Reviews of Driving Innovation

Gautam is the BEST. I passed my practical driving test yesterday - first time with only 2 minors. He was so supportive in all my lessons, and is so kind and patient. He helped me progress at the perfect rate, not rushing things but also not having too many repetitive lessons. He always made sure I was comfortable with my progress and regularly checked to see if I had any questions. I would always look forward to my lessons and he made me LOVE driving. I feel so much more confident and safer on the road. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Gautam has been the most wonderful and patient driving instructor that I could have ever hoped for. 5/5 stars doesn’t seem enough as he is so lovely, positive and calm. He has taught me so much and has given me so much confidence. I could not possibly recommend him and his company enough. Genuinely THE BEST DRIVING INSTRUCTOR EVER!!!

Gautam has been an amazing instructor. He is very calm, patient and explains things in the easiest way possible. He is also very good at motivating his students. He made pork pie roundabout so easy to navigate through. I previously had bad experiences with other instructors in Leicester. I would 100% recommend Gautam to anyone looking for driving instructor.

I passed my driving test today with the support of Gautam. I'm blessed to have such a patient, kind and professional instructor, who taught me and guided me with different strategies all the way. I'm not a smart person, but he always knows some good ways to make me understand the essential techniques. He gave me handy tips for my theory test and he showed me how to drive safely on the road. He not only teaches the skills I need, but also the right attitudes to be a good driver. He makes me think positively so that I can stay calm and learn from mistakes. I really feel grateful for his teaching. If anyone needs an instructor, I will definitely recommend Gautam.

I would absolutely recommend Driving Innovation to anyone learning to drive! I initially was learning with another instructor from a different company and was finding driving really difficult and had little confidence. Since switching to Gautam I found driving a COMPLETELY different experience. Due to his patience and support he made me feel so much more confident and I progressed so much in such a short time! Thank you Gautam for all your time, dedication and making the whole experience feel so personal, it really is appreciated

Had an absolutely excellent instructor Gautam who I could not recommend more. He was extremely patient when I struggled to pick concepts up, supportive when I was having problems with stress and extremely knowledgeable; there was nothing I felt unprepared for when I went to do the test. His passion for what he does is evident and he always found time for my lessons around my often hectic schedule. Can't thank him enough!

I passed my driving test from Wigston test centre today. Gautam has been both my instructor and mentor, he not only taught me driving but helped me with my confidence and anxiety. His teaching and instructing methods are very simple and effective. He made learning manoeuvre so easy and also helped me gain good understanding of reversing which was my biggest weak area and today in my test his methods played a vital role and helped me secure my driving test PASS! Thankyou so much Gautam for being a wonderful person and an amazing and skillful instructor. I am glad I found you - its been a pleasant journey :)
N. M.
I must begin by saying that I have had driving instructors before him and have had bad experiences with some as well as good experiences with others but out of the 6 instructors I have taken lessons from he was by FAR the BEST. I wish I had him from the very beginning because I'm sure he would have taught me extremely well from the get go. I have attempted the driving test a total of 10 times at both Wigston and Cannock street test centers and mainly failed due to extreme anxiety that I experienced during the test( I passed the 11th attempt). Gautam taught me to not only overcome the anxiety I faced but also generally remain extremely calm when my surroundings make me feel anything but.
I have never come across a teacher as good or as caring about his students as Gautam. He is passionate about what he does and his guidance and advice is something that will help me and stay with me throughout my driving career. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been taught by him.
He always made time for lessons when it was convenient for me. And most importantly he never gave up on me. Every time I had a test available on short notice he was always very accommodating and always tried his best to make sure I was able to give the test as soon as possible. Whenever I grew frustrated with not passing (as I had been doing lessons overall for almost 3 years throughout lockdowns and the birth of my daughter), he would encourage me not to give up and he had full confidence in my abilities. He was kind and patient and generally just wonderful.

Gautam is a genius driving instructor! I PASSED with no Faults!!
Back in October 21 I was completely broke due to 2 failures in driving test. I was earlier with another driving institute and kept doing classes but wasnt confident for the next test.
We fortunately found Driving innovation site and the reviews were very promissing. By just taking around 7-8 classes with Gautam I was extremely confident in driving. He made me a good driver not just for passing the test but for lifetime.
He will not just take classes but also show the right process to follow for every decision to be taken.
Finally I cleared my test with 0 faults and I feel extremely happy and thank infinite to Gautam!!

I couldn’t recommend Driving Innovation more!
Ahead of my test, I booked with Driving Innovation for a practice test. I spoke with Gautum and within moments I was booked. I can honestly say the two lessons I had were invaluable - if this is the level of help I got in two hours, then I can only imagine how fantastic full lesson packages will be, especially for beginners!!
The level of knowledge, support and genuine care for the students is unmatched - this is exactly what you need in a driving instructor. They will tailor their lessons and packages to suit you and your learning needs.
An absolutely fantastic service 🌟
J. O.
An absolutely brilliant driving school! Highly recommend :)
Gautam is an absolutely brilliant teacher and taught me all the way from zero experience to passing my test today - and despite lockdowns and months away from Leicester he made sure lessons were always available when I got back. One aspect of lessons that Gautam makes clear is that they're not just to pass the test but rather to build a lifelong skill that you will always have, and this comes across in every aspect of learning with him - it's made me feel really comfortable with driving!
I think probably the most important aspect about his approach to lessons is he really cares about your learning and progression above anything else. Before one lesson I had received some bad news and was in a really confused headspace that impacted my driving massively - and halfway into the lesson I was making mistakes I never usually did and I felt like everything was going downhill. He quickly realized what was up, we stopped the car and he gave me some really good advice and helped me to calm down - and depsite the fact I had used over an hour of his time for the lesson he didn't charge me a penny for it and instead added the hours to my next block of lessons. Thats a teacher that really cares about his students, and thats exactly the teacher Gautam is.
I can't recommend Gautam and Driving Innovation enough - an amazing school that sets you up for success in every possible way!
J. D.
Am so grateful to Gautam for giving me the best driving lesson. I passed today with one minor fault. He was so patient with me, made it easier for me to overcome my anxiety and remain calm. He demonstrated and explained everything I needed to do not just for a pass but, to be competent and confident enough. He also taught and helped my husband to pass. Thank you Gautam.
K. B.
Learning to drive has been an argeous task during the countries several lockdowns and booking the right instructor and test is now more difficult than ever.
One single entity for me who has made learning to drive confidently both informative and fun, that person is Gautam at Driving Innovation. From the moment I spoke to him on the telephone he put me at ease and we formed a connection and an instant trust that dissolved any anxiety that I may have had about getting behind the wheel.
I passed on the 14th of April 2022 with 1 minor fault with less lessons than required. I believe this is down to Gautams ability to read his students and uniquely mould his teaching style to fit that of the individual.
If you are after an experienced instuctor with character, plenty of chat and a good soul who can provide great vibes whilst teaching then choose Driving Innovation. Thanks for the new lease of freedom!

