Elite Driving School York

General information

We are very fortunate to have so many brilliant customer reviews and these are just a few of the many we receive:
Thankfully my friend had Stuart as an Instructor and was telling me how good he was. I felt like I was getting nowhere with my previous instructors so I decided to try out Elite. When I first met my Instructor Stuart he was really friendly and made me feel comfortable! Each lesson got better and better and Stuart was very flexible and easy to book lessons with. I've enjoyed learning to drive with Stuart and will miss our funny and random conversations.

I recommend Stuart to anyone and everyone he is such a relaxed Instructor and he strives to get the best out of his pupils! You will have a hard time finding a better Instructor. Very pleased.
from Lauran Gentre Hull

I have just passed my driving test first time thanks to my Instructor James, he was a really good teacher and really helped my confidence. I would recommend Elite to other people as they were very helpful and flexible during my intensive driving course.
From Samantha Richardson Hull

When I first thought about driving lessons the idea of being behind the wheel terrified me, Tony made me feel completely safe and at ease throughout my lessons and had a lot of patience when it came to my perfectionist nature doing things again and again if I wasn’t completely pleased with myself. My lessons were very flexible, picking me up and dropping me off wherever it was convenient for me and my lessons were always on time.
Tony hasn’t just taught me to drive, he’s taught me to have confidence in myself and my abilities and for that I can’t thank him enough. Brilliant driving instructor and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
from Megan Derbyshire Hedon

I would like to thank Elite and Pete my Instructor who was fantastic in learning me how to drive and pass my test 1st time and with only 2 minors. My girlfriend went with him years ago to learn so I decided I would too and what a great choice it was, couldn't be happier, great instructor who really knows how to get the best from you. Highly recommend anyone to take up lessons with him or Elite. Thank you very much.
From Chris Dickinson Hull

I have wasted time and money taking 2-3 driving lessons every couple of years and just not following through. After having a few Instructors over the years I can honestly say you'll have a hard time finding a better instructor. Stuart gave me the confidence, the information and most of all the motivation I needed to pass my test.
From Matthew Clark, Hedon

I would like to thank you so much for the amount of help you have given me since starting to learn to drive with you. In the past I have had driving instructors who haven't really helped me. But I've had lessons with you for about 2 months and every minute of it has been enjoyable, when it's been hard, it's been hard and you certainly got me through all the difficulties I have had. Today I was unbelievably nervous but you believed in me and gave me the extra confidence I needed. I can't thank you enough for everything, especially moving and working to fit me. Thank you so much.
From Victoria Wadforth, Hull

I chose Elite after reading the reviews and was very eager to book my lesson because I thought it would be easier to get around with my 2 kids. I was never nervous or worried about driving because Alan made me feel comfortable and never once got impatient. He made me feel relaxed and the driving was fun. I felt that I always got my money's worth.
I would definitely recommend Alan and Elite because he is professional in what he does and he explained things to me so I understood them better.
From Stacey Carter, Hull

I made the perfect choice in choosing Pete as my Driving Instructor. He was thorough and patient with lots of useful tips on all aspects of driving. After only 6 months of tuition I was put in for my test and passed first time with only 4 minor faults. I would recommend Pete to anyone wanting a positive and relaxed driving experience. Thanks again. As you said miracles do happen. Haha!
From Craig Pindar, Brough

When I began driving I was extremely nervous and I didn't have any confidence what so ever, which made me believe my idea of passing my test quickly was impossible. However, James completely changed the way I felt about driving as he helped me conquer my confidence whilst teaching me every skill I needed to know for my driving test. My driving lessons quickly became enjoyable and much less complicated than I previously thought.
I could not have wished for a better driving instructor. James did not waste my time, money and didn't complicate any lesson, he just taught me everything I needed to know for the test and I believe it is down to him why I passed first time. Thank You!
From Heather Langton, Thorgumbald

