Elite Driving School A Team of professional driver trainers, who encourage reflection and involvement in the learning pro Established in 1989, we've had years to hone our skills.

Elite Driving Schools focus is to help today's young drivers learn the knowledge and skills required to drive safely on today's busy and cluttered roads. And backed by our continued professional development program, our instructors strive to teach a modern training system that reflects on a students progress. Lessons are based on a client centered approach, where students are encouraged to reflect on performance and given the freedom to explore solutions for improvement. Effectively, by putting them in control over the way that they learn best, produces better drivers in less time than the old traditional rote style of teaching. We are very proud of our past achievements, and excited about what we can acheive in the future. We are very fortunate to have so many customer reviews and we like to let previous customers talk about their experience taking driving lessons with an Elite instructor. Thankfully my friend had Stuart as an Instructor and was telling me how good he was. I felt like I was getting nowhere with my previous instructors so I decided to try out Elite. When I first met my Instructor Stuart he was really friendly and made me feel comfortable! Each lesson got better and better and Stuart was very flexible and easy to book lessons with. I've enjoyed learning to drive with Stuart and will miss our funny and random conversations. I recommend Stuart to anyone and everyone he is such a relaxed Instructor and he strives to get the best out of his pupils! You will have a hard time finding a better Instructor. Very pleased. from Lauran Gentre Hull

I have just passed my driving test first time thanks to my Instructor James, he was a really good teacher and really helped my confidence. I would recommend Elite to other people as they were very helpful and flexible during my intensive driving course. From Samantha Richardson Hull

When I first thought about driving lessons the idea of being behind the wheel terrified me, Tony made me feel completely safe and at ease throughout my lessons and had a lot of patience when it came to my perfectionist nature doing things again and again if I wasn’t completely pleased with myself. My lessons were very flexible, picking me up and dropping me off wherever it was convenient for me and my lessons were always on time. Tony hasn’t just taught me to drive, he’s taught me to have confidence in myself and my abilities and for that I can’t thank him enough. Brilliant driving instructor and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. from Megan Derbyshire Hedon

I would like to thank Elite and Pete my Instructor who was fantastic in learning me how to drive and pass my test 1st time and with only 2 minors. My girlfriend went with him years ago to learn so I decided I would too and what a great choice it was, couldn't be happier, great instructor who really knows how to get the best from you. Highly recommend anyone to take up lessons with him or Elite. Thank you very much. From Chris Dickinson Hull

I would like to thank you so much for the amount of help you have given me since starting to learn to drive with you. In the past I have had driving instructors who haven't really helped me. But I've had lessons with you for about 2 months and every minute of it has been enjoyable, when it's been hard, it's been hard and you certainly got me through all the difficulties I have had. Today I was unbelievably nervous but you believed in me and gave me the extra confidence I needed. I can't thank you enough for everything, especially moving and working to fit me. Thank you so much. From Victoria Wadforth, Hull

When I began driving I was extremely nervous and I didn't have any confidence what so ever, which made me believe my idea of passing my test quickly was impossible. However, James completely changed the way I felt about driving as he helped me conquer my confidence whilst teaching me every skill I needed to know for my driving test. My driving lessons quickly became enjoyable and much less complicated than I previously thought. I could not have wished for a better driving instructor. James did not waste my time, money and didn't complicate any lesson, he just taught me everything I needed to know for the test and I believe it is down to him why I passed first time. Thank You! From Heather Langton, Thorgumbald

I have just passed my practical driving test, because of my great Driving Instructor James Foston. I was not too keen on driving before I started, however as soon as I met James I was totally at ease due to his easy going and very friendly personality. Not only is he a great person but he is also a calming instructor and helps you through everything. I would like to say thank you once again for getting me the desired pass and also thank you for the fun times I've had with him. Good luck to him for the future as well as the future clients of Elite. From Jake Vinegrad, Hedon

Hi just want to say a massive thanks to Angus and Elite. I have just passed my driving test after taking just 16 hours of lessons. My Instructor certainly knew how to get the best results from me and passed on the skills needed so I could oasis quickly. I also wanted everyone to know my lessons where enjoyable as well as fun but Angus didn't let me off with any mistakes on my lessons, he kept reminding me if it's not right it's wrong. Once again thanks Angus. Goodbye buses, now I can drive to Uni at York. Yippee. From Lloyd Whittleton, Beverly