I passed my driving test today after lessons from Gautam.
Without hesitation I would recommend Driving Innovation - Gautam is an excellent instructor. He is patient and thoughful when teaching, and genuinely cares about your progress.
I liked that not only does he focus on you passing your test, but works to ensure you are the best possible driver. By the time I was ready for the test, I was confident in my driving ability - I went from never having driven before, to passing well in such a short time.
Excellent value for money - each lesson is full of expertise and wisdom
Not only is he a fantastic instructor, he is a fantastic person.
s.
I was recommended Driving Innovation by a friend and I can’t thank her enough i do not understand how to deal with roundabouts.
Gautam quickly understood my anxiety and started explaining roundabouts in such a simple way that I can now do them with full confidence.
He is very patient and creates a very calming atmosphere to learn and enjoy driving. He can also be firm where needed but never angry. He has a wicked sense of humour too, which takes all the stress out.
Due to my working pattern, he scheduled lessons around it. I passed my test today with only 2 minor faults and all the credit for that goes to Gautam.
He is so dedicated in his profession and teaching you a skill for life that he would be suitable for anyone with or without any previous driving experience.
Driving should be fun....... is him motto.
Thank you Gautam and Driving Innovation for making me a safe driver for life.
S. H.
Passed First time!! 🥳🥳
I was quite nervous to start driving but my instructor made me feel very safe and supported! I feel that my instructor was very reliable, responsive to messages and was able to book me regular lessons. I feel that I learned quickly and was delighted to have passed my test first time! Would reccomend!!
S. M.
Gautam is the best instructor you can get!
I gave my test in wigston and would recommend driving innovation to anybody who is doing it in Leicester.
I initially trained with 'A......' academy and that instructor was awfully rude and money minded.My confidence was really shattered with her however with Gautam,from day 1 I felt confident.
He explains all the basics to you.He will tell you the specifics till you are perfect at difficult scenarios.He is not teaching you just for the test day but to make you safe on the road,which is the most important thing!
He is patient and very attentive to your problem areas in your driving.he goes through everything patiently with you and even explains things using diagrams...which are sooo helpful.
He makes driving comfortable and helps you calm your nerves with his amazing innovative ways!
Highly recommend if you want to be a safe,confident driver!
J. N.
If you are looking for a driving school then Driving Innovation is the one for you. I passed my test today first time. Both Gautam and Shelipa are both knowledgeable, patience and teach you everything you need to know. it was a pleasure to do my lessons with you both. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks again James
W. A. C.
I was so lucky to know Gautam of Driving Innovation.
After arrived UK for 6 months, I decided to have my own car so I can drive
around to know Leicester more.
I have not drive over 20 years. Do not understand how to deal with roundabouts. Gautam quickly understood my anxiety and started explaining roundabouts in such a simple way that I can now do them with full confidence.
He is very patient, profession and teaching you a skill for life that he would be suitable for anyone with or without any previous driving experience.
Driving should be fun in UK.
Thank you Gautam and Driving Innovation for making me a safe driver for life.
k. r.
I passed today after having lessons with Gautam i was doing manual lessons and found myself getting stressed, so i took the switch to automatic and found all the stress left me i would highly recommend anyone who need lessons to give them a call. Gautam breaks down all his knowledge to make it easier for a first time driver to absorb what he knows and apply it in their lessons.
F. R.
Passed my test today only after learning from Gautam for around 3 weeks!
He is truly passionate and dedicated in what he does - you can tell this guy teaches from the heart. He truly cares for each learner, he makes the effort of getting to know you and adapts his teaching style to your learning needs. For example, I am a very visual person so Gautam would draw concepts out on his tablet and it sticks really well with me. He is also very organised - keeps a progress record of each learner, it was so satisfying to see my trajectory. Most importantly, he creates a safe learning space for his learners - which is the best and quickest way to learn.
A. H.
Thank you so much to Gautam! A genuine and lovely guy who teaches with passion and patience. Made me feel confident and with ease in all my lessons. I passed first time with only 1 minor! Couldn’t recommend him enough, best instructor there is! Thank you again for all your help and support!!
V. A.
What a great instructor Gautam(Gov) is!! I will reccomend him every day and everytime. He was so patience and was very positive throughout the lesson. His techniques in doing the maneuvers were incredible. Thank you Gov for everything. I passed with only one minor fault which I repeated twice. Is a 5 star from me.
R. S.
I could not recommend Gautam highly enough to anyone looking to start lessons. I had never gotten in the drivers seat before the lesson and Gautam has been there to support me through driving the whole way. He lets you decide what you want to work on in lessons and will push you just enough to keep improving without it getting stressful. A great instructor who easily calmed my nerves and has made me believe in my driving skills when I have ever doubted myself. And you get results - I have passed first time with only 3 minors! Thank you Gautam for all of your support, I couldn't have done this without you.
H. K.
Gautam took me in when I didn’t have an instructor and from the bottom of my heart I’m glad he did. He’s helped me so much and helped me overcome so many obstacles I never knew I had. I cannot thank him enough for helping me pass my test but I do recommend him for any driving needs. That I am sure of. Thank you Gautam for everything, I appreciate it so much
R. C.
A big thank you to Gautam without whom I would not have been able to pass my test first time. Throughout our time together he always made me feel at ease when driving and showed such passion for teaching, which helped motivate me more to succeed. Driving is a hugely important life skill and I feel extremely privileged to have had someone as patient, encouraging and friendly as Gautam teach me it.
J. R.
I cannot recommend Gautam enough, he took me from being so unconfident behind the wheel to a confident driver meaning I passed first time with him. I had incredible anxiety when it came to driving, but after lessons with Gautam he put me right at ease. After being with a different instructor prior to moving to Driving Innovation, Gautam is honest, caring and hands down the most hardworking driving instructor I’ve come across and always puts his students first. His teaching is impeccable at such a high standard, I would recommend him to ANYONE. Thankyou Gautam, a skill for life!!!! ❤️
I. S.
I couldn't recommend Gautam highly enough to anyone who is looking forward to start lessons. Gautam is truly a very professional, kind and great instructor, .His driving skills, level of knowledge, support, patience and extra care for his students is unparalleled and during our learning process these are the basic qualities which we need in our driving instructor. I had never experienced in the driver's seat before the lessons with Gautam......yes I started my driving journey from zero with Gautam. He taught me all driving skills in every possible way and remained calm throughout. He really pushed me to challenge my fears and built my confidence that I can do anything. Gautam taught me to believe in myself. His encouragement and professional communication made me feel comfortable and confident enough to pass.
Thank you Gautam for all of your help and support ,I couldn't get my driving licence without you. Infact I find myself lucky to have you as my driving instructor. In true words you are very honest and sincere with your profession.
God bless you
A. R.
Thanks to Gautam for being an amazing instructor. I have manages to pass my test first time with only 8 lessons! Wouldn't have been able to do it with any other instructor.
P. D.
Well, how to start! When I started driving I was so nervous, would have panic attacks in the car and often pull out of lessons due to anxiety. Gautam, was so patient with me! The best instructor I have had. He filled me with so much confidence and motivation to pass! He never let me doubt myself! Without him I wouldn’t have been able to pass first time with 2 minors in wind, rain, and snow and in the darkness! I honestly cannot put into works how kind, patient and genuine Gautam is. Thank you so much!!
t. m.
Thank you so much to Gautam for helping me pass my driving test. I moved to Driving Innovation from my previous instructor because I was not learning anything with them.
In a short space of time with Gautam I had learnt pretty much everything I needed to know and more. He was always very patient and always pointed out where I had made mistakes so I know not to make them again.
I don't think I would have been able to pass without all the help and support so thank you again.
K. P.
To say that Gautam is a good driving instructor is an understatement as he is much more than that.
Gautam is a very honest, knowledgeable and friendly mentor who helped me to understand what I needed to do to achieve my goals. Half of the challenge is having an understanding of what you need to do to become a good and safe driver and this is one of the many things I have learnt from working with Gautam.
The discussions and debriefs provided me with focus and motivation to progress further, stay consistent and gave me a good insight into how important mindset is to overcome fear and perceived difficulty.
Gautam was always great with my schedule and planned the lessons around my convenience. I would recommend Driving Innovation to anyone who would like to like to pass their driving test and have fun in the process.
Thank you Gautam and Driving Innovation! I wish you all the best going forward! 🙏🏽
R. S.
I can’t thank Gautam enough for his support in learning to drive. Before starting my lessons I was lacking in confidence and a nervous driver. From the first lesson he has been so kind, supportive and professional and has given me the skills and confidence I needed to pass my test today. He is so patient and always took the time to ensure I understood everything. I would recommend Gautam to anyone who is considering learning to drive. Thank you!
A. M.
Sheilpa is an amazing driving instructor, so knowledgeable and smart. Helped me pass first time and has a wonderful nature, I would definitely recommend as an instructor.
E. A.
i just passed my test today with 3 minors and that's all testament to what a great instructor Gautam is. he was very patient with me and through out my lessons with him, i felt so relaxed and supported all the way. He really pushed me to challenge my fears and built my confidence that i can do anything i put my mind to. i have been trying to pass my test for the last 2 years, i managed to pass with him after just 10 hours lessons with him. Gautam is not here to eat your money like other greedy instructors, he assesses your needs and let's you know realistically how many lessons you need. Honestly if you are thinking about booking with driving innovations whether it is weekly lessons or intensive please just do, I promise you will not regret it!!
J. k.
I'm glad I chose driving innovation for my driving lesson. I became a much more confident driver as a result of this, and I was able to pass my driving test. Gautam was my driving instructor. He was highly knowledgeable and helped me feel at ease. He pushes and drives you to overcome your flaws. I would strongly recommend him to anyone interested in learning.
M. I.
Excellent driving school. I had Sheilpa as my instruction she is a fantastic instructor and helped me pass quickly and easily, she made everything simple I would recommend to anyone looking for an instructor
F. M.
Gautam has been very patient and is a very good instructor. He’s always on time and motivated for the lesson.
M. S.
I could not have asked for a better driving instructor. Gautam came to me highly recommended from a friend and I’m so glad I took her advice. I passed my test yesterday- and if it hadn’t been for Gautams belief in me and him pushing me to believe in myself I would not have done it. He is kind, very patient, and pushes you out of your comfort zone- he instills the confidence into you that we lack in ourselves at times. The lessons are positive and fun and if you make mistakes he is there to help you rectify them while keeping you upbeat. A really wonderful teacher and I will miss him now that my lessons are complete and my test is passed. So grateful - thank you Driving Innovation.
R. T.
The best driving instructor learnt me new tips and tricks, always calm, positive and collective, prices are spot on told me when i was ready for my practical unlike others, made me feel comfortable on the steering, i would always look forward to my lessons now i feel more confident thanks to gautam
Best driving instructor ever 10/10 would definitely recommend
o. t.
Driving innovation is the best driving school I have seen. My instructor Gautam is very experienced, calm and a very nice man. I passed my practical test the very first time after few lessons. I would recommend driving innovation to anyone who is looking to pass at the first time.
B.
PASSED my test today with only two minors with Gautham as my instructor. I was very nervous and lacking a bit of confidence. Gautham Guarded me and inflicted a bit of confidence in me. He helped me on the areas I was not confident in. He’s a very friendly and easy to get on with. He was very patient with me in situations where some instructors might’ve not been patient at. After a couple hours I was driving like an experienced driver. Would recommend Driving Innovation to anyone regardless of your driving experience because one thing for certain, Gautham will do his absolute best to ensure you pass.
S. P.
Whilst I was learning to drive, I had a few driving instructors. Gautam has been by far the best. He was incredible considerate and patient, especially when explaining manoeuvres and areas I didn’t understand. It’s clear that Gautam really cares about his pupils as he understood my struggles and anxieties about driving and was still able to put me at ease. He definitely gave me the confidence to pass my test and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor
A. D.
I booked ten hours worth of driving lessons with Gautam and he is absolutely amazing. He kept me extremely calm whilst also being really thorough with my driving skills. He goes through absolutely everything with you before your test and really helped me perfect everything. I passed with 0 minors which I’m absolutely over the moon with ! Thank you Gautam for all the help you gave me to pass my test ! Highly recommended to anyone :)

