I wouldn't have been able to pass first time with no minors resulting in a clean sheet without Shirley. She is the best driving instructor anyone could have and always made sure we didn't move on from an area/subject until I was confident with it. I am the 3rd generation in my family to learn with Castle and can see why! Always had a good time on lessons and looked forward to it at the end of the week, going to miss the lessons and seeing Shirley every week.
Thank you Castle and Shirley for making me a more confident driver.
Jasmine Coleman(Aged 17), Colchester
Shirley is an absolutely amazing driving instructor. From me not knowing anything about how to drive a car, she teached me everything, till my first time pass on the test. It's been great experience of seeing myself getting better with every lesson, for which I am grateful.

I had such an amazing experience with Paul.He is very easy to talk to and have some fun conversations with. He was very understanding and focused with how I was getting on during the lessons. The mock tests were very helpful and put it into perspective how the real thing would go. Paul's patience and encouragement really made a difference in my confidence. He explained things clearly and simply. My experience was fantastic, and I recommend Castle to anyone who is thinking about taking the plunge. Very happy with my result, and I'll be back in a few months to do some motorway driving practice!

Matt is an absolutely fantastic driving instructor. Always on time and very communicative around scheduling lessons and re-scheduling if needed when I had other commitments. He made every part of the learning experience easy to understand and even fun. In the end I needed to take multiple tests due to getting very stressed around the test itself. Matt was excellent at persevering with me, filling me with confidence and making sure I could get that pass result. I'd like to thank him and Castle Driving School - this has been a great experience and I would recommend using this company to anyone
