I. I.

The best driving instructor I’ve had! When covid hit, it delayed my driving journey, meaning I had very inconsistent lessons and getting back to driving each time was challenging so I had to find the best instructor. Having failed my driving test 2 times prior, I was desperate to find a suitable instructor to help me. My sister had recently passed after a short time so I thought I’d give Rakesh a try. The best decision I’ve ever made. I only had 10 hours with him but it was the best money ever spent. He was incredibly helpful, and helped me feel more confident with my driving to the point where my family had seen a completely different driver behind the wheel. Every time he gave me feedback, he was always detailed in his examination and wasn’t afraid to tell me where I’m going wrong. He made sure I was ready for my driving test, if he thinks you’re fully ready then your confidence will sky rocket. If you want a friendly, funny, yet very professional instructor, I couldn’t recommend Rakesh enough!!!

I had taken 3 classes as a crash course from Rakesh. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. He works sincerely and passes very relevant information about the driving test. His experience is unmatched and he likes his pupils to pass in the 1st attempt. I will highly recommend Rakesh as your driving instructor if you would like to pass with flying colors. I had only 2 minors and that too due to my own faults.

Rakesh taught me to drive and was an amazing instructor, very knowledgeable and professional but also fun to be around. He was encouraging and calm when I was nervous, never a stressful moment. He helped my pass with no faults, highly recommend! thank you Rakesh

It wasn’t until i had found Rakesh when I learnt to drive not only confidently but safely as well. After failing my first test with my previous instructor, I needed to look for another instructor. That is when I stumbled upon Rakesh, who I can confidently say is one of the best driving instructor’s out there. He cares about his students immensely and makes sure that what he teaches remains useful for during and after you’ve passed your test. I had a lot of anxiety when it came to driving and Rakesh helped calm my nerves down and was supportive and attentive whenever I expressed any concerns or doubts. Evidently, Rakesh has helped me pass my second attempt and I couldn’t be more content with his teaching. I will always remember whenever I doubted myself , Rakesh would say “you deserve the best” and would always encourage me to learn from my mistakes rather than dwell on them. He made me feel comfortable and self assured and I’ll definitely miss those driving lessons. I highly recommend him!

I started learning to drive with Rakesh in March and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. I felt comfortable and supported at every stage, which turned out to be particularly important as I found out I was pregnant a few weeks before our lessons started. He was always encouraging and has a gift for delivering constructive feedback that somehow builds rather than knocks your confidence, which I thought was especially impressive given the mess of hormones I was at times. I’m pleased to say that I passed first time with no faults at 36 weeks pregnant. It wasn’t really the plan to leave it that late and I think I was ready sooner, so my advice is to believe Rakesh when he estimates when you’ll be ready and don’t delay booking your test - he knows what he’s talking about! I’ve since had a lesson with him on motorways, which I think was well worth doing too, and I expect I’ll be back for a couple more sometime after baby arrives to further build my confidence.

My daughter was badly let down by a previous instructor at another school who bashed her confidence and then ditched her after she failed her first test. Rakesh took over at short notice, rebuilt her confidence, corrected the bad habits she’d learned from the previous instructor and helped her sail through her test. He exudes confidence and professionalism and has a real interest not just in getting pupils through their test, but in helping them face and overcome challenges. My only regret is not using GSI from Day 1.

My daughter had Rakesh as her instructor. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!. She has gained in confidence is so many way and passed 1 time with no minors. A 100 % pass!! Thankyou so much. Keep up the excellent work. :)

I was trained by Rakesh for my automatic car test in July 2022. I work in nhs which needs me to travel daily. I was therefore desperate for the license. Overall, I had 12 hours classes with rakesh. He is very professional and gets to the root of your driving technique- technically and psychologically as well, to rectify it! He keeps himself up to date and is available in anytime for your doubts other than office timings! I cleared the driving test with one minor. I'm indeed happy to recommend rakesh to anyone looking forward to their driving test. Wish you all the best!

Rakesh has high standards in driving. He is knowledgeable and experience in teaching pupils. If you can pass his mock test, I’m sure that you can pass the driving test.

