I never thought I’d ever pass my test! I was about ready to give up when Ruedi worked his magic. Really amazing instructor, super calm person which made me, a super nervous driver calm as well. Could never of done it without him I 100% recommend him! He’s worth it 🙂

Chiara pietersen from Bournemouth , 27th October 2023

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I just finished an intensive automatic course and successfully passed my test first time! I couldn’t be more grateful to my instructor Ruedi who was extremely helpful and patient! I would highly recommend him!

Mira from Poole, 14th December 2022

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Ruedi is such a fab instructor, making lessons enjoyable and had a great sense of humour. I passed first time and I would recommend Ruedi to anyone!

Daisy K from Verwood , 12th July 2021

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I just wanted to send you a thank you for your time and efforts.

I really enjoyed learning more about driving with you. I’ve been driving for more than 12 years and I didn’t know I would be learning more about it. It was casual and friendly. You made it easy. You identified what the issues were and the things I had to work on. It was an easy drive for the test after all those sessions.

He also scheduled around my crazy shifts so I’m grateful for that as well.

Passed 1st Time – 3 Faults.

Dr. Nasim from Poole , 13th May 2021

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I learnt with Ruedi in his electric car. We did have to stop because of COVID however, I continued to practice what he had taught me with my Mum and passed first time getting a cancellation test when they reopened in early December. My last lesson was the motorway & I would encourage everyone to go on that. Ruedi was easy to be with, calm & only ever explained why I’d done something wrong, no dramatics. I would highly recommend him.

Lucy Coulson from Sturminster Marshall, 11th May 2021

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Thank you for helping Dan pass on his 1st attempt. He’s had great lessons and gained so much skill and confidence

Dan thompson from Colehill, 16th September 2020

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Thank you so much to Reudi at Yes! Driving. My confidence wasn’t great at the beginning but he helped it grow majorly on the roads within the first few lessons. Loads of credit to him for getting me to pass first time with 2 minors.

Katie from Christchurch, 29th June 2020

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I’m grateful to Ruedi for helping me get my driver’s license on my first try. He was able to cover everything given the limited time before my practical test. Definitely worth it!

Joyce Tan from Three Legged Cross, 13th March 2020

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Ruedi helped me overcome some bad habits one tends to pick up driving in multiple countries.

I benefited a lot from his training to understand the basic principles for a good driving experience in the UK.

I was able to pass the practical test in first attempt thanks to his guidance.

Would recommend him as the go-to driving instructor.

Harshal Kanade from Bournemouth, 5th February 2020

Thank you for everything!

Bella Brown, 9th January 2020

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

After having two previous instructors Ruedi is by far the best!

He was always calm and a really great teacher, I passed my test first time with only 2 minors because of this!

I would definitely recommend to anyone learning to drive! 10/10

Rhiannon Evans-David from Wimborne , 2nd December 2019

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I have had issues with my driving after failing on my first attempt. I contacted Yes! Driving and Ruedi messaged me on the same day. I cannot thank this man enough with all of his help and advice. He has a very unique way of teaching learner drivers. He has always made me feel comfortable and at ease. He always teaches me “real life driving” rather than driving just to please the examiner. Thank you, Ruedi ans Yes! Driving! More power to you guys!

Joemar from Bournemouth, 19th August 2019

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I have had an amazing experience learning to drive with the help of my instructor Ruedi. He helped me gain so much confidence when driving ; resulting in me passing my test first time. I would 100% recommend Ruedi to any learner.

Antonia Beaumont from Charlton Marshall , 31st July 2019

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Passed my test first time with 2 minors! Reudi is an amazing, calm instructor and was amazing at getting my confidence back after a bad experience with another instructor! I had over a year break from learning and never thought I’d pass, let along first time!
Thank you Reudi! You are the BEST 🤗🤗🙏🏼

Kitty from Wimborne, 17th June 2019

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I had two 2hr refresher lessons with Ruedi, he was excellent, very patient, gave me back my confidence. Thank you so much.

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Thank you to Ruedi for helping me pass my test today and giving me the confidence to go for it. Its gonna make such a difference to my life to be able to drive.