Driving Innovation and Gautam are a fantastic driving school and instructor. I had a very little amount of time to learn to drive due to having my test booked in Leicester, but had just accepted a job down in Cambridge. Firstly Gautam accepted me with only two weeks to get test ready, after understanding my situation and that due to the back log of tests, if I was not ready for the test it may be sometime before I could take another. Lessons were always planned accordingly and focused very much on the things that we both felt I needed to work on. Gautam was able to work with me and get me test ready within the two weeks and resulting in me passing first time. He was extremely considerate and patient whenever mistakes were made during a lesson and always explained how I could become a better driver etc. He gave me the confidence I needed on the test day as I did begin to think that maybe I was out of my depth in terms of learning in two weeks. However the confidence and guidance given clearly worked allowing me to pass first time. Couldn't recommend Gautam or Driving Innovation enough, they care, they teach well and Gautam is all in all a top bloke. Definitely recommend!
R. M.
Gautam provided an excellent lesson once I had passed my test on motorway driving. He explained everything in calm manner prior to driving and during the lesson as well gave me great advice on the key aspects of motorway driving. I would highly recommend him.
S. C.
Gautum is an amazing instructor and more than that, he's an all-round great person. He goes above and beyond to help each and every one of his students to do well. He is warm, approachable, calming and so positive. He will work with you so that your lessons have a focus that you are happy with. I came away from every lesson feeling like my confidence had built and that I had made progress. He is patient and explains everything really clearly. He just has a brilliant approach and attitude which is instrumental. I had my test this week and passed with just one minor fault. I could not have done it without Gautum's brilliant teaching and guidance. Thank you Gautum.

