Tony was amazing from day 1 driving instructor – patient, calm, and really supportive.
As someone with ADHD, I really appreciated how he adapted his teaching to suit me and explained things in a way that actually stuck. It made a huge difference to my confidence and progress.
He doesn’t just teach you to pass your test – he prepares you to be a safe, confident driver for real life. I’d 100% recommend him – thanks again for everything Tony!

I passed my test yesterday by learning with Tony he’s a great instructor and I have so much confidence with driving. He is patient and his instructions are clear.

This may differ slightly from many reviews, in that is is about my partner, an elder learner who’s first language is not English (although you may not realise when talking to her). A driver in her native country, but not in the UK – her confidence having been shaken badly many years ago when she first immigrated.

With the pair of us approaching advancing years, but liking to get out and about, it makes good sense for us both to be mobile so that neither has to be wholly dependant on the other, and the conversation once opened, my partner started seeing many more advantages being mobile and independent could bring.

However, seeing advantages is not taking the step outside the door, it is not getting into a car to drive. The wonderful woman, whom I know as being confident and positive, was clearly suffering from high apprehension and nerves.
“If I try it and don’t like it, I’m not doing it again!”
was a regular mantra that morning, as I did my best to reassure while we waited for her first lesson.

Even I who have 100% confidence and belief in my other-half, didn’t completely know how that first lesson was going to play out.

If I can borrow a couple of Winnie the Pooh references, she left the house like Eeyore and returned like Tigger. The change in one lesson was remarkable! Whatever demons had been there were vanquished by Tony, his clam, understand, and supportive manor had clearly won out! I cannot thank him enough for the confidence that was returned to my loved one that day.

Fast-forward a few months, and I was fortunate enough to witness Tony in action. The day of her test, and my partner wanted me to come alone to the Test Centre with her for a little extra support. Of course, this meant sitting quietly in the back of the car during her pre-test lesson. Here I witnessed first-hand the care, support, understanding, and guidance Tony gives and is renowned for. She passed her test that day; but I know even she hadn’t, Tony’s support and guidance would still have been there.

Thank you Tony Harding, an unreserved recommendation. With the belief that whatever worries, whatever obstacles may have been experienced in the past, for all drivers, Tony’s Driving School is one of the very best.

Tony was a great driving instructor. Thanks to him I passed first time. He was really patient and always listened to any questions I asked. Thanks Tony for all of your help.

Tony was brilliant. Driving did not come ‘naturally’ to me, but tony was so patient and made sure I understood everything. He is very accommodating and you can really tell that he loves what he does. I managed to pass my test with 4 minors thanks to Tony’s driving school!!

Tony is amazing. My Daughter didn’t have a good start with another instructor so Tony took over and did a fabulous job. Calming, chatty and a great teacher. Thank you 🤩 100% recommended. …

Tony is a very friendly, patient instructor who made my daughter feel at ease. He tries as hard as he can to be accommodating to any requests to change lesson times. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her lessons with Tony, and passed her test first time. He is highly recommended. Thanks Tony!

Tony took over my daughter’s lessons from another instructor who didn’t quite fit. Gradually built up her confidence. Advised us perfectly on the length and frequency of lessons and the timing of the test and she passed first time. Kept us in the loop throughout. Highly recommend.

Tony is a friendly and patient instructor. He gives helpful advice to follow for driving practice in between lessons, and points out which areas need improvement. He helped my son to pass first time. Highly recommended!

Having failed my test several years ago and loosing confidence Tony supported me through my lessons and I passed first time with him as an instructor.
He is calm, compassionate and instilled confidence in me i didn’t know I had. Having had a few different instructors, I would fully recommend him to any new drivers!
Thank you Tony 😊

After months of learning with Tony, I can confidently say that he is the best driving instructor.
He teaches in a calm and collected way which creates the perfect learning environment.
I would highly recommend Tony to any person looking to start driving lessons!

I’d like to thank Tony for helping my son Charlie pass his test on his first attempt. Tony was flexible finding extra slots to get Charlie ready. Very patient and understanding. All the best ..

I’ve had driving lessons with Tony since 2024 and have recently passed my test. He’s a great instructor who takes time to ensure all parts of driving are completed safely.
He gives very effective and constructive advice about how to improve and progress as a leaner driver with the goal to be safe on the roads.
I would highly recommend Tony to any person wanting to start driving or get back into driving.

Tony was an absolutely brilliant teacher! I was a very nervous and unsure driver when I came to him, and now, after passing my test I feel so much more confident and calmer behind the wheel, and it’s all thanks to Tony.

Tony offers a very methodical, calm and enjoyable approach to his teaching, so I would highly recommend him to people of all experience and confidence levels who are looking for high quality teaching.

5/5 – Would strongly recommend

Thank you again Tony, I couldn’t have passed without you!!

Just passed my test with the amazing help from Tony!. He’s a great instructor that focuses on each individual as they come and help work around what needs improving and gives out great advice. The entire time I was learning with Tony, I was relaxed and learnt a lot from him. The experience ive had with Tony is honestly PRICELESS and couldnt be more grateful of everything he has done to help me pass my test.

Tony is a very knowledgeable, patient and calm instructor who explains not only what is required of you to pass your driving test but also instills the skills needed to drive after you pass and how to achieve this in an easy to understand way. I managed with Tony’s excellent tuition and guidance to pass my test at the first attempt. * Highly recommend Tony’s Driving School to anyone * 10/10

Top class instructor! And he really put our daughter, Ellie at ease at every lesson. Tony built up her confidence and was very patient and professional! We are so happy she passed!
Thank you so much!
