HERO DRIVING SCHOOL Reviews 

I trained with Brad for about 20 weeks and couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He was calm and patient in every lesson, even when I was clearly nervous, and had a great sense of humour that made the whole experience genuinely enjoyable rather than stressful. He was also really accommodating whenever I needed to change lesson times or focus on specific areas I was struggling with. Thanks to his teaching, I passed my test with zero minors. I'd highly recommend Brad to anyone learning to drive.

My Instructor was Joe -

Joe has a very chill personality without being afraid to call out mistakes and help correct them.

Lessons are enjoyable, informative and price-wise are competitively priced for Colchester. I had tested prior to learning with Joe and Passed immediately with him as my instructor (1 driving fault). His car is a nice learner vehicle also.

I would recommend Joe to anyone requiring driving instruction.

Helped me passed from just a few lessons, very positive experience

Joseph Fernando is an excellent instructor and couldn’t recommend him enough. Puts you at ease from the off and is genuinely just a great guy. Passing first time couldn’t have been done without him! 10/10

Had Michelle as my instructor and she was amazing, always calm even if I made mistakes, helped me with more than just driving kept me calm and helped with my anxiety, could not recommend her more.

I had an amazing experience with Brad. He was patient, supportive, and helped me pass my driving test on my first attempt.
Thank you, Brad!

I'm thrilled to have passed my driving test on my first attempt! 🚙
A huge thank you to my driving instructor (Brad) and the whole team for all your support throughout my learning journey. Special thanks to my amazing instructor for being so calm, patient, supportive, and understanding every step of the way. Your expert guidance and confidence in me made such a difference, and I truly appreciate everything you’ve done.

I couldn't have done it without your guidance. Brad you are amazing. Thank you once again!

Brad is the best give him a raise highly recommend hero driving and Brad

I passed!!! (Finally at 37 years old lol!)

I can’t recommend Michelle enough! She is a brilliant instructor, especially if you struggle with anxiety.

Michelle is experienced with teaching anxious/ASD/ADHD learners and is was extremely understanding, honest and adaptable. Michelle was experienced, knowledgable and patient and tailors lessons to your pace. She helps you feel confident and safe on the road and goes over and above for you with sharing with you any resources like useful videos you might need to watch outside of lessons, and takes time to go through anything you might not understand or have questions about.

Thank you for your help, I really wouldn’t have been able to do it without you!

I cannot fault Mark at all! I’ve been learning to drive with Mark for a little while now, from the off Mark was so friendly which eased any worries I had about learning to drive and also made my lessons enjoyable and comfortable. Mark is patient and incredibly supportive! Mark adapts his approach to teaching you, so you understand and learn in a way that works for you, rather than a standard approach which doesn’t always work. The feedback I had was brilliant, it really motivated me and gave me the confidence to go out in my own car in between our lessons.

I found Mark to be flexible with days and times for lessons as I work shifts, which was really good of him and much appreciated.

Getting a driving test was the tricky part with wait times but Mark always updated me with his availability to ensure I could get on the road at the earliest opportunity.

Mark wasn’t just my driving instructor, he became a friend, I had a brilliant experience, I learned a lot and now I’m on the road! Thank you, for all your help and support. I will definitely miss our catch ups, I’ll be sure to wave when I see you

Passed after an intensive with Mas
Very grateful for the time and effort he put in. I was very nervous but he provided videos pictures and diagrams to help me study after lessons and between them so our lessons were purely for driving. He was always on hand to explain things.
Lessons were fun and enjoyable

Michelle is an amazing driving instructor. She was always patient, supportive and open to explaining things in a way that was easy to visualise and understand. She helped me build my confidence, and supported me when I made mistakes. She taught me not just how to pass the test, but how to become a safe and better driver. If you are looking for an instructor that is kind, patient and knowledgeable, look no further!

My instructor was Jamal Hossain (Jay) in the Colchester area and he was brilliant. Booked a 16 hour crash course with him and passed within the week. He explains everything really well and makes the learning experience an enjoyable one. Highly recommend him.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Michelle. Even thanking her feels insufficient for the dedication and professionalism she brought to every lesson. She is an exceptionally skilled driving instructor who patiently addressed each of my weak areas, offering clear, step-by-step guidance throughout the entire learning process. Her calm approach, encouragement, and ability to build my confidence made every session both enjoyable and effective. Thanks to her remarkable support, I passed on my very first attempt.

I also extend my heartfelt appreciation to Hero Driving School for assigning Michelle as my instructor. Their commitment to quality training truly shows.

For anyone considering driving lessons, I can say without the slightest hesitation—choose Michelle from Hero Driving School.
Highly recommended!

Cette école offre un meilleur apprentissage, un suivi et une seconde chance aux échecs. Le moniteur est plus soucieux de votre réussite que vous le conducteur.
Je le recommande à tous.

Just passed my driving test first time with 1 minor thanks to an outstanding intensive driving course under Mas’s instruction 🥳 I am a very very nervous person, but Mas knew exactly how to build up my confidence. He makes the lessons HARD but that is a good thing - it means that when it comes to test day, you are more than ready.

If you’re looking for an instructor - look no further. Thank you so much, Mas 🙌 you’re a 10/10 instructor and I look forward to doing the pass plus with you.

Mas was amazing he has really helped me become a confident and safe driver I was not the easiest to teach but Mas has taught me everything and I couldn’t thank him enough he has loads of experience and I would recommend him to anyone ! 10/10 thank you for helping me pass my test !

I had a wonderful driving experience with Michelle as my driving instructor. Through her patience, support and excellent teaching expertise, I was able to gain confidence on driving safely and competently. She never pushed me too far out of my comfort zone but nudged me gently enough to make steady progress which led me to pass. I am really grateful for all the hard work she put in our lessons and for making driving an enjoyable experience.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. From day one, Michelle inspired me with her calm, positive approach and gave me the confidence I never thought I’d have behind the wheel. Her patience is truly unmatched! she never rushes, never judges, and always takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense.

What sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares about her students. She goes above and beyond, tailoring each lesson to what you personally need, and celebrating even the smallest wins along the way. Learning to drive can be nerve wracking, but with her support and encouragement, it felt like an achievable goal every step of the journey.

If you’re looking for someone who is professional, kind, and dedicated and who will inspire confidence no matter where you start, Michelle is the perfect instructor. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Thankyou Michelle ☺️

I have Mark as my driving instructor and, I passed my driving test with roughly 45+ lessons on my first attempt today with 6 minors. Learning to drive wasn’t easy for me specially when I don’t have a car to practice on my own– I had a lot of ups and downs – but my instructor was supportive, his clear guidance and honest attitude gave me the confidence to keep going, and together we achieved it. I’m so grateful for his dedication and highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a great driving instructor.