Teaching people to drive is clearly Gautam's passion, and I am glad that he was the one who taught me to drive. He taught me to drive not just to pass the test - but for everyday life.
I first began learning to drive ten years ago, and my experience left me extremely nervous and anxious to ever attempt again - to the extent that I panicked every time I merely sat behind the wheel. Knowing that I couldn't avoid it forever, I contacted some driving schools in the Leicester area and didn't hear anything, especially when I mentioned my apprehensions around driving.
I came across Gautam and Driving Innovation through their reviews. Many people they had helped pass had been in the same situation as me. I sent him an email and he got straight back to me and we organised lessons in a manual car.
My first lessons were amazing - and Gautam coached me from panic to be able to do the basics. He was patient, and let me go at my own speed and choose my own goals for the lesson. He never pushed me, or forced me to go outside of my comfort zone but all the while encouraging me to take the next step. He believed in me from the beginning - even when I didn't.
After many weeks, I was still feeling some panic and did not feel safe or happy driving. I spoke to Gautam, and we discussed the reasons for how I felt, and how he and I could work together to combat them. One day, he suggested I try and drive an automatic. He was never pushy or made me do anything I didn't want to do - he talked through all the options, pros and cons and I decided to try it. It was amazing, and Gautam's support and knowledge was really helpful, he understood my needs even before I did. A few months (and many many parking attempts) later and I passed on my first attempt.
As an experienced teacher, Gautam understands his learners and will work with them to help them learn. As a very visual learner he was more than happy to show me as many pictures and drawings as I needed to understand, and do the same manoeuvre over and over until I felt happy. His communication was always excellent and he was always honest about his availability, my areas of strengths and weaknesses, how many lessons he thought I needed, and my progression. He taught me to believe in myself, and learning to drive has made me infinitely more confident.
F. O.
Guatum is an excellent driving instructor. His qualities are ideal for dealing with nervy beginner drivers. He always remains calm even when you make errors and this calmness transmits to the learner. He also has endless patience, never making you feel rushed and allowing you to progress at your own pace. Cannot recommend enough.
K. M.
I had just moved here from Hong Kong and approached Gautam for a crash course. I lacked the confidence and was total nervous wreck when I started but Gautam was very patient and supportive. He was always calm and explained everything clearly. His light talks and humour helped put me eat ease during each driving session. His little driving/parking tips are total gems. I am really glad I found Driving Innovation and Gautam. I would, without any doubt, highly recommend him to anyone.
U. E.
Passed my test today with 3 minor faults and am over the moon about this. I never believed one bit in my abilities neither did I have the confidence to even attempt a test especially after my former instructor made sure I had no confidence left in me but with Gautam as instructor, It became an entirely different story.
Thank you so much Gautam for your support, advice, encouragement and most importantly for your patience. You really are good at what you do and I am definitely referring everyone I know who needs driving lessons in Leicester to you.
Thanks a million times.
M. R.
Driving Innovation has helped me to pass my driving test IN 2 MONTHS! Excellent teaching style which suits various types of learners. In the last week, I had 2 lessons everyday which I believe has contributed to the positive outcome. Enjoyed learning this life skill. Definitely worth the time and money.
R. L.
I'm so thankful to have had Gautam at Driving Innovation, as my instructor. After 10 years of false starts with different instructors Gautam's, guidance, teaching and support has been incredible, I couldn't have passed first time without him. I learnt and progressed so much in each lesson, which is down to Gautam's gift as a wonderful teacher. Gautam patience has helped me to overcome my anxiety. He has pushed me to believe I could do it and I'm truly grateful to have learnt from the best. He is superb instructor and a genuinely lovely person. Thank you Gautam.
C. M.
I want to use this opportunity to thank Mr Gautam for the support he gave me whilst instructing me to drive. I passed my practical driving test from first attempt. His encouragements,professional communication makes me feel comfortable and confident enough to pass.
J. P.
Just want to say a massive thank you to Gautam Seth. An excellent instructor with perfect confidence, communication good teaching skill and positivity. Gautam is friendly,calm ,had lots of patience and was able to make things easier to understand and made me the best and safest driver possible. I couldn’t have been able to pass without his guidance and support. Highly recommend him. Thank you so much Gautam Seth and driving innovation.
l. r.
Couldn’t recommend Guatam enough ! After having a nervous instructor before hand it knocked my confidence but he was calm and helped me with anything I was unsure about which gave me my confidence back whilst driving. I would highly recommend anyone to use driving innovation especially if you’ve had bad instructors in the past or even if your just getting started they will teach you the best way possible, a fantastic experience start to finish thanks again Guatam !
T. “. S.
I would highly recommend Guatam as an instructor. He is not only professional, but he has this calming demeanor about him that makes you feel comfortable and at ease while driving. I am an experienced driver from the states and needed to learn how to drive over here. Narrow Roads and Roundabouts made me really nervous, but Gautam taught me the rules of the road and helped me to gain confidence with his encouraging teaching style. Because of that, I am happy to say that I passed my driving test today. If you are looking for an instructor that makes you feel at ease while driving and who does not put you down, but instead teaches you in an encouraging way, then Guatam is the instructor for you.
L. M. M.
First of all, if you are reading these reviews looking for an instructor - then look no more. Without any doubts, Driving Innovation is the right place for everyone who wants to learn how to drive.
Suffering from spacial disorder and anxiety, I was one of the learners who didn’t pass the exam from the first time and one thing which wasn’t mentioned about Gautam is his support and kindness shown in these difficult moments. He will lift you up, make sure you are alright, will assess the learnings of the mistake done and will assure you that everything will be OK - which will be - as I am proud to say that today, thanks to Gautam, I’ve passed my driving test with 3 minor faults.
I’ve learned how to drive with Gautam from the scratch and I couldn’t wish for a better driving instructor. Gautam is the definition of patience. He will go above and beyond for his learners and to say that he is a good instructor is an understatement. He is the BEST instructor and I will recommend him and Driving Innovation any time. Thank you again!
A. A.
Well lots to be said. If you are looking for a calm professional instructor, this is the correct place to look. I was in a complete miss especially roundabouts, Gautam has a very kind a calming method, yet professional with providing constructive feedback. He will push you out of your comfort zone, because you could do more, safely. I passed my test today, so grateful!
R. C.
Highly recommend Driving Innovation. Gautam is a quality instructor, helping me to pass first time. You'll struggle to find better.
Thanks again.
O. M.
After having lessons with an instructor that only taught me how to drive in the first and second gear I decided to change my driving instructor and I couldn't make a better decision than that. My experience with driving innovation was brilliant. Colin was so helpful and responded to all my queries within an hour. My instructor Gautam was the best and taught me everything I needed to know in 30 hours, I took some additional lessons to gain more experience and passed my test yesterday with only one minor fault. He was really supportive and patient with me and focused on the mistakes that I made and his way of teaching was brilliant. I enjoyed every single lesson and never felt bored.He is such a positive person and focused on building my confidence and making me a safe driver for life. If you are looking for an experienced,knowledgeable,understanding,patient and positive driving instructor I would definitely recommend Gautam. Thank you so much Driving Innovation and especially Gautam for the excellent experience :)

Would like to thank Gautam for the ongoing support and determination to help me pass. Very professional yet conversational and makes you feel comfortable and confident enough to pass. Thanks to Gotham I have passed my driving test today and would certainly recommend him to all my friends and family going forward.

I would highly recommend Gautham as an instructor. His calm mannerism and approach was very helpful in giving me the confidence to pass. He has a great ability to get the learner to have an insight about their driving and how it needs to improve. He is a great teacher overall and the steady progress with each lesson was testimony to this.

Gautham is an absolutely fantastic instructor who got me passed with only one minor. I highly recommend him as he is exceptionally patient, calm and very good at explaining the do’s and don’ts. He is always on time, professional and reliable. Overall he is one of the best instructor one can ask for in Leicester.
G. K.
Honestly, I’ve got no words to express how grateful I am to Gautum for being my driving instructor. He is the best ever driving instructor anyone could ever get. Teaches you in a very calm manner, whenever you do something wrong he’ll explain that in a way that you won’t make that mistake ever again and when you drive well he praises you and encourages you to keep on performing well and to be a save driver on the road. It was very hard to book my test but Gautum helped me out, he was very flexible with the lesson times. It been an amazing journey soo farrrrr. I’ve passed in my first go, I was nervous which is good but I wasn’t stressed because Gautum was my instructor and he taught me well. Not only he teaches you how to drive but also give you life lessons and builds your confidence.
5 stars are not enough to express how good Gautum is. THANK YOUU SOO SOO MUCHHH GAUTUM :))

I had an absolutely fantastic experience learning to drive from scratch with Gautam and Driving Innovation. My instructor Gautam is stern yet positive when it comes to teaching, very supportive and not afraid to tell you your mistakes. Scheduling lessons was quick and very flexible especially in the run up to the test.
After not passing my first test due to nerves, Gautam sat me down for about 20 minutes to run through the test and make sure I was okay. I really appreciated his style of teaching and particularly his honesty on progress, telling me to only have three more lessons as he deemed me test-ready, as opposed to trying to get me to have more lessons and spend more.
5/5 would 100% recommend to anyone looking for driving lessons in Leicester
K. F.
I’ve jumped from a few driving instructors but Gautam has been by far the best. I can’t even believe it today I have passed with 3 minors!. Supportive and always looks out for his students, is always calm I could go on but he is a very good instructor!
K. E.
Gautam helped me learn a lot, he didn't stop at giving the 'what' but also patiently gave the 'whys'. Whenever I'm driving, his voice is there in my head to guide me - that's how super his teaching is. He is timely, courteous, kind and empathetic. I recommend him any day! Thank you so much Gautam :)
S. K.
Amazing teacher, patient and calm and fair. Gave me my confidence in driving. Passed yesterday with 5 minors. Highly recommend!!!
S. C.
Couldn't recommend Gautam and Driving Innovation enough. Fantastic instructor and a great guy all round. Very encouraging, calming and so easy to get on with. Honestly could not have asked for a better instructor!
M. K.
Gautam was my driving instructor and I have had the most confident and positive driving experience with him. I passed my test within a short period of time and bought a car immediately. He is trustworthy, calm, flexible, easy to understand, easy to communicate with and easy to learn from.
Would highly recommend!!

