Ellisons School of Motoring Ltd Reviews 

I passed this morning with just two minors with my instructor, Adrian Vokins. He is a fantastic instructor, very constructive, genuinely cares about your safety, skill and speed of passing your test and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor so thank you Adrian. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to drive as he has boosted my confidence behind a wheel massively.

Caroline Cox my driving lesson instructor , You are friendly, creative, reliable, very organised, bright and never run out of patience and words of encouragement. Your lesson plans really helped me to keep track of my progress and to understand my own strengths/ weaknesses. I would recommend you to anyone who wants to learn how to drive safely and efficiently.

I passed first time all thanks to Dan. He always made me feel at ease when in the car with him and always had great advice. I can’t thank him enough for all the help and confidence that he gave me. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking into doing automatic lessons. I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor.

Could not recommend Jason Bowden at Ellisons enough! I got into his car for the first time as a very anxious driver, but he was amazing at reassuring me and instructed with such kindness and professionalism that I immediately felt at ease around him. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a first time pass, but after each failure Jason approached it with me as a learning experience and got me into a good solid position to pass on my 3rd time in my own car. Cannot fault him at all - thank you Jason for everything!

Jase Cole is an incredible instructor, I do not have a bad word to say about him. If I thought I had a silly/stupid question or made a driving mistake, he would never make me feel bad and would always make sure I learnt something. He always had my best interest at heart. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

Simon was a great instructor. I’ve been driving with him since september and passed early february with his help. His lessons were very structured and i could see myself improving each time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great driving instructor!

I passed my driving test first time due to the excellent guidance of Simon collet who gave me all the information and practical skills I needed to pass my test, he was always positive even when I made mistakes he would walk me through them and tell me how I could improve them. Thank you Simon

I did lessons with Simon Collet and he helped me to pass my practical test first time. He taught me at the perfect pace so that i learnt everything well, he was very understanding and helped me to progress at my own pace. It was a great experience learning with ellisons and Simon and i would definitely recommend

My son has just passed his test first time with only 5 minors!
Caroline was recommended to us and she has been absolutely fantastic. Great communication and the app updates & feedback have been extremely helpful. Caroline’s guidance & support has been second to none. Would highly recommend

James makes the lessons fun and talks a lot which keeps me at ease. He is very patient and adapted the lessons to suit my needs. Highly recommend James to anyone who wants to learn how to drive!

Thanks to Steve I passed first time. I’ve had a couple different instructors but when I found Steve it was the best decision. 100% recommend

Steve was a very good driving instructor, very patient and helpful.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn to drive.
Steve gave me the confidence I needed and always believed in me, couldn’t of done it without him.
Very thankful for all the help and encouragement to keep going.

I want to sincerely appreciate Caroline my instructor who showed me all that it takes to achieve, be confident and pass the driving test which i recently passed, along side Ellisons for their response at a time i needed to change an instructor due to availability reasons, I say thank you all, you are the best and I would strongly recommend Ellison to anyone interested in learning how to drive.

I recently passed and wanted to take the time to pop a review on here to say that Jason is hands down one of the best instructors. He was so patient and put up with me throughout every single lesson despite my complaining every five seconds and being unnecessarily difficult - sorry again if you are seeing this !! You can tell he really cares about his students and genuinely enjoys lessons. He always wants to get the best out of his students and i couldn’t thank him enough for his support and patience because I highly doubt I would have passed without him. I defined am biased, but he is the best instructor around. Ten out of ten I would recommend to a friend any day of the week. I didn’t care too much when I started learning to drive but by the end my driving lessons were the highlight of my week thanks to him :)

Ellie was an amazing driving instructor! Looked forward to every lesson and throroughly enjoyed every second I was in the car. Never a stressful moment and always so helpful in every area of practice. Hope to see her again soon, have recommended to my younger family for when they want to start learning!

Andy was a great instructor he helped to calm my nerves and make me feel comfortable. I also found him to give clear and digestible advice/ instructions. I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn to drive to use Andy at ellisons.

From my first lesson Woody, made me feel at ease and relaxed so I was only focused on learning to drive without any anxiety or stress. I was able to have a laugh but also be serious within my learning. His teaching was spot on and varied from lesson to lesson so it didn’t become too much of the same things over and over.

I had Paul Hughes as my instructor from September 2024 to January 2025. He was simply excellent. He is polite, punctual, and friendly. We quickly built a rapport, and driving lessons became something I looked forward to every week. He is a patient teacher, finding ways to explain learning points that were easy to understand and absorb. This was in tandem with a wealth of online resources to speed up my learning process that he would personally send after each lesson. He placed an emphasis on reflective logs, and would discuss them at the start of lessons, assuring me that he was working towards my weaknesses to develop them into strengths. He balanced lesson focus between his expertise on what needed to be covered next and my requests to work on specific areas of my driving. Paul was fantastic. I wholeheartedly endorse him.

I had Colette has to be the best driving instructor so nice to talk to while driving(when it is appropriate) teaching all the minor details and has so much knowledge of the road and tips for passing your test

Collette was a great instructor helping me pass first time. She always found a way to make me laugh and also think about what I could do better. Thank you Collette!!
