I passed my driving test first attempt today, with the Royal driving school. The best driving school in London, very professional staff and my driving instructor Biggy the best all round instructor I recommend this school to everyone. Well done to all members at the Royal driving school keep up the good work.

Thanks to Biggy for all the lessons! He is a very patient and reassuring instructor, taking the time to really go through everything that we need to pass the test but also be safe on the road. I passed on my first attempt and everything went very well. It’s also amazing to see how the success of his students makes him happy! He was almost more happy than me that I passed! I really enjoyed his always positive attitude and all the laughs we shared while driving the car. Thanks for everything and wish you all the best!!

Excellent customer care. I needed lessons on quite short notice and Royal Driving School was able to accommodate me. Martin is an excellent driving instructor. He was patient and very clear with his instructions and advise which made the whole process less stressful. Passed my practical test on the first try. Thanks Royal

Great driving school. Installs everything you need to pass first time. Detailed explanation on every aspect of driving, which helps to build self confidence on the road, improving your overall performance on the road. Recommended to anybody that wants to get behind the wheel asap.

So glad I used RSoM for instruction prior to driving test. As a seasoned driver coming from the US, I’m delighted with the great advice, tips and instructions given before taking my test. The team was very courteous and friendly throughout the process. I commend the team for instructing me on the nuances of the test and re-enforcing to stop the small errors that we pick up along the way that are not test proper. I passed my test at Hither Green on my first go. I don’t think I would have without the fantastic instruction from Royal School of Motoring. The years of experience and patience from the instructors really showed. Thanks so much, I highly, highly recommend

Passed first time with Aruna! Great instructor, always calm and informative during the lessons and made me feel comfortable and confident when driving. Flexible through the pandemic and when I moved house out of area, I came back to Aruna after trying an instructor in my new area and was nowhere near as good. Can’t fault him or RSM with my lessons.

M. W.

Passed on first attempt (late Nov) under the guidance of Aruna - a great instructor, both calm and knowledgable in his delivery, and a real gentlemen to boot. Thank you Aruna and team at RSM. Well recommended.

A. M.

Well supportive approach from the staff and the driving instructor (Aruna) ,he was very patient and professional towards me and it helped me to pass the driving practical test in first attempt

G. V.

Ian was a helpful and professional instructor from the first session. He would always provide feedback and ask for my opinion on where I thought I needed more practice. I had a positive experience working with Ian and the lady at the office. And I passed! Thank you Ian!

R. S.

Awesome level of service. Biggy was a great driving instructor. Explained all the inns and outs of the test before I took it and passed. Highly recommend.

A. O.

A big thank you to my driving instructor BIGGY at the Royal school of Motoring. What a great instructor!!!I dont know how he does it. He never shows any frustration or impatience, especially when I have done silly things during the lesson. I started my lesson with BIGGY before the pandemic and then moved out of the area, but I just know I had to continue my lessons and pass my tests will BIGGY. His teaching style is so calming, he is very patient even when it took long for me to master certain manoeuvres, he explained again and again in a calm way how to do it, constantly calming me down when I was tired and nervous till I mastered it. He would not give up on me. He was always supportive and encouraging, there was never a awkward or dull lesson with him. His professionalism, customer service and teaching is 1st class. Thanks again BIGGY.

I have spent some time with Reubeon before my driving test. I am not a new driver, as I have an international driving license issued from my own country. He has given me clear and comprehensive understanding on London's driving requirements, as well as tips. He is absolutely a funny and professional instructor. You're highly recommended to pick Reubeon for the best preparation.

Aruna is an amazing teacher. My first lesson was very enjoyable and he predicted that I would be ready for my test in 10 to 15 lessons which I was thanks to his teaching skills. Due to COVID it took me slightly longer to complete my driving test but I was able to pass it first time and only needed 2 to 3 lessons of practice, only to get used to the car again. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn how to drive.

J. A.

Highly recommended! Aruna my driving instructor was a great help to improving my driving, from technical skills, to reading the road, all the way to being a calming presence in the car. You can highly trust these guys to put you into a test when they know you are ready. For me, that was earlier than I expected and I passed first time round. All the best, J.

K. M.

Aruna from Royal School of Motoring School has been a fantastic and disciplined teacher. I have been learning how to drive manual car from him and he trained me up perfectly to handle all the stressful driving test situations. I would recommend joining this school if you need proper coaching to attain your license in short matter if time.

A. K.

Had a great experience learning with the Royal School of Motoring. My instructor Aruna was experienced, clear and patient, and thanks to his help I was able to make quick progress and pass first time. Arranging lessons was always straightforward, and the office staff I spoke to were equally friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend.