I booked with Alan of Elite as a friend recommended him. I as very eager as I wanted to get my driving licence as quickly as possible but also nervous at first because my previous instructor was not as good. Alan was brilliant, fantastic with loads of patience, he made my lessons fun and enjoyable. I thought the lessons to be good value for money and will absolutely be recommending Alan and Elite. From Nini Loo, Hull

Thank you Matt very much for everything. I wouldn't have got through it without you, at one point I didn't think I would get there, but thanks to your excellent teaching/coaching and generally supporting me, I did it!!! Well we did it.... Thanks again will be highly recommending you as an instructor. Thanks again Matt and everyone at Elite. From Jodie Curtis, Beverley

I couldn't believe that I had passed first time and it couldn't have been done if it wasn't for James. He's a brilliant Instructor and I always looked forward to every lesson because he explains things really well and is very patient. He's also a great guy to get along with and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel at all times. I would highly recommend Elite Driving School and James to anyone!. From Benjamin Fenwick, Bilton

I really do need to say that Steve is a fantastic instructor, the lessons were comfortable and easy going, and he made it much easier for me to learn than I ever thought it would be. I'm so happy that I passed my test first time around, it's really going to give me independence and it's so nice to finally not have to rely on buses or other people to get around. I can't wait to start driving! From Enya Horton, Swanland

I found Elite on the Internet whilst looking for a quick way to pass. I was very eager to start driving as it was a necessity to pass this summer. I was really nervous at first as I didn't like my previous instructor at all but Alan was the best, he's the most amazing instructor ever, so pleased. He made me feel relaxed and we had great conversations. The lessons were great value and it was money well spent. In would recommend everyone to the school and Alan particularly. From Sid Sharma, Hull

I was recommended Elite as they passed both my brothers. I wanted to pass my driving test before I went to University. I was nervous at first but after a few lessons I felt fine. I had a good Instructor who made the lessons fun, and I felt relaxed when driving. It is good value for money as they put a lot of effort in. My mum booked my lessons as a birthday present, I wanted to pass as I had a car waiting for me, I was just excited to get out there and learn. My Instructor was kind, funny and most importantly she was patient, relaxed and help me pass first time. I enjoyed the whole experience and was given quality training. I would recommend Elite and my Instructor, she was reliable, always on time and gave me the confidence I needed for my test. From Max Bullingham, Beverley

Elite were outstanding. My decision to switch to them proved a wise one. Not only do you get the flexibility, support and value for money you would typically get, but you also receive the adaptable teaching and the kind of instructing that makes you feel at ease from day one. Paul was extremely easy to work with and I could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you Elite! From Jason Byre, Hessle

Sounds strange, doesn't it?
But one of the most useful habits you can develop as a learner driver is learning to look further ahead.

Here's why.
When you only concentrate on the car immediately in front, you're following their driving pattern and will react to things at the last second.

Sudden braking, driving too close, rushing towards junctions, even speeding.
It all makes driving unsafe, and harder than it needs to be.

Try this on your next driving lesson.
Look well ahead, not just at the vehicle in front, keep scanning the road for potential hazards.

Watch for brake lights further up the road.
Notice traffic lights and junctions early.
Give yourself time to slow down and make use of effective observations.

You'll still need to check what's happening close to your car but looking further ahead gives you advance information and more time to plan.

And when you've got more time to plan, driving starts feeling a lot less stressful.

Learning to drive is about getting the confidence to drive independently, so when you pass your test you can go where you want, when you want, without relying on lifts, buses or someone else's timetable.

We have space for manual driving lessons in Hull.
If you've been meaning to get started, why keep putting it off?

𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩.

One of the biggest frustrations when learning to drive a manual car isn't just getting the biting point right.

It's what you do after. You lift the clutch to bite then you don't allow the engine to take the load before bringing it up further, the result the car judders and the engine cuts out.

Sound familiar?

H𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

When you're practicing moving off:

✅ Press the clutch fully down and select first gear.

✅ Slowly lift the clutch until you feel the car wanting to move. That's your biting point.

✅ Hold your foot steady.

✅ Apply a little gas, then gently release the clutch slightly higher, about a half an inch, then as the car moves hold the clutch for a few seconds before bringing it the rest of the way up. The less gas you apply the longer you will need to hold the clutch

Practice this until you feel you can use the gas and clutch together. Don't rush it. Smooth clutch control comes from practice, not speed.