L. R.

I highly recommend Rakesh. He has taught my daughter to drive but also built up her confidence in herself. He is full of encouragement and wisdom. He is both professional and fun. My daughter passed first time. He is now teaching my younger daughter and will in turn teach my son! I am so impressed and would recommend him highly! If there was a 10 star rating ... He'd get it. Writing again as Rakesh has impressed me once again! Teaching my second daughter to drive and passing with no faults! He cares so much for his students and he is their biggest cheerleader! Thank you again. Rakesh… you’ve got my son next! 😀

Had David as an instructor whilst learning to drive and just passed first time. David has being a great instructor explaining everything in a simple and easy way to understand.

B. B.

I passed first time with 2 minors, highly recommend Andy, he was great, if you're learning with Andy you can feel confident you'll be taught properly as he's one of the best out there.

T. B.

He was a very experienced driver who made me feel confident at the wheel. He was always calm and could jump in if needed.

E. W.

My driving instructor (David) was a superb teacher. He would always point out my errors and helped me sort all of them out, leading to me passing my test first time. I feel the level of professionalism was higher than other choices. Would recommend this driving school to new learners.

A. J.

I passed first time round and with three minors, all thanks to the wonderful Rakesh (auto)! When I first spoke to Rakesh on the phone I knew instantly that he had my best interests at heart and over the course of time he understood my learning process, strengths and was able to pinpoint the areas I needed to work on. He’s motivational, patient, knowledgeable as well as caring and full of positivity. He’s a teacher who is very passionate about the job, relatable and trustworthy. I’d highly recommend him and can’t thank him enough! Also great to chat to, which helps puts the nerves at ease!!!

K. I.

!Reliable and will be recommending to everyone I know! Oh gosh, where to begin. I had the absolute pleasure of getting Rakesh as my driving instructor and I can’t even begin to describe how perfect he was. In my first lesson with him, he was very detailed with the basics of driving and really allowed me to build a solid foundation for driving safely - always patient and reassuring that no question is too stupid to ask. I felt completely comfortable with Rakesh from the very beginning and the whole experience was just such a joy. With practically no driving experience prior, I passed my driving test first time, with 22 hours of lessons, and with only 1 minor!! If that isn’t a true testament to how good Rakesh is as a teacher, then I don’t know what else will convince you. All in all, highly recommend and you really get what you pay for! Side note, Rakesh also gives the best advice haha - not just with driving, but also in life.

B. R.

Rakesh was an amazing instructor! Felt very confident and prepared when it came to my test and he made lessons a fun environment, thank you so much Rakesh, 100% recommend to anyone looking for an instructor! Swag!

David is a brilliant instructor - he has enabled me to pass my test and become a confident driver. He took the time to focus on and correct bad habits I had developed with a previous instructor. He was clear, calm and logical, helping me manage any nerves associated with driving. Thank you David!

L. P.

Had David as my instructor and had 18 hours of driving with him, worth every penny spent and is very competent to teach young drivers efficiently and successfully. Passed my driving test first time due to his teaching and learnt a lot of tricks to implement into the exam taught by him. Would extremely recommend using this driving school and especially having David as your instructor as he loves to have a laugh and also teach you the fundamentals to pass your test first time!

M. C.

David is an excellent teacher, calm and patient. He guided my daughter every step of the way and made sure she was confident when she came to the test. Highly recommended!

D. R.

Rakesh delivered way above and beyond our expectations of a driving instructor. From start to finish he was professional, friendly and incredibly passionate about his job. He genuinely cared about our son and took personal pride in his progress. We had little doubt that it would be a first time pass and were not disappointed. I would not hesitate to recommend Rakesh to anyone. He bent over backwards to ensure our son was prepared mentally for the test, as well as having covered all the necessary technical areas.This is a first class professional and an excellent example to his profession!

I had some refresher lessons with Rakesh after moving to the UK from abroad and was very satisfied. He was always patient and explained everything clearly. It was exactly what I was looking for with my lessons. Also another thing I appreciated was that at some point he said he thought I was confident (but not too confident of course ;)) enough to go out on my own (instead of maintaining that I needed lots more lessons). That time coincided with when I felt I was ready too. So that was good.

L. R.

Rakesh was an excellent instructor! Patient and helpful in every element. Passed first time with only a few minors - high standard of teaching helps to deal with test day nerves! Highly recommend!!

J. B.

I strongly recommend Rakesh (auto) as your instructor! He was very professional, funny and had a genuine passion to make sure all his pupils passed to a high standard! He puts your nerves at ease and goes above and beyond to help you in any way he can! Was extremely flexible with changing dates and times for me. Lessons were fun and engaging. Passed my Test first time today with 6 minors, thanks to his incredible teaching which is straight to the point and easy to learn. I can't thank Rakesh enough for all his help and support ! Wouldn't have been able to do it without him! Highly recommend Rakesh as a driving instructor and would happily do it all over again !

