Passed at Goodmayes • December 2025

"I was really anxious about dual carriageways. My Limehouse instructor started me on the quiet streets near the basin. We built up gradually, and by week 5, I was handling Commercial Road confidently. The mix of roads was perfect for developing all-round skills. Passed first time!"

"I work long hours in Canary Wharf and was worried about fitting lessons in. My instructor offered 7am starts and weekend slots. Passed first time after just 3 months!"

Mohammed H.

Passed at Goodmayes • November 2025

"I had tried learning twice before and gave up both times because I was too nervous. My instructor at DriveThruL was different. She was so patient and let me take things at my own pace. We started on the quiet streets near the park, and bit by bit I got more confident. Finally passed at Goodmayes after years of putting it off!"
