Scotties Driving School,
I would like to thank scott for all his help in me passing my test first time on Tuesday the 2nd March. He was an excellent instructor very patient and made you feel very confident on the road I would recommend Scott and Scotties Driving School to any one who wishes to learn to drive. Once again thanks mate for all your help.
'Ben Frisby’
I would highly recommend Scotties Driving School. Scott is a patient, supportive teacher who makes you feel comfortable if you are a bit nervous and boosts your confidence as a driver. Having driven on and off before, Scott quickly identified my bad habits and re-taught me how to drive properly! A big thanks to Scott for getting me through the test
'Colette Smythe’
I just want to say a big thank you to Scotties Driving School and to bob my instructor for helping me pass my driving test on the 28th January.
I have now been driving for over a week now thanks to Scotties. 'Chris Hutson’
Bob is a great instructor for any new driver. Extremely approachable, very understanding, I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons! Thank you for all your help and patience Bob, wishing you all the best for the future.'
‘Khalid Maidan’
When i started learning to drive nearly a year ago, i wanted a driving instructor that was not only approachable but also make driving fun. Scotties did that.
The fact that Scott was open made communication between the two of us easy as he would tell me if i did anything wrong and easily explain manoeuvres. Even when i felt down after failing my first test he still believed that i was capable of becoming a driver. I would recommend Scotties Driving School to any learner who is looking for a good driving school and big thanks go to Scott. ‘Martin Young’
I passed my driving test on my second attempt, I cannot praise my driving instructor enough, he was patient and polite. If anyone you know that needs driving lessons do not hesitate to go to SCOTTIES and ask for Dave Sharpe. ‘Martin Reynoulds’
I passed my driving test yesterday 10th December with 5 minors and I still can't believe it! I had previously been with two other driving schools which didn't help me at all, in fact they probably made me worse so Scott my instructor definately had a challenge on his hands! Scott helped me with my nerves when it came to learning to drive and showed me that I could do it. He taught me everything I need to know about being a safe driver and if I didn't understand something we would keep practicing it until I was 100% happy and confident about it. If you want to learn to drive with a school that really cares about YOU and your driving then Scotties is definately the one! ‘Jade Clark’
I passed my test on the 2nd attempt and I am over the moon! Dave was a brilliant instructor and was a pleasure to learn with him. He was always very honest with me and made me feel confident in my ability. ‘Chris Defreitas’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Thanks scott for everything, i've not only i gained my
driving license out of this, i've gained a friend and would recommend EVERYONE
and ANYONE to Scotties Driving School, Scott is honest professional and definately knows
what his job is. I was also really happy when i passed my test and received a
congratulations keyring from scott. Just little things like that, that
make Scotties Driving School the best driving school ever, thanks again scott
and i will keep in touch. ‘Danny Knight’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Having tried and tested several companies before I was over
the moon after my first lesson with Scotties! Scott was brilliant, very professional
and made everything much more enjoyable rather than a chore. Due to medical
reasons I was unable to go all the way to passing but I highly recommend him
and will most definately return if things change. ‘Charlea Graham‘
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Firstly a huge thank you to my instructor Bob for all his
support and patience which both reflected positively in my practical test. I
know people say you cannot pass your practical test at
the first attempt but with Scotties i did.
'Sherifat Adenle'
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I have had many driving instructors in the past around the
basildon/benfleet area and have never really clicked with one until I met Dave!
I found that other instructors may have been too short or did not explain
things clear enough. Hense why I had over 150 driving lesson and 5
instructors!! Dave Sharp is clear, supportive and can help you reflect on the
weak points that need improving. Dave's body lanaguage and input shows genuine
interest in your individual learning and puts you on the path of achievement!
WANNA DRIVING INSTRUCTOR WHO CAN,,,,,DAVE'S YOUR MAN!!!!! (I past my test last
month and honestly think Dave guided me to the finishing post)
‘Jenha Green’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I think scott is a amazing instructor because when i first started
with him i was a nervous wreck and he lead me to pass my test today 1st time
which i am so pleased about, he makes you feel at ease when he is teaching you
and in time you become good friends and can drive at complete ease, he gives you
good guidelines and gets you believing in yourself and that anything is
possible, so thank you scott.
'Claire Osullivan'
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Oh my god.. i've finally done it. i passed my driving test today
with Scotties Driving School. i would like to say a huge thank you to scott
himself who taught me. Passing my test, it is the best feeling in the world
ever, and i wouldn't have done it without the help of scott. i was previously
with another driving school who i didn't benefit from. I see Scotties Driving School and gave them a phone call and soon as i spoken to scott his attitude to
driving gave me my answer that Scotties Driving School was the one to go with..