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I was recommended Ruedi as a great driving instructor and they were definitely right! After passing first time today I can’t thank him enough for how he’s helped to build my confidence and made the lessons enjoyable too. Thank you!

Louisa from Merley, 4th January 2019

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I Came to the U.K. with over 35 years of “bad driving habits” took a course of lessons with Ruedi to bring me up to standard and passed 1st time excellent instruction…thanks!

Ken from Bermuda, 23rd October 2018

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I would like to thank Rudei for his help in getting me up to the standard to pass my driving test first time in just 3 months of regular lessons.

I found his low stress teaching style combined with his wealth of experience puts you at ease and ensures you leave every lesson more knowledgeable and more confident on the road.

The flexible lesson times are especially useful for anyone looking to learn whilst working or studying.

I would highly recommend Yes Driving school and will be coming back again if I decide to undertake a pass plus course.

Alex Acres from Wimborne Minster, 31st August 2018

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I was very anxious when it came to driving as I knew nothing about it, but Ruedi helped me massively. I have become a much more confident driver and he has helped me achieve a milestone I thought I wouldn’t reach for many years. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have passed my test today 🙂 Thanks for everything Reudi!

Charlie Hampson from Blandford Forum, 13th December 2017

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get lessons in time before I went back to uni, but Ruedi was great in contacting me for lessons as soon as he could. Ruedi helped me massively with my anxiety of roundabouts and gave me little tips on how to calm my nerves while driving. He’s always cracking jokes and doesn’t make you feel under pressure when you make mistakes. Thank you for helping me pass my test!

Rachel from Blandford Forum, 21st September 2017

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I reached out to Yes! just 2 weeks before my test, after being pretty much abandoned by my previous driving instructor. I was not expecting at such short notice for anyone to be available to give me lessons beforehand and take me to my test… but sure enough I got a response from the wonderful Ruedi! He was more than accommodating and we immediately arranged some lessons before my test as well as a plan for the day of the test.
Ruedi was extremely relaxed, friendly and funny! I felt like I had learnt more in the short while that I was with Ruedi than in 20 hours with my previous driving school. I was very nervous the day of my test but I passed first time and I could not have done it without the help of Yes driving school. Thank you!

Amber from Christchurch, 14th September 2017

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I passed my test first time today all thanks to Ruedi who made the lessons very enjoyable and was an overall great instructor, thank you! 🙂

Sophie Nightingale from Poole , 16th May 2017

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I am a senior who lives and drives in Canada. I wanted someone to take me out on English roads and give me pointers about safe driving on what to me is the 'wrong' side of the road. Ruedi was an excellent instructor. He easily assessed where I was at with my driving and focused on what I needed to learn about the road system. Roundabouts are not quite the mystery they were and I feel more confident. I unhesitatingly recommend Ruedi as an instructor. He was very thorough.

Janet Webster from Tarrant Gunville, 2nd February 2017

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Ruedi is a very professional instructor with extreme patience and a great sense of humour. He was able to pinpoint my driving problems and provide practical solutions. He cured me of lorry-phobia and roundabout-phobia. He also helped me unlearn many bad driving habits (such as stepping on the brake without checking mirrors and over-steering without moving hands) and made me a safer driver. Thank you again, Ruedi! Thumbs up for you!!!

Yanbin from Blandford, 28th January 2017

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Ruedi is a phenomenal instructor. I have nothing but good to say about him. I have enjoyed every lesson with him and will miss his company now that I can drive on my own. He is a very articulate instructor with all you need to know. 100% recommended. Kind regards, Callum

Callum from Wimborne, 23rd January 2017

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Want to give a huge thank you to Ruedi. I passed today with 3 DFS. A fantastic instructor, made the whole experience very enjoyable. Responded very well to my needs as a pupil and delivered all the content in a concise and enjoyable manner. Would more than recommend! Danke.

Reudi is absolutely fantastic! I passed back in February and he helped me so much! I get so nervous, anxious and going through tough times, yet he helped me to pass. I passed first time. I now drive my own car with confidence all thanks to him. I fully recommend Ruedi. Thank you Reudi!

