NorDrive The Intensive 'experts' in Norwich. People will benefit from over 25 years of teaching and all the knowledge plus experience that has been gained over time. Everyone has questions about driving - I really enjoy being able to explain things clearly and fully. Doing a 5 day course offers continuity - not 'three steps forward and one back' as on weekly lessons. I treat all my students as I would like to be treated - remembering how confusing learning to drive can be and the need for understanding. Learning to drive is obviously a life skill and very full on - so team work is essential. This means getting on together to get the best result. A bit of a cliche but true - teaching people to drive and not just pass their test

Matt Bridges 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: -Went from nothing to passing my theory & practical in 12 days -Passed my practical with the intensive course -It’s clear Ian has the ability naturally and from experience to cater for any and all driver and personality types; it wouldn’t matter if you’re stressed and have never driven or if you’re doing a top-up -You will get given teaching based on what’s needed, but as you progress so will your autonomy in what you want to practice, but Ian will keep you focused on what’s needed for the practical -I hate to say this be he is funny! Ian will Respect times where you need to focus and concentrate, but it is hard to have a bad day of patter with him -My only recommendation would to be to take the opportunity of autonomy regularly, as either you will have earned it and can grow from jt, or given it’s an intensive and therefore time sensitive Ian will instead suggest what he thinks you need to do, either way you will get where you need to be, but faster if you show desire to improve.

Khilna Shukla 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I did a midi intensive course (25 hours) with Ian after doing 30 odd hours with another instructor. Ian is so brilliant at his job because he really catered to my individual needs and targeted my weaknesses and made sure I felt comfortable as well as confident in every area of driving. He is a very lovely person as well and is calm and comforting even in the worst of situations. I feel very test ready thanks to Ian :)

Jam I 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was a great instructor, I did the 35 hour course and passed first time with my only prior experience being with my parents. I felt extremely prepared for the test and the potential routes.

Grace Willey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been doing on and off driving lessons for months now and i just couldn't get my confidence up and was starting to loose real hope in ever driving, I'm also autistic and just couldn't get past my own mental block of thinking i just couldn't drive ...until I did Ian's course (to be exact his 30 hour intensive) it was a game changer, Ian made me feel so relaxed and was so patient with me. When i felt i needed breaks or was overwhelmed he was amazingly patient with me, we took everything at my pace and Ian never failed to make me laugh, he'd explain things in ways no one had ever to me before about driving and by the end of the course I was so confident behind the wheel. Yesterday I took my driving test and I passed and it 100% couldn't have happened without Ian. So if you're like me and very nervous to drive, i'd 100% recommend Ian's courses. Thank you Ian for everything :)

Tamzin Burchell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is an incredible instructor, and he is the only instructor that I would recommend now. His training method is guaranteed to make anyone an experienced and knowledgeable driver. He is able to adapt his approach to cater to every learners’ needs, and keeps a high level of positivity and patience throughout. Aside from this, he is a joy to be around and you will feel comfortable as soon as you meet him. I passed first time and felt very prepared for my test all thanks to Ian.

Mr Nukpana 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ian’s approachability and patience truly set him apart as an exceptional driving instructor. From the moment I stepped into his car, I felt at ease, knowing I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared about my progress. His wealth of knowledge and expertise shone through in every lesson, as he tailored each session to meet my individual needs. Ian’s encouragement and guidance gave me the confidence I needed to overcome my nerves and become a proficient driver. Whether I was navigating tricky manoeuvres or refining my skills, Ian’s personable approach made every step of the learning journey enjoyable and rewarding. Choosing Ian as my driving instructor was one of the best decisions I could have made – I couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks again CM.

Fantastic experience: Ian was a very good teacher, very friendly and made the whole process easy. Highly recommend!

Robin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I got the 20-hour course and every hour was really valuable. Ian is an expert instructor who wastes no time in getting you to think and drive like a driver, rather than a learner, putting you in a really strong position for your test. Passed first time last Wednesday after his tuition. Extremely high quality learning environment from a really competent guy who makes you feel confident from day one - can't recommend highly enough. Great service!

luke _ 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was extremely good, he’s very friendly and knows everything about his job and that shows, our whole family uses him because he is the best, he’s managed to get both me and my sister to pass first time and helped us step by step. He’s goes out of his way to help you and will always do best by you!!

Fantastic experience: As a nervous driver, I found it difficult to build confidence in my driving, but 20 hours with Ian and I felt Road Ready. Ian is an excellent teacher and a lovely person to drive alongside. Highly recommend.

