I had Kate as my driving instructor for the past 6 months. Kate is a great teacher, very reliable, understanding & knew exactly how to overcome any problems. My confidence was excelled and pleased to say I passed first time with Kate. I would recommend her to anyone!!

I came to Ellison’s as a very anxious driver after having a bad experience elsewhere and was directed to Kate. She guided me through everything. Staying calm especially when I couldn’t and coaching me through every worry I had. Kate cheered me on while calmly teaching me how to improve on whatever needed work. I have now passed with only 3 minors and honestly feel I couldn’t have done it without Kate's teaching methods and understanding.

My instructor Andy (w ww.arhdriving.com)
Was everything I was hoping for, he helped me in many ways and was very invested in me passing, I couldn't have passed without him... I recommend Ellison's but I recommend Andy even more!!

I was recommended to John Ashfield by a friend, and I can confidently say it was one of the best recommendations I’ve ever received. From the very first lesson, John was incredibly patient, supportive, and always on time. His calm approach and deep, versatile knowledge of the road made learning feel less intimidating and more empowering.

I honestly never thought I could drive — but John believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. He explained things clearly, adapted his teaching style to suit my pace, and created a comfortable, encouraging environment every step of the way. Whether it was mastering roundabouts or navigating tricky parking spots, he always had a practical tip to offer.

I’m now a confident driver thanks to John, and I’ll be forever grateful. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your progress and success, I couldn’t recommend John Ashfield more highly.

After having 2 previous instructors that wasn’t the right match I then started lessons with Jason Cole and all I can say is he is absolutely amazing! He made me feel instantly comfortable and his teaching methods are amazing and effective! Never been so pleased with an instructor, passed first time too! He’s absolutely great :)

I passed my driving test today and its all thanks to Andy!! What a amazing instructor very calm, respectful, helpful and over all such a amazing guy!! Highly recommend him 👌 😁

Well what can I say about Jason Cole!!

I started taking lessons with him about 3 months ago & his methods of teaching are fantastic, from his calm personality, too his great little saying's that will say with me when I'm out driving without him. He's defiantly made leaning to drive fun. His attention to detail to fine tune your skills are what sets him apart.

I highly recommend him if anyone in the area is thinking about driving.

TLDR: Absolutely exceptional driving instructor.

I've just passed with no minors after a series of lessons with Chris. Honestly was an absolute pleasure to learn from, patient, understanding and his teaching method is absolutely fantastic. I feel so well equipped to be out on the roads now, though I will genuinely miss our lessons.
He's a very good egg, and will do his best to make your learning experience a really great one!

I had the privilege of learning to drive with Andrew Hickling (Andy), and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. When I started, I had a some bad habits for sure like driving with one hand on the wheel—but Andy helped me unlearn those and build much safer, more confident driving habits.

What I appreciated most was how carefully he watched everything and gave honest, helpful feedback throughout. He made sure I understood exactly where I needed to improve, which really helped me feel prepared when it came time for the actual test.

He’s not just a great instructor—he’s a great human being as well as a person, and it genuinely shows in the way he supports and encourages his students. I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Thanks Sir (Andy).

If driving instructors were superheroes, mine would be The Calm-nator. Patient like a monk, sharp as a hawk, and with nerves of steel (especially during my first attempt at parking 😅).

Thanks to Jason Cole, I now know my left from my right, my brake from my accelerator — and most importantly, how to survive a roundabout without causing a traffic incident.

Highly recommend if you want to learn to drive without needing therapy afterward.

I’m so grateful to have had Dan as my driving instructor. Thanks to his patience, clear guidance, and constant support, I passed my driving test today! He made every lesson enjoyable and always created a calm, positive learning environment. Even when I made mistakes, Dan encouraged me to keep going and helped me build my confidence on the road. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend Dan at Ellison’s to anyone learning to drive. Thank you so much for helping me achieve this milestone!

Huge thanks to my absolute legend of an instructor, Caroline! It’s been such an enjoyable journey with her — she was always so supportive and kind, and honestly, she believed in me even more than I believed in myself sometimes 🤣. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. So grateful to have had her guidance, and I’ll definitely miss our time together!

Adrian is an amazing instructor, the way he helped me learn was perfect for me and helped me pass first time, would recommend him and all of Ellison's as a whole.

Passed my test first time with Andy and he was amazing. Very calm, patient, respectful and very helpful. Above all just a nice guy who I would 100% recommend for anybody who is nervous about starting driving lessons.

Learning to drive was way more challenging than I expected, especially at first. I'm so grateful I had Stephan Bailey as my instructor! He was unbelievably patient and went above and beyond, making sure I was confident driving in all kinds of conditions, not just enough to pass the test. Thanks, Steve, for everything!

Fantastic experience with my instructor Adrian he was incredibly patient despite my struggles, especially at the very start.Great guy even went out of his way to teach me to drive on all roads and conditions, not just to pass my test. Thank you Adrian!

i passed my driving test first time with 0 faults thanks to James, he was very kind and patient with me and also very reliable ! Thank you so much !!!!

I passed my test in my driving test in first attempt. Thanks to Steve Patterson from ellision driving school, wellington. He was a very patient instructor and helped me throughout my classes. He adapted the classes to suit my learning methods which helped me very well. And very good advisor. I would highly recommend ellisons and Steve. You guys are the best !!

Caroline Cox is an incredible driving instructor. She took me on when I was heavily pregnant with my son and showed so much kindness, patience, and understanding—everything you could hope for in an instructor. She even let me bring my baby along when I was stuck for childcare, which meant so much to me.

Caroline’s teaching methods really suited my learning style, and thanks to her guidance and support, I passed my driving test first time with only two minors!

I would highly recommend Ellison’s School of Motoring to anyone looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and effective driving instructor.

An amazing teacher overall had fun ways to get better at certain skills also helped me get over all my anxiety while driving and made me a more confident driver and person and had fun while learning and my favourite part of learning was the games we’d play to get me to spot road signs better and rewarded by getting a milkshake at McDonalds.
