Akshet celebrating with his UK practical driving test pass certificate after manual lessons with Maurizio Gobbato at DrivePro Midlands

“I had a fantastic experience learning with Maurizio. He is patient, professional, and always explains things in a calm and easy-to-understand way. His encouragement and constructive feedback helped me build confidence behind the wheel with every lesson. He genuinely cares about his students' progress and makes learning to drive a positive, stress-free experience. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive.”

Becky celebrating with her UK practical driving test pass certificate after manual lessons with Maurizio Gobbato at DrivePro Midlands

“I started with Maurizio after a 6 year break from driving lessons, and was so anxious about getting behind the steering wheel - something that Maurizio could see. He immediately put me at ease, and was a constantly calm, patient and very supportive driving instructor.”

Lewis celebrating with his UK practical driving test pass certificate after manual lessons with Maurizio Gobbato at DrivePro Midlands

“I would recommend Maurizio. I've had a few instructors in my time due to some really unlucky circumstances, but he's fantastic. I suffer from anxiety and would really work myself up before a lesson. He really put me at ease from the start and he's very patient. I'd highly recommend him. I used to find driving very stressful, but Maurizio ensured that I not only passed my test, but that I am confident and safe on the road, with a genuine love of driving. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Maurizio!”