And remember, even experienced drivers stall occasionally!

**Now, if you're in Hull and want to learn to drive a manual car, we can help.**

We've got space for learners looking to start their manual driving lessons.

“Need anything from the shop, Mum? I’m heading out.” ❤️

For years, you’ve been the one asking for lifts.

Now picture being able to return the favour.

Taking Mum for lunch. Visiting your grandparents. Picking up your best mate when they need a hand.

And that little smile when someone asks, “How are you getting there?” and you answer…

“I’m driving.”

Every lesson is helping you build the skills and confidence to make those moments possible.

Your shift finishes. It’s raining sideways. And your car is waiting outside. 🙌

Imagine getting in, putting the heating on and heading home.

No standing at the bus stop with wet socks. No “Sorry, can you pick me up again?”

You’re home sooner. Kettle on. Feet up. More of the evening belongs to you.

That’s the everyday value of learning to drive: making the journeys you HAVE to do easier, so there’s more time for the things you WANT to do.

Sometimes freedom looks like a big adventure.

Sometimes it looks like getting home warm and dry. 😊

“Anyone fancy the beach? I’ll drive.” 😎

Picture the first time YOU say that.

Your mates grab their things. You pick the playlist before setting off. And suddenly, a sunny afternoon becomes fish and chips by the sea.

No asking for a lift. No planning the whole day around the last bus home.

Learning to drive gives you the freedom to turn “we should do that sometime” into “shall we go Saturday?”

Where would your first day out take you? 🚗

“I felt more confident after every lesson.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That line from Victoria in Hull probably sums up exactly what a good driving instructor should be trying to achieve.

Victoria has recently passed her driving test after learning with our instructor James Fosten, and she took the time to leave him this fantastic recommendation.

She describes James as patient, kind and empathetic, but what we particularly liked was her comment about how he tailored each lesson around what she needed — working on the areas that needed improvement while also recognising the things she was doing well.

That’s important to us.

Learning to drive shouldn’t feel like every pupil is being put through exactly the same programme. People learn differently, struggle with different things and gain confidence at different speeds.

James said:
“Victoria was an absolute pleasure to teach. She worked hard, listened and kept pushing herself even when the nerves kicked in. Seeing her confidence grow was brilliant, and I’m really pleased all that work has ended with a pass. Congratulations Victoria — you thoroughly deserve it!”

And Victoria even gave James extra marks for keeping his tuition car immaculate! 😄

Thank you for such a lovely review, Victoria, and congratulations again on passing your test.

A great start to the day for Omar...

We’re really pleased to share another pass from Hull Test Centre, this time for Omar, who has been taking his automatic driving lessons with driving instructor Keith Turner.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a learner come back from their test with a big smile and the words we’re all waiting to hear — “I passed!”

All the work Omar has put into his lessons has paid off, and now he can start enjoying driving without Keith sitting next to him!

Keith said:
“Really pleased for Omar. He’s worked hard at his driving and it’s been great seeing his confidence improve along the way. He did what he needed to do today and got the result. Well done & enjoy your driving”

Congratulations, Omar, from everyone at Elite.

A big congratulations to Marvin, who has passed his manual driving test at Hull Test Centre after learning with Krzysztof Szeliga.

There’s a lot that goes into getting someone ready to drive on their own, and it’s always a proud moment for us when one of our learners gets to the end of their test and hears they’ve passed.

For Marvin, the lessons are finished and the L plates can finally come off!

Krzysztof said:
“I’m really pleased for Marvin. He’s put the work in, kept improving and got himself to the standard he needed to be. It’s always nice to see a pupil get the result at the end of it all. Well done Marvin — enjoy your licence and all the freedom that comes with it!”

Congratulations to Alan, who has passed his manual driving test at Hull Test Centre after learning with Krzysztof Szeliga.

It’s always a great feeling when one of our learners comes back from their test with the result they’ve been working towards. All those lessons, little corrections and hours of practice suddenly become worthwhile when the examiner says those magic words — “You’ve passed.”

Krzysztof said:
“Really happy for Alan. He’s worked hard for this and it’s been good seeing everything gradually come together with his driving. He was ready for the test and got the result he deserved. Well done Alan, enjoy having your licence and stay safe out there!”

Another set of L plates coming off at Elite. 🙌
