Customer Reviews

Choosing the right driving school and driving instructor is an important first step in successfully passing your driving test. Rather than us telling you why you should learn to drive with MSM Driving School, here is what some of our happy customers had to say about their experience...


Anirudh K - Lower Earley, Reading.

"I would highly recommend Matt and MSM Driving School. Thanks to him, I finally passed my practical driving test. Previously, I had many driving lessons with another instructor/driving school, and I wasn’t very confident at driving and there were significant gaps in my driving knowledge. However, after taking lessons with Matt over 3 months, I have become much more confident, and motivated to drive.

He is very knowledgeable about everything driving related, and explains everything really well and in detail. He is also very thorough in his teaching, covering several things that my previous instructor did not cover. He makes sure that you know how to drive confidently and independently, rather than just teaching you enough to pass the practical test.

Matt also provides written notes on all the mistakes you make in a lesson, which I found really helpful to look over to make sure I don’t repeat the same mistake multiple times. Additionally, he also has lots of resources to make the difficult parts of driving easier. I also liked his teaching style; he makes sure you have mastered a particular skill/manoeuvre by practising it many times before moving on, rather than just doing it once and not really knowing how to do it properly. He is also very helpful and honest.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who wants to learn how to drive." (Verified Google Review).



Kara K - Reading, Berkshire.

"I couldn’t recommend Matt and MSM Driving School more! Definitely the best in Reading and surrounding areas. Matt is so experienced and knowledgeable as well as patient, calm and explains everything so well in so much detail but so clearly in a way that’s easy to understand. Appreciate Matt’s expertise so much! Thank you!" (Verified Google Review).



Drew D - Reading, Berkshire.

"Best instructor in Reading, amazing at explaining and guiding you through everything. Very nice and full of knowledge. Highly recommend!" (Verified Google Review).



Anastasia J - Reading, Berkshire.

"Highly recommend MSM for any learner. They are professional, friendly, and know how to tailor lessons to their students' needs. My situation was quite specific - I needed a rapid 3-day refresher to get back on the road and adjust to driving on the left-hand side before taking my exam. Matt, my instructor, managed to squeeze a lot of information in those three days, he is always on time, great at explaining complex questions in a simple way, and even goes the extra mile by providing notes after each lesson. Thanks MSM and Matt for letting me pass the exam on the first try!" (Verified Google Review).



Issy H - Wargrave, Berkshire.

"Matt is brilliant, couldn’t recommend him more honestly. In just six months I’ve gone from being a really nervous driver to now being confident. Matt has a really good routine for the different manoeuvers and they are easier to remember and also makes you feel safe. I’ve had previous lessons before Matt in which I felt I would leave with too much to remember and felt stressed that I wouldn’t pass. I’m chuffed that In just six months with Matt's words of wisdom and help that I can now say I’ve passed my driving test and am really really happy! Thank you Matt, you’re a legend!" (Verified Google Review).



Rebecca L - Reading, Berkshire.

"I’ve had a brilliant experience with MSM Driving School. Matt is a legend, he instantly put me at ease which was great as I was fairly nervous and he remained endlessly patient and clear throughout the process. He had a very thorough approach and provided super useful additional resources too. I passed my test on the first attempt which was amazing, so a huge thanks for all the great teaching and support along the way!" (Verified Google Review).



Ellie W - Burghfield, Reading.

"Matt is a really reliable, calm and supportive driving instructor. Helped me feel so much more confident when driving, and went above and beyond to send helpful advice after each lesson. Highly recommend." (Verified Google Review).



Nicky W - Burghfield, Reading.

"I contacted Matt at MSM after my daughter lost her confidence with another driving instructor (not an MSM instructor). Matt could not have been more helpful, even though at the point he did not have any space to teach her. He was so kind and sent me lots of information, tips and advice to pass on to her. As soon as he had a space he contacted us and she started her lessons with him. She went from a very anxious learner who hated lessons to a confident one who enjoyed them, and has now passed her test! A huge thank you to Matt @ MSM Driving School. Highly recommended." (Verified Google Review).



Mark H - Reading, Berkshire.

"MSM Driving School were amazing to learn with. Matt was very patient and really knew his stuff. Passed on his knowledge in a very relaxed informal way so that you didn't feel nervous or panicked at any stage behind the wheel. He did so well that I passed first time with 0 faults. I couldn't have asked for a better driving school for me and thoroughly recommend them." (Verified Google Review).



Sanya C - Reading, Berkshire.

"I needed Pass Plus lessons due to moving to the UK and not being confident on the road. Matt was a super helpful instructor who was patient and really did help me regain confidence to get onto the road. Super friendly and chatty and restored my faith in driving schools after having previous bad experiences. Couldn’t recommend more." (Verified Google Review).



Natalia F - Reading, Berkshire.

"I highly recommend MSM and personally Matt who was my instructor. He was always patient, reassuring, gave a lot of explanations and ready to answer any question. I passed the exam on the first try, thanks a lot to Matt for his support and professional approach!" (Verified Google Review).



Jaspreet S - Lower Earley, Reading.

"Passed my test today at the first attempt with only 4 minors. Big shout out to Matt at MSM Driving School. He is very good and I couldn’t have passed without his guidance. I’d highly recommend MSM because of you Matt.... thorough professional. It’s 5 star for you Matt @ MSM." (Verified Google Review).



