Learn with DirectDrive

We warmly welcome new or nervous pupils whether or not you have a driving test already booked.

Experienced but lacking in confidence? We offer refresher lessons to those who have passed the driving test but need to build up confidence before taking to the road alone.

Our refresher lessons will help to take the stress out of driving, and will show you how to:

cope with different driving conditions
negotiate difficult roundabouts
drive with confidence alongside other vehicles
drive at night
drive on motorways
drive in rural areas.

Why learn with us?

Our instructors have been hand-picked for their skill and their ability to give clear and concise instructions throughout their time with students.
Our instructors see teaching as a career rather than a job.
We don't believe in half measures. We offer a complete learning-to-drive experience - and take you through each step - from applying for your provisional licence to passing the theory and practical test.

We follow the Driving Standards Agency training curriculum - as used by all major driving schools.

CD-Roms, Books and DVDs are all available from your instructor on request.

Learning to drive has never been made so simple.

Once you have passed the driving test, we recommend that you complete the Pass Plus Scheme. It can reduce your car insurance by up to 40%. In addition, on completion of the scheme, you can claim £70 cash back from your local authority.

Plus he was a lot more expensive. I had 17 lessons with directdrive and passed 1st time. Highly Recommended.***** Kalvin
· Just to let you know at Directdrive Tuition that I had struggled with driving a manual car with my previous driving school and instructor. After contacting directdrive I was placed under the guide of David. After three and a half months of lessons I passed my driving test first time today. I just like to thank all at directdrive and especially David for all his excellent teaching skills, mild manner and patients. Cheers Dave. Colin

· Connor Perra: "I received driving lessons for my 17th birthday as a surprise gift and to be honest my parents couldn't of picked a better instructor. I feel as though I am learning the importance of driving and having fun at the same time. Ricky has made me feel very comfortable in the driving seat and I feel confident that I will pass my test when I'm ready. He even teaches theory on an IPAD during our break. I just want to give a quick thanks to Ricky for his time and perseverance. "
· Yvette Young: "Since I begun my driving lessons with Ricky my driving instructor, I have become more confident. The guidance he has given me has really improved my manoeuvres and driving. Im very impressed with his way of teaching and because of this I have even shocked my self because I didn't expect to achieve the standard of drive that I am at now at. I would highly recommend.
· Charlie Cox : "Just Passed my driving test 1st time with Only 5 faults ! Before my lessons with Ricky, I only had basic previous driving knowledge, he quickly brought me up to speed with where I left off as well as making me feel at comfort behind the wheel. Very friendly, big character and easy to get on with, highly recommended for first time drivers as well as previous drivers. "
· John Sunter: "Thanks so much for today's lesson. I found that the subjects from the previous lesson have been lodged in my brain. For example; the great idea of the 3 spots on the windscreen has really stuck with me and is an extremely helpful tool. I am really pleased with myself having gotten out onto 'the roads' today, leaving the empty car park behind! I struggled a little with stalling especially on hill starts today but your method of offering one last go gave me the determination to get it right, and I did! You've been very calm and patient throughout all my lessons so far and I know it's helped me to respond well when I need to concentrate. Thanks and see you on the next one."
· Andrew Robertson: "Before my lessons with Ricky I had no confidence in myself in or around cars. Very helpful and easy to talk to if you struggle. Now I'm more confident in everything I do. Highly recommended."
· Kane Hammond: "I am one of Rickys pupils for the last 2 months and have already passed! Ricky puts a lot of effort into his students and is not judgemental. I've been taught techniques that will always be with me for the future years to come and I have now referred my partner to see Ricky for lessons and I'm confident she will pass. Couldn't of done this without him so a big thanks to Ricky for putting me on the roads."
· Anna Tozer: "Ricky is my 3rd driving instructor and I have learnt more in the 5 lessons with Ricky than the '2 years previous driving I had done. Ricky has managed to break through my nerves and brought out my confidence when driving. I have now booked my test date and have no doubt I will pass with the aid of Ricky's teaching."
· Auriele N: "Efficient, enjoyable and quick learning skilled lessons. Ricky is always calm and patient when mistakes are made which helps build confidence for my first time experience. Always look forward to my lessons on time aswell"
· Rachael: "I am more than happy that Ricky is my driving instructor, he is very passionate about teaching people to drive and this is reflected in my lessons with him. He is very calm, patient and reliable, my confidence is improving and i am sure he will help me to pass!"
· Adam Zagorski: "Patient and responsible driving teacher, very helpful with my learning progress. Always on time. Enjoy "
· Nana Abrokwa: "Ricky is very articulate which helps when explaining certain theories which only adds to your confidence. I can feel my improvement week by week."
· James Brown: "I am one of Ricky's pupils and a first time driver. I'm really benefitting from his teaching as he has helped me build up confidence in my ability as a driver and helps explain clearly. With the additional theory work done during our rest periods within the lessons it is helping me to get ready for the test when I take it. "
· Tatiana: "My name is Tatiana, I live in Croydon and I am in my thirties. A few years ago I wanted to learn how to drive and took a few driving lessons with another school. At that time, I did not enjoy the experience and thought I would never be able to drive again. I concluded that driving was just not my thing... As the years passed, I decided to give driving another go and found 1st Class Driving School. When I e-mailed them, I specifically asked for a very patient driving instructor and they straight away understood me and recommended Ricky. I just want to say that Ricky gave me the confidence and the right approach I needed to be a good and confident driver. I'm really enjoying my driving lessons now and for the first time I can say that I understand what I am doing and I can confidently say I am progressing because of a great instructor. Thanks Ricky for your constant help, patience and support. "
· Troy Von Scheibner: "Without the guidance of Ricky, I don't think I would have passed my theory test. I scored 44/50 on the multiple choice and 59/75 on hazard perception. Ricky made things clear and easy to understand... Thanks Ricky"
Liz Rusted: "I began driving a little while ago with Ricky. I had driving lessons in the past with a different instructor and the difference is amazing. Ricky is patient, understanding, calm, an excellent teacher, enthusiastic, focused, clear, open and honest. This makes learning to drive a pleasure and I am gaining in confidence on a weekly basis as well as developing my skills. What makes Ricky different is his clear and simple way of teaching as well as his feedback and information which helps you learn as you go!!! "
·Cheryl: "As an older driver it was refreshing that Ricky was so supportive. He is non judge mental and patient, as well as ensuring that he gets the best out of you based on your progression. Ricky will tell you that the shared goal is for you to pass your test and so he pushes you when you need it but also allows you to work at a pace that your comfortable with. I really enjoy my driving lessons and look forward to the next one."
· Highly Recommended I passed my driving test with Direct Drive on my first attempt! I would highly recommend this driving school. My instructor was very patient with me, which was really important. I also found the prices very reasonable compared to other schools. I did my Pass plus with Direct Drive and am now very confident. Chantelle B