Ryan Adams 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was absolutely superb, I have just finished a 35 hour session with him, and wouldn't want anyone else to take me through this journey. From being nervous the first day, to being completely at ease, relaxed and one with the car on the last. He covered every part of driving in expert fashion. He was comforting with funny stories, constantly positive and meticulous. Passed my test at the end of the week, and that's down to all the help he provided. I really recommend anyone to go with Ian, you won't regret it. Thank you so much.

Emma Denham 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We can’t recommend Ian highly enough. He’s friendly, reassuring, and he got our daughter through the test first time with one minor. We have tried other instructors and he is hands down the best - we’ll be using Ian for all our children. Please don’t waste your time looking anywhere else, just book him.

Alexandra Macpherson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was absolutely fantastic with helping me relax in the car and feel comfortable behind the wheel, no matter the situation. I did the 25 hour course and we covered the entire syllabus in great detail and I was very pleased to pass my test at the end of the week. I can highly recommend Ian as he is calm and patient, as well as a great teacher with plenty of knowledge and experience.

Lara Taberham 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was extremely supportive throughout my driving lessons. As well as providing helpful code names for certain manoeuvers and areas, Ian helped me to gain confidence in the front seat, and always stayed positive. Highly highly recommended, even if you have little to no experience or are wary about learning to drive!

Eve 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took the Midi 25 hour course having done over 20 hours with a previous instructor over a year ago. From the start, I felt calm and comfortable driving with Ian. We managed to cover the syllabus quickly but efficiently. He helped me get to grips with maneuvers I'd been less comfortable with with really easy to grasp steps that stuck for the test. I really recommend Ian as an instructor and found the intensive sessions really worth it as I ended up passing the test with 0 minors - something I couldn't have done without Ian! Thanks very much :)

Alina Bistricka 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: As a complete beginner I took a 40-hr foundation course with Ian, and still cannot believe I passed the test first time! Really enjoyed the lessons and got my licence sorted within 2 weeks. My favourite thing about Ian’s lessons is the way he combines theory and practice - very thorough, yet fun! He’s a very patient and friendly instructor who will answer all of your questions. Cannot thank you enough Ian!

Karen Twort 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was brilliant with my son Alistair who did the intensive course with Ian at the end of last summer. Ian was patient at all times through all of Alistair's stress at learning. Alistair passed his test with flying colours not long after. As Alistair's passenger often since this time, I am happy to confirm that Alistair has been taught to be a competent, confident but considerate and aware driver. Thank you Ian

Fantastic experience: Great experience, teaches in an understandable way yet comprehensive way. Never felt like I was out of my depth.

King Arthur 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Quality teaching from a quality Instructor. Ian is one of the friendliest guys I’ve ever met and is no stranger to a one liner. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Before my course I had very minimal experience behind the wheel yet I passed my test first time. Without Ian as my instructor, I could’ve been in all manner of trouble. His only downside is the football club he supports. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from Ian and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for lessons.

Tordi Blair 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A wonderful and smooth experience from start to finish. Ian made sure I was well prepped and understanding of the syllabus for my test the following week. He was very calm, and easy to talk to, would recommend to anyone looking for an intensive program.

Ariane Wilson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nothing but highest praise for Ian and the Nordrive school. After covid and changing location I wanted to continue my lessons in the Norwich area. The intensive course with Ian was well worth the effort and cost of travelling from Essex. Ian helped me overcome my anxieties with calm and und understanding. He is the best instructor I’ve had and thanks to him I now have my driving licence. His in line tutorials were easy to follow and extremely beneficial too. Brillant!

Sadie Greef 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When searching for a suitable intensive driving course in the Norwich area I came upon Nordrive. After reading such fab reviews I decided to get in touch. From the very start Ian was approachable and did his best to accommodate our needs. My daughter booked a 40 hour intensive course and from day 1 she felt totally comfortable with Ian. He was friendly, helpful and informative and had lots of patience. She ended up booking her test earlier than originally planned and passed first time within the week. 5 stars to Ian from start to finish. I would totally recommend to anybody and hope that he is still teaching in 2 years time so I can book again for my 2nd daughter.

Daniel Turner 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend doing the intensive driving course in Norwich with Ian. As a complete beginner, I did the 40 hour foundation course, Ian made me feel totally relaxed and at ease. He was always very supportive. His teaching style was great and he explained things in a relaxed, friendly and patient way. I found Nordrive Intensive Driving definitely value for money and the best way to learn.

