"Pierluigi is the best driving instructor I’ve had. I had 3 instructors in the past but no one was as good as him. As someone who has never driven her whole life, I needed an instructor who could understand that it might take a while for me to learn. He was very patient in teaching me every maneuver I have to learn, how to deal with different situations on the road and professionally gives me constructive criticisms to improve my driving. Even on days when I don’t do so well on my lessons, I always go home happy and not depressed (unlike my past instructors) because of Pierluigi’s reassurances, that this is part of the journey and I can get better. Today I have passed my practical driving test (first take) and I couldn’t be more grateful."

10 May 2021 

"I'd been trying to learn to drive for 10+ years and always struggled with extreme anxiety behind the wheel. After several instructors I found Pierluigi and I'm so glad I did! He is patient, calm, encouraging and for the first time I actually found myself looking forward to lessons rather than dreading them. I ended up passing my test first time with only 2 minors after just 5 months of lessons. Not only does PG teach you to pass your test but also how to be a safe and confident driver! I can finally say I love driving - thank you! :)."

10 December 2020  

"I highly recommend Elite Driving school and instructor Pierluigi, who helped me to build and improve my confidence on road. He is really patient, friendly and simply excellent. I highly recommend him…."

08 December 2020  

"I would recommend Elite Driving School especially the instructors PJ and Ian.
They were my automatic driving instructors for just over a year after I struggled to learn manual. They supported me thoroughly and listened to every thing I wanted to do on my driving lessons especially near to my test date and allowed me to complete them. They were very helpful and regularly took me down different test routes so I could learn all the different routes that the examiner may take me. On the day of my test PJ helped calm my nerves.
Thank you both."

24 October 2020  

"I took driving lessons with pierluigi and I must say it was the best and most helpful lessons I’ve ever taken from any instructor.
I passed on my first test and couldn’t be happier."

26 August 2020 

“ I would like to say a big thank you to both Szymon and PG for helping me pass my test! They are both professional, calm and patient witch helped me feel confident with my driving. I would recommend Elite to everyone wanting to drive. I could not have done this without you guys:) thanks again."

20 August 2020 

"Thank you PG without your support and confidence it would have been very difficult. You made this journey very easy. You are a great teacher, very calm and patiently teaches everything."

02 March 2020 

"The best driving school I had! "Why could I say that? Well, when I first looked up for a driving school I was trying to find cheap deals. I did find one, but it felt like a scam. I paid for £280 for 10 hr sessions and did not learn anything. My instructor did not teach me anything and said I will only learn after 40hrs with him. I was really frustrated as I am a first time driver and no idea of how things should go aside from the theory test I had taken."

"As desperate as I was, I looked for the best driving school I can find in the browser. Lo and behold, Elite came up as first. I booked a trial session with Pierluigi for an hour and a half. Now, I got my Pass certificate! Thank you so much! I couldn’t be more grateful to have the amazing instructor and driving school backing me up! Also, when Pierluigi was not available, fully booked and I needed more session, they were very supportive and another instructor, Ian helped me boost even more my confidence taught me more techniques."

"Definitely, a thumbs up for Elinte for being the best driving school!"

10 February 2020  

"I passed first time with Pierluigi, something I thought I could never do due to my lack of confidence. Pier is very patient and has a teaching technique that makes the most complex manoeuvres very easy. He also knows how to build your confidence by constantly encouraging you and taking you out of your comfort zone. I must say I really enjoyed my lessons with Pier and I am grateful to him for what I have achieved."

23 December 2019

After 4 lessons the improvement was dramatic. Huge thanks to Pierluigi and Ella-louise on reception who was so helpful and prompt at coming back to me."

I would highly recommend Paul to anyone wanting to learn to drive, in particular if you are anxious about driving as my daughter was to start with!"

10 July 2019

"Pierluigi was a fantastic instructor! I have had previous lessons with other driving schools however I have never felt as comfortable and relaxed as I did with Pierluigi. He made me feel confident in my own driving and if I made any mistakes he explained calmly and in detail where I had gone wrong. Anyone who is a nervous driver or struggles with driving confidence should go with Elite! I screamed with happiness when I passed my test and couldn’t have done it without their help! And flexible with lesson hours as well! Will be recommending to all my friends and family."

08 July 2019

"Having struggled to learn to drive with a different driving school, I was worried I would ever pass my test. I would rush, over think, and panic but here I am now, with a licence and it’s all thanks to Pierluigi at Elite. Not only was he friendly, calm and professional he also was a great person to help build my confidence when driving. I highly recommend Elite and in particular Pierluigi to anyone looking for an automatic instructor. I’m thrilled finally to have my independence and the confidence to drive in my own car."

19 June 2019

"I transferred from one driving instructor to Pierluigi and he was excellent. He took me around the test routes and made me fully prepared to take my test in my own car so now I can drive my car to the best of my abilities. Would highly recommend."

19 June 2019

"Well I have to say I have had a great experience with Elite. My instructor was the fabulous Pierluigi capparella. I never thought I'd be driving as I suffer with anxiety, well pier mad me feel comfortable. If ever I doubted myself or asked questions he would encourage and answer with good detail. Not to many lessons later I passed 1st time with no minors.. I will miss our lessons, I honestly can't thank you enough Hayley x."

