lesson interesting.I would reccommend robbie to anyone.
By: Sarah Kennerley on 15/11/2006

Passed with no minors with Robbie's! - After failing my test 3 times, I took my test with Robbie's and passed with no minor faults!! Robbie has oodles of patience and good humour.

By: G.Kraja on 27/7/2006

Relaxed, simple and fun! - Robbie has such a calm manner it completely put me at ease behind the wheel and built my confidence quickly. He communicates in a simple direct way, allowing you to hear the essentials without becoming confused or panicked when it feels there is so much to think about all at once. I would defiantly recommend him and the mini is so great it gives the potentially daunting experience and edge of fun.
By: Emma Young on 24/7/2006

He could teach anyone to drive! - Robbie is a calm, patient and overall great teacher. I have no hesitation what so ever in recomending him to anyone. He can make the most complex manouvers simple with his easy to learn methods and it's great fun driving his Mini One! If you want to learn to drive you need not go no further.
By: Dan Gates on 8/7/2006

By: siobhan on 3/7/2006

Fabulous Robbie! - I can highly recommend Robbie's Driving School# Robbie and the rest of his ace team offer excellent instruction and the coolest cars to learn in! As an apprehensive beginner, I found Robbie put me completely at ease and very soon I was feeling more confident.

By: Kitty Swindells on 3/7/2006

Drive all the way to success with Super Robbie in his Mini - He is supercool, has wonderful techniques and tricks for the difficult manouvers and has wonderful cars ( the latest being a brand new black Mini Cooper which I absolutely liked). For a no frills, punctual, patient and helpful driving instructor, I have no hesitation in recommending Robbie. All the best for your practical test- crack it with Robbie's Mini Cooper.
By: Anirban Chakraborty on 16/5/2006

fast way to success - The driving lessons were superb and I never had the feeling that I wouldn't get enough for my money! Robbie is a cool and very good teacher and his teaching will definitely lead to success and loads of fun! Thanks again, Robbie!
By: Oliver Heimes on 8/5/2006

From international license to a UK license - Robbie adjusted the classes to my needs: I hold a foreign license for 13 years now, and needed to re-learn how to drive in England. In just a few lessons and one driving test I managed to do that thanks to Robbie. Thank you Robbie!
By: Naama on 30/4/2006

Relaxed confident atmosphere - Passed with Robbie nearly 3 years ago and been driving perfectly since! His lessons were always conducted in a relaxed atmosphere and was at ease with him from the first lesson. Always took the time to fully explain any queries and happy to focus on whatever i felt were my weak points. Highly recommend his services.
By: Paul lofkin on 24/4/2006

Passed first time! - I started off as a very nervous and hesitant driver, but Robbie managed to coach and nag me into passing my test first time, for which I am eternally grateful. The lessons were good value and Robbie succeeded in making the learning fun. Recommended to anyone, but especially those who might be a little hesitant on occasion...
By: Simon Scott on 24/4/2006

Caring with great cars! - Ive been learning with Robbie for a while & I have to say is hes the most patient man Ive ever met! Ive always been nervous of driving but Robbie has really given me confidence. I have my test in a few weeks & hopefully will follow the majority of Robbies other students & pass first time! Robbie is really flexible with fitting in lessons & genuinely cares about his students. Top instructor too!
By: Anna on 24/4/2006

Passed First time - Robbie was an excellent instructor, very very patient and understanding. He was very flexible with the timing of lessons and adapted the lessons to suit me. He helped me to pass first time with very few lessons. I would highly recommend Robbie as a driving instructor!

would recommend him to anyone - Learning to drive was fun with Robbie, he was very accomodating with lesson times and when i needed collecting from random places for the lessons as well as being very patient.

Robbie's makes learning fun! - I've just recently passed my driving test after learning with Robbie's Driving school. I was a very nervous driver but Robbie was patient and made me feel relaxed. If your looking for a patient and friendly instructor then Robbie's Driving School is for you!!
By: Michelle Baker on 13/4/2006

From zero to Driving in 30 Lessons - I would like to point out that at this time last year i was considering which driving instructor to choose. Then in september my cousin handed me a card for Robbie's Driving school, I took this oppurtunity and booked some lessons up. Robbie was very friendly and will suit most tastes i will recommend him to anyone.