Where so I start, during this pandemic everyone was struggling to book their practical tests Gautam sorted all this out for me, he also prepared me for the practical test as I was in need of a driving instructor at that time. With 20 hours to cover Gautam went through all my weak points one thing I struggled with was roundabouts Gautam explained this topic to me in many different ways and made sure I understood how roundabouts works and the theory behind it. He was a very flexible instructor as i was busy preparing for uni he worked around my busy times and made sure I understood everything about the safety of the roads. His teaching method truly makes you understand the roads, he will make you feel comfortable and will not mind if you ask him to repeat himself.
Thank you so much Gautam and the innovation team!!!
He was really happy when I passed he had to do his celebration scream, pretty sure we were both as happy as each other when I got the Pass. I even got a card from him and he unveiled the good news to my mum. Thank you once again.
S. P.
I wanted to pass my driving test before I went back to uni, so I only had a limited time window to take lessons, but Kesh was very helpful in scheduling lessons so that I was able to pass both my theory and practical tests over the summer. Before I had started, I was very nervous about driving, but Kesh made every lesson feel comfortable and helped me improve my confidence. He's a great instructor - he made driving feel relaxed and safe, and allowed me to improve quickly with focused feedback every lesson. Thanks to him, I was able to pass first time!
K. K.
I found Gautam through a friend and I could not have had a more positive experience learning how to drive.
I had never driven before and Gautam helped me gain my confidence and become a safe driver
Thanks to all his help I managed to pass first time this summer after only 2 months of lessons with breaks in between. I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone who is thinking of learning to drive in Leicester. He was always there for reassurance and guidance when I was nervous and made me feel confident in a skill that I will carry with me for life
Thank you Gautam!
L. K.
I did my Driving Lessons with Gautam. I only booked 10 hours (auto as i wanted to pass pretty fast) as I've driven before... Not for a very long time though. Was a little bit apprehensive about having only booked that as i knew one hour would have been classed as my test too. When i Started my lessons, I was very happy with how comfortable Gautam made me feel straight away. He told me when i was going wrong but also praised me when i was driving well. Not once making me feel bad and always letting me know that i could do it.
Well I did!!
After 9 hours driving with him, today I PASSED!! With no minors!!
Can't express how thankful i am for Gautam helping me do it.
Would highly recommend him to anyone!
S. M.
Even though I have been driving for more than 20 years but coming to a new country and applying for a licence seemed challenging, however, Gautam at Driving Innovations made it a simple and enjoyable experience. Thank you Gautam for the tips and support.
s. m.
i have taken driving lessons from different instructors, but i find, Gautam is one of most experience, knowledgable and helpful instructors. He made me understand and comfortable really well, i passed my driving test after taking few lessons from Gautam. i will recommend to everyone, who doesn't want to waste the money and wants to pass driving tests after few lessons. i will give 10 out 10 for his services... thankyou gautam sir
j. p.
Big thank you to Sheilpa for getting me through my driving test with just 2 minors! She was great and i would recommend driving innovation to anyone! 😀😀😀
S. U.
Gautam is an excellent instructor. From the start he has been motivating as well as firm the quality of the lessons are truly remarkable. Having taken lessons from other driving schools I really saw the difference. Passed my driving test !!
J. D.
Had an amazing driving/polishing up lessons with Gautam. He was patient and explained everything clearly and simpler terms. I was very excited with how he was able to lift my confidence after any error that would have otherwise hindered my going forward. Thank you Gautam
L. W.
I had my first driving lesson with Gautam on my 17th birthday and was extremely nervous to be on the roads. Right from the beginning, Gautam made me feel so comfortable and relaxed when driving. When I first began, my main barrier was my nerves, however Gautam went to great efforts to get me past this stage. I completed my lessons in 3/4 weeks, and after only a month of being 17 passed my test with only one minor! This is all without any doubt thanks to Gautam! I enjoyed all of my lessons, and there was never a time where i felt uncomfortable or unhappy. For every single thing i did that was correct, Gautam would always praise me for it and give positivity. I felt that the way Gautam teaches was the best way i could of been taught, with calm and positive vibes and explaining every single thing i needed to do. I was always reminded on my lessons that stressing is only going to make the situation worse, which i found really helped me think more positively about my test. Not only that, i found that I have taken away from my driving lessons some general life skills as well. I honestly cannot recommend taking your driving lessons through Driving Innovation and with Gautam enough, and I genuinely believe that i would not have had such an experience learning to drive somewhere else.
r. v.
Gautam is the best Instructor ever if you want to driving lessons driving innovation is the best
K. K.
Had an amazing experience with Driving Innovation. My driving instructor Dharminder was extremely understanding, patient and was great at calming my nerves. He has been so supportive from start to finish and has really helped me with my confidence on the roads. I passed my test 2nd time last week all thanks to Dharminder. The best driving instructor!
D. B.
I have just passed my test with 0 Minors! Was praised by the examiner on my driving! Most of the credit goes to Driving Innovation of course :) I’m so happy I went with them!
From the time I contacted them, Colin was very responsive in getting back to me.
From then I had lessons with Kesh - He has been an excellent instructor and is someone who teaches with calm and clarity.
He has been very patient even when I repeat mistakes sometimes and was happy to move slots around at times when I struggled to make the class due to having a 1 yr old at home.
I would fully recommend driving innovation to anyone looking to learn to drive from a team of professionals.
S. R.
Gautum was recommended to me through a family friend. He has taught me so much over the last couple of months and thanks to him I passed my driving test first time. I would highly recommend to book your driving lessons with him as he makes driving a fun experience through which I have learnt many skills.
D. B.
Contacted Colin after deciding to swap to a new driving instructor after a bad experience with a prior one. Safe to say it's been the best decision I ever made - my confidence was at rock bottom with driving when I started learning with Gautam, even though I already had some experience behind the wheel. I never really enjoyed my lessons before, but with Gautam I actually anticipated the lessons and I looked forward to them rather than dreading them. Over time I gained so much more confidence and this is all thanks to Gautam, I couldn't have passed without him. I never gave up and he was a very patient, understanding, helpful instructor who will always put you at ease. Not once have I ever felt otherwise. Couldn't recommend Driving Innovation enough - especially Gautam for putting up with me and my fails(!) I passed this afternoon and I think he was happier than I was! Proves it's a way of life and not just a job. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. I had no confidence before, but now? I'm ready to get out there, all thanks to Gautam and Driving Innovation. Driving Innovation are very fast at replying to queries also, other companies take sometimes weeks but DI were back to me within a day. Thanks so much!

I needed to get my driving license ASAP. It was very important to me as I needed it to keep my job. First I booked an assessment course with Gautam and I immediately knew that he is the instructor for me. He was always honest with me, sometimes could seem harsh and firm but I liked his way of teaching. It helped me not only to become a good and safe driver on the road but also how to keep going in life.
I have booked 30 hours semi-intensive course with Gautam. I started from SCRATCH and was test ready in about 4 weeks. I took my driving exam after 26 hours and smashed it the first time. I was stressed, yes. But Gautam kept reminding me how good driver I am and that I could do it. If someone is not afraid of pointing out your mistakes and being honest with you when you are not doing well, it means a lot when you actually get this right.
Gautam thank you very much, definitely going to recommend 10/10.
N. J.
I would definitely recommend driving innovation to anybody. I had Nadhiir as my driving instructor who was always reliable and encouraging making my driving experience enjoyable. Since I felt so much more confident with him as my instructor over my previous instructors I was able to pass first time. Colin was so helpful in any problems I encountered and always checked if things were going alright and was incredibly flexible to your needs. If you are looking for a good driving experience then you should certainly go for driving innovation.
a. _.
I'm so glad I did this. I had previous driving experience from years ago. I would do one lesson a week but I felt like I wasn't progressing at all.
I did a two week course, of 30 hours with Driving Innovation and it was money well spent as I passed first time!!
My instructor Shaun was fantastic. He's a great guy and was so patient with me. He really boosted my confidence as I was such a nervous driver.
I had booked my practical in at Hinckley Driving Test Centre, so we spent most of the 30 hours in Hinckley and surrounding areas. This was so beneficial to me as by the end of the course, I had vast knowledge of these areas and of the lanes, speed limits, crossings etc. So I knew what to do whilst on my driving test.
Would 100% recommend Driving Innovation & Shaun!!
S. B.
Gautam inspired my daughter and she passed first time. Gautam is methodical, kind, focused and professional. My daughter #2 is now in the queue for lessons when she turns 17! Highly recommend.
B. W.
I picked up driving with driving Gautam after having a number of years off. Within our first lesson, he not only made me feel comfortable behind the wheel, he also gave me back my confidence behind the wheel!
Being a person who only does something if I truly understand why and can see the benefit behind it, Gautam delivered every instruction and piece of advice with reasoning that was beyond any doubt and also in such a calming way that I always felt that what he was advising was the right thing to do.
Words cannot describe the calming presence Gautam brings to the lessons he plans and I can honesty say, he is suitable for any kind of person that is wanting to learn to drive. There is not a person of any gender, race or personality that I cannot see benefitting from the wisdom Gautam is able to provide is such a short space of time.
At no point during my journey did I ever feel as though it was a chore and that is testament to Gautam entirely.
I will end with this, our first conversation started with Gautam saying ‘Are you ready to learn a skill for life?’ and I can honestly say, that gaining my license might be the only skill I’ve learnt in his company where I have a certificate and a license to prove it but there are many more things I have to learnt that will stay with me forever that have made me a better person.
W. G. W.
I booked 20 hours with driving innovation and had Gautam as my instructor. Gautam is extremely open, very calm and understanding. I found this very valuable when I needed to talk through what I was doing wrong or difficulties I was having. I enjoyed all of my lessons with him, and I passed my test first time through his lessons.
D. S.
Gautam is the best teacher I've ever had. He picked me up when my other teacher scammed me right before my test and he was very easy-going and reassuring. He gives confidence by improving things positively rather than getting frustrated like my previous instructor.

