Driving Lessons Blackheath Village
“It was an enjoyable experience. At first, of course I found the experience of learning to drive very daunting. Tim, was very supportive and encouraging and I always felt that I had him supporting me. Made the learning process very pleasant.”
“Tim as an instructor is the ultimate perfectionist but he will ensure you achieve every part of the driving experience to
the highest of your ability. So as a learner, you feel in safe hands. Everything you cover is test related and I always felt Tim wanted me to do well. I can’t imagine being taught in other way as I feel confident with driving even routes I am unsure of. I feel that I wouldn’t be a threat to any other road users and that I was taught with safety as the main priority. Having passed my test, I would definitely go back to Tim for Advanced Lessons just to ensure proper safety on aspects that the test doesn’t cover.”
“Tim is a funny, supportive and understanding instructor who not only made me pass my test but gave me a huge amount of confidence in all aspects of my driving. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons and always wanted to ensure all parts of my driving were up to Tim’s very high standards. He was absolutely fabulous and I am very much going to miss all aspects of my driving experience. Thanks a million, Tim.”

“Thank you so much for everything! Still hasn’t sunk in that I passed. It all went so quick. It was only a few months ago that I was starting! I don’t think I would have passed with anyone else. Thanks for believing in me! I did it!!” Georgiana Spinks of Lee Green

“Tim, I have two words for you,
Amazing instructor! I just want to say a massive thank you for what you have done for me. I know for a fact I wouldn’t have got this far without your guidance. Passing my driving test is something I know will change my life and I am so thankful that I chose you to help me get to where I am now. I will most definitely recommend you to everyone that I know. Once again, thank you so much. All the best for the future Tim.” Luke Stopperton of Eltham

"Tim is a great driving instructor; clear, patient and calm without being condescending or dragging out the experience as some do. Having had two terrible experiences with other instructors in the past I wasn’t particularly at ease behind the wheel but Tim helped me get past my nerves of driving in London and I passed my test on my second attempt." Nick Coveney of Blackheath
Driving School Lewisham
"Couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! Tim gave me the confidence and motivation needed to drive properly and safely on the road. All of which has paid off now that I have passed my test! I would definitely recommend to friends or anyone who is looking for a really good driving instructor. You definitely won’t want to change instructor with this driving school! Absolutely worth the money. Big thank you for everything!!!!" Sara Singh of Lewisham

"(5 Stars) Tim was a calm and clear instructor who got me to a test standard in what seemed like a quick period of time. He was flexible in fitting my lessons round work commitments and the car was great to drive… Much better value than BSM! Highly recommended (and I got a first time pass – cheers Tim!)" Adrian Dalmedo of Greenwich
Driving Lessons Hither Green
"To anyone looking for an instructor in the Hither Green/ Blackheath/ Lewisham area, I couldn’t recommend Tim Mountain of A-star driving school highly enough. Having found his site though a search on google and a brief chat over the phone where he offered a great deal of 11 lessons for the price of ten, I decided to go ahead and give driving a whirl. I had never driven before so was starting from scratch! The lessons start very slowly, the first lesson we literally drove a few meters and I have to admit I worried that it would take me forever to learn. However as the lessons progressed in pace I realised that these early lessons are crucial to give you a really strong knowledge base so you gain a solid understanding of how the car actually works. Tim was flexible in the timing of lessons, when I started I needed early morning sessions which he was happy to accommodate and then I switched to early evening sessions and he was able to give me 3 hours a week. The roads are quite testing in Hither green’s test centre catchment area, so I would imagine as an instructor you have you have your wits about you when teaching a nervous driver who is struggling with the clutch! Tim was at all times calm and reassuring, even after what I will always know as the great ‘roundabout gate’ debacle of 2013 which scarred me for life, but Tim didn’t bat an eyelid! Tim is a perfectionist, he won’t let you get away with sloppiness – he doesn’t just teach you how to pass the test, he teaches you to really drive safely and have a good awareness of the impact of any mistakes. After every lesson you work through any errors and how to correct them so you are always building on your technique. His reassurance and good humor ensure that you feel confident the whole time, he is not an instructor that you dread seeing due to relentless small talk, he is a real professional and you will be focusing on your driving rather than catching up on each others weeks! That said, once you have built up a rapport we had a real giggle, with a ‘clutch of learners’ and the large bottom incident at hither green station to name just a few! I was very nervous going into my test, Tim has an hour with you before hand and really puts you at ease. I was convinced I’d fail as I didn’t have that much self confidence! But I passed first time with only 6 minor faults and was over the moon! Thank you very much Tim for all your support & wisdom over the last few months, and for anyone considering using Tim, go for it." Joni Sloan of Hither Green
Driving Instructor Blackheath Village
"Simply put, Tim is a brilliant driving instructor and a great guy as well. I hadn’t driven for 12 years before I started lessons with Tim and it took Tim only 8 lessons (2 hours each) to get me successfully through my driving test… with only two minors!! I certainly feel it would have taken a lot longer with another instructor but Tim instilled confidence in me from the start. Tim is not only a very skilled instructor but he has a great way of communicating and getting his point across without making you lose confidence. He is genuine and is only interested in doing the best by his students which is getting them successfully through their test in as short a timeframe as is possible & sensible. I really looked forward to my lessons with Tim and enjoyed his company while I was learning in his fantastic car. I will always recommend anyone looking to learn to drive to call Tim. He offers great value, great tuition, great company and great results." Paul Walton of Blackheath Village