and boy am i glad i did. The good thing learning with scott was the fact
that he would tell you the truth if you done something wrong he would get you
to pull to one side and explain the error. he gave me so much confidence in my
driving. Scott's attitude to driving was very professional and helpful. Scott
taught me something that no other driving school taught me before and that was
using MSPSL.. and yeh it works 100%. :-) passing today with 4 minors was the
best feeling ever. i just want to say a HUGE thank you to scott. i couldn't
have done it with out. 'Elizabeth
Smith'
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Just would like to say thank you to Scotties Driving School and to
Scott who was my driving instructor for about a year ( that long time mainly
due to my busy job). I passed my test last week with just 5 minor.Thank you for
teaching me MSPSL - I did not know about MSPSL with my previous instructor and
did not realise how important it was to make you a good and confident
driver. I would recommend Scotties to anyone who want to pass the test with
confidence and from the first attempt. ‘Larisa L'
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Where do I start!... I passed my test on the 27/07/2009 with help
and belief from my fantastic instructor Dave! I am 24 and had been learning to
drive on and off since I was 17. Having been with previous instructors prior to
finding Scotties Driving School I can safely say it is the best driving school
around. I started lessons with Scott in September 2008 and feeling slightly
disheartened thinking passing a test was out of reach, it was refreshing to
find an instructor who treated each pupil as an individual - with Scott 's
belief and perseverance my confidence built up, and my driving skills improved.
So I thank Scott very much for his help and knowledge in the months that he
taught me. Due to my decision to take the Tilbury test route I transferred over
to have lessons with Dave in April 2009. Dave gave me the last little push I
needed to truly believe I could pass my test. With Dave's encouragement,
calming influence and explainations that I found very easy to understand -
whether it be explaining how to do a reverse round the corner or step by step
driving it all seem to click! To me Dave is a driving instructor
legend!! I can't thank Scott or Dave enough for all the help they
gave me. I highly recommend them. And for anyone who is reading this who
hasn't yet passed don't give up...finding out I passed my driving test was the
best feeling!!
‘Daniella Moorcraft’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I had been learning to drive on and off for about 5 years and had
failed my test on a couple of occasions . I decided to turn to Scotties and
after my first lesson with Dave i could easily say this was the best driving
instructor i have driven with. Dave's calming influence and expert guidance gave
me the confidence to pass my test first time with Scotties, a big thank you to
Dave and Scotties driving school.
‘Benn Clements’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I would just like to say a big thank you to scottie himself for
making my driving lessons very enjoyable. I think you are a great driving
instructor and you made me feel confident from the word go. As a whole i would
give scotties driving school a 10 out of 10.Also there is one day i will never
forget and that is th 8th of july 2009 when i passed my test 1st time.Scott you
said you would get me there and i thank you so much for that, your a gentleman.
All the best for the
future. ‘Brett Green’
Dear Scotties Driving School,
I just want to say a huge thank you to Scott for getting me through my test
today with only 2 minors, I couldn't have done it without your help and
support. You are a fantastic instructor, very patient, reliable, professional
and friendly. When I first started learning with you I had no confidence
whatsoever even though I had already had many lessons with several different
instructors. You helped boost my confidence and taught me MSPSL. Thank you for
being a great instructor as well as a friend and for all your hard work. I
can't thank you enough and would highly recommend you. Make sure you keep in contact.
‘Catherine
Boulds’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I just passed my test with 3 minors after learning to drive
with Scott, when I started I wasn't the most confident but Scott put me at ease
with his friendly and approachable nature. He maintained a very high
professional standard and you can tell that he really takes an interest and
enjoys his work. He teaches you at your own pace and will give you honest
feedback which really helps you progress towards your test and improve your
driving. I would (and have) recommend Scott to anyone due to his friendly,
trustworthy and professional manner. Thanks for all the help
‘Dan Williams’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I would highly recommend Scott as he
taught me how to drive properly as my previous instructor didn't. Scott is
organised, patient and a friend as well as an instructor. Thank you for being
patient with me especially on my reverse left ha ha, and thank you for helping
me to pass my test ‘Emma Obrien’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Thanks for helping me learn how to drive Scott, the lessons were
great fun and very enjoyable. Much better than one of the big driving schools,
glad you taught me MSPSL otherwise I'd wouldn't have passed. I'm glad you helped
me relax before my test because i got into the zone of driving and just went
and had the best drive ever (2 Minors)!! Thanks again for your time ‘Caron Bracey’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I'd like to thank both Scott and Dave for their great driving
lessons. I only transferred to Scotties a few months ago and hadn't even been
taught MSPSL with my past instructor, and I passed my test today with 5 Minors
‘Louise Scott’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I started driving with scott about a year ago. I was a very nervous
driver. Scott put me at ease and built up my confidence. Today i passed
my test and I am over the moon. I highly recommend him especially to
those who like me are nervous. I have also gained a friend in Scott.
