I'd like to endorse Silvano as a driving instructor. I was a 'mature student' and have recently passed thanks to him. Silvano is extremely thorough, patient and helpful. I did it in around the number of hours the DSA says is average, however thanks to Silvano, I passed first time with practically a clean sheet. I probably would have had a good (but not as good) chance of passing with less hours, however, I would not have been as proficient, safe and well-rounded driver as I am now thanks to him. His pass-record and other recommendations speaks for itself. I whole-heartedly endorse him if you want to not only pass your test, but learn to drive safely. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. His contact details are: [email protected] 07702 615834

My son has today passed his driving test (1st attempt with only 2 minor faults) and I thought I'd recommend his instructor in case anyone is looking for a good local driving instructor. I found Silvano through the forum and would thoroughly recommend him. He's a great instructor who is committed to making sure his students become competent and, above all, safe drivers. His phone number is : 07702 615834. Email: [email protected]

A second recommendation for Silvano!


I used this forum to find a driving instructor for my husband and ended up going with Silvano (Silvano Bozza ([email protected], 07702 615 834)because he came highly recommended. My husband was really impressed with him and has asked me to post the following:


Silvano is excellent - I cannot recommend him highly enough. I finally learned to drive at 33 years old to make life easier with two young children. He seemed dedicated not only to helping me pass my test but to ensuring that I learned to drive safely and to a very high standard. As a result I passed first time with only one minor fault. His rates were very reasonable and excellent value for money considering the quality of instruction. He was also very flexible, accommodating lessons around my work and family commitments. And, he is a lovely guy so a real pleasure to learn with.

I would also like to recommend Silvano.

I have just passed my test on the first attempt with only 3 minors which is a testament to his excellent teaching. Silvano is very patient and understanding. He really takes the time to explain everything thoroughly which enstils confidence behind the wheel, but also ensures that you become a very safe driver. I really enjoyed my lessons with him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive or for some refresher lessons.

I'd also like to recommend Silvano. My daughter passed first time last week, with only three minor faults. She was totallycomfortable with Silvsno, he gave her confidence from the very beginning. He is patient and calm, and very thorough in the preparation he gives his pupils. He wants them to be safe on the road, not just pass their tests. He is also extremely reliable,rarely changing or cancelling booked lessons. We feel very lucky to have found Silvano and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

I cannot praise Silvano enough! BIG recommendation from me. He is patient, calm, understanding, thorough and best of all, lovely!

I passed first time with only two faults.

He is very realistic about how many lessons you will need and constantly updates you on your progress which I found really helpful.

Do what he says and you can't go wrong.

Thanks Silvano!

Fresh in the afterglow of my 18 yr old daughter passing her test first time yesterday with mimimal faults (only 3!) I would like to recommend the fabulous Silvano Bozza (07702 615834. His amazing skills, patience and kindness paid off and he makes it his personal mission to turn his students into really excellent drivers. We couldn't be more delighted and are so relieved that we found him. Thank you Silvano!

I can highly recommend Silvano Bozzo (07702 615834) for driving instruction. I passed my test yesterday at first attempt. :) Silvano is patient, calm, detailed and thorough. He sends feedback and practice tips after every lesson, and explains everything clearly. He was concerned to make sure that I become a safe driver for the future, as well as pass my test. Thanks to Silvano I feel very confident in my driving. Georgina

Silvano Bozza recently taught my son to drive and pass his test. We chose him after reading glowing reviews on the East Dulwich forum and we were not disappointed. Silvano is a patient, meticulous and friendly driving instructor who really cares about his customers. Would thoroughly recommend Silvano to anyone seeking an excellent driving instructor.
  • 3 weeks later...
I'd also like to recommend Silvano Bozza, a fantastic instructor. I'm a 28 and wanted to learn before I put it off again! I found Silvano on here and was eager to learn with him as he had such good reviews. He deserves all the praise he gets - he is patient, thorough and fully engaged throughout the lesson. He teaches you to become a safe and confident driver without any bad habits. I usually had 1 lesson a week but Silvano was accommodating to my changing schedule. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly recommend Silvano Bozza. I am in my mid 30s, no previous driving experience and passed first time with 4 minor faults. Silvano teaches you not only the basic skills you might need to pass your test but how to drive safely in different road conditions. This is a very good value for your money. The service Silvano offers is impecable. He was always punctual and flexible when I needed to change lesson times and start/end places. The quality of the lessons were outstanding. Silvano is an experienced instructor and adapts very well to your learning pace. Highly recommended.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!


I passed my driving test first time after learning with Silvano Bozza, with 3 minors.


In some ways more importantly than for the test Silvano teaches you how to be a conscientious and safe driver for the future. He is a very good, easy going teacher. It is not always, I imagine, an easy job teaching learner drivers but Silvano is exceptionally calm, patient and understanding with a close eye for detail. Plus we had a laugh!


