Very nice and patient driving instructor!

Passed my test first time with only 2 minors, from just over 3 months of lessons!

​Would highly recommend!

Earl Drive has been the best choice I could have made when choosing a driving instructor.

Obinna was very thorough in all areas of my learning and his guidance throughout my time learning from him was invaluable.

​He was always happy to go the extra mile and made sure that I was ready to take (and pass) my test.

​I would highly recommend Earl Drive to any new learner drivers.
Catherine Paul
I started driving lessons with Obinna after reading all the positive reviews, and they were all correct.

​Obinna made me feel confident with my driving and always provided feedback and tips on how to improve. He was very patient and accommodating to my varying schedule.

On my first lesson with Obinna, he advised that I should book my test which was shocking to me as I was previously told after 50+ hours with another instructor that I was not test ready.

We worked on any concerns I had and structured the lessons on areas I wanted to improve, with frequent end of lesson evaluations and was made to feel as though no question was a silly question.

I passed my test with 0 minors today which was only possible with Obinna's help and support!

I would highly recommend Obinna to anyone who is thinking about taking driving lessons and want to pass!
Olivia Smith
Great driving instructor, definitely would recommend!

Obinna is the best tutor I've ever had.

​I started with Obinna two months ago as an anxious driver.

However Obinna has always taken the time to reassure me and explain each manoeuvre in lots of detail.

He is very patient and calm and will go out of his way to help you as much as he can. I could not recommend a better instructor.

I am happy to say that with Obinna’s help I have passed my driving test today first time.

​I'm not exaggerating, I've been let down by another instructor before Obinna and I can compare the two, and I know exactly that only thanks to Obinna's patience and professionalism I've passed my test at the Basildon's test centre today!

Great communication, great tips for driving, not only to pass the test but to build confidence and drive safely!

​Absolutely fantastic experience with Obinna.

His professionalism and punctuality is top-notch. He was always on time for lessons and kept to a well-structured schedule, ensuring every minute was productive.

What stood out most was his flexibility in accommodating my busy schedule.

Despite changes, he remained adaptable and ensured I received the best training possible.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled driving instructor!
Melanie South
After having many lessons with another driving instructor I was pushed to change due to the fact he only wanted to offer me a 2hr lesson every 2 weeks.

I bit the bullet and did some digging and found Earl Drive!  Wow what a difference!

I was always very nervous Driving, with Obinna I feel much more relaxed and confident!  The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner.  I am now on the road to becoming test ready.

​I would highly recommend Earl Drive!

UPDATE:
Today I passed my driving test with 2 minor faults! I can't thank Obinna enough! He is so patient and professional with lots of laughs too. I am absolutely over the moon and I have this man to thank!

I’ve taken 9 lessons with Obinna before attempting to take my driving test, and passing for the first time.

I’ve been an anxious driver at first, however Obinna has always taken the time to reassure me, and explain and demonstrate the mechanics and purpose behind every manoeuvre very clearly, step by step.

​Obinna was a really great teacher and I am very grateful for everything he has taught me that helped me to pass my test for on first attempt with only 4 minors.
