Student Testimonials

After learning to drive with Barry, I can highly recommend Barry and Bewise Driving School to anyone else wishing to learn. I had another instructor from another company which made me scared of roads for a year. He never makes you feel pressured, he never shouts, he never does anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. You can honestly count on him. He’s become a friend now and I’d recommend EVERYONE to learn with him.  THANK YOU SO MUCH BARRY!! (PASSED March 2011)

Barry from Merton area was my instructor. Barry is an amazing instructor and carries himself in a very professional and friendly manner. I was really surprised with the pace I learnt. Through talking over my concerns, worries and any other questions I had, about driving or my test, with Barry it helped me to relax and focus on building my confidence. And thanks to him helped me pass

I was fortunate enough to have Barry as my instructor. In particular, Barry is patient and has an easy to understand, practical approach to teaching. Also, the fees for Be Wise are certainly competitive. His lessons were well organised and focused on my weak areas – Never wasting time with unnecessary, minor things and gets straight to the point. Because of him I passed my test first time in Croydon test centre.

Appreciate your time spent with me Barry, Thanks. (PASSED Jan 2011)

I learnt with ‘Be Wise’ driving school and my instructor was Barry Smith. Barry was great! He was always patient with me and encouraging when I had difficulty with different maneuver’s.
I felt Be Wise was value for money – each lesson was only £20 which for me was great since I am only earning a part-time salary. I really enjoyed learning to drive and with a friendly, positive instructor. I looked forward to each lesson. And with simple techniques I picked up the skills easily and quickly. Also, I felt I passed fairly quickly – in less than 9 months. Compared to many of my friends who started at the same time, if not before, and still have not passed! And now I have a car in time for my 18th which is awesome – So thanks Barry, from Nicole! (PASSED Dec 2010)

Hi, I am from Streatham area and did my test in South Norwood. I was a little nervous on my very first lesson but when I met Barry he put me at ease straight away. Each lesson I did I became more and more confident and that was with the reassurance of Barry. He was always very calm and friendly, even when I did get a little frustrated with myself. I would definitely recommend Barry as a driving instructor. Many Thanks, couldn’t have done it without your help. (PASSED Dec 2010)
