Lendrums Driving School Winchester

I had Martin as my driving instructor and I passed first time. He is very calm and explains things clearly. He is very experienced and I would recommend him to all my friends.

Really helpful driving school who offered great lessons and got me the pass in the end. Would recommend martin, a great instructor who offered helpful lessons and advice and didn't push unnecessary tips or ideas.

I had 10 hours of lessons with Martin as my instructor. He taught me the basics of driving but I couldnt stand to have anymore lessons with him. He pushed booking another block very often. He would show up 30 mins early, and was sometimes late by 10-20 mins and wouldnt apologise for being late. Often i tried to make conversation with him but he didnt really reciprocate so it often felt awkward with him, so we only ever spoke about driving. He was very condescending. If I stalled, which I didnt do a lot for a brand new learner driver, he would get very irritated. One time I stalled he went off at me. In our last couple of lessons he was incredibly patronising. Martin was also made aware that Im dyspraxic, which means I have a coordination disability, and he didnt really seem to acknowledge this especially when I would get confused or take longer to process instructions. He also always said my name wrong. The first time I drove home after a lesson, I became confused by his directions. He was in the middle of a phone call, I stopped because I didnt know where I was going and he snatched the wheel and steered for me, not saying anything but coming across as angry. I think this was the last lesson I had with him. Im sure the other instructors are very nice and good at teaching - but I really would not recommend having Martin at all. Not worth the money, generally rude and not understanding. Was really disappointing.

Hi am glad to tell that I had passed my driving practical test in first chance. My instructor was Ken Henderson whom I would like to recommend. He made me more comfortable with driving. I was new to UK and came from an entirely different driving country. He made me able in just 10 lessons. Other than other driving schools he didnt try to push more classes. Even though we had planned a certain area of driving one day but if I grasp that earlier in the lesson timing , he had gone to next level than just trying to lag and push another lesson. As am a key worker he hadnt made me waiting due to covid reasons. He was really helpful and was flexible for timings. I would like to recommend lendrums and Ken as the best one. Glad to pass with 3 minors in first attempt Woohaaahhhh....

Jason is a very good driving instructor and helped me pass in a short time period. Would highly recommend using him as your instructor.
