Great western driving academy Avis 

After being ill-prepared by a previous instructor, I switched to Great Western on the recommendation of family and friends. James was great at working through the bad habits picked up from my first instructor, and helped me feel more prepared for test, passing on my first go with Great Western. Would recommend.

Great western driving academy is a great company to learn with! They helped me achieve my pass this morning, they are very patient and mindful, I highly recommend, I was helped by a few of the instructors in the team and they are all brilliant!

I used the 1-2-1 Theory Support sessions, as I had little to low confidence in passing my test. Everything I was taught and had access to for revision I used on the day of my test, I managed to pass 1st time because of this. I couldn’t be more grateful to Steve & Jean for the 1-2-1 sessions. I Couldn’t recommend Great Western Driving Academy enough to anyone that is learning to drive or pass their theory!

From my very first lesson, Simon was incredibly patient and made me feel completely at ease behind the wheel. He has a fantastic way of explaining things, breaking down complex maneuvers into easy-to-understand steps, which really helped build my confidence on the road and helped me pass

Drove with James. I wasn’t confident going into it but his teaching showed me how to tackle all the manoeuvres and challenges methodically and meant I managed to pass my test first time. Would recommend strongly to anyone who wants to learn.

I recently passed my driving test and couldn't have done it without my instructor's help (Roque Rodrigues). He was patient, professional, and always took the time to explain everything clearly and in detail. He listened to my concerns, helped me build my confidence, and worked with me on my weaknesses until I felt comfortable and capable.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated driving instructor. Thank you for all your help!

Simons a top bloke. Helped me from day 1 with a clear explanation of what we were doing and how we would progress for the test. Always good to talk to him and catch up definitely recommend to others.

Luis has been a great instructor for me. He is calm when I made mistakes and gives me an opportunity to try and fix it before he intervenes. Well aware of the surroundings spotting things that I don't notice while I learn to drive. I felt safe progressing through new things in the driving curriculum with him. He also went ahead and taught me things that may not be required for the test but is essential to know when you are an independent driver, for example, how to fuel your car at a gas station. Very patient, informative and dedicated. An instructor who is always willing to go the extra mile to take you to success. Thank you again, I can give you five stars my eyes closed. All the best.

James has been a great driving instructor, he helped me go from being a really quiet scared and nervous about driving, to passing first time! He puts his students at ease and is happy to take things at your own pace, while still being encouraging and motivating you to improve week on week. It was a really good experience! :))

Really friendly, lessons are easy to understand and ended up passing first time. Would recommend!

I had Marcio as my instructor one of the best there is honestly cannot thank him enough !!!

Ive been working with Luis for 2 and a half months and in that time, ive gone from never being behind the wheel of a car to passing my test, he helped me work on my nerves and anxiety, gave me chances to fix my own mistakes before asking if I wanted his advice to fix them. I would 100% recommend Luis to anyone with high anxiety. His instructions are very clear and if you dont get it first time, we will explain it more thoroughly and make sure you understand what hes trying to say. Ive had nothing but great experiences with Luis and great western driving academy.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to James for all your help and patience during my driving lessons. You’ve made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, and your calm teaching style really helped me improve.

I really appreciated how supportive and encouraging james was, especially when I felt nervous. James' explanations were always clear and he made lessons enjoyable as well as helpful.

I’d definitely recommend james to anyone looking for a driving instructor. Thanks again for all your time and support James!🚗✨

Simon is a brilliant instructor, he explains things so clearly, was patient and always helped me feel confident. I was very pleased to pass my test first time! Couldn't recommend him enough.

The instructor was very helpful and made the lessons feel very comfortable and not too pressured

Simon was my first driving instructor and after one lesson I knew I had a good one! Passed my test first try because of him. We took everything at my pace until I was ready for the next step and his instructions were as clear as could be. My confidence grew every lesson and i felt more and more relaxed as Simon was very patient when I was struggling and whatever problem I had it’d always be fixed shortly after. Had great conversations too felt like a mate was teaching me how to drive! Couldn’t recommend him enough to any new driver or someone that took a break.

I was affraid of driving a car for years. Scarred, nervous and never passed a test. Until Mr. Arvind Gonsalves teached me how to be calm and patient behind the wheel. I passed the test at the first try with only one minor mistake. Best instructor to teach you how to drive. I am very very thankful for his patience, and knowledge.

I passed my driving test first try today thanks to Marcio, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. I was extremely nervous and 100% convinced I was going to fail, but he was always so reassuring, calm, and supportive.

He’s the type of instructor who makes you feel comfortable straight away, breaks the ice, and before you know it, you forget about the nerves and just focus on driving naturally. He explains everything clearly, stays patient, and really helps build your confidence.

Passing first time honestly wouldn’t have happened without his help. Thank you, Marcio!

I cannot thank Cruz enough for helping me pass my driving test first time today!

He is a great guy who is always willing to help and provide reassurance when you're feeling nervous. What really sets him apart is his depth of knowledge; he doesn't just teach you how to pass a test, he teaches you how to actually drive and feel confident on the road for the long term.
He constantly went out of his way to put in extra time with me to ensure I was fully prepared, and his dedication is the reason I was able to get a first-time pass. If you're looking for an instructor who is genuinely amazing at what they do and cares about your success, I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Thank you for everything!

Marc is an absolutely brilliant guy, lovely guy to chat to and really helpful at helping me learn to drive, even if he did throw in the occasional joking insult here and there. Manages to work in a nice personality with a good sense of banter and all round just a brilliant experience. If I had to I would 100% learn with him again