Thanks mate ‘Paul Oleary’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,

Dear

I had my first test today and passed with seven minors. Everything i know now
about driving and all the new skills i have learned are down to scott as he
taught me from scratch. I am so pleased and glad i chose Scotties Driving
School and i would recommend it to anyone! The lessons were always comfortable
and i always felt like i was learning something new but at my own pace. I'm
going to go on to do a motorway course. ‘Louisa Gleed’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Thank you so much for my first time pass!!! Many, many thanks to
Scott for all his patience and hard work in teaching me to drive (properly...
ha ha). An excellent instructor that really made me feel at ease in the car. I
would highly recommend Scott to anyone who wants to learn how to drive.Thank
you. ‘Leigh Pollock’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
After 7 years of lessons which topped 200 hours and 6 driving schools later i
was still not ready for a test! I had all but given up on being able to
drive!! But against my better judgement i decided to give it one last go, so
back in august 2008 i started searching online for an intensive driving course,
I called quite a few and found Scotties more helpful than others. After a quick
chat with Scott we decided on a course that would suit me best. It worked and i
PASSED!!! So I would like to thank Dave my instructor who has been fantastic
and patient instructor. I would recommend Scottie's Driving School to
anyone who is looking to drive. I have road tested a few and they get 10/10.
Cheers guys. ‘Steve Nice’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Scott is an excellent driving instructor; he is firm when he has to
and to the point. He is very thoughtful in the lessons that he has planned for
you. He hits all your needs in a very simple and professional way. He has lots
of patience and explains the topic very simply and concise. When your lesson is
over and at the beginning he makes sure that you have grasped what is needed to
move on. I would recommend my family and friends if they ever need lessons.
Thank you! ‘Sean Lopes’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I passed my driving test under Dave's guidance. It was my first attempt and I
was very confident as Dave taught me all elements of driving very neatly and
clearly. I would like to thank my instructor, Dave Sharp for building my
confidence to appear for driving test and teaching me all important routines
such as MSPSL and MSM patiently and accurately. I would recommend all to take
Driving lessons at Scotties Driving School ‘Bhushan
Danej’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I started learning to drive 20 some years ago but due to a number of
reasons I never felt confident enough to put in for my test.... I could never
find an instructor that instilled confidence into me like Scott did.Scott
explains things perfectly, has untold patience and I would like to thank Scott
for everything.I passed my test with only 3 minors and that is down to
Scott...Scott thank you for opening so many new doors for me! I have already
been out for a drive completely on my own and I loved it!! I never thought I
would ever get to that stage. ‘Teri
Hull’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I did a 30 Hour Semi-Intensive course, and from lesson one I felt
really comfortable and focussed on learning and driving. Every lesson was very
very well taught and Scott explained everything clearly and very logically.
When I made mistakes, Scott would point out exactly why I made them and then
tell me how to prevent myself from doing the same again by doing things
logically. Also, if I had to cancel a lesson and move it, Scott was very
flexible and could always shuffle things around to help me out. On my test day,
I was very nervous, and Scott managed to calm me right down and really got me
focussed. I don't think I could have got to the standard that I am at now so
quickly without Scott's learning techniques and own effort put into the whole
thing. Thanks so much
Scott ‘Colin Smith’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Yesterday, once i had found out I had passed I couldn't stop
grinning, I leaped out of the car and screamed with excitement! With huge thanks to Scott for making it
possible, his lessons were easy to understand, if i was ever unsure about
something i wasn't afraid to ask, Scott would find another way of explaining it
to me, and the fact that he was honest was brilliant as we were then able to
highlight points that I needed to practice more. Scott is very encouraging and
makes you feel confident about your driving. I would highly recommend Scott as
your driving
instructor!'
‘Lauren
Pentelow’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
What a fantastic day for me to remember, i have passed my test today
all due to the efforts of 'Scott'. My family and friends are really happy for
me, especially my boss. Scotties are a sure fire way to pass your test as he
makes you feel confident and welcome, the instructions given are easy and
confidence building.Thank you so much scott. ‘Daniel Crouch’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
From day one to my test scott made everything easy to understand and
remember, adapting his methods of explaining things so that it was more readily
understandable for me, i was never held back and at the same time never
pushed beyond my limit, making the frightening thought of learning to drive
comfortable and most of all enjoyable. Cheers scott your a top bloke i'll be
keeping in touch and sending anyone i find your direction. ‘Joshua
Bowry’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
Learning with Scott was an enjoyable experience. Everything went at
my pace and nothing was ever rushed or dragged out longer than needed. Scott
was patient throughout the whole process which resulted in me passing my test
yesterday. I would not at all hesitate to recommend him ‘Phil
Pentelow’
Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I had an amazing experience the last few months scott, I enjoyed
every lesson and the pass today was just the icing on the cake! I recommend
Scott highly as a driving instructor. I've gained a licence and a mate, thanks
scott. ‘Kurt

Dear
Scotties Driving School,
I just want to say thanks a million for everything you've done for
me. I never could have done it without you! Scott is a fantastic instructor! He
is everything an instructor should be. Punctual, calm, relaxing to drive with
and very professional. If you make mistakes he highlights this straight away
and teaches you the best and easiest way to correct them. Even when I was
stressing out right before my test, he calmed me down immensely. If Scott is
still teaching when my daughter is old enough, I know exactly what driving
school she will be using. You can't go wrong joining Scotties driving school,
Thanks again scott. ‘Caroline

reliable and always goes that extra mile for any one of his pupils. Scott’s
standard of professionalism is second to none and he also gives you the best
