I was put in touch with Filippos after contacting the driving school for refresher lessons, after 10 years of driving very little and having bad experiences with a driving instructor in the past. I was very nervous and unsure if I was even going to be able to drive, but Filippos was very understanding, kind, professional, easygoing and compassionate toward my fear of driving. Even on our first drive together, I managed to drive feeling safe and working through my fears with Filippos - I can’t thank him enough for giving me the confidence to be on the road again and the kindness and friendliness Filippos showed me. I will be forever grateful! Thank you!!!!

I had a great experience learning with my driving instructor Filippos. He is very confident in his teaching skills and has a strong ability to quickly identify a student’s weak areas and work on correcting them, which really helped boost my confidence. He genuinely values his pupils’ time and money and always gives honest, reasonable advice on what is actually needed to progress, rather than unnecessary lessons. He is extremely friendly and creates a comfortable, relaxed learning environment, which makes a big difference when learning to drive. His mock tests are excellent and very closely match what you face on the actual driving test day. If you can pass his mock tests, you are in a very strong position to pass the real exam. He is always punctual and very professional with lesson timings. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive, and effective driving instructor. 🚗✅

I had sessions with Filippos over a period of time and his availability and commitment towards me passing the exam was throughout. He was very precise and will point out every minor or major mistake. His suggestions in terms of test centre and guidance helped me pass my test quickly. He will go to any lengths to see his pupil achieving success and is very flexible. I am grateful the time and patience he provided me and would definitely recommend him.

I found Filippos a good instructor but I had to cancel my lessons because of his behaviour. I booked 10 hours on the understanding that I would do one hour lessons. We had the first lesson which was fine. We agreed to do the next one from 4-5pm one day the following week. I texted to say that I was confirming this time in writing. He texted back to say that he had 4-5.30pm in this diary. I said that I couldn't do one and a half hours He sent back quite a rude message saying that it would take him 35 to 40 minutes to get to me and he wasn't going to do that for one hour. I don't think that was even true as I saw his schedule and the previous lesson finished at 3.30pm. I said that I would have to cancel and he refunded my money, except that he charged me for 1 hour 15 minutes rather than one hour, and deducted that amount. I asked for the money for the 15 minutes and he ignored the message. I had to contact the director to get the money back.

I had lessons with Keith Burke and thanks to his clear instructions and excellent teaching style, I passed my driving test first time with zero minors. Keith made each lesson calm and focused, and his explanations were clear and easy to follow, which helped me build confidence quickly. He really goes the extra mile and I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.