Fantastic experience: After looking forever for an instructor Ian was able to fit me in for an intensive driving course, he was calm and made sure I understood everything that I needed to. I've had a few different instructors before and Ian was by far the best one. I'd 100% recommend him to anyone! He is so helpful and a marvelous instructor:)

Ryan Pink 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Ian at nordrive. I was quite nervous on the first day but Ian made me feel very comfortable straight away and really help my confidence straight away. Was very experienced and knowledgeable and he really gets as much information across throughout the weeks driving. This made me feel confident and ready for my test. Was really enjoyable experience all round.

K. MARIE 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was originally learning automatic as I had a bad experience with manual however Ian made me feel comfortable enough to try manual and within a week of intensive driving with him, my confidence went sky high and I passed my test first time with 2 minors. I couldn’t have done it without him and I’m so thankful! A brilliant teacher! If I could give more then 5 stars I would!

S W 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I wanted to pass my driving test before starting a new job this summer so I searched for an intensive driving course in Norwich and came across Nordrive. Ian was very accommodating in our initial chats before I committed to the course, and he found a suitable week for me. I had done some lessons prior to the pandemic so I had some previous driving experience, but this was my first time behind the wheel in over 2 years. I was a bit nervous, but Ian really helped build my confidence in the driving seat over the week. He was very personable and cheery, yet professional and experienced. We built up to being test-ready over the course of the week, and Ian made sure to prepare me for both passing the driving test and being a safe and efficient driver going forwards. He was very patient and positive over the whole week, and answered all my questions and made clarifications when needed. I passed first time and now feel confident going out on the roads on my own. I would thoroughly recommend Nordrive to anyone looking to do an intensive driving course in Norwich.

Catherine Howard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Ian’s intensive driving course Norwich enough! I did the 35 hour course as I was a complete novice and passed first time! Ian is calm and completely put me at ease. By the 3rd day I started to really feel like a driver and started to believe i had this in the bag. I always felt that ian wanted to make sure I was a safe driver and completely capable rather than trying to get me passed as fast as possible. His teaching style is manageable and you don’t feel completely overwhelmed with everything that needs to be learnt. If you’re looking for an intensive course in Norwich with someone who is calming, professional and a all round nice person, definitely go for Ian’s courses

Rhianna Cottingham 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just completed my 20 hour nor drive intensive course in Norwich with Ian. He was fabulous and gave me the confidence I needed! He’s so down to earth and at ease. Passed my test first time with his encouragement. I couldn’t encourage people more to take lessons with Ian. Thankyou!!!

maria cottingham 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter has just completed the 20 hr Intensive Driving Course in Norwich with Ian. I can honestly say that Ian was absolutely brilliant in every way, very accommodating with working around the test date i had booked separately for the 20 hrs to run up to my daughter's test. Ian was very relaxed in his coaching & put my daughter at ease throughout. She passed 1st time - whoop! Would definitely recommend Ian to anyone who is thinking of doing a intensive driving course. Big thankyou Ian.

karl elliott 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our son recently undertook an intensive driving course with Ian. We all found Ian to be an excellent instructor who made him feel at ease instantly! Ian has a great sense of humour and a relaxed style. He covered everything that our son needed to know to pass his test first time! He even kept him focussed and relaxed when the DVSA cancelled the test in the morning and with Ian’s help we got him a test later that day but at a different test centre! We would throughly recommend Nordrive and we will be using Ian again for our other son when the time comes! Within 6 weeks of our son turning 17 he past his test. Thanks Ian!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of having a 30 hour intensive driving course in Norwich with Ian this past week. Ian offers a tried and tested approach, teaching people not only how to drive, but how to make those real time decisions that are so important in your driving test and thereafter.

Izzy Patmore 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ian teaches in an easy and straightforward way and helped ease my anxiety with driving. I had driven previously but I wasn’t confident at all, I completed the 25 hour course with Ian and passed right after. I felt so comfortable with driving and knew the area so well after the course which massively helped with the test. There isn’t any pressure and it’s taught in a non scary or intense way which makes you feel at ease and more in control. If you’re looking for intensive courses in Norwich I can’t recommend it enough!

Amber Livesley 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have just finished my weeks intensive course with Ian and I have not a single bad word to say . From the moment I first got into Ian’s car I felt comfortable and at ease. Ian explained every topic clearly and in a memorable way. After struggling with weekly driving lessons, I decided to do an inside course and Ian made the process much easier and I have just passed first time! I can’t thank Ian enough for all his hard work and help this last week. I highly recommend Ian!