From previous reviews, I decided to join Driving Innovation for 30 hours intensive course over two weeks. I wanted to pass before my birthday. I originally spoke to Colin who was very quick in responding to me.
Kesh was my first instructor and he was absolutely amazing. He was very patient and made things clear. Even after struggling with reversing around the corner, he was very reassuring and I soon got the hang of it.
On test day, I had Neeta, who again was lovely and very calm. I am so happy to say that I passed first time! A massive thank you to the instructors.
I will definitely recommend this school to others =)
A. B.
I had such an amazing experience learning to Drive with Sam in Leicester, he was easy going, patience, kind, professional but also made the lessons engaging and fun. My first point of contact was with Colin, who was very friendly and polite and helped me to find the best package and instructor that would suit me.
I went on to have my first lesson with Sam and it went letter than I expected! He was very upbeat and also an engaging character.
He understood my way of learning quickly this helped to aid me in becoming the best driver I could be. Through every step of the way both Colin and Sam were highly professional and helpful and I would certainly recommend Driving Innovation to everybody that I know for such fantastic service. Thankyou! :)
K. D.
Me and my brother both had Shaun for our driving lessons. He's an absolutely fantastic driving instructor and would recommend him to anyone looking for lessons. He makes you feel at ease and is always very calm and patient but most importantly he got us both through are test with a first time pass for one of us and a second for the other.
K. R.
I very much enjoyed my time with Driving Innovation. Colin responded to all queries regarding my 30hrs of driving and Kesh, my instructor was patient, knew how to correct my mistakes and made every effort to accomadate my driving time into his schedule, which I was very appreciative of. Although we had a tight time limit we covered everything we needed to and Kesh made me very relaxed and confident while going into my test, which I then passed first time. I would highly recommend Driving Innovation, they were very professional and more importantly I really enjoyed myself. I am so impressed I immediately asked if I could have more time with Kesh in order to further my skills with the Passed Plus Scheme.
J. T.
Shaun is an excellent instructor. I passed my test first time with only 3 minors, after just over a week of intensive lessons. Was thrilled to pass my test so quickly and so confidently! Shaun was very patient and calm throughout the lessons and took the time to go over my mistakes and discuss how to correct them next time. He was really good at explaining things in a simple way that was easy to understand. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive, and I think the intensive structure that we used is a really good idea. Can't fault the experience.
p. m.
I found Gautum through a family friend and enjoyed the experience of driving with him. Gautum was understanding and helpful in the lessons and thanks to him I passed first time. He always pointed out the mistakes I made and taught me how to correct them which made me a better driver.
R. G.
I'd thoroughly recommend taking driving lessons with Driving Innovation Leicester. Although I took several lessons in my hometown before moving to Leicester around seven years ago, I had not taken a test and wanted to be able to pass quickly. Colin put me in touch with Kesh who quickly arranged a 30-hour driving course spread over 10 days. Kesh is a kind, empathetic and patient teacher who lets you take an active role in building and improving your driving skills. He really helped to build my confidence and taught me the skills I need to drive safely in real life, not just to pass the test. Thanks to him, I passed first time!
C. D.
Fantastic experience with Driving Innovation and would definitely recommend.
Colin was brilliant arranging the ride 30hours course and answered all my questions.
My instructor was Charlie and I cannot sing his praises enough. I had previously attempted to pass many year before so had driving anxiety and underestimated myself. Charlie was reassuring, understanding and just absolutely fabulous. Even when I got very sick through my pregnancy, he still got me to pass just in time before I had my baby prematurely. He put up with it all. Thank you so much Charlie, you were amazing!
C. R.
I learnt to drive with both Neeta and Kesh, both excellent instructors who were able to tailor my lessons and the way they taught me to get the best out of myself and the way I learn. I was given really useful feedback at the end of each lesson and I left with a clear idea of my progress each time. In the end it was Kesh who took me to my test and even though I was completely nervous he managed to help me relax and find the confidence in myself. I’m so happy with my experience and would one hundred percent recommend!
F. -.
Get your mind switched on to "learn,learn,learn" and you'll have no problems . 18 hours booked with Driving Innovation under the guidance of Gautam and I passed with 1 minor. Gautam will caress you when you need to be and he'll push you to your limits when he knows you get lenient. Give DI a call,ask for Gautam to teach you ,then start whatching YouTubes,ask him questions all the time and you'll be helped in passing the test in short time . Highly recommend !
J. D.
Passed my driving test today with just one minor thanks to Kesh at Driving Innovation!! He is honestly the best driving instructor, always reliable and his style of teaching and attention to detail has made me such a better driver and thanks to him I am now on the road! A great company to deal with from the beginning and Colin finding me an instructor to passing. Thank you Kesh and Driving innovation!
O. F.
Just passed my driving test today with Driving Innovation. I had Guatam as my driving instructor, very professional and patient. I recommend!
S. A.
A big thank you to Gautam for helping me to pass my test. Excellent teacher, learnt so much from him, helped built my confidence and abilities to pass my test.
M. P.
After doing lessons in the past and not having the confidence I stopped, but I decided to go again. I emailed Driving innovation and colin responded promptly and helped me out with a course I needed, I then spoke to my driving instrutor and I'm so glad I did. My driving instrutor gave me so much confidence, taught me at the highest standard and brought my confidence back in no time, Gautam made me enjoy driving so much. I cant thank him enough for the help he has given me.
J. I. T.
Passed my test today at the Cannock Street test centre thanks to Kesh from Driving Innovation who was supportive, dedicated and able to work around my schedule as I am a freelancer, he was very patient and gave me great constructive criticism and feedback at the end of every session. Their customer service and communication from all Driving Innovation members was excellent. I failed my first time but I booked in an additional 10 sessions was able to pass second time round.
L. C.
Gautam and Driving Innovation are brilliant. I had a very short time frame and Gautam managed to work around everything. He’s calm and collective and gave me lots of confidence when I needed it.
I’ve had two previous instructors and none of them helped me with my nerves as much as Gautam.
Thanks for everything
Liam
M. P.
Very professional company, everything is clear and communication with the company is just a pleasure - they respond fast, explain everything what is needed. Moreover, they were very flexible with time, which helped me a lot.
I was preparing for my exam with Gautam Sheth. He prepared me for exam excellent. Moreover, he put an effort to prepare me for driving after I will pass the exam. He has done everything to make sure, that I will be safe driving alone.
I feel very grateful, as he built my confidence and made me feel good during driving. Now driving is not stressful for me. Thanks to Gautam driving makes me feel relaxed.
Z. F.
Firstly a thanks to Colin who i first got in touch with and who set me up on my intensive.
I have just passed first time with no faults after taking a 30hr intensive course with Kesh which I fully recommend.
Kesh is a brilliant instructor who teaches you to the highest standard.
His lessons prepare you for long term driving rather than just enough to scrape through your test and I now feel confident enough to be in a car on my own.
The lessons were very flexible from various locations and times which was something very hard to come by with other driving schools so I appreciate all of the running around he has done for me!
Driving with Kesh you can expect an honest and reliable instructor who gives some amazing motivational talks.
I have left with not only a life long skill but also a much more positive person who has confidence in herself.
Thank you for all of your support!
K. P.
I booked a 30 hour course with driving innovation and then a further 12 hours and I was so pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to pass my test.
My instructor Neeta was amazing, she was so kind, calm and flexible with hours which really helped.
I am so happy to say that I passed with only 4 minors and I am so greatful for all of the support from my instructor.
If you are looking for a really reliable and reasonably priced driving school to take your lessons with, the look no further than Driving Innocation!
J. D. (.
Going into my very first driving lesson at the age of 41, I was not expecting an easy time of it. Fortunately, I found an incredibly patient instructor in Kesh from Driving Innovation. He knew exactly what to do to build up my confidence and skills, both in theory and practice. My lessons were just the right amount of challenge to keep me making progress without being frustrating or too difficult. If ever there was something I wasn't completely happy with, he was always happy to go back and go over it again until I was confident. There's no better example of Kesh's ability as an instructor than to say in just 30 hours I went from a newbie who hadn't even sat behind a steering wheel before, to passing my test with only one minor fault.
E.
Had a brilliant experience learning to drive with Guatam. After learning 10 years ago and not taking my test due to anxiety, he was able to take things at my pace, build my confidence and get me the pass result I needed, all despite covid!
A. B.
We found Gautham through recommendation from a family friend and have to say he's helped me so much. Showed great patience and understanding and would highly recommend him. He's a top instructor and his calming nature gave me confidence to pass quickly. Thanks again.

