​Our TDS Success Stories in 2025
This year, we have seen an outstanding number of our students pass their driving tests on the first attempt, many with only a handful of minor faults. The dedication, patience, and professionalism of our instructors have been repeatedly highlighted in student feedback, and it’s clear that our approach—adapting lessons to each individual’s needs and creating a supportive, friendly learning environment—makes a real difference.

“Thank you to Antonino—a great, kind, patient instructor who helped me pass my driving test on 15th March. His lovely, calm personality was exactly what I needed while dealing with a lot of stress in my personal life while trying to get a license. I highly recommend Ant to anyone and I wish him all the very best!”
— Aggy

“I was really nervous about learning to drive and even more about taking my driving test. However, Antonino is an amazing driving instructor. He prepared me so well for the exam that I passed it first time. His teaching methods and tips are great for learners. If you are serious about passing first time, listen to him about your weaknesses and strengths and follow his advice and you will pass.”