I have just passed my practical driving test, because of my great Driving Instructor James Foston. I was not too keen on driving before I started, however as soon as I met James I was totally at ease due to his easy going and very friendly personality. Not only is he a great person but he is also a calming instructor and helps you through everything.
I would like to say thank you once again for getting me the desired pass and also thank you for the fun times I've had with him. Good luck to him for the future as well as the future clients of Elite.
From Jake Vinegrad, Hedon

Hi just want to say a massive thanks to Angus and Elite. I have just passed my driving test after taking just 16 hours of lessons. My Instructor certainly knew how to get the best results from me and passed on the skills needed so I could oasis quickly. I also wanted everyone to know my lessons where enjoyable as well as fun but Angus didn't let me off with any mistakes on my lessons, he kept reminding me if it's not right it's wrong. Once again thanks Angus. Goodbye buses, now I can drive to Uni at York. Yippee.
From Lloyd Whittleton, Beverly

I booked with Alan of Elite as a friend recommended him. I as very eager as I wanted to get my driving licence as quickly as possible but also nervous at first because my previous instructor was not as good. Alan was brilliant, fantastic with loads of patience, he made my lessons fun and enjoyable. I thought the lessons to be good value for money and will absolutely be recommending Alan and Elite.
From Nini Loo, Hull

Thank you Matt very much for everything. I wouldn't have got through it without you, at one point I didn't think I would get there, but thanks to your excellent teaching/coaching and generally supporting me, I did it!!! Well we did it.... Thanks again will be highly recommending you as an instructor.
Thanks again Matt and everyone at Elite.
From Jodie Curtis, Beverley

I couldn't believe that I had passed first time and it couldn't have been done if it wasn't for James. He's a brilliant Instructor and I always looked forward to every lesson because he explains things really well and is very patient. He's also a great guy to get along with and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel at all times.
I would highly recommend Elite Driving School and James to anyone!.
From Benjamin Fenwick, Bilton

I really do need to say that Steve is a fantastic instructor, the lessons were comfortable and easy going, and he made it much easier for me to learn than I ever thought it would be. I'm so happy that I passed my test first time around, it's really going to give me independence and it's so nice to finally not have to rely on buses or other people to get around. I can't wait to start driving!
From Enya Horton, Swanland

I found Elite on the Internet whilst looking for a quick way to pass. I was very eager to start driving as it was a necessity to pass this summer. I was really nervous at first as I didn't like my previous instructor at all but Alan was the best, he's the most amazing instructor ever, so pleased. He made me feel relaxed and we had great conversations. The lessons were great value and it was money well spent. In would recommend everyone to the school and Alan particularly.
From Sid Sharma, Hull

I was recommended Elite as they passed both my brothers. I wanted to pass my driving test before I went to University. I was nervous at first but after a few lessons I felt fine. I had a good Instructor who made the lessons fun, and I felt relaxed when driving. It is good value for money as they put a lot of effort in.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Elite as they welcome you and the service they give is good.
From Amy Hutton, Willerby

My mum booked my lessons as a birthday present, I wanted to pass as I had a car waiting for me, I was just excited to get out there and learn. My Instructor was kind, funny and most importantly she was patient, relaxed and help me pass first time. I enjoyed the whole experience and was given quality training.
I would recommend Elite and my Instructor, she was reliable, always on time and gave me the confidence I needed for my test.
From Max Bullingham, Beverley

Elite were outstanding. My decision to switch to them proved a wise one. Not only do you get the flexibility, support and value for money you would typically get, but you also receive the adaptable teaching and the kind of instructing that makes you feel at ease from day one.
Paul was extremely easy to work with and I could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you Elite!
From Jason Byre, Hessle

I was always eager to start driving and just couldn't wait to get behind the wheel. My aim was to pass as quickly as possible and James helped me to achieve exactly that! Three months after my 17th Birthday I passed first time thanks to James' brilliant teaching methods, he explained everything so well and made me feel comfortable on my lessons. Not only a great driving instructor also a brilliant man who you can always have a laugh with.
