Wendy Hutchinson (Colchester/Coggeshall area)is a brilliant instructor. Her lessons are well structured and she teaches in a manner which is most suited to the student. I started off my lessons lacking a lot of confidence in myself as well as having a fear of roundabouts. By the time my test came around I was a much more confident driver and had the ability to approach a major roundabout without panicking. This is all thanks to Wendy. I strongly recommend her.

shut the school down run by a slave driving bully who has no people skills.

Jason Preston

Would not recommend Steve Hayward he was very rude on my first lesson when I challenged why I am going up to a empty junction to turn right and stop fully when it was clear...he got mad and said I should not be driving and made me drive home... He was teaching a friend at work named Ian at the same time who took about 5-6 attempts to pass his test, should of picked up on that fact... I changed Instructor immediately to Tony Telford and passed with zero minors 1st time. Personally don't like people who can't handle criticism.

Moody LD

Would like to acknowledge the wonderful teaching skills of Shaun Youngs in Ipswich. Without his help I would not have passed my driving test today. I highly recommend and thank him, Laxzell Moody

I passed my test with Jonathan Brown and he was great from the first lesson to the last! Very clear with explaining things and helped me understand everything so much better! I never felt uncomfortable to ask a question and he just made learning to drive a very enjoyable experience! I would definitely recommend him to anyone out there!

Finlay Shepherd

Recently passed my driving test with Jono, and I honestly couldn’t recommend anyone more. He wasn’t only excellent and teaching me to drive but also very good at dealing with nerves. He made driving lesson enjoyable and will genuinely miss having lessons with him. He is also one of the most kind and genuine people I have met. Have already recommended him to several friends and will continue too. Therefore, I 100% recommended Jono, to anyone who’s looking to learn to drive. Thank you once again mate.

Thanks to Ian I’ve been able to pass my driving test, 4th attempt. Previously I had a different instructor who made me feel anxious and unsure of myself. However Ian has allowed my confidence to grow and help me to pass. Amazing Instructor 10/10 👍

20:45 28 Nov 20

I 100% recommend Bensons to any news drivers!! I had Ian and he was one of the most down to earth, calm, caring and funniest guys I’ve ever met. He’s such an incredible instructor, allowing me to pass with just 2 minors. I enjoyed every single one of our lessons and miss them dearly!!

Sarah Moore

18:04 28 Oct 20

I would definitely recommend Ian Cude who taught my son. He’s passed first time today with just one minor! He taught my eldest son too, who also passed first time. Amazing for both boys, giving them confidence and self belief! Can’t say thank you enough! 😊

George Pryke

My driving instructor Susan Howe was the best I could have asked for! Susan allways made me feel calm and safe during lessons, whilst also helping me identify key points and improving upon them to get a ZERO minor PASS!! Would recommend to anyone feeling slight nerves and wants to get it done. Thanks Susan!!!

Dannielle Middleton

19:35 25 Sep 20

I passed 1st time on Tuesday with no minors, thanks to Ian Cude, he is brilliant instructor! He is supportive and a great laugh I throughly enjoyed my lessons and always looked forward to them, he always believed in me even if I didn’t think I could do it. I can not recommend him enough. Thank you Ian ☺️

Jane Wilson

17:16 25 Sep 20

My daughter passed her test first time today with Ian Cude. What a thoroughly lovely man, who was supportive and encouraging throughout. Isabella looked forward to her lessons along with Ian’s great sense of humour. He gave her confidence in herself and great self belief. He was organised and helpful throughout. I would recommend Ian wholeheartedly. Thank you Ian and Bensons.

Very disappointed to have seen a lone Benson driving instructor driving whilst using his mobile phone yesterday. This was about 17.00 hours in heavy traffic just outside of Sudbury. Not only that but in one instance took his remaining hand off the wheel to put his sunglasses on. Not the sort of example that he should be setting.

Shipra Mondal

14:35 19 Sep 20

The pricing is affordable, and my instructor Jonathan Brown is very patient and supportive! He knew how anxious driving made me, and thanks to him I gained confidence in my own ability. He challenged me to adapt to different situations, and gave the encouragement I needed. Highly recommend him as an instructor!

Kelly X Megan Smith

21:21 14 Sep 20

Jonathan brown is such an amazing instructor I honestly could not of passed my test without his help, he's a very patient instructor his lessons are enjoyable but also educational and he makes sure your 100% ready for your test before even suggesting it. I highly recommend him if your just starting out.

Harriet Clark

11:22 03 Sep 20

I passed my test yesterday first time with Mark Brown. He is an excellent instructor and was very supportive and helpful especially leading up to my test. I highly recommend him!

Tallulah Wyard

12:00 18 Aug 20

Had a brilliant driving experience with Ian Cude, passed first time with 1 minor! He was so supportive of me throughout my learning experience and expressed complete belief in me that I could succeed. Would 100% recommend!

Logan Simons

10:51 16 Aug 20

Started with one instructor who I didn’t feel helped me as much, but when I moved to Bensons with Wayne Monk there was immediate progress, the way he explained everything and handled my mistakes just built my confidence so much. Could not fault him in any way, would highly recommend.

Sam Bright

12:19 12 Aug 20

I passed my test today with instructor Ian Cude. Hands down the best instructor anyone could ask for. So understanding and an overall absolutely amazing guy. Highly highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive.

Reece Thomas Lewis

09:02 21 Jul 20

Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to my driving instructor (Susan Howe) for teaching me how to drive in a automatic car. She has taught me from the beginning to the end and I have passed first time. Personally, she has helped me so much in terms of my confidence, knowledge and experience.

If you are someone who is looking to learn to drive in a automatic car, I would strongly recommend Susan Howe. She is kind, patient and a lovely person to get on with. I couldn’t ask for a better instructor.

Thank you so much again Susan!

Jessica Easter Ansell

I passed first time with Jon Challis after only 3 months. He helped me massively and helped me pass ASAP! Thank you for your help, very appreciated!

Charlotte Page

16:15 07 Mar 20

Couldn’t recommend Kevin Carroll enough! He is the only reason I passed my test with his patience and help every step of the way! One the nicest driving instructors I’ve met and the best in the Essex/Suffolk area 🙂

Hannah Cooper

15:48 06 Mar 20

I had a wonderful time with Benson but I honestly cannot thank Ian Cude enough for all of his support and patience throughout my driving experience. Despite me being naturally anxious and hesitant, there was never a time with him where I didn’t feel assured of my safety and I always felt comforted by his extensive expertise. He is a truly dedicated instructor, who would always go the extra mile to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and needed from my experience - that is rare and I’m most grateful for that. I am so appreciative for all of his kind and compassionate words and advice that helped me to eventually believe in myself just as much as he believed in me. I genuinely had a brilliant time learning with Ian and without him, I would have never believed I could achieve a first-time pass. I would highly recommend him (and already have) to anyone wanting to learn to drive, especially those looking for a knowledgable, supportive and considerate instructor. Thank you again Ian!

Jack Gillett

14:09 04 Mar 20

Passed today with Jonathon Brown. Great guy in general, who makes you feel very comfortable in the car and is very good at helping you improve on areas which need work. One of the most genuine people I think I've ever met and definitely makes the learning enjoyable too. Will definitely be recommending him to friends/family as he was brilliant. Cheers Jono!