Anna Plaistow from Ashley Heath/St Leonards, 20th July 2016

Charley from Colehill, 12th July 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Thank you so much to Ruedi! Excellent instructor, very patient!I highly recommend Ruedi.

Delia from wimborne, 16th March 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I couldn't be happier with having learned to drive with Ruedi. He is a very calm and patient instructor and is very attentive to providing both excellent practical instructions and a positive environment in which to learn. He helped me understand how to be a safe and efficient motorist, something that I have found is lacking in most other driving schools. I passed first time with only one driver fault, after taking an intensive one-week course of 20 hours. The best result I could of dreamed of. I would 100% recommend Ruedi and Yes! Driving School to others. Thank you!

Melanie from Dorchester, 15th March 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I passed the new style Sat Nav driving test first time on 1st March with 2 driving faults all down to Ruedi's excellent teaching. He is a first class instructor who is very patient, reliable and ensures that you are well equipped for the test. The mock driving test that he arranged with Al was invaluable as it allowed he to pick up on my weaknesses. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ruedi and Yes Driving School to others.

Jennifer from Wimborne, 11th March 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Passed my test for the first time today, thanks to Ruedi! He made me feel calm and confident in my ability. Highly recommend learning with YES Driving School.

Bethan from Wimborne, 26th January 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Just passed my test 1st time with 2 minors all thanks to Ruedi. He was so patient with me and always positive. He has been an amazing instructor and I definitely could not have passed without him. I also found it really useful having a lesson with a different instructor Lee, who is also brilliant, a few days before my test as it gave me a better feel of what the test would be like. I highly recommend Ruedi

Imogen Brown from Wimbourne, 11th January 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I can't thank Ruedi enough for his brilliant instruction which led to me passing both my theory and practical tests first time. He has a great deal of patience and despite my incredible nerves made me feel much more at ease behind the wheel than I ever imagined.I also found the use of cameras to review between lessons and a mock test with a different instructor highly beneficial. Thank you. 🙂

Cheryl Pope from Ringwood, 8th January 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

As I have just passed my first driving practical test with a single minor fault, I can say without a doubt that Rüdi is an excellent driving instructor.Beyond always being positive and patient, Rüdi is exceptionally experienced, made evident by lessons I have had with him. In particular, I found the mock driving test he organised with another YES! instructor to be of great help, making me aware of what I needed to improve on. This was booked in advance to give me enough time to act on my weaknesses, and it worked!I highly recommend Rüdi to anyone considering learning to drive.

Will JV Smith from Wimborne Minster, 4th January 2016

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I just passed my test first time, all thanks to Rüdi! He's been the best instructor I could have asked for, I immediately felt at ease and it's been like learning with a friend. He always goes out of his way to help you drive at your best and makes driving fun! Thank you Rüdi!

Rachel Bird from Wimborne, 5th November 2015

Kaylee Mountain from Wimborne, 9th July 2015

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Thanks to Rüdi, i have joined the ranks of those annoying people who pass their test first time! Rüdi is very patient,has a very positive can-do attitude and gives due regard to equal opportunities. Plus he is always reminding me to smile!Although I am happy that i have passed my test and gaining the freedom i ve so long desired, i will miss my lessons with Rüdi dearly.Many thanks Rüdi for being a perfect gentleman, an outstanding teacher but above all an awesome motivator. If you're contemplating taking driving lessons -trust me , Rüdi is your man – he is simply the best!

Lateefaht Sulaiman from Dorchester, 18th May 2015

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I never thought I would pass my test first time, but thanks to Ruedi I passed first time with only one minor in December. Ruedi was dedicated and tolerant in every lesson we had, and always kept calm in stressful situations. If you want an instructor who will commit to making you the best driver you can be then choose Ruedi! Thanks again Ruedi and Yes! Driving School, I couldn't recommend you both enough!

I passed my test first time today 5/11/10 after doing my lessons with YES! Driving School. I have been very nervous throughout this period and my instructor Ruedi has not just helped me to become a more confident driver but also a more confident person in general. Ruedi is a friendly, patient and professional instructor who is sensitive and understanding towards his pupils. If you want to pass first time go with YES!