I wish Elite and my instructor all the best for future."

10 June 2019

"IRelieved to have passed my driving test in the first attempt. Piereluigi, my instructor was very meticulous and professional in his approach and made sure I corrected my driving style to suit the needs of this country. His teaching is tailored to the needs of the driver. Apart from being an awesome instructor, he is a genuinely good person. Thanks again Peirluigi and Elite. I wish you all the best in your endeavors as you help people get through the DVLA test."

6 June 2019

"I have had a great experience with Elite. My instructor Pierluigi was very calm, even in some dangerous situations, patient and constructive in his comments. When I asked questions, he answered them in good detail even if they had been asked before, and helped me to fix the errors I was making, this gave me confidence throughout my driving lessons. I felt well prepared for the test, in the days aproaching it, due to covering the whole syllabus, and passed first time with two minor faults. I would strongly recommend Pierluigi to anybody. Thank you very much."

31 April 2019

"Absolutely thrilled to have passed my driving test (Automatic) on the first attempt!"
"When I first started the classes with Pierluigi I was really poor and lost in many ways but with his guidance I managed to streamline my driving skills and unlearn certain things while learning a lot more to be able to do a good job to pass the exam at the first go. Pierluigi is a calm guy who would watch me carefully and point out what I was doing wrong and do it in a way that I would be open to learn without any worries. The best part is the things that I would do wrong would be repeated constantly till I got it right!!! Perseverance and hard work is just not for the driver but also the instructor and Pierluigi stands out because he has these two qualities in abundance!
Fantastic guy in general as well and would definitely recommend him and Elite Driving School to any one else looking to learn how to drive!"

01 November 2018

"My instructor was amazing and I will definitely be recommending to Everyone I can. Passed on my first test with Pierluigi and only got 4 minors. The improvements he got me to make in my driving in only ten lessons was amazing and I honestly don’t think I could have passed so quick and made such improvements with someone else. I always felt comfortable and that I was being shown everything I needed to be shown where I was going wrong. I went for lessons to pass my driving test but enjoyed going for the lessons with Pierluigi and am honestly going to miss having them."

01 November 2018

"I had PJ as my instructor who was very thorough and made sure that I was completely ready for the test. With his professional help I was able to pass first time.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone."

"From start to finish, Elite were fantastic! I was very lucky to have been allocated Pierluigi as my driving instructor. Pierluigi is flexible, to the point and an excellent teacher. I passed my test first time with only three lessons. It was a challenge as I was under a time restraint needing to pass the test for a new job. Pierluigi was dedicated in helping me achieve this, applying a straight forward approach and patience. I would highly recommend Elite and couldn't speak highly enough of Pierluigi."

16 September 2018

"I have had 3 instructors over the years of me learning to drive on and off but learning with PJ was completely different. He made it a fun experience and taught me exactly everything within a short timespan. 110% recommend him and Elite. I have already passed on his number to my friend who is thinking of learning."

14 September 2018

"The first time I did my driving lessons was tough, it meant trying to find a good instructor who’s teaches well and really gives you the time and patience because you don’t want your money to go to waste. Through the Elite driving school I was assigned PJ as my instructor. The first words that come to mind when you are with PJ is patience, passion and dedication. He will notice your weak points and encourage you to self learn these errors and reflect on how you can do better, he will go above and beyond to prioritise your lessons and will be willing to make himself flexible because he will trust in you before you trust your own driving and suddenly you have a newfound confidence on the road. I highly recommend this driving school and I strongly advise you that you get PJ as an instructor because your money, time and most importantly your road safety will be in great hands."

He was happy to help me where I needed the extra tips and practice manoeuvres when I needed to brush up on skills. 5*."

13 June 2018

"I have just passed my driving test and would like to thank Pierluigi for his guidance and his professionalism.

I honestly believe that I wouldn’t had passed if it weren’t for he’s consistent support, advice and guidance. He was very friendly and will make you feel more than comfortable behind the wheel! Is there is any elements you are unsure with he will ensure that he goes over it with you again and again until you feel comfortable with it. He is patient and welcomes you to make mistakes so you can have the option to learn from them! I will miss my lessons with Pierluigi but I am so happy that I have finally passed my driving test and can now be on the road alone! As stated wouldn’t had done this without Pierluigi and honestly cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Pierluigi once again."

He's very knowledgeable, patient, and teaches so differently to what i'd experienced before. Not only did I pass my test first time, but my girlfriend has commented about how confident I seem behind the wheel compared to how she was after passing her test, and I'm loving driving. If you want a great learning to drive experience I strongly recommend ELITE and Pierluigi!"

"Hi."
"My name is Isma and I passed my driving test with the help of driving instructor PJ. He really taught me well. I learnt a lot from him. He focused to work on my weaknesses which the other driving instructors did not. He gave me so much confidence which I lost due to failing the test for the 1st time. He encouraged me and supported me throughout. It was due to his exceptional teaching skills and faith in me that I regained my lost confidence and I passed my test on 18th Jan,18. Without PJ it would not have been possible. I was so so so so happy when I told him and made him feel proud as his efforts and my hard work became the key to success.
I highly recommend PJ as driving instructor for Elite driving school."
