Thank you Just wanted to say a big thank you to Andy Stone and A&M School Of Motoring. Andy was patient, professional and able to explain the manoeuvres clearly in a way that helped me reach a good standard of driving. Andy was flexible with lesson bookings and able to accommodate my awkward work schedule, meaning I was able to reach the standard required to pass my test first time as soon as possible.

Thank you ANDY! Thank you Andy for all your support and guidance throughout my driving experience and passing my test. I would not have been able to pass without your expert tuition. Each manoeuvre was taught with clear reference points & your friendly manner made the experience more enjoyable. Your determination and infinite patience is infectious and you are able to put even the most nervous of us at ease.
Aisha 12/11/2011
Brilliant, thanks! I'd just like to say a big thank you to Matt for teaching me to drive, and for getting me to test standard. I've had a few instructors, but Matt was definately the best I have come across. He was calm and patient with me, and made me feel at ease, which was great. I would definately recommend him to everyone.

Cheers Andy I had several driving lessons with Andy Stone over a period of approximately 6 months. The lessons were each two hours long. I found Andy to be a very patient instuctor who made me feel relaxed with a new task that I was trying to learn. He provided me with very useful tips on how to tackle and handle the manouves and his overall teaching style helped me passed first time so thank you.

Rocio Arroyo 13/10/2011
Passed Andy Stone at A&M School of Motoring was fantastic, gave me plenty of confidence in my ability. At the age of 17 I passed first time and only having 4 minors. Andy also ensured I was ready for my test and concentrated on my skills that needed refining, also helping me resolve the bad habits.
Ryann Smith 01/10/2011
John Pearce I was extremely pleased with my lessons with John and would strongly recommend him to others. As well as being very thorough in his style of teaching (making sure to explain every manoeuvre / driving principle so that I actually understood them), John was also patient and was particularly good at recognising where my weaknesses lay in order that we focused on those areas.
Kat Fletcher 05/09/2011
Amazing!! Andy at A&M School of Motoring was fantastic, he gave me plenty of confidence in my ability. At the age of 26 I finally got around to taking my test (two days after my Wedding). Andy ensured I was ready for my test in super fast time and only concentrated on my skills that needed refining, also ironing out the bad habits. Big help having the pre test briefing too, passed after 18hrs of instruction
Sam Andrews 23/08/2011

Chris 09/08/2011
0 Minors! I took driving lessons in Bristol with Matt (A&M School of Motoring) and it was awesome. I'm an American living in the UK and took driving lessons to learn how to drive a manual car and also to get familiar with driving laws in England. Matt paced the lessons perfectly so I never felt rushed or pressured. He's the calmest man on earth and none of my stupid mistakes ever phased him. I'd heard some horror stories from friends about being yelled at by their instructor, but Matt was always relaxed. He's friendly too, he's so easy to chat to when driving around Bristol during driving lessons. Before I knew it, I felt like a confident driver and just this morning I passed my driving test with zero faults! I'm a very happy customer!
Emi 04/08/2011
My Driving Lessons Thanks to A&M, but most of all thanks to ANDY. I had some driving experience but thanks to a professional patient and well organised diving instructor, Andy managed to get me up to driving standard in just ten lessons. Thanks again will recommend you now, and in the future.
Vito Becker 19/07/2011
I Passed - I passed - and 8 months pregnant! After failing 3 times, my confidence was shattered. 12 years later I tried again first with AA, but wasn't happy, so I found A&M. John Pearce was encouraging and supportive, thorough and firm. I passed first time with only 4 minors. So thanks, John - and Andy too who squeezed me in while John was away - your photos are brilliant! Thanks!
Christine Hagen 04/07/2011
Great.. - When I had first went to Matt I had failed two tests with a previous instructor which had knocked my confidence. When I had started lessons with Matt he assessed what I needed to do in order to improve my driving. It was suprising why I was even put in for my test so early! Matt helped me grow my confidence and didnt just teach me how to pass. He taught me how to drive! I then passed with 2 minors.
Rebecca Ellis 23/06/2011
0 Minors! - I recently passed my driving test and would like to thank A&M school of motoring and in particular my instructor Andy Stone whose calming influence, diligence, confidence building and attention to detail helped me to pass my test first time with a perfect score. I am sure I only achieved this because of Andy and I would recommend anybody looking for a first class driving instructor take up his services. Thank you Andy and I wish you all the best.
Matthew Anderson 23/06/2011
Passed! - I felt comfortable in my driving lessons and a lot more confident with my driving than I had been before. I got lots of support and constructive criticism which helped my confidence greatly and I passed my driving test first time! Would highly recommend.
Hannah Waring 02/06/2011
Never too old to learn. - My heartfelt thanks to John Pearce for having the patience to keep me going and to make me believe in myself. At the age of 53, I have passed my driving test at the first attempt! John was able to 'think outside the box' on many occasions, when I failed to grasp some of the necessities, and always came up with a solution that worked for me. He is a lovely man, and a great teacher - firm but fair, as my old Dad used to say!
Angela Le Peuple 17/05/2011
Thought I'd never get there! - After almost 10 years of lessons on and off and a 'few' different instructors I finally hit the jackpot when Mike took me on. A very nervous driver with a few failed driving tests is now a proud holder of a full licence and I couldn't be happier or more confident going out on the road- still smiling and can't rate Mike high enough!
Rosa Davidson 18/04/2011
Thanks John - Have passed my test this week and feel very liberated, John was a very patient instructor and let me work in my own way whilst encouraging me all the way. I took up where my partner had left off after passing with same instructor and felt like it could not have gone any better for me.
Martin James 17/11/2010
1st time passer! - Definitely by far the best driving school to join, you feel comfortable in your driving lessons and instantly feel like you and your instructor are good friends. You get so much support and praise and then also constructive criticism in the areas and times needed and so you improve your mistakes. Both myself and my sister passed 1st time with only 2 minors!
Kimberly Yeates 18/10/2010
Fantastic John!! - John is a fantastic driving Instructor who let me learn and develop as a driver at my own pace. John made the learning experience enjoyable due to his personable nature and I am pleased to say that I passed first time.
Paul Bodnarchuk 27/05/2010
Great stuff Matt - A & M School of Motoring is great. I had Matt as my instructor. He was calm, patient and never raised his voice, no matter how awful I was at the beginning! His extremely helpful advice and hints got me through the test and passed first time!!!! 10/10 for A & M School of Motoring!!!
Maddy 07/05/2010
What a star! - Christiaan has been professional, helpful, and friendly and great to spend time working with, passed my test and very happy!!
Ed Norton 04/05/2010
Thanks Chris - Thanks Chris for helping me in achieving one horrendous task (getting my driving licence :-) ),well after taking classes from you I never felt it as a very big task all thanks to the confidence you gave me, had a very short time to prepare for the test and you made it look so easy. I will strongly recommend Chris for some good learning experience. Thanks Manu.
Manu 20/04/2010
Perfect - Starting to drive as a complete novice can be quite daunting. If you are in that place then Christiaan is the instructor you want. He was patient and calm, honest telling me the things I needed to work on and kept me motivated all the time. And... I passed first time! I went from novice to professional (well, not quite that far yet) with his help. Perfect? Surely not, but difficult to make it better.
Dan Martin 17/04/2010
Thank you Christiaan - Just passed! Really enjoyed learning to drive with Christiaan. He was calm and put me at ease straight away. He showed the same good techniques and really built up my confidence. Definately recommended.
Greg Halliwell 27/03/2010
Thank you Nazia - I would like to say that I was very impressed with the quality of teaching of your driving instructor, Nazia. She is very thorough in her approach and I learnt very much from her; a lot more than with my previous driving instructor who I spent more time with. Nazia was very friendly and created a relaxed atmosphere which helped to increase morale and create a mindset which was very conducive for learning. I hold her in the highest regard as a driving instructor and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to learn how to drive properly in this country. Needless to say, I recently passed my test and I am glad that I passed it with Nazia at A&M School of Motoring.
Anu 27/03/2010
Thank you Matt - The lessons were fun, in an invloved style of teaching! They had flexible lesson times across the week. Thanks again Matt.
Ayrton Ash 26/02/2010
Thank you Christiaan - Good thing about Chris is he is a good motivator and at the same time he does not give you false promisies. He gives all hints needed before starting the lesson and makes you feel really comfortable in the car, he always says "treat it like your car". When I made big mistakes, he did not shout, rather he addresses the issue and then changes the topic so I could relax and continue. I passed my test and all credit goes to Christiaan.
Nagashanker 18/02/2010

