Brothers Josh and Alex from
Whitton both passed first time.
Here is his Mum, Lisa’s Facebook
review.
“I’m very proud to say that both of
my sons have now achieved a first
time pass with Filby Driver
Training. Darren is the best driving
instructor you’ll ever find. He is
very calm and patient and teaches
to an extremely high standard. My
sons have very different
personalities and Darren very
quickly identified that they required a different
style of lesson. I would have no hesitation in
recommending him as a very competent driving
instructor.”

instructor and I highly
recommend Filby Driver

learn. I was naturally quite
nervous approaching this course but Darren was
so patient and made me feel very comfortable

hour before my test. He was amazing at helping
me manage my nerves, learn techniques to allow
for impeccable driving and most importantly,
pushing me to enjoy the whole experience. Darren

Here is her 5 star Google Review. I
also taught her brother Zak, who
also passed 1st time.
”Darren was recommended to me
by a relative and now I will be
recommending him to anyone else
that needs lessons. He is always
reliable and professional. His
lessons are fun but at the same time you achieve a
lot within them. His teaching methods put you at
ease and calm any nerves that you may have and
you can go into the test with confidence that he
has helped anyway possible. I passed first time
and this is down to Darren being so nice and
always persevering with me. Would highly
recommend!! Thank you Darren.”
Naomi from Whitton passed her
test. Here are the kind words
Naomi emailed me.
"What stood out to me most was
Darren's thoroughness and
conscientiousness. He wasn't just
trying to help me scrape through
the test, but was aiming for me to get a
comfortable pass and to be the best driver I could
possibly be. He is also extremely efficient and
reliable and always had time to answer my
questions, however basic they might have been."
Rowan from Osterley passed her test first time in
her own vehicle. No photo, but here is her 5 star
Google review:
“Darren is a fantastic driving instructor. He is
always helpful, patient, professional and reliable,
and has been exceptionally understanding and
flexible during recent Covid-19 related logistical
challenges. Darren is experienced and passionate
about teaching and always provides up-to-date and
thorough knowledge of current driving and
assessment standards. While Darren knows how to
push you to your potential, he also allows you to
determine your own pace or style of learning.
Darren helped me reach my goal of becoming a
safe, competent and confident driver, and through
this process I was able to pass my test first time.
Whether you are starting from scratch or want to
touch up on existing competencies, I would
recommend Darren”
Kush from Whitton passed
with a perfect ZERO FAULT
test in his own vehicle. Here
is his 5 star Google review.
I’m extremely grateful to
have had Darren as my
driving instructor. He is
patient, knowledgeable and
quick to diagnose a
learner’s weaknesses before guiding them
towards improvement at their own pace. His love
for his job is evident in his teaching style, which
is tailored to each of his learner drivers and
helps them reach their potential.
He was even considerate enough to give up his
free time and schedule an extra lesson for me
close to my test date, which proved invaluable in
retrospect. I would thoroughly recommend him
to any learner driver and am looking forward to
taking his motorways course soon.”

for being such a fantastic,
enthusiastic and supportive driving instructor. I really
couldn’t of done it without him. I had only been
driving for a very short time when I approached
Darren for lessons, he was very flexible and made
time for me in his busy schedule. I always felt I could
ask Darren any driving question and he would not
only always know the answer but would explain it in
such an understandable way - this massively built up
my confidence on the road. Thank you Darren again, I
will miss our lessons! I highly recommend Darren to

Ben passed 1st time at Isleworth
Test Centre. Here is his 5 star
Google review.
"I started learning with Darren in
January 2022, after getting a
referral from my sister – who
Darren provided a refresher driving course with.
Darren was calm, patient, and consistent in his
teaching. He was professional throughout my
learning journey, and I am extremely appreciative
of his support – particularly at a time when the
industry is facing so many problems with backlogs,
heaping pressure onto learners."
Darren is a thorough teacher and leaves no stone
unturned when guiding students through the test
area, exam requirements and general good driving
practise. I would wholeheartedly recommend
Darren to any learners in the Isleworth area that
are looking for an instructor.”
Ruby passed first time at Isleworth Test
Centre. Here is her 5 star Google
Review:
"There are no words to explain how
amazing Darren is. I have been learning
to drive for around 10 years, I have never
been confident, I was
always confused and no one answered the questions I
wanted answered, I went with various different
instructors, losing all hope I had, until my friend
introduced me to Darren! In just a few lessons with
Darren I went from saying I can’t do it, to taking every
opportunity I can get to drive with my family and friends.
I’m still astonished how in such a short time my
confidence in driving went from 0-100. Darren answered
every question I had, he would explain things in ways to
make you understand, instead of getting angry or
annoyed when you don’t get it. He showed me how to
drive properly, showing easier ways to help you,
especially with manoeuvres and all and he always gave
me time. 2 years working with Darren and I can finally
say I am a driver, passing my test just a few days ago, I
would have done my test earlier but because of covid
things took a long time. Thank you so much Darren for
proving to me I can do it and for building my strength up
and for helping me accomplish this great achievement
that I thought I’d never be able to do, and I honestly
appreciate everything you have done for me".
Alfie passed first time at Isleworth Test Centre.
Here is his Mum’s 5 star Google Review
"Darren at Filby Driver Training is an excellent
driving instructor. Darren taught my 19 year old
son to drive, after he had to wait for the
pandemic to ease and the chaos that followed
with waiting times for lessons and tests. At all
times Darren was honest and realistic. It was
imperative for my sons work that he learnt to
drive with a professional and experienced instructor. Darrens
communication and straight forward approach undoubtedly
contributed to how much my son enjoyed learning to drive and he
succeeded to pass his test first time adding to Darrens exceptional
record. Filby Driver Training was recommended by a friend and I
would wholeheartedly forward this recommendation to those seeking
an honest, reliable and experienced driving instructor."
