Today I passed my test with the help from the most amazing instructor I could ask for, Sarah has been nothing but supportive and helping me along my journey. I would most definitely recommend Rio Driving School to anybody and everybody that came my way, they go at your pace but push you to be the best driver that you can be.

I can’t recommend Johnathan enough, he’s incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. I passed first time thanks to him and I can’t thank him enough. If you’re someone who’s anxious I would recommend John as he explains everything very clearly and has a folder full of useful photos which he uses to show exactly what he’s explaining. Thank you Johnathan.

Couldn't recommend Paul high enough, after changing back in September to Rio, he has made my daughters driving lessons far more enjoyable and relatable. Thank you so much for everything you have done, it's been a wonderful experience as a parent let alone the student to see the progression in a short space of time ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I will 100% recommend if you wish to learn to drive no matter what skill or mind set, once you are in the car, it’s a calming atmosphere all anxiety of driving goes.

Today (18/5/2023) is the day I passed my test and it was all thanks to Paul, with the time, patience and faith he had with me every single lesson, every lesson was adjusted to suit the skill I needed to learn that week and from day 1 I felt comfort with driving as my skill grew each week, I had no experience of being behind the wheel yet now it’s crazy how much I have learnt, I am eternally thankful and grateful for all your help Paul, couldn’t have done it without you.

Just under 2 months before my test date I needed to change instructors as they wanted me to push my test back until September and didn’t want me to take the test in July time. As there was a back log of tests, there was no tests until December time, therefore I needed to find a new instructor who could help me to pass my test in a shorter notice. I messaged a lot of instructors, but some wanted more notice or some was fully booked. I explained my current situation to Rio Driving Instructor Gary who said it was no problem at all and got me learning with him straight away. Since then, I have learnt a lot of knowledge from him and most of all past my test first time, because of Gary. Not only did Gary believe in me and give me confidence within my driving through numerous mock tests, he also gave me the privilege of using his instructor car for the test which i needed.
Massive Thank you to Gary who got me through my test, highly recommend him as a driving instructor for lichfield test centre.

Hi, thankyou for all the help on passing my practical test I couldn't have done it without you.
My Instructor Gary was a great help as he was always pushing me and encouraging me to be better even when I lost confidence in myself. I think what helped me the most was how patient he was with me even when I would make mistakes. Learning to drive on active roads can be a very stressful situation so having a calming presence to accompany me was very helpful. Just wanted to say thankyou for all that you've done and that I would highly recommend Rio Driving School to any learners out there!

I had Lee as my driving instructor and he’s very friendly, makes you feel calm if you have any nerves. He has helped me come a long way and has helped me to get the pass that I wanted.

Can not recommend Lee Morton enough. I started lessons with him after several issues with a previous instructor, and he could not have been more understanding and patient with me. Immediately I felt at ease in the car with Lee, and I always felt he wanted nothing but the best for me in my driving. I passed my test today thanks to Lee, and the only sad part was having to now say goodbye to him. Thank you for everything, I cannot thank you enough.

100% recommend to others. I have booked lessons with Peter Chopra . Fantastic driving instructor, brilliantly patient and very friendly. Never cancelled lessons, always on time if not early. Peter always informs me about my next lessons few days before so I can easily plan my week ahead. Excellent in explaining things. Very professional and helpful. He is always calm and makes me feel confident. Peter is a top driving instructor. Highly recommended.

highly recommend rio driving school.paul has been teaching me and you can't get any better.great instructor and built my confidence massively.I was so nervous and such low confidence before i met Paul and now i have no problems.I even went out last night and picked everyone up and dropped them off, I wouldn't of done that before as i would of panicked and wouldn't of believed i could do it.I have my test in a few weeks and genuinely believe I will pass this time.I done a course with someone else beforehand and it was a total waste of time and money
I found Paul and he taught me everything properly and have no issues or struggles once shown. definitely recommend rio dont look elsewhere youve found the best already