N. B.

WHAT A FIND! Rakesh was amazing with my daughter. His communication was fantastic and instantly put her at ease, she blossomed under his direction and fantastic explanations and knowledge. Nothing was ever too much, Rakesh helped us as parents guide her through the preparation with the test process and was always happy to answer any questions or just be on hand to help. He really cared and wanted the best for his students. Highly, highly recommend as an instructor. So pleased I came across his details. :)

Z. S.

I had David as my driving instructor and I passed first time with one minor fault! I had about 26 hours of lessons with him and he would always ask me at the beginning of a lesson what I wanted to cover rather than just following a script which I found really helpful. Whenever I got a maneover wrong he would help me correct it and not just move on and ignore it. Would definitely recommend GSI!

M. H.

David was such a helpful instructor, he was so patient and made me feel really safe. I have passed my driving test thanks to him and I am so grateful. I would definitely recommend him as an instructor.

J. A.

I had lessons with Rakesh who I found to be a brilliant instructor I was extremely nervous with no experience at all and he helped me pass in quite a short amount of time I had spoken to an instructor before I found Rakesh and I was told there’s no way I could pass in the time frame I’d set myself as I was trying to get it done before my baby arrived but Rakesh helped me gain my confidence telling me I can do it when I was struggling and laughing with me when I messed up rather than making me feel like I was doing awful. Thankyou for your help i will continue to recommend you to anyone looking for an instructor 🙂

s. c.

Highly, highly recommend Rakesh (Automatic). He was my third instructor after others had let me down! Really turned my driving experience around and made me feel confident in my ability.

J. P.

David was a great instructor for our son Luke who passed first time . Thanks to the confidence , professionalism and attitude that David provides to his students . I would highly recommend him as it was a great experience for my son . Thank you again !!!!

k.

Strongly recommend my instructor Rakesh, who is very professional and very patient. Had some great sessions with him and they definitely helped me to get enough confidence as well as skills to get on the road. Great experience!

D. B.

My daughter had lessons with the lovely Rakesh, he was a brilliant instructor and very patient. She passed first time and we are so happy as she now has her independence ready for her new arrival. Thank you Rakesh and GSI

H. B.

The one to go with! David was my instructor and was absolutely phenomenal, I managed to pass my test today with 0 minors - all thanks to the help and guidance of David! Would definitely recommend him and his company to anyone looking for a driving instructor! Great guy with a great personality, down to earth and a professional man always looking out for your best interests the whole way through the learning journey.

V. P.

Both my sons passed their driving tests first time with David, he is extremely professional and talked through every element to ensure they were confident and would pass, I would highly recommend GSI Driving School, thank you!

l. m.

Rakesh is really great. I moved from Switzerland over to the UK and needed a few lessons to get more familiar driving on the left side. Rakesh took really his time and checked that he covers everything with me I needed.

D. H.

My driving instructor (David) is an great teacher and makes learning to drive fun. I passed yesterday, first time with 0 faults.

K. M.

Found rakesh incredibly patient and very helpful I passed today with 1 minor fault I can see why he is high demand and I would highly recommend him.

R. C.

Couldn’t recommend GSI and particularly Pepi enough. He took me from never having driven a car to passing my test in Chertsey with zero minors in ten months. His attention to detail is superb and I feel like I’ve been driving for years. A really top class teacher and all round good guy. If you live in the area and want to learn to drive don’t look anywhere else

M. J.

David was a great instructor, had a great time learning and passed on second test. Would recommend to any one looking for a driving instructor.

J. R.

After failing 6 driving tests with a previous instructor, I finally passed my test after having lessons from David Gubbins of GSI. He picked up on things that my previous instructor had missed.

T.

Had david as my diving instructor and passed my extended driving test first time would highly recommend.

S. E.

David was a great instructor! Taught me well and helped me overcome confidence issues. Really glad I chose to learn with him.

D. H.

Recently passed my test with massive help from Pepi. Fair prices and the attention to detail is excellent. Not a minute is wasted during the lessons and would highly recommend this driving school.

D. G.

I can't thank Pepi enough. I never thought I would ever pass but with Pepi's calm and possitive attitude I did. I really am so thankful for your help. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

D. G.

Fantastic
