Driving school with lessons in English (Madrid)

Hello, I'm hoping to get some top up driving lessons in Madrid (I've never driven in Spain and feel nervous). I'm ideally looking to do them in English to make the process easier. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

Lara or Gala are normally the best. The theory exam is the only part that can be done in English. The practical test will need to be in Spanish. It's not that hard once you learn the words used often. Beware, the English test has some really bad direct translations from the Spanish questions, so it can cause you to fail because you can only get a maximum of 3 out of 30 questions wrong in order to pass.

Thanks for your answer – I actually don't need to sit the test, I'd just like a couple of top up lessons as I'm a nervous driver (already have my licence and it's valid here). I was wondering if there was any school, or individual instructor, whom I could do a couple of lessons speaking in English.
