Driving School Orpington | Top Rated Local Customer Reviews

I offer the best rated, trusted and recommended tuition in Orpington
Automatic instructor providing affordable lessons for beginners and refresher sessions
Many students search for an instructor on a near me basis but I pick up and drop off in the local area so I don’t have to be the nearest
It’s often a big mistake to choose schools who are the cheapest and to buy on price alone as they may cost more to learn in the long run

We are one of the top-rated local driving schools and have been established since 2007, giving the company 15 years in providing education for drivers.

How important is quality?

Some customers might be prioritising price and convenience when choosing a driving school. But here’s an industry secret: how far away and how expensive a driving school is may not be the best variables to base your decision on!

Proximity doesn’t matter much, because most driving schools will offer ‘pickups’ and ‘drop offs’ from your home. All that matters is coverage of your area, but not the exact number of miles the driving school is from your house!

As for price, I understand the temptation in prices so low they make you do a double-take. Unfortunately, that can mean sacrificing quality of your tuition, and you can end up spending just as much (if not more) by having to continue the lessons for longer.

Matt Shurmer Driving School offers reasonable prices with the added bonus of assured quality. I am fully-qualified and registered, so you know I am up to the task, and DBS (CRB) checked for your peace of mind.

If you are nervous about driving, you can find comfort in my client-directed syllabus. Some schools/ instructors may give you no choice but to attempt a particular subject topic. I will work at your pace, and if you aren’t ready to progress I am more than happy to revisit foundations or other exercises and work on your confidence.

For lots of new, young drivers, the prospect of driving lessons is enough to induce anxiety. Matt Shurmer Driving School are committed to setting students up for success, and that means making sure you are comfortable and confident.

Regardless of whether you choose to go with me or another driving instructor in the local area, I wish you the utmost best in making your choice and meeting your goal of getting that full licence.

Just a few examples from our reviews of reasons given by learner students for recommending the driving school:

"Matt was fantastic! He was calm and clear with instructions."

"Matt made me feel very calm and I learnt new strategies which really helped my confidence and ability to drive."

"Matt was great- he pushed me to my best and I felt progress from the first lesson."

"I was very scared of driving before joining but with the fantastic help from Matt and his great teaching skills I felt confident and relaxed."

"Matt was very good- patient and helpful."

Matt Shurmer Driving School have been able to build a very reputable reputation for automatic driving lessons in Orpington by providing customer centred lessons with a strong Mission Statement of customer success. I rely enormously on recommendations to keep myself busy and I'm extremely grateful to their customers for the reviews they provide.

I would like to wish you every success in your quest to obtain your full driving licence whether you choose Matt Shurmer Driving School as your training provider or not.