R. L.

The best, very good lessons, good price and Biggy, the instructor, is the best! I have a few lessons and I passed at the first attempt in a difficult centre. Highly recommended.

C. A.

On my second attempt I Passed my practical test this wednesday with only 2 minors!!!! This school has been great with me and I will definatley recomend to all, especially my driving instructor who was Aruna! Aruna is the BEST driving instructor you could ask for, if you choose to book lessons here he is your man!! From the very first lesson until the last he has been so patient, encouraging, incredibly supportive, Helped me to overcome nervousness, ensured I was test ready, and just an all around pleaure to do lessons with.. I am actually going to miss our lessons together! Couldnt thank you all enough, its been a five star experiance for me. Many Thanks Aruna. Best Wishes Royal School Of Motoring!! :) Chevelle

Having failed my first test elsewhere the previous year, I was nervous getting back into driving, and had only 3 weeks available for lessons while I was in London. I had quite a lot of anxiety when it came to driving, but my driving instructor Aruna was patient and was very good with helping me sorting out things here and there, without putting any pressure on me to perform. And even when I made mistakes the lesson before the test, there was no sign of disappointment or anything, he just showed me the correct way to do things, and left me to get on with it. And that's why when I took the test I felt less pressure, and could remember the things he had reminded me about, and so I passed the test.

V. E.

Another 5* review for Aruna, who I cannot recommend highly enough. I passed first time yesterday thanks to him! He is a great instructor, very calm (which is needed when driving in rush hour around Lewisham), supportive and fun! I also really appreciated that I was able to have lessons after work in the evenings and at the weekends which other driving schools did not seem to offer. He was always on time and made the whole experience much less stressful then I thought it would be. Thank you Aruna, looking forward to pass plus

R. E.

Recently passed my test first time after 10 lessons with Aruna. Great instructor as he's very patient and very experienced. He'll put you through your paces and identify strengths and weaknesses in order to improve on them. Highly recommend the school and Aruna if you want to save money on multiple driving tests and pass first time!

D. D.

Great experience with Biggy. Accurate, honest, dependable guidance focusing on key areas of development to pass the test! Highly recommended

K. B.

I did my driving license with Royal school of motoring, excellent experience. Good price. Ian was always on time, great communication all along the course, not issues at all. I was always attending my lessons with smile on the face, couldn’t ask for better instructor! I passed the first time. Highly recommend this school and instructor Ian! Thank you!

K. B.

I had a great experience with Reuben. He was a brilliant instructor. He has lot of experience. His teaching style is great. He really made me feel relaxed, he didn't put me under pressure, but when constructive criticism was required, he delivered it in a positive way. His sense of humour made the lessons fun. I passed first time and I couldn't have done it without Reuben.

C. H.

Just passed with this brilliant driving school. I had Aruna as my instructor and he couldn’t have been any better!!! I have had a few in the past and he is by far the best instructor I’ve had. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and he always made me feel at ease and calmed me down when I got panicked. Very thankful to him and the Royal School of Motoring!

S. S.

The school is good but my instructor Aruna was absolutely stellar! He is extremely calm and patient which was very important for me as I suffer from nerves and undet confidence. Aruna always encouraged me and pushed me to keep going by having faith in myself. I have passed today and writing thus review immediately- if you want to pass you cannot have a better instructor than him. Jovial and supportive, he is the reason I’ve passed finally! So happy!!!

R. P.

A bit of a late post but royal school of motoring are the best. Previously i was with 1st school of motoring in 2015 the instructor was not great(my personal experience), so i left it till later and starting taking lessons in November 2017. I had a great instructor Ian Gay. He instilled such confidence in me that i saw great improvements. And with only 20 lessons i took my first test. I failed but what was critical was we worked on the mistakes i made and by my 4th test i finally passed. I cannot thank Ian and the team at royal enough. They demostrated great punctuality, professionalism and overall great service. Remeber your liscence is your oyster to the world dont abuse it or you will lose it.

M. C.

My instructor was Aruna. He's very patient and never put me under pressure. I believe this is very important when learning. He was very supportive and 95% on time. I passed 1st time. I did not feel I was fully prepared on the day but he gave me the confidence. The only advice I'd give is if in doubt: ask... and then ask again.

N. H.

Great driving school, I highly recommend them. Friendly people, and great instructors. My instructor was Ian Gay, and I couldn't recommend him more. He's very friendly, punctual, funny and great at teaching. I'll miss my lessons with him.

