RED Driving School 

My Oxford based ADI Shalena Rahman (Shelly), was the best instructor I’ve had after have many issues with other instructors. Shelly is very patient, extremely kind and guides you through all your lessons whilst always reassuring you. Easily she is the best instructor in Oxford. Thank you Shelly.

Aaron Jones is an excellent driving instructor and I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive in Cambridge. His lessons were always well structured and purposeful, and he consistently made sure that I was progressing and building on what I had learned.

As I became more confident, Aaron was also very flexible in adapting lessons to the areas I personally felt needed further work. He explained everything with great clarity, always taking the time to answer my questions thoroughly and helping me understand the right course of action across a wide range of different driving scenarios.

Throughout, Aaron was extremely affable, patient and easy to get along with, which created a relaxed and positive learning environment while still keeping the lessons focused and productive. He supported me brilliantly throughout the whole process and ultimately helped bring me to the point of passing my driving test.

A brilliant instructor, and an easy five stars.

So happy!! I am a more mature learner only learning to drive at 42. I did an intensive driving course with Laily Alkozai over 2 weeks and started as an absolute beginner - incredibly nervous with no confidence at all. By the end I felt so much more confident on the road and ended up passing my test yesterday 17 September with just one minor! I think doing an intensive driving course really helped with this. Thank you Laily!

My wife passed her practical at Westwickham test centre last week. All credits go to Alaa Kosheta. He was very nice and calm. My wife praise him after every lesson the way he explains things. I couldn’t thank him enough for all the help. I would recommend Alaa to everyone.

I am very happy to have passed my test with only one minor fault, my lessons with Roger Page made such a difference to my driving ability and confidence. He was always patient with me and showed an in-depth knowledge of the DVSA rules. Booking and changing lesson dates was strait forward and quick. Never had any issues.

Patient instructor who lets u learn at ur own pace, allowing u to develop confidence on the road and a safe driving style. Really recommend going with Adiba as she helped me pass my test first time!

Sam Thacker from Nuneaton..What a guy!

I was in a car accident a few years prior to starting with Sam, so my anxiety was through the roof! But Sam picked up on it almost immediately and helped me face my fears of driving straight on!

He never let me give up even when I wanted to! He had faith in me when I didn’t have faith in myself and thanks to the faith, encouragement and extreme level of patience Sam had with me he got me through to my test which I passed today!

I will always be grateful for being able to learn with someone like Sam so thank you for everything! I couldn’t recommend anyone better!

Adam Standage was a really great instructor in Sheffield. He always explained everything with easy to understand analogies and was very supportive even on days where I struggled.

Arron Hunt was great at explaining things and in general a nice guy. Many thanks for helping me pass

After an awful start with my first instructor, I swapped and met the amazing Laura Macaulay! Very patient and understanding! Great with nervous people. I passed first time.

A big thank you to Asif khan! When I first started my lessons I had no driving experience whatsoever, Asif was very patient and allowed me to learn at a speed I was comfortable with even though we were on a timeline for a test I had booked. Asif believed in me and my driving abilities even as we got close to my test and I doubted myself. This allowed me to pass first time with only a few driving faults. I couldn’t thank you enough!

A massive thanks to Paul, South West London, for his support over the years. An excellent instructor preparing me not just for passing my test but how to be a great driver too. Would highly recommend!

I had a great experience with RED.
My instructors Sarah and Stacey where brilliant, pointing out mistakes in my driving, leading me to pass my test first time!

My instructor was Faraz. He was a great instructor who passed me 1st time in under 30 hours of driving. He has a great attention to detail when practicing manoeuvres and has very successful driving techniques which helped me to pass my test. I highly reccomend Faraz to be your instructor, very nice person to have around you when learning

Stacey Kimmis, Thanks so much for helping our son get his driving licence after his previous instructor unexpectedly stopped lessons close to his driving test. Stacey is a very good communicator, always on time, great at confirming dates and discussing progress as needed. She also offered lessons from one, one and a half or two hours, which made the money go further. We are very pleased with Stacey and would recommend her and RED Driving School.

MY driving experience was amazing and its all because of Tirath Singh, since I started learning to drive he has been extremely patient and always helps me to correct my mistakes, he made driving fun and enjoyable and thanks to him I passed my driving test.

Judit veres and raj sandhu both amazing instructors I passed first time very nice people i am very glad to have gone with them made my driving experience so much better very kind and calm space to be in when im in the driving lesson and i couldnt have asked for better instructors

I would never recommend RED driving school ever again. Angela brown / Angie Brown abandoned me a couple of weeks prior to my test and my lessons nearly went on for a year with continuous need to constantly keep purchasing lessons without understanding why. Leaving a pupil 2 weeks before their test after spending months affecting their confidence, shouting, constantly holding the wheel, using patronising language such as “what on earth possessed you” is completely unacceptable. As a grown woman feeling close to tears on lessons is not normal and this went on for months. Started lessons in August 2025 booked a driving test for next year July 2026 and was told in April 2026 I wouldn’t be ready by July - something no pupil should have to hear or be told. I am furious that I was essentially paying to have my confidence completely affected. Took me off course to routes not related to my test area and then told RED that I requested to be taken off course to challenging routes which makes absolutely no sense why would anyone ask such a thing. Very bizarre experience and would highly recommend booking another instructor if you’re in the sidcup Bromley or Orpington area. Complete waste of time spending thousands to be abandoned before my test, I also then went on to pass on the date as planned with 3 minors. Ridiculous - stay far away.

The only driving school that will refund unused hours in full.

Chris Eadon instructed me and taught me how to be safe on the road.
With a personal pass rate above 70% I trusted his judgment, this allowed me to pass the practical test with minimal faults!
A big thank you to RED and Chris for not just teaching me how to pass the test but preparing me for advanced driving.

Had a great experience with RED and in particular my instructor Shah Hussain. I had no driving experience when I started lessons with Shah and have passed my test today. He promotes good driving habits and is really good at breaking things down into small, simple steps until they becomes routine. Clearly a very experienced instructor.
