Real reviews from real pupils, straight from Google.
Norman was an excellent driving instructor, because of him I passed first time. He was extremely reassuring and encouraging throughout the entire process. He has excellent knowledge of all test routes, and really helped me address my weaknesses. I would unreservedly recommend him as a driving instructor - there is no one better.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Maclaren's Driving School! Passed my test first time thanks to my instructor, who was super patient, calm, and clear with every maneuver. Norman really build my confidence on tricky roads instead of just teaching me to pass a test. Professional, punctual, and worth every penny. Highly recommended!
Norman is an excellent driving instructor. I passed in Wood Green with him. He knows the test routes like the back of his hand and takes a really practical approach to preparing for the test. Couldn’t recommend him more!
Wonderful driving instructor! Norman is patient and encouraging, excellent for beginners. He also tailors the lessons to my needs, eg if he sees that I am learning fast he will speed up the lessons or if there is a tricky roundabout on the test route, he will take me there until I feel confident. He has superb knowledge of the test routes and areas. He took me to the trickiest bit of my test routes right before my test! He really has good understanding of the traffic in the test area and which routes are likely at what time. Before a test, he is also great at being encouraging and helping me manage my nerves. I feel confident going into the test because of his lessons. Apart from being a knowledgeable and highly experienced instructor, he is also just a fun person to be around. I really enjoy his lessons - both from a learning perspective and for spending two hours in a car with someone who is chatty, encouraging and kind.
If you’re looking to pass then Norman is the one. He’s an expert on identifying your weak points and tell you how to improve them. In short: it’s worth spending time and money with Norman.
Norman is a very calm, patient and professional driving instructor. He explains everything clearly and has really helped me build my confidence with driving. He is supportive, honest and makes you feel comfortable during the lessons. I’m very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good driving instructor.
