Andy Winter from BSM Driving is a phenomenal instructor; he actually cares about building your confidence and puts his own time and effort in – even on his days off – to help you practise when needed.

I came to Andy after having to find a new driving instructor with another company. I originally felt stuck and lacked confidence, but the difference was night and day from the very first lesson. While my previous experience felt rushed and stressful, Andy was incredibly calm, patient, and professional and helped me through my driving weaknesses and nerves.

He has a unique way of breaking down complex manoeuvres and road rules so they actually make sense to each individual. Thanks to his expert guidance, tailored teaching style, and consistent effort in me. I managed to go from feeling uncertain to passing my test in just 2 months of having lessons with Andy.

I honestly can’t recommend Andy enough—especially if you’ve had a bad experience elsewhere or struggle with driving nerves or exam anxiety. He doesn't just teach you how to pass a test; he teaches you how to be a confident and safe driver.

i had the best experience learning with Scott Reynolds. he was calm, patient and a very good teacher. I would recommend him to anyone that’s thinking about learning to drive. 1st time pass thanks to scott😄

Had a great experience learning to drive with John Bolton. He was always reliable, friendly, and made every lesson feel productive and relaxed.
He gave really clear instructions and quickly identified the gaps in my skills, helping me improve week by week. He also built my confidence driving on busy London roads, which I was quite nervous about when I started learning.
I passed my test feeling fully prepared and couldn’t recommend him more.

My instructor was John Bolton and I passed my driving test under a year when I first started learning how to drive. Never had a instructor before him and he taught me everything in practical driving very well. He constantly helped me during lessons and always gave kind and the best advice whenever I struggled at a certain topic for example uphill traffic. I always looked forward to every driving lesson I had with him and he was always encouraging. He is very patient and professional.

Very helpful instructor, beyond 10/10

Baqir wahidi- i’ve had 2 other driving instructors before , but this one was definitely the best instructor. Doesn’t shout or overwhelm me when making mistakes. He would explain it in an understanding manner and identify why i make the mistakes and how to avoid them in the future . I passed first attempt in slough test centre

My driving instructor, Sameer Rashid, is an absolute legend! He’s such a calm, composed, and very professional instructor that knows what he’s doing. I was a very nervous driver at first, and I was quite reluctant to do manual, but he pushed me to reach for the stars! As of writing this review, I passed my practical driving exam and had an absolute blast! I highly recommend Sameer as an instructor, and I wish him all the best! Thank you Sameer, and thank you BSM for referring me to him!

Scott Reynolds is a great driving instructor. I felt safe, supported and comfortable every lesson. Very reliable instructor with a wealth of knowledge about driving and the roads. Would recommend.

I had a great experience learning with Damir. He was incredibly patient, positive, and supportive throughout every lesson, which really helped build my confidence as a nervous beginner. Thanks to his clear guidance and encouragement, I was able to pass my practical test first time! I couldn’t have done it without him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly driving instructor.

10/10 the best there is. Especially Adrian who was my instructor. Can’t recommend or credit him enough. Kind, patient, supportive. Knowledgeable beyond just driving. He got me on the road after some bad experiences with other instructors. Absolute gem to this company. If you’re in Stockport/Hyde or the surrounding areas, Adrian is your man.

I have booked a 10 Hour bundle with the company and got the instructor named Farah Gelle, for the fourth time he has either cancelled the lesson or just hasn’t turned up. 2 of my lessons has been marked of as complete yet i haven’t done a single one of them. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone.

I would not recommend BSM Driving Lessons based on our recent experience.

My daughter had a very unpleasant experience with an instructor named Syed. During lessons, he was often on his phone, which made her feel uncomfortable and unsupported as a beginner.

Initially, everything seemed fine, but after he suggested cash-in-hand payments, his attitude noticeably changed. He later cancelled her lessons and blocked further contact without proper explanation.

We raised a formal complaint with BSM, but the company sided with the instructor and closed the case, stating there was no evidence of unprofessional behaviour. This is difficult to understand given my daughter had completed 9.5 hours of lessons—any concerns should have been addressed properly during that time.

Overall, we found the situation poorly handled and lacking professionalism. I would advise others to be cautious.

I passed the first time thanks to Ljeonora Trnava NW London with only two minors. Ljeonora is a fantastic instructor. Her attention to detail, professionalism and thorough teaching method ensured I had all bases covered and went into the rest fully prepared. I’d highly recommend Ljeonora to anyone looking to pass their driving test in the first attempt!

I had Damir Vujevic as my instructor and he was amazing! Explained the structure of the test really well, kept track of my strengths and weaknesses to make sure I was ready for test day. Lessons fit well into my schedule, made sure to do several lessons close to test day as well to help me feel prepared. Would definitely recommend!!

I'm truly disappointed with my experience with Mike Frovein, one of the driving instructors at BSM. His frequent phone use during lessons, often for extended periods without explanation, made me feel like my learning wasn't a priority. The repetitive driving routes within the same industrial estate for weeks, without ever progressing to proper roads, left me feeling unprepared and doubtful. This continued for 5 lessons. Seeing my friends advance quickly only amplified my frustration and significantly undermined my confidence, making me question my driving abilities. Since switching instructors and progressing to test routes within just four lessons, it's clear that my initial instruction was inadequate, leaving me with the impression that profit was prioritized over my development as a driver.

I have contacted Marcin, with 2 weeks notice to my driving test, this guy trusted my ability to drive and corrected a lot of my driving, very accurate and reliable person, he does everything by the book, improved my observations, i have passed my test today with 0 fault, I can’t thank this guy enough and if you are looking for a driving instructor, Marcin is your man.

I had a great experience learning to drive with Travis Joseph at BSM. He was always calm, patient, and really clear when explaining things, which made a big difference to my confidence behind the wheel. Even when I made mistakes, he stayed encouraging and helped me improve without feeling stressed. His lessons were well structured and focused on exactly what I needed to work on. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and reliable driving instructor.

Passed my test today with John Bolton, 10/10 driving instructor, would highly recommend, he is patient, professional and explained everything clearly. He gives good feedback, made me feel at ease and fully prepared for my test.

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.

Scott Reynolds is an excellent instructor! From my first lessons with Scott, Scott was able to point out many bad habits I picked up driving previously with another instructor. He taught me the correct way to drive for both the test and for driving after the test, quickly helping me correct these bad habits. Scott was also extremely patient with me and explained things perfectly so I was able to understand. His way of teaching is tailored - if you are struggling to understand through explanation he will aid you through showing you how it is done. Scott is also very reliable, he will always show up on time and never cancels. I must thank Scott Reynolds for my first time pass as I couldn’t have done it without him! I recommend him to anyone who is learning to drive or struggling!

I recently got my licence after learning with BSM. The booking system was really simple and my instructor, Farzam Ashouri, was so patient with me, even at the beginning when i was making a lot of mistakes and was really nervous on the roads. He prepared me very well for my test which i thankfully passed!

Baqir was my instructor from BSM and I have passed test in Uxbridge first attempt. He is very knowledgeable, confidence builder, and clear communicator. I would recommend for Slough and Uxbridge.