Andy Purton from Charminster, 1st January 2015

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

A big big thank you to Ruedi for helping me pass my test first time.

Tim from wimborne, 1st January 2015

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

Having left it 20 years since my last lesson I thought I'd try a refresher! Ruedi is an excellent instructor with patience, knowledge and an unsurpassable knack for keeping nerves to a minimum. I started my lessons with Yes in mid January and took my test at the end of February. Passed first time thanks to Ruedi and Yes! I can't thank Yes Driving enough. Ten out of Ten.Awesome!! :o)

As I turned 17 I was very eager to learn to drive. After hearing good references about Yes!, I decided for them. Their prices were very reasonable and unlike some others, Yes! aims to get you through the test as quick & safe as possible, without having to pay for additional lessons.Three months later I passed my test 1st time. My instructor always had a very calm & cheerful manner helping me to relax and encouraged my confidence. I am very pleased and would rate Yes! Driving School 10 out of 10!

As an older learner driver – I was really pleased to find such a good driving instructor. Ruedi prepared me well for my test. Ruedi really helped me to focus on what I needed to improve on, and helped me to see how to improve my skills through demonstration and practice. He was very friendly, flexible and the lessons were very personalised, enabling me to make good progress. I was really pleased to pass first time with only three minor errors. What a success! Thank you, Ruedi!

Howard Smith from Shaftesbury, 1st January 2015

I have previously failed my driving test and was very nervous about finally trying again after 3 years. I contacted Ruedi initially looking for a female instructor, however, after speaking with him I decided to give him a go and I am very glad that I did! I gained a lot of confidence and passed my test with 3 minor faults – something I never thought I would achieve. Thank you Ruedi!

Tammy from Poole, 1st January 2015

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I tried driving lessons before with another school and found the experience nerve-wracking and frustrating,focussing too much on irritating, unimportant details.On return from university, I signed up for a semi-intensive course with Ruedi and passed a month and a half later, on my first attempt!Ruedi radiates calm, gives sincere praise and makes you the force behind your own learning. I can't recommend him highly enough!

I would strongly recommend YES driving school to anyone wanting to learn to drive not just for the test, but to instil good practice for life. The tuition was incredibly thorough and rigorous, and I was delighted to pass with only one fault. More delighted to actually feel confident on the roads when driving small children about. Thank you to Yes Driving school and Reudi for his first class tuition!

Ruth from Dorset, 1st January 2015

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I was very clumsy and nervous and really untalented, I didn't even speak the language properly and Ruedi was the proper guy to change this and made me very confident and a pretty good driver.And I can just repeat what others already said: Yes! aims to get you through the test as quick & safe as possible, without having to pay for additional lessons. YES!Highly recommended!

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I am dyslexic & have problems with sequencing & thought processing. I'd had some lessons in a manual car with another instructor who wasn't very patient or understanding. I absolutely made the right choice by going with Yes! From the get go, Ruedi put me at ease & helped with my confidence. He has the patience of a saint! I passed my test within 3 months and completed the pass plus / BTEC too. If I can do it, anyone can! No more waiting in the rain a bus stops! Don't waste any more time, book today.

I would like to say a very big THANK YOU to Ruedi, I passed my driving test with just 2 DFs 🙂 I thought I was never going to have a licence- 9 years since I last had lessons I lacked confidence & was very nervous about driving. But with Ruedi's help, in just a few weeks I am now driving!He has an excellent attitude & explains everything in a very clear manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him (& hope to do my pass plus with him soon), far better than other local driving instructors I had used in the past!

thanks for helping me get through my test first time! Ruedi was a really good instructor, very punctual, friendly and a great teacher. I would recommend YES! to anyone learning to drive.

Michael Hart from Wimborne, 5th February 2014

Instructor: Ruedi Preiss

I passed my driving test 2 years ago & have just done a Motorway lesson with Ruedi. I have always thought driving on a motorway with such a speed would be the most scary thing but it wasn't that bad after all! I quite enjoyed going all the way to Winchester & Basingstoke and Ruedi reminded me a few rules & skills I have forgotten during those 2 years. Thanks, Ruedi, I will see you around!

Yoko Hansen from Bearwood, 20th January 2014