Pete, what a star....after only a few hours of training got me through my Part 2 ADI test with a clean sheet and a massive smile. Not one error, how many instructors can do that! I highly recommend Driving Innovation, this company is second to none. Just everything about them shines brighter than the rest. I am currently now training with Colin to do my Part 3. How much patience and knowledge does this guy have..truly never ending. Seriously if you are wanting any kind of quality training and excellent results, then this is the company for you. Thanks again guys
V. S.
"Passed my test at the first attempt..... thanks goes to my instructor Gautam of Driving Innovation.
He is truly a great instructor and brilliant at his work.
He has lots of techniques to make learning to drive easy.
I would say that if you want to learn a new skill for life, then book him and if he is busy, get on his waiting list
Thank you again, Gautam and Driving Innovation."
D. T.
After I failed a test with another instructor and being 35 I decided driving wasn't for me!
I heard about driving innovation and thought il give it another go.
I'm so glad I did from the very start at inquiry stage Colin gave me all the Information i needed and did not put on a hard sell like the others.
He made it clear I could contact him with any questions or queries.
Kesh my driving instructor was amazing, he instantly made me feel at ease he is very patient and gave me the time I needed and was very flexible with lessons.
If I made a mistake he talked me through it! His approach is unique in the way that it's student lead, He doesn't dictate.
Oh and I passed, yeh!!
A.
I had previous bad luck with a driving instructor, but when i found Driving Innovation the whole experience from start to finish was excellent! After enquiring on the website, i received a speedy response from the team. I then chose a 20hr intensive course and Kesh was more than happy to tailor the lessons around my work and Uni. Kesh is very easy going and made me feel relaxed from the very first lesson. There was an element of fun throughout and everything was explained thoroughly no matter how many silly questions i asked! Kesh always asks what you feel like your weaknesses are so the lessons are done to suit your needs rather than having an unproductive and rigid plan. Kesh is always up for a laugh which made learning to drive enjoyable rather than daunting. I cannot recommend Driving Innovation enough and hope this review helps others who are currently in the same position i was a few weeks back. I truly believe i couldn't have PASSED FIRST TIME - NO FAULTS without his help!!! :D BUZZING
E. G.
Passed today for the first time with 0 minors, gautam is a very professional and confidence boosting instructor. I really could not have passed without him, thank you soo much highly recommended you.
A.
Words cannot express how satisfied I am with the service provided by this company. Every process from start to finish was flawless. I had the absolute pleasure of being taught by my driving instructor gautam, who constantly reminded me of the great skills I possess, supporting me to throughout my journey. Full credits to him for my success. I honour the amount of commitment he has for his students and his passion for teaching. Thank you gautam!
K. W.
Emailed Colin regarding intensive lessons on short notice. Within 2 hours he had found an instructor able to accommodate me. From start to finish between Colin and Sunny my instructor it took me 6 weeks to learn to drive and pass my test. Fully recommend driving innovation, Colin will take your details and find someone who can work within your times available.
Y.
I definitely recommend Driving Innovation. Kesh was my instructor, and throughout the many lessons, he was calm while i was driving which obviously helped me be a calmer driver. When we would talk about the issues that I needed to work on, he clearly had a relatively firm idea of what was going through my head, what I needed to be aware of and what was becoming a significant sticking point. It really helped me deconstruct any major issues that could potentially cause me to fail, and by the test, I was supremely comfortable behind the wheel and it was no longer stressful or tiring.
The only thing I would tell people is that you need to be comfortable taking the hits. You have to accept a lot of criticism and not let it weigh you down too much. You need to be confident in your abilities while also taking in all these aspects you're doing wrong so that you can fix them. It is just the nature of the situation.
But yeah, thanks Kesh, thanks Driving Innovation on getting me driving!
N. S.
What a fantastic experience I had!!
Booking were made with Colin, which was so easy, he answered all my questions I needed to know I felt like I made the right decision. Then my driver Instructor was Neeta who is amazing woman. If your nerves like I was I would defiantly recommend Neeta. She keeps you calm she is so lovely and sweet. She has the patience and nothing is rushed. I certainly will miss Neeta. I passed 2nd time. Don't panic on your test its just another lesson :-)

Passed first time thanks to Kesh at Driving Innovation
Angela Kirk - posted from my sons Google account
At the age of 57 I decided I wanted to drive, about 17 years ago I had a few lessons in a manual but didn't enjoy it, I found Driving Innovation online and was pleased to find them really helpful, it also turned out that my daughter had gone through them for her driving course. I opted for a 40 hour automatic intensive course and that is how I met my instructor Kesh Gohil. He was brilliant, friendly, easy to get on with, patient and full of advice, after two weeks of lots of driving I took my test on the 25/07/19 and passed first time. It was the best feeling and I felt so proud but I have to give a lot of credit to Kesh, I couldn't have done it without him. The open road now beckons me and I am looking forward to lots of driving visiting family and grandchildren. Anyone out there that is unsure whether to do it or not, go for it.
Angie aged 57 and now officially a driver.

Had a brilliant experience with driving innovation, Colin was really helpful setting lessons up. I got paired with Neeta who was so supportive and helpful. Really calm in stressful situations which is amazing. Couldn't have done it without her, thank you!

Thank you so much to Driving Innovation!!
My first point of contact was Colin who was super friendly & helped arrange my lessons.
I was extremely fortunate to have Neeta as my instructor. She's fantastic, fun & really encouraging! Neeta was very patient with me (driving wasn't a walk in the park like I assumed it would be) but she kept pushing me to do my best, helped to boost my confidence & challenged me in various areas to improve my skills: 'There's no rest for the wicked!'
I am forever greatful to her, especially since She cancelled an appointment in order to accomodate my recent driving test (which I passed, thank god!!) she really cares and prioritises her pupils. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor!
It's not all just driving, we got to know each other pretty well & had a laugh during our lessons.
Driving innovation is the best place to learn If you're looking for reasonable prices, amazing instructors & endless support!

I took a two week intensive course in order to get me through my test as soon as possible. I had haf lessons before but was not at all confident, but Sue was really patient and did not pressure me at all. She was also very flexible and managed to get me through my test first time with one minor. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor!

I have high regards with Gautham, very professional. His patience is unparalleled! Very happy with Driving Innovation! Big Thank You Gautham!

I had a great experience with driving innovation. With the quick responses from Colin before having booked with them and with my instructor Kesh who was nothing but patient and supportive since day 1 and helped me build my confidence until I passed! Highly recommended.