N. A.

Aruna from the Royal School of Motoring is a superb teacher. I have previously tried to pass my test a number of years ago with other instructors, but was not successful. Aruna was really mindful of this in his tuition, being supportive, offering constructive criticism and providing advice on how best to cope with the test. In our first lesson, he identified the number of hours he thought it would take for me to be test ready (his figure was actually less than I thought myself) and his prediction turned out to be exactly correct. I cannot recommend Aruna highly enough.

S. B.

I have just passed my practical test and cannot thank Aruna enough for teaching me to drive (from scratch!). Both Aruna and the driving school offer a RELIABLE, CONSISTENT and BEST quality service you can expect. The driving lessons I received were conducted on time, focusing on my weaknesses and being given in a calm and professional manner. Really appreciate the guidance I received - and for more than reaonable price!

V. S.

I pasted my test with Aruna at royal driving school and it was by far the best thing I've ever done! Aruna was super patient with my learning, built up my confidence and got rid of all my nerves - not an easy challenge! I would recommend this driving school to anyone sitting on the fence with their driving! Go for it and you won't look back

E. A.

If anyone wants to learn how to drive please go with Royal. Great service from the office, all staff were friendly and informative. Aruna my instructor was amazing, I could not have asked for a better person. He was kind, patient and welcoming and reassured me even when I felt like I just could not drive at all. Any questions of queries I had were answered by the office or Aruna and I never felt like a bother. I cant thank Royal and Aruna enough for teaching me how to drive and being patience from the very start right up till I passed my test. I would highly highly recommend Royal to any and everyone, the prices are more than fair but more than that you will receive top notch training. Thank you Royal!!!!

O. V.

My driving lessons with Royal were amazing. The lessons were tailored to my needs and ways of learning and each one had objectives that I felt I could achieve. I passed my test first time and feel as though I am a safe and confident driver. I felt as though the skills I have been taught were worth every penny and I would highly recommend to anyone!

I. M.

I pass my Pratical Driving test today with just 5 minors only on my second attempt...*Arun Bangura* is an excellent instructor Royal School of Motoring is simply best👌

M. A.

I have just passed my test, I highly recommend Royal driving school especially my instructor Aruna who was incredibly patient with me and encouraged me to continue with my lessons after my initial failures. Thanks to Aruna and Royal driving school i finally have my license.

I only have positive things to say about this brilliant driving school. I have found the staff to be always friendly, approachable and highly sympathetic. Debbie on reception made me feel like she knew exactly what I was going through and addressed my fears and concerns with care and a big smile. My driving instructor, Aruna, was simply wonderful! He took me from barely knowing how to turn on the ignition, to passing my driving test on the first attempt!! I still cannot believe it! I will be forever grateful to him for believing in me. Always friendly and polite, he was relentlessly encouraging and motivating, endlessly patient, never getting tired of explaining the same things over and over, and was able to instil confidence and calm in a very nervous driver. He made me believe I could do it, and I did. I would highly recommend him. Thank you so much for all your help!!

L. B.

Reasonable pricing for a great service. Would highly recommend Ian as an instructor. Passed my test first time.

C. T.

Profession service well thought out. I recommend Royal! I joined Royal as I turned 17. They offered me free theory training, which I took up. The office staff are lovely, helping answer any questions I had. I used to go to Royal's office about an hour before I had my driving lesson booked to practice my theory, which meant I could spend time on both. Many thanks to everyone there especially Ian my instructor! Thanks all, Cameron

J. J.

I passed!!! Today I never thought I could pass my driving but with the great help from Aruna, I did it with just 20 lesson. Aruna has been very supportive through this journey. He helped me build my confidence and always encourage to take bold steps and learning new things. Aruna always pushs me to learn new skills and explore different types of roads. NO TIME WASTING at all. Thank you Sir for the patience and understanding you have shown during the past few months. 👍

M. A.

I’ve pass my driving exam with Royal School of Motoring, My well knowledgeable and experience driving instructor was Mr Reuben who work very hard teaching my everything I need to know, he was humorous kind. Having Mr Reuben as my instructor was a great experience I would definitely recommend Royal School of motoring to anyone

L. B.

A massive thank you to my instructor David! Having failed my test twice last year, I was very anxious about getting back behind the wheel. I had a very short period of time available to take my test. I'm so happy to have finally passed after only 3 weeks of lessons! David is by far the best instructor I have had, he picked up on all the little bad habits, answered every question and doubt that I had. He made every lesson relaxed and gave me my confidence back. So thank you to David the 'miserable, old man' and Royal School of Motoring for being so helpful and accommodating! I would definitely recommend them! :)

D. M.

Great instructors, especially Aruna, whom I have been working with. Will definitely recommend. Knows his stuff, very open and friendly. Most importantly he was very calm and instilled the same in me. Passed 1st time, thanks!