He was always on time and very strong on communication, super thorough and all in all a great guy.


Would highly, highly recommend - get in touch now!!

I would also like to highly recommend Silvano Bozza. He is such a gentlemen and because of him I passed first time. His methods meant that apart from some initial nerves, the lesson was an absolute breeze with just 7 minor faults. I also knew the roads on the test like the back of my hand which meant less unexpected things to worry about on test day.


Shame I won't really get to see him again!

Having found recommendations for Silvano as a driving instructor on this forum, I have now passed with him with only 2 minor faults last week!


I was very nervous about driving in the beginning, but within a few lessons I felt at ease and feel able to drive safely in a variety of different situations and conditions. Silvano has been extremely patient with me and he is very friendly, caring and supportive, helping me to feel well prepared for the test and battle the nerves.


I would highly recommend Silvano to anyone looking for an instructor.

Just wanted to recommend my driving instructor, Silvano bozza. I have just passed my test first time with Silvano and would highly recommend him. I was very nervous taking my first ever driving lessons in my mid 30s and Silvano was so patient and encouraging. He not only gives you the skills you need to pass the test but also to be a safe and competent driver afterwards too. Also, and importantly I think, Silvano is lovely to get on with and chat to whilst you're learning and very supportive too. His email address is:

I can also highly recommend for Silvano. I'm an older, experienced driver who needed to get his UK permit but in doing so had to unlearn loads of old/bad habits. Silvano is extremely patient, thorough and supportive in his approach. I passed on my first attempt with just one minor fault. Anyone looking for a driving instructor should give Silvano a try.
  • 2 weeks later...
Another glowing recommendation for Silvano, who is thorough, professional and understanding. My son passed this week and found him to be an excellent teacher. His patience and attention to detail meant my son was prepared in the best possible way for not just his test, but future driving.

If you want to learn to drive, or get a refresher you must hire Silvano Bozza's time. I contacted him in spring 2018 and he was full. I reached out to other instructors, I either had no response or they too were full. Then to my surprise Silvano contacted me asking if I still needed lessons, I still haven't heard from anyone else!



While I had driven in the states for 17 years (manual too), I had not driven for the last 10 years I have been living in London. The thought of driving on the left side of the road, with narrow roads and cars parked everywhere caused me considerable panic.


After a few lessons, I gained confidence even though some days I thought 'I am NEVER going to pass' - the lessons seemed really hard. But Silvano was patient, clear with instruction and even corrected my bad habits.


I probably should have practiced in my own time more, but he prepared me so well for the practical test, I passed with only 1 fault (stopped at red light too close to a parked car).


Silvano is not just teaching you how to pass the practical test, he is teaching you how to drive: safely, confidently and happy! We also had great laughs during our lessons.


I can't say enough about Silvano, if you can wait for his availability you should, you won't be sorry.

I agree with everything others are saying about Silvano. I too have recently passed with only 1 fault having not driven since moving to London 17 years ago! He was extremely patient with me even during my moments of mad frustration and I'll be eternally grateful for his services. If you need lessons, beginners or refreshers, definitely get in touch with Silvano.
  • 2 weeks later...

I highly recommend Silvano. I'm a new learner, and right from the start he has been very patient and understanding. Very flexible with the lesson plans. He has worked very diligently and supported me through some very challenging lessons. He gets to the root of any problems you are having and he's very methodical in teaching you to overcome bad habits. I feel i am now a safe and confident driver. Thanks to him i was able to get over my nerves on test day and pass with 4 minor faults. Excellent instructor. I can't rate him highly enough!

Silvano Bazzo really does have a glowing reputation and many recommendations, but alas when I contacted him for a refresher course he was fully booked! He was kind enough to point me to this forum to help find another instructor and I found Nick Pauli of the Nicholas Driving Academy with whom I've just finished 5 refresher lessons, and I couldn't be happier!

Nick was friendly, knowledgeable and on the ball, so even though I hadn't driven since passing my test a year and a half ago, my confidence grow quickly and felt safe knowing even if I made a mistake he was quick to correct and help me. He's local so knows the area like the back of his hand and was incredibly flexible with lessons which was perfect as I work night shifts.

He can be found at nicholasdrivingacademy.co.uk or on 07956221706

If you need a driving instructor to teach you how to drive for life and help you pass your test, I highly recommend Silvano Bozza ([email protected]). With his help, I passed my driving test a couple of months ago.

I had a few instructors in the past but Silvano was the only one who actively tought me the essential elements of driving, like looking properly in the mirrors and acting upon what I was seeing there. He made me understand how cars work and I learned from him how to feel in control of the car. The communication was excellent and he has great sense of humour. You can tell he is passionate about teaching driving skills and I warmly recommend him as a brilliant driving instructor. Thank you, Silvano!

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