I approached Driving Innovation for an intensive program of training to become an Approved Driving Instructor. This was based initially on search engine results, and upon emailing I was impressed by Colin's willingness to help with any queries via email. I was then given a personal recommendation to use Colin, and so my mind was set on who I must train with, despite this meaning extensive travel for training.
Colin's in depth understanding of the ADI test is incredibly deep. His ability to role-play a wide range of scenarios is phenomenal. His ability to throw at you most things you are likely to see on the exam means that the exam actually felt just like more training. There was no difference in level or ‘awkwardness’ of faults between Colin’s role play and that of the examiner.
I essentially spent two weeks with Colin, and left with an ADI badge. Highly recommended.
S. S.
I cannot thank Neeta enough for helping me to pass my test today WOOHOOO!!!
I had two months of intensive lessons in which Neeta was very dedicated and worked extremely hard to help me pass with flying colours. I was under extreme time pressure to pass my test and with Neeta’s flexible working hours I managed to pass my test in due time.
She adapted her teaching style to suit the way in which I learn best, meaning each and every lesson was productive and I progressed well. There were many occasions where I thought I was driving to a good standard, however Neeta’s standards were much higher which meant I passed my test with only 2 minors! It required a lot of hard work and patience (which meant there were many tears - it was definitely not plain sailing!) however Neeta’s skill as a driving instructor made it so much easier.
Neeta exposed me to many different situations and scenarios which meant she not only taught me how to pass a driving test, but also how to drive in the real world - whatever area or situation I am in! (To put me under more pressure, Neeta took me outside of Leicester which I thoroughly enjoyed and increased my confidence massively)
I would highly recommend taking intensive lessons as you learn much more quickly and progressively and I would highly recommend Neeta as an instructor due to her fantastic teaching ability.
I cannot thank Neeta enough and I highly recommend Driving Innovation if you want to pass your test.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Driving Innovation and my driving instructor, Kesh, were a big reason as to why I passed. Kesh was incredibly patient with me when I made errors during our lessons and because of this, it made it easier for me to understand why I made those mistakes and how to learn from them. Kesh also helped in increasing my self-esteem in driving as I previously had issues with my own confidence, not only that, but I also enjoyed learning in my driving lessons and so therefore, I would highly recommend Driving Innovations for all learners.

I had a great experience with driving innovation. My driving instructor taught me to a quality standard, which most certainly helped me to pass first time.

PASSED WITH TWO MINORS.....
I would like to give a big thank you, to DRIVING INNOVATION TEAM, Colin was the best very helpful and professional. He introduced me to a gentleman called Gautam, a very intelligent and funny man, he devised a plan which was personal To me and met my needs as a self employed trades man. After taking a test and and finding myself unsuccessful.Gautam was professional in his approached and helped me as a individual and taught me how to be A SAFE DRIVER FOR LIFE........ and today I was successful in my approach and passed with 2 minors which is brilliant am very happy and would highly recommend driving innovation to anyone who wants a 5 ⭐️ driving school I personally recommend driving innovation for professional cheap and reliable service
K. S.
I am so glad that I found Driving Innovation- Colin was super quick to answer my enquiries and happy to answer all of my questions.
He originally set me up with Neeta, who was brilliant with me from lesson one- patient, kind and really gave me ownership of my lessons, so that I was in control and chose how to learn and at what pace. She really developed my confidence, always in a supportive and reassuring manner (even when we both knew I was being silly!). She covered everything I needed to know and she made sure that each element was covered thoroughly. We also developed a lovely relationship, which made all of the trickier bits a great deal of fun- we were always laughing!
Due to circumstances outside of both Neeta's and my control, I had to swap instructors, at which point I was introduced to Kesh, which was a brilliant experience as well- he was brilliant at completely rephrasing when I didn't understand something, even if it took two or three times, he didn't give up, and made sure I fully understood. He asked me to come to lessons with my own areas of focus, which made sure I was reflective outside of the car and thinking about what small goals I could achieve incrementally. Again, he is a lovely bloke and I enjoyed the time spent in the car with him. He seemed really pleased for me when I passed my test and I could tell that he clearly takes pride in his pupils passing.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I am so pleased that I passed first time, with only three minors. I am really glad that I had the experience of both Neeta and Kesh's training, I think I really benefited from having both of them, they were ace!
Thank you all, I couldn't have done it without you! First time!!!
L. W.
I was recommended by a friend who booked an intense course and passed first time, so naturally I booked in some lessons with Driving Innovation! From start to finish Kesh was amazing, patient and accommodating and he got me a pass first time, hooray! I recommend them and especially Kesh, you won’t be disappointed!
H. K.
Massive Thankyou to Driving Innovation and specifically my driving instructor Kesh, who helped me throughout the whole process. Very professional through the course while at the same time easy to talk to and get along with. Would recommend to anyone and will defiantly be referring any family members to him.
K. C.
A very affordable price for an excellent level of driving instruction, I had received quick communication with Colin and had been assigned an instructor name Keshan Gohil (Kesh). Kesh was very professional and got straight on with what needs to be done without wasting time, whilst providing a quality service. Sessions were both informative and enjoyable thanks to Kesh being both sociable and having a good sense of humour.
I. P.
I was recommended to go to Colin for my part 3 training, i did have some part 3 training before with another school. But as i went to Colin it was a totally different expierence. Without Colin i don't think i would have got this far. He helped me alot. We had great lessons aswell as a great laugh but most importantly we did get the lesson done. I would also recommend anyone to go to Colin or the Driving Innovation School for any training they want. I feel they are THE BEST. I will be sure to go back to Colin for further training with standard check test.
Thanks again Colin. Really appreciate all the help you have given me and just really happy WE got through it. Will be seeing you again.

What a fantastic trainer Colin is.
I don't know where to begin, I came to Colin around two weeks before my 2nd part 3 attempt after a miserable first attempt I was pretty much at the lowest point of training with pretty much zero confidence. I decided to have theee days intensive with Colin before my test. Colin's expertise and no nonsense approach to training changed my attitude and built my into an amazing instructor and consequently sent me on to pass my part 3 in wigston with a 6,5 I can not thank Colin enough for all his hard work and help in turning the part 3 test into actually quiet an easy test and being prepared for the inevitable awkward examiners and every eventuality and metaphorical punch that can be thrown at you throughout the test. I would highly recommend Colin to anyone who is training to be an ADI. Wish I could rate 10 stars thanks Colin.
R. A.
Great instructor! Very supportive, patient and polite. Tailors the lessons to the student needs and builds your confidence towards your end goal. I would be more than happy to recommend Shaun to any learner.
A. L.
Amazing instructor I have had a few instructors just never really understood it I could off never done it without gautam help he is amazing passed today with 3miners
V. G.
I took a 30 hour intensive course with Kesh over a very short period of 2 weeks. Without Kesh's natural ability to teach me the art of Driving I would not have been able to pass first time with him. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kesh to anyone who wants to not only pass, but feel confident in doing so. Furthermore, as an individual, Kesh is very personable and the lessons were not only engaging but also enjoyable. Many thanks Kesh, couldn't have passed so easily without your help!!
E. F.
I had around 30 lessons with driving innovation, with no extra practise outside of the lessons. Passed first time. Kesh really helped me become more confident and be able to drive to the standard I needed to pass. Would definitely recommend.

I just passed my test after a semi intensive course with Gautam. Him and colin were amazingly helpful and Gautam was beyond patient with my constant chatter and silly mistakes. He was always the voice of calm reason. I'll miss him.
E. T.
Passed my test today! Feel very lucky I had Kesh as my instructor. His calmness & patience really helped me. Enjoyed every lesson, I just can't recommend enough. Thanks a lot :-))
C. B.
A big thank you to Kesh who was so patient in his teaching and gave me the confidence to learn to drive. I passed today with a couple of minors and I know I wouldn’t have done it but for the first class teaching.

Had Neeta teaching me to drive, amazingly she got me to pass my test in less than 8 weeks. She was patient with me even though at time I must have been very frustrated for her. I would certainly reccomend Driving Innovation from my experience with Neeta.
J. T.
Second time pass with Neeta after 36 hours. Lessons were fun and I learnt the ropes very quickly. Colin was easy to deal with when setting up lessons, and Neeta was always able to accommodate me with a flexible schedule. Would recommend this company!
