Alexandra Bella
Google ReviewsHe is a great driving instructor who supported me with my driving in the months leading up to my test. He was always very supportive and clear in his advice when he noticed something I could improve on. He also listened to me when I had concerns and we worked together to ensure I pass my driving test. I always felt safe with him in the car and he was always ready to step in if needed. Thank you raba

Google ReviewsAfter four failed tests, I found raba at Skills Driving School, and it completely changed my experience. He is a fantastic driving instructor patient, calm, and very encouraging. He not only sharpened my driving skills but also gave me the confidence I needed to stay composed under pressure, which had always been my biggest struggle. Thanks to his guidance, I finally passed my test, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive instructor

Andrea Mark
Google ReviewsOutstanding driving instructor. He is calm, patient, and incredibly supportive, which makes learning to drive a genuinely positive experience. His deep knowledge of the test routes and clear teaching style help build confidence quickly, and he always takes the time to explain things in a way that’s easy to understand. He’s also very reliable and approachable, which makes lessons comfortable and stress-free. I would highly recommend him to anyone whether you’re a complete beginner or someone looking to polish your skills and gain more confidence on the road.