Mark F - Reading, Berkshire.

"A fantastic driving school - did a few refresher lessons to after a fair few years of not driving. My instructor did an excellent job in helping me get into driving again with the right level of support I needed. I couldn't fault MSM on anything: great prices, very flexible, and quality instruction." (Verified Google Review).



Lisa H - Woodley, Reading.

"I suffer from anxiety quite badly & never found a driving instructor that made me feel calm & who explained things simply to understand better. My Husband recommended Matt at MSM & it was the best thing I ever did. Matt made me feel at ease, he explained things very well & he helped me gain my confidence with my driving. I also have physical conditions which Matt understood. I have a disabled Daughter & I work in Healthcare. I’ve always wanted to work in the community & now I can. I’ve started a new job & I'm able to take my Daughter out & take her to hospital appointments & school without relying on anybody else! MSM driving school changed my life & I’m ever so grateful." (Verified Google Review).



Chris B - Reading, Berkshire.

"Passed my test today at the first attempt with only 4 minors... Absolutely thrilled. A big thanks to Matt at MSM driving school. Couldn’t of done it without you mate, thanks for all your advice and tuition it really made it all seem possible and today I PASSED. Would highly recommend MSM to anyone who seriously wants to pass their driving test, the patient professional and expert tuition will really give you the best chance to gain your licence. Once again many thanks to Matt, I’m so grateful for your help and now I can get out on the road." (Verified Google Review).



Olivia J - Reading, Berkshire.

"Matt was the best instructor I've ever had. He was very knowledgable, patient, and friendly & made me at ease in every lesson. I've had some instructors who made me anxious by just telling me what I should do, but Matt always explained the reasons behind, which helped me a lot to understand driving. I already got my license 6-7 years ago back in my home country but never felt confident enough to drive so I haven't been driving since then . But I'm now fairly comfortable with driving in this new country and couldn't be more happier that I'm finally starting to enjoy driving, huge thanks to Matt! :)" (Verified Google Review).



Sindhu T - Lower Earley, Reading.

"Matt is very kind and considerate instructor. He is a brilliant instructor who always remained calm which made me feel always at ease . He patiently answered my non stop questions about driving, he is very approachable and fine tuned my driving technique .He keeps notes on every lesson we had, and reviews my progress every time. Not only a fantastic teacher, but a funny and caring personality that made me feel really comfortable and look forward to my lessons . Cannot recommend highly enough Matt and MSM Driving School to all." (Verified Google Review).



Mollie R - Lower Earley, Reading.

"I would 100% recommend MSM driving school. My instructor was Matt and he was so brilliant. I was a very anxious driver and any little thing out of the ordinary would always throw me off but Matt was incredible at understanding and helping me through that. He is also super friendly and funny which helps calm all the nerves. I honestly would of never passed my driving test without Matt (and Sue who took me on a few lessons!). I also did motorway lessons with Matt which were so useful which I would fully recommend to new drivers. Thank you Matt and everyone else at MSM." (Verified Google Review).



Emily M - Basingstoke, Hampshire.

"I recently passed my test. Matt was fantastic from start to finish. He knew how to explain things in a way I would understand. I'm a football coach so he would somehow make things football related when explaining to me, so I would go "oh yes!! I understand", instead of "I have no idea what's going on". The football relation may not help everyone but I can guarantee that he will find a way that suits you! I went through a few driving instructors before Matt. I didn't feel like I was being taught before, just shouted at! I can't deal with loud and shouting and Matt is the complete opposite of that. He is calm and supportive and genuinely wants to see you do well. Lessons were a laugh which does help. Would highly recommend Matt or anyone at MSM Driving School." (Verified Google Review).



Sophie R - Woodley, Reading.

"Amazing driving school! I had Matt as my instructor and he was patient, knowledgable, thorough, and went above and beyond to help me with both my theory and my driving test. Lessons were always fun and enjoyable. He was always available to answer questions and sent loads of resources to help me. Massive thank you to him. Would really recommend this school if you want professional and kind teachers, and enjoyable lessons too."



Chloe H - Wargrave, Reading.

"I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor (Matt) a truly amazing man, very patient, kind and just a legend! He boosted my confidence in driving massively. Lessons were always a joy with him, never a dull moment lol. A very big thank you to him! Couldn’t have it done it without you Matt!! I 100% recommended MSM Driving school, definitely the best driving school out there!" (Verified Google Review).

He's really friendly and also an amazing instructor and equipped me with the necessary skills to enable me to pass my test first time. I would strongly recommend MSM to any learner driver!" (Verified Google Review).



Bolanle A - Earley, Reading.

"I passed my test, thanks to my instructor. His instructions were very clear. He helped me to understand the markings on the roads; everything else became much easier after that. He was very patient when I had a brief melt-down :) I would definitely recommend MSM Driving School." (Verified FreeIndex Review).



A parent of one of MSM Driving School's pupils.

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to our Son's driving instructor Sue. Thank you MSM Driving School for teaching him how to driver rather than how to pass the test. Very proud that he passed first time with zero faults. A fantastic achievement and one Sue should also feel proud of. We feel confident as parents that our Son is more than capable of driving solo."