TJ Sexton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is such a great instructor, he's really good at explaining everything, he breaks it down into manageable parts for learning what's needed and is a very calming when or if you get stressed. He has great way of making you feel comfortable in the car and allows time each for a little warm up before getting into the proper teaching which was always great. He is very proactive in sorting out tests and times and I believe the intensive with him is worth every penny. His sense of humour is a solid 9/10 with some room for improvement ;) Also I passed in the end so can't be too harsh. Nah he's class, would recommend.

Chelsea Taylor 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After putting off driving for so long due to anxiety I was recommended Ian by a friend who had previously done the course. Ian was so friendly and made me feel very relaxed, I did four hours for four days and passed with one minor. I couldn't be happier with the course, and the company. I would recommend this to anyone, any age. Ian tailored the course with what I personally needed to improve my driving. I'm over the moon!

Sam Rose 3 years ago

Jack Bonner 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having not driven in around 8/9 years I opted for the 30 hour intensive course. Ian was quick to arrange a week for me starting on a Monday, by Friday afternoon I had passed my driving test. It's difficult to know what makes for an ideal driving instructor but Ian ticked every box. He is calm, patient and incredibly friendly, and has expert knowledge on what it takes to pass the exam. The vehicle is also perfect for a learner driver. I found Nordrive through brilliant google reviews and I completely agree with the positive experiences of others. Ian, I can't thank you enough given I could barely remember which pedal was which on Monday morning.

The entire experience was excellent and I highly recommend Ian and his services to anyone.

I had learnt to drive 4 years ago with instructors that id felt either hadn't prepared me enough or were too impatient and critical. From these experiences i was very nervous about driving and worried about finding the right instructor to help me pass my test. Ian was 100% the right choice as he is extremely relaxed, friendly, patient and brilliant at helping you build and regain your confidence. I went into my test feeling like i had the skills to handle whatever i may encounter on test and in the real world of driving. I thoroughly recommend Nordrive to anyone hoping to have an enjoyable experience and pass first time!

Fantastic experience: Ian is a very calm and knowledgeable driving instructor who understands the ins and outs of the driving test. He made me feel more confident whilst driving and we made a lot of progression with my driving in just a few lessons. I cannot thank Ian enough for helping to pass my driving test.

Fantastic experience: One of those instructors that really puts you at ease when driving. Left no stone unturned by the time I got to my test and focused in on the things I was less confident in. As long as you can deal with the occasional bad joke I would highly recommend Ian to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Ian is a terrific instructor. I’ve had a number of lessons over the years with different instructors, and Ian is by far the best - he's patient, friendly, and knowledgable, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Really enjoyed my week with Ian, and passed this time around. Many thanks Ian!

Fantastic experience: Ian is an extremely capable driver and instructor, and one of the best natural teachers that I have encountered. I have just completed my week with him and, amongst a fair few laughs, have come out with both a driving licence and a feeling of comfort on the road. I completed my 1hr assessment with Ian with no real driving experience, and afterwards immediately booked a full course with him. He is a kind and relaxing teacher who puts you at ease from the moment you get in the car, but also knows when to push you to improve. I would highly recommend booking with Ian for anyone considering it, he is the man to get you through your test and set you up for a lifetime of safe, competent driving! Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Ian is by far the best instructor in Norwich, I will be forever grateful for his teaching. His attitude and style completely changed my outlook towards learning to drive. After struggling with several instructors in the past, I was recommended an intensive course with Ian and after doing the course I passed first time. His lessons never felt hard, but were always informative. It was a pleasure to meet him. The best money you could spend if you want to learn to drive.

Thank you, Ian. You're an absolute gent.

Max Spelman 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolute legend of an instructor. Makes you feel so comfortable when you’re driving with him and is a great laugh too. Is by far the best instructor in Norwich in my opinion and would be suitable for any level of experience when starting with him.

Laurence Owen 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is a great instructor, friendly and easygoing. I felt comfortable in the car very quickly and we went through everything at a really good learning pace. I didn't pass first time, but I added some more hours to my original 20 (wasn't enough for me!) and I passed my test this week. Highly recommended!

Emily Hewitt 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend having Ian as a driving instructor. I passed my test first time with no faults. He is very friendly and instantly makes you feel relaxed. Within the 30 hour week he made me feel at ease with driving and helped build my confidence on the roads.