S. C.

Only good thing about this driving school was my instructor Aruna. I could not have asked for a better person to teach me. He not only motivated me to keep going but made me believe I could pass, which I did! Extremely patient and just a wonderful guy, I'm almost sad that we won't have anymore lessons. The school itself needs to buy a new card machine because it's always breaking!!!

R. C.

Just Passed today, had a great instructor Aruna, took me through everything. well worth the time under his instruction. would recommend to anyone looking for a solid pass and safe future driving.

J. J. R.

The BESTTT you can ask for. My instructors Aruna and Martin were down to earth humble but Really Awesome Instructors. PASSED at FIRST SHOT. Have referred my friends already. Definitely recommended. Thank you and God bless. :) :) :)

R. F.

I just passed my test with Aruna and I couldn't be more thrilled. Aruna was incredibly patient, especially as I have severe performance anxiety and any test riddles me with nerves and fear. Nevertheless, he remained calm and reassured me of my skills and abilities. We spent nearly 50 hours in that car and I know I couldn't have done it without him! Thank you, Aruna!!

M. A. M.

What a fantastic discovery. I am extremely overjoyed in meeting the wonderful personnel at Royal School of Motoring Lewisham. My concern of the hazard perception test is where it all began. Noticing that this school offered practical help for the hazard perception test I made that life changing phone call. The provision of being able to practice at their office got me booking lessons immediately. Now at the office I meet one of the three receptionists Debbie. A fantastic person who broke my fear of this test by instilling into my mentality that once you practice the hazard perception you will notice the scoring patterns. This she patiently helps me learn. Unexpected I passed the driving theory thanks to Debbie. To add she is a great person to talk to. With some driving hours behind me I am just looking to time my knowledge up. I am again at the office and I have another brilliant encounter with Sharn at the desk. Again a very warm, easygoing woman who immediately wins you over with her warm bright persona which comes across as honest at the same time. She in turn introduces me to driving instructor Aruna. The connection is immediate... Within minutes I am driving with a heightened confidence. His teaching approach is effortless with minimum but effective words. Extremely memorable with the difficulty of driving made text form simple. What wins me over is his patient kindness which allows you to relax and learn more effectively. Aruna is simply brilliant and great fun to be around. I am so happy to discover this fantastic driving school. Michael A MckMcKen

I had a few lessons with Martin and Ian and they were fantastic. I had a license from South America but it was not legal in the UK so I needed a UK license. Both Martin and Ian understood this and helped me understand specifically what the driving assessor was looking for and helped me improve my driving accordingly. Debbie was also very nice helping coordinate everything

S. O.

Trained with Royal right after I turned 17. They took me right the way from not knowing how to drive, to now a competent driver! They offer free theory training with an instructor for as long as you want (which beats these apps). Passed first time thanks to Ian. I would recommend him to everyone! Thanks!

K. H.

Thank you so much to Royal for helping me pass my test today. I had an international licence which expired and had trouble finding an instructor who would take me with short notice and without prior lessons. Royal gave me a great lesson beforehand and provided me with all the tips and confidence I needed to pass. Thank you.

C. W.

I passed my test late last year here and forgot to leave a review. Fantastic service and whilst I only used one instructor he was very good. They even go as far to have a really good office front where you can discuss any issues with them and have computers where you can practice theory related questions. I owe you guys a lot.

A. N.

Passed on first attempt. Aruna is a very good instructor. Just do what you've been taught and have practiced and you'll be fine!

S. A.

E. R.

I just passed my test and I have to say Aruna is a very good instructor ! Great people working there ! Highly recommended !

Thanks to the training that I received from this driving school I was able to pass first time highly recommend them.

J. M.

Really helpful and nice people. They did not get bored with me when my course got massively stretched in time and I've ended up doing the lessons for about 15months (all due to my work schedule). Reasonably priced.

C. B.

I just passed my test thanks to Aruna - he is a great instructor - clear, calm and supportive.

P. N.

Took six refresher lessons with Royal after not having driven for a decade. Reasonably priced, great instructor and helpful office staff.

D. C.

Best driving school both my son and daughters passed with royal and enjoyed the whole experience including the help with theory test everyone at the school is very helpful highly recommended.

V. M.

Took an intensive course with ROYAL after being at another one, that I did not like. They are flexible and don not charge any extra money evening or weekends lessons. Passed 1st time. Thanks!

F. V.

Aruna was a great instructor, easy to learn with and patient.. Highly recommend great service..
