Recommendation for Silvano - driving instructor

[andreww]

Silvano has asked me to write a review here, so hello to everyone else on the forum!

You can contact Silvano here: http://www.freeindex.co.uk/profile%28silvano%29_270165.htm

After failing 10 tests over eight years and trying out my luck four different test centres with numerous driving instructors, I thought I would never be able to drive. It was immensely frustrating and I was filled with shame at not having passed after so many attempts. It was a real psychological burden to me.

My girlfriend found Silvano online after seeing the reviews here. With Silvano, I passed first time with him (on the hardest possible route on the West Wickham driving test - west on the A2022 and then north up Gravel Hill). After this I can say all the brilliant reviews here are fully justified. The driving examiner even complimented me on the quality of my driving, saying the three errors I received had literally just been in the last few minutes of the test.

The reason why I passed with Silvano is that he had managed to see the errors I had been making that had led me to fail my previous tests. He spotted every single thing I did wrong and provided feedback on it. Importantly, he spotted that I had not been scanning the road as much as I should have done. When I needed to stretch my skills, he took me to challenging roads in Croydon to make sure I could perform under the stress of the test.

Needless to say, Silvano was always on time, polite, professional and even made efforts for me to do lessons early in the morning before I started work. Also note that he has the highest official grade for an Approved Driving Instructor which only a very small percentage of driving instructors have.

To use the DSA cliche, Silvano has very much given me a skill for life. For this, I will always be grateful for his help and give him my fullest recommendation. After so many attempts, I doubt you will find an instructor this good anywhere else in London.

Thanks again Silvano!
