1st Time School of Motoring, Plumstead

Well I started my driving tuition with 1st time because it was the cheapest I could find in the area. The first 4 lessons were only £60 and I even did a small amount of driving in lesson 1. The car was a new diesel corsa, which was a gem to drive. Only stalled it once. The instructor was flexible but wasn't fully qualified (ie trainee instructor). However the quality of the teaching was good. He was a bit too enthusiastic, and got frustrated sometimes, possibly because he realised my potential, and I changed to Dave Miller after 8 lessons. That was a mistake. Dave Miller was the total opposite ... more

Before starting with Steve (of 1st Time School of Motoring) I had already lost time and money with one of Dave Miller's instructors. I was quite upset and depressed and was looking for someone who I could trust and rely upon. One of my colleagues talked very high about Steve and gave me his number. That's where I came to know him. In a nut shell, my experience with Steve is second to none. I found him very friendly and very experienced. I liked his way of giving "friendly" training and the way he made me feel confident. I never had any time issues with him, in fact I found him very punctual. I ... more

Definitely one of the cheapest in Dartford. They do the 1st 4 for £60 which is good and you get a full hour lesson, as opposed to the 50 minutes I was getting before. I learnt more in one lesson than I did the 18 I had with the other schools. My instructor seemed a genuine sort of bloke who was keen to get me through my test as opposed to just taking my money every week. Can't believe how different the quality of the teaching was. It just seemed to click. The only downside was I had to change my test date cos I was ill & my instructor couldn't do the new date as he already had someone booked ... more

I had steve as my instructor, was great person to deal with. Gave me the confidence to progress quickly But at a pace that was right for me. I have been passed for 3 weeks now and i feel great even after my test i dont feel nervous driving. I get into pickles at times but just keep calm and use what i have been taught and all is well. Passed my test 1st time with 1 minor fault. Broke bad habbits that i had if you are not concentrating would let me know but you need that little reminder at times and to be honest the day of my test helped me keep my calm. With him there i felt like a normal ... more

Wen I decided to choose a driving school, I was a bit confused and kind of just said they were all the same. On a stroll around the neighbourhood, I came across a car parked with the logo of '1st Time School of Motoring'. The instructor, Steve gave me details and promised to call him that night. Right from the first day of interaction, Steve showed consistency in being frank, straight forward and thorough. For every lesson, if you do a particular mistake ten times, Steve will not hesitate to tell you your faults and the consequences of that fault to you, your family, other road users and the ... more
