Honestly I had a great time learning from Haider as he taught me really in details and made understand where I was wrong and helped me adapt my mistake I’ll recommend everyone to learn from Haider as he is a really good instructor as he made me pass first time thank you Haider
My instructor Mobeen Hussain has helped me achieve something that I honestly didn't think was possible. Not just passing my test but passing first time. She has helped me build confidence that I didn't think I had. She was patient and calm throughout. Made me feel comfortable and listened to my concerns and fears taking them seriously and helping me deal with them.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone thats want to learn but especially if they were nervous and worried.
She's been absolutely fantastic through the whole experience.

I had Henry as an instructor and I passed my test first time, he was patient with me and never hesitated to spend time explaining everything to me when I didn't understand. I had a great experience!

Passed first time with Theresa Weller!
She is a fantastic instructor. I took a long break from lessons before she was recommended to me, and she helped me to regain confidence and build on my skills. Theresa made me feel so at ease from the very first lesson. She has a gentle and calm manner that really helped me to grow in my driving. Through her words of encouragement, I was able to feel very confident before and during my test. I appreciate all the help and I highly recommend!
Thank you so much Theresa!

10/10 for Lee O’Brien!
If you want to pass your test, Lee is THE MAN!
Not only did he get me test-ready, he actually taught me how to drive properly!
From day one, Lee gave me confidence and, more importantly, always listened to my fears and never made me feel silly for having them. No matter how nervous I was, he always knew exactly what to say to calm me down and get me back on track.
The lessons were always full of jokes, laughter and good vibes. Somehow he managed to make learning to drive feel enjoyable, even when I was probably one mistake away from needing a lie down! 😂
Lee was patient, supportive and genuinely cared about getting me to that finish line. Thanks to him, I passed my test and couldn’t be more grateful because he knew how much I needed my freedom. He never let me down once, and always worked with me when I needed extra lessons before my test!
Couldn’t recommend him enough. An absolute legend of an instructor! 🚗💨

I had the lovely experience of being taught by Kashif Mahmood and I never regretted it. Very calm presence as an instructor, a great man to learn from. I would recommend to anyone looking for a first time pass!

Andy battersby is a great driving instructor. Before my test I was stressed and worried and he had faith in me from the start. If anyone wants a driving instructor I would seriously recommend Andy battersby

Jas is an excellent instructor who's guidance helped me gain the ability and confidence needed to pass my test on my first try. She was flexible with when we had my lessons, allowing for a time that suited me best. Her patience, support and friendly nature made each driving lesson a joy.

I booked a lesson in an automatic car and they instead sent a manual instructor, and then I requested a refund for this lesson and they refused it repeatedly and didn’t offer any concessions.

I had a few lessons with Hamid, and then switched to Matthew who helped me in the run up to my test, both were extremely helpful and I passed my test first time with no faults! Would definitely recommend

I did driving lessons with Baiba in Doncaster. She was a fantastic instructor. She was patient with me and always made me feel comfortable. Never got angry or shouted at me which made the learning experience very nice. I did lessons with her for about six months and passed my driving test today, first time. Genuinely the best instructor in Doncaster. Would recommend her to anyone looking for lessons.

I’m very disappointed with my experience with Bill Plant and my instructor, Amarjeet.
I had my driving test booked for 2 September 2026 and had been training with Amarjeet in preparation for it. Four days before my test, I was told that his instructor badge had expired and that he would no longer be able to take me to my test. This left me with very little time to find another instructor and car.
I contacted Bill Plant for help, but I didn’t feel the situation was handled with the urgency or support I expected.
I had spent a lot of time and money preparing for my test, and being left in this position caused unnecessary stress and uncertainty.
Thankfully, I managed to use our car and I passed my driving test on 2 September, which I’m very happy about. However, I still feel that the situation could have been handled much better, with better communication and support from both my instructor and Bill Plant.
Overall, I’m happy that I passed, but disappointed with how I was treated in the days leading up to my test.

I really enjoyed my driving lessons with my instructor Natalie. The lessons were always laid-back and relaxed while still being informative and productive.
Throughout my lessons, my confidence really improved, and I feel much more comfortable when driving now than at the start. I’m really grateful for all the help, patience and guidance and I would definitely recommend my instructor to anyone learning to drive!

I passed my driving test first time thanks to Stephen, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was patient, encouraging, and explained things clearly every step of the way, breaking down tricky bits until they clicked. By test day I felt genuinely prepared and calm, which made all the difference. Thanks for everything!

Mohammed Khan from Romford is the best instructor you could have if you want a pass on first attempt. He was super helpful and kind from beginning to end, and flexible with lessons. He gave really good feedback and development tips during lessons which allowed me to progress quickly and easily, and ultimately secure a first time pass. Would easily recommend to everyone.

Completed lessons with David Blyth in Tunbridge Wells who gave great constructive criticism and reminders in order to help me pass my test first time!

Paid for 12 hrs and was given a student instructor who was awful and my son really didn’t benefit from her. We then had to pay more with a different instructor and company which we shouldnt of had to do …bill plant just made excuses for all of this. I would avoid this company at all costs!!!!!’n
