If I could give Mark Solesbury more than 5 stars, I most definitely would! I passed my test today with only 3 minors! A massive thank you to Mark for being a phenomenal instructor from start to finish. Without him teaching me I probably wouldn't of had a chance to pass my test. He is extremely patient, thorough and definitely invests a lot time in his students. Mark without a doubt turned me into a confident and safe driver which clearly reflected in my test today! I would 100% recommend him - he is everything you would want in a driving instructor!

Massive thanks to Steve as he built up my confidence whilst being patient and calm. I managed to pass my test with only 2 minors, and Steve really helped me with that as i had booked another lesson with him very early yesterday morning just so i could get some last minute practice in. He also has a very good way of teaching the different maneuvers as this helped me a lot in the test. Thanks steve!

I've just passed my test, first time, with help from Seumas Doughty. He has been patient, understanding and more than helpful to every driving related scenario imaginable. I couldn't have done it without him! He makes learning easy and fun while remaining safe on the road, learning without realising it. I would and am recommending him to everyone, I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Just thank you for everything he has done for me over the last few months, he is a complete asset to Around The Bend.

I Had a couple of instructors with another company who were very unprofessional. Until i came across around the bend and asked for a female instructor. My instructor Susan Lemanczyk is just awesome. She was so kind, professional, funny and so patient with me and helped me pass my test wooohooo and thank you so much Susan. I would recommend Susan and this company to anyone. Very professional, friendly, supportive staff team. No1 service. You won't be disappointed. Been passed just over two weeks now. Beep beep 👍☺🚗🚘

When looking for a good driving instructor for my son. I was recommended by a friend to ring Matt from around the bend ( walsall/wednesbury area ). Im so glad i did. Matt has been an excellent instructor for my son whos 17. He's guided him and put him at ease throughout his driving lessons and today all Matts guidence was put to the test. My son passed first time! Thanks again Matt. If anyone needs a good driving school give around the bend a call you wont regret it!

I was recommended Alan Wright as a driving instructor at the beginning of the year. I have over a number of years had a number tests that I have failed with other instructors. Alan is a very calm instructor who I would recommend to anyone. He takes everything in his stride including errors made and makes sure you have the understanding you need to correct those errors. He also made sure that I did not take my test until I was ready which meant postponing it for a couple of months. This paid off as I passed my test on Monday which I could not have done without Alan's help and guidance. A big thank you to Alan for his help in getting me through the test. I could not have done it without him.

I've had a few different instructors over the years but never felt myself getting anywhere or making any progress at all.. Elaine completely put me at ease, boosted my confidence and I made so much progress with her. So much so that I have just passed my test first time with only one minor!! I couldn't have done it without Elaine!! She's such a brilliant instructor and I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for lessons/instructors in my area. Thank you for everything Elaine � xxx