Paul Tippetts 08/02/2010
Passed! - I started lessons after being recommended by my sister and brother in law, they both took lessons with A & M School of Motoring and found them to be really friendly and professional.

Nadine Davis 12/01/2009
Great tuition - After gettting my licence revoked I started to learn to take lessons with Matt after speaking to a friend. The lesson prices were affordable and he was a great person to do lessons with. He always helped me when I struggled with any aspect of my driving. I passed 1st time with 3 minors. Cheers Matt see you on the road.
Alan Lane 15/12/2008
Passed 1st time - I was recommended to A & M from a friend. I was really excited to start learning, Matt made the lessons fun and interesting at the same time. When I had problems understanding things Matt was very helpful and VERY patient. I passed 1st time with 3 minors. Highly recommended.
Benito Mancini 11/12/2008
A and M motoring! good choice! - I was recommended to learn to drive with Matt from two different people so thought, this guy must be good! Although i did think he would fit the criteria of my idea of a stereotypical driving instructor, old and boring! But he definatly was neither of these! from my first lesson we had a laugh whilst learning to drive. It makes something as scary as driving fun :) And i passed second time! woop :)
Kirsty Warren on 25/11/2008
Thanks Rich - Thanks very much to Rich. His patience and excellent tuition made learning to drive a much more pleasant experience than I thought it would be and I passed first time. Highly recommended.
Bjorn Bayer on 16/10/2008
Great stuff - A&M were great. Matt taught me how to drive and I educated him on what was currently hot in menswear.
Richard M on 1/9/2008
Great Instructor - I had come from two different instructors before I met Matt, so i didn't have much faith in driving instructors, but he made me feel right at ease and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend A&M to anyone that wants to learn how to drive.
Romayne on 5/8/2008
1st time pass - I passed first time with Matt. I remember my first lesson when I was scared to even sit in the driving seat but Matt is such a nice guy he reassured me everything will come together and it did in a very short amount of time. Thanks for all your help and advice Matt, I could not of done it without you.
Mike Shipway on 9/7/2008
Excellent driving instructor - I understood everything he instructed me to do. He gave me lots of encouragement and confidence. He deserves a higher score than 10 ! Thank you Matt for helping me to pass my test.
Michael Heron on 19/5/2008
Excellent teacher - after changing to A&M School of Motoring from a previous instructor, I found that the level of teaching was excellent. The instructor was patient and friendly and the lessons were reasonable in price but extremely good value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending A&M.
Yvette Rosolek on 24/2/2008
Quick pass - Matt was fantastic. I had 5 lessons and passed first time. Thanks Matt.
Lillo Banetta on 12/2/2008
Best experience of my life - Even though I have only had 7 lessons I know that driving is for me. From the minute you get in the car, your made to feel at ease, the instructors are patient (believe me, they need it with me!) and take their time to make sure that you understand everything. I feel like my life has already changed and I haven’t even passed my test yet. Every lesson just gets better and better and better.
