I passed my test first time, something I never ever thought would happen! I can't thank my instructor Spencer enough for his patience and enthusiasm. Thanks soooo much!

Sam Holden, Croydon, Surrey

Spencer from ELITE is a great instructor and has made going from motorbike to car a very easy process. I would recommend ELITE to anyone learning to drive.

Just an email to say 'thank you' to Richard Morris and ELITE for helping me pass my driving test at the first attempt on Friday 22nd October at Sidcup. Richard is a great instructor who always explained everything really well - which helped me pass my driving test after having only 7 hours of lessons with him. Most of all, thank you for being so flexible with timings which helped me book an earlier test date; I was desperate to at least experience the test as soon as possible, and being able to pass it with 5 minor faults on the first attempt was a real bonus. Having taken 2 lessons prior with the AA driving school in Notting Hill (near work), I can definitely say Richard and ELITE are far better and I would always recommend you to anyone looking to take lessons. Thanks for everything.

ELITE Driving School were fantastic, being quite nervous my instructor built up my confidence. My driving instructor Ian was patient, reassuring and helped me to resolve any problems that came up with my driving. I constantly recommend ELITE to new drivers. Thanks to Ian I passed my test and feel confident and safe driving.

My experience with Gary and ELITE Driving School was great. Having failed my test three times prior with a different school I felt it was time to make a change and I am glad I found Gary. He made it very comfortable to learn with him and had a lot of wisdom in regards to previous flaws I had and helped me correct them. He was very flexible with lesson times as well and always catered to my convenience. I will recommend this school as well as Gary to my friends and family so they can also have a great experience and gain an excellent foundation to driving like I did.

WOOO HOOO!! I took my driving test at Croydon test centre and passed first time, which all of my friends said never happens as Croydon is difficult to drive around there. My pass was all down to the lessons from my fantastic driving instructor from ELITE. He was so patient with me and helped me overcome my lack if confidence. He's now teaching 3 of my friends who are enjoying their lessons just as much as I did. Once I've bought my car I'll definitely be back to do Pass Plus. Thanks Chris!

I'd just like to say a big thanks to my driving instructor Ann for getting me through my test at Morden yesterday. I've loved doing my driving lessons as she made them really fun and interesting. I'll recommend ELITE to anyone I know looking for a driving instructor.

Charu Kanwar, Sutton, Surrey

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from ELITE. I would describe myself as a nervous driver and I have previously had lessons with other schools; however no-one was as patient, calm and straight talking as my ELITE instructor. I have now passed and I find that I am not only a confident driver but I understand much more than I ever thought I would about the principles of driving!

Kim Clinch, Redhill, Surrey

I'd previously taken lessons with three other firms; once when I was 17, again when I was 20 and a further time when I was 25. I was sure I'd never get to a level where I would be ready to take a test, as each time I started lessons, I struggled because I was a nervous driver. I found that my instructors lacked the patience and at times the general know-how to help me deal with my issues. My ELITE instructor was superb from lesson one, and quickly ironed out the main problems that were causing my insecurities in a car. Within five or six lessons I was already feeling more confident behind a wheel than I had ever felt before, and after just fifteen lessons I put in for a test and passed first time!

David Cox, Banstead, Surrey

Learning with ELITE was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Teaching was friendly and patient which helped me to build up confidence in my driving ability and any mistakes I made were worked on to ensure I improved. Thank you for all your help in enabling me to pass my test!

Adam Bitmead, Croydon, Surrey

I'm currently learning with ELITE and am extremely pleased with the level of service received every session. During every lesson, I am told what I need to work on, and what I am doing well at, which helps boost my confidence. My instructor is also very flexible and patient! I have recommended ELITE to several new learners.

Aimee McDowell, Reigate, Surrey

I was not a natural driver. I had a few driving instructors previously but my confidence was not growing and I still felt really apprehensive and hesitant in the car. I had failed one test and felt that I was going to be one of those people who would have to take their test 20 times before passing. After having a few lessons with my ELITE instructor I started to feel a lot more comfortable and in control of the car. He let me repeat the same aspect of driving again and again until I felt happy that I could do it completely independently. He really broke it down so I could drive very methodically until it became more natural. When I took my second attempt at the test I felt so much more relaxed and ready compared to the first time. I was so pleased that I passed and a lot of it is down to my instructor and the patient approach he had towards me.

Michelle Fox, Tolworth, Surrey

Thanks so much for the driving lessons. For the first time I was happy to wake up early on a Saturday morning. Thanks for getting me through the test first time and staying calm through the whole thing! I have total freedom now and it's an amazing feeling, now I can easily get out of school and go to parties Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! I'll keep driving like you taught me and stay safe.

James Jackson, Dorking, Surrey

I was taught by an ELITE instructor in 2005, and found him to be an excellent instructor. He was clear, efficient and friendly, and I passed my test in no time, thanks to him.

Richard Devonald, Southfields, London SW18

I only started learning to drive at the age of 29 and was quite apprehensive and nervous at first, but my ELITE instructor was very calm, patient and reassuring. I never felt under any pressure, and the lessons were enjoyable (the time passed so quickly, I definitely recommend two hour lessons). The instructor gave me plenty of confidence so I felt very prepared for my test.
