💪🔥💥ZERO FAULT PASS- 💥🔥💪

Congratulations to the amazing Faye B who blitzed her automatic driving test today 19th October 2026 at West Wickham, Bromley by putting in the perfect drive and making no mistakes at all!

This was such a well- deserved result for Faye as she had put in so much time recently, working really hard to develop her driving in the areas she felt were most difficult- roundabouts and crossroads.

By today's lesson, there was only one thing that could have stopped her from passing- those dreaded nerves. But she held it together, even using a funny little calming trick I'd found on Instagram this morning.

Faye, what a fun pupil you have been. From the quiet, reserved girl on our first lesson to one I couldn't ever get to be quiet, I've thoroughly enjoyed it all!

I can't wait to see you on the road- your car is waiting for you!

My Pupil's Own Words:

HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN A WAY THAT MAKES IT EASY TO UNDERSTAND

"I would highly recommend Matt Shurmer Driving School to anyone looking for automatic driving lessons in West Wickham, Bromley!

I chose Matt because I wanted an instructor who would make me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, and he has been amazing throughout the whole process.

His teaching methods are clear, patient and supportive, and he explains everything in a way that makes it easy to understand.

Learning to drive was less stressful than I expected because he helped me build my confidence and improve at my own pace.

Being able to drive will give me so much more independence and freedom in everyday life.

I’m so grateful for all his help and support, and I would definitely recommend Matt to friends and family looking for a friendly, reliable and professional driving instructor.

Thank you for everything, Matt!"

🔥🔥🔥FIRST TIME TEST PASS- ONLY 3 FAULTS 💪💪💪

Congratulations to Tammy A from Bromley who passed her automatic driving test today 4th September 2026 FIRST TIME with only 3 driving faults!

Tammy came to me after doing lessons elsewhere for a while, but didn't feel she was progressing enough, or understood enough, about what she was trying to do. Tammy likes explanations so she can understand the 'why' something has to be done.

I also had taught her husband a few years ago, so we already had that knowledge of eachother which definitely helped.

Tammy made quick progress with me, and i was able to focus on the little wins she could make in her driving which could make a big difference to how the driving and the car 'felt'.

With a pressurised job, and a busy homelife, lots of my work was just trying to get her to give herself breathing space, and a feel of calm control, rather than rushing along.

She put all of those bits together into a fab test drive! Well done Tammy 💪💪💪

🔥⭐💪SECOND TIME TEST PASS- JUST 3 FAULTS💪⭐🔥

Well done to Reece B who passed his automatic driving test today 11th July 2026 at West Wickham Bromley, at the second attempt with only 3 driving faults.

After the first few lessons where he had to battle his way through, he then suddenly developed in confidence and ability- like a light switch going on.

From then on, most of the challenge was trying to contain his confidence, as he was happy to take on all challenges and developments in his driving.

I think we were both maybe a little overconfident with his first test, as I was so surprised when it didn't happen for him, but he put the disappointment behind him and was fortunate to get a quick test date.

He felt a lot more comfortable with this test, and got his rewards- well done Reece!

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEARN WITH MATT

“My friend, who had recently passed her driving test, recommended Matt Shurmer Driving School to me. I was looking for an instructor who could help me overcome my nerves around driving. After doing my own research as well, I saw that Matt came highly recommended by the local community.

I’ve genuinely enjoyed learning with Matt. From my very first lesson, he made me believe that I could do it and helped calm my nerves. His teaching techniques made even the trickiest manoeuvres feel easy, especially parallel parking, which somehow seemed to work perfectly every time!

Matt was always punctual, reliable, and incredibly dedicated. Even when he wasn’t feeling his best once, he still turned up for my lessons because my driving test was approaching. That really showed how committed he is to his students.

Learning to drive has definitely been a journey for me, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Matt is truly an expert at helping his students pass first time. He carefully creates a personalised learning plan, adapts it whenever needed, and is always flexible if extra lessons are required.

Passing my test has made such a huge difference to my life. I’ll save so much time on my work commute, and I can finally take my daughter swimming whenever we want.

If you’re someone who can’t quite picture yourself driving yet but wants to give it a go, I would absolutely encourage you to learn with Matt. He has a wonderful way of building your confidence and making you believe in yourself.

I passed first time with Matt, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, supportive, and experienced driving instructor. He’s such a positive person, and I’ll always be grateful for everything he’s done to help me. Thank you so much, Matt! 😊”

👊🚗💥FIRST TIME TEST PASS💥🚗👊

Huge congratulations to Anna W of Orpington who passed her automatic driving test today 25th June 2026 FIRST TIME!

I am so pleased for you Anna because you had to work so hard to get your driving skills high enough to pass the driving test.

Anna was always super smiley during each lesson, and always worked hard between lessons writing notes on what we had covered, and what she needed to remember.

The mock tests worked really well for Anna, as she could really identify the areas she needed to improve on, and with each one she got stronger and stronger 💪💪💪

It has been great fun watching you develop and improve each week, and your attitude to learning is an absolute credit to you.

I will see you on the road!

💪🔥💥FIRST TIME TEST PASS- ZERO FAULTS 💥🔥💪

Congratulations to the lovely Imaan K from Orpington who completely smashed her automatic driving test today FIRST TIME (with me) with ZERO driving faults- a clean sheet!

Imaan came to me with a little bit of history after not being able to pass her driving test a few years previously. She had struggled with nerves and a lack of confidence.

Even on her first lesson though, after not having driven for 4 years, I could see a lovely little driver in there.

With every lesson that passed her confidence and ability grew, although that took a little longer to click when covering the manoeuvres.

On her last mock she told me that she was so much more able to know the mistakes that were made before I told her, whereas years ago she was pretty oblivious to them- this showed that she had a far better understanding of what she was trying to achieve than previously.

Imaan- you have been great. It has been really lovely getting to know you.
