Thank you Den for your patience and I genuinely believe Ben is a better driver as a result of learning with you.
Cheers for for lovely kind words Ian, unlike a lot of other driving schools we always try to set every pupil up to drive safely for life and not just to pass their test. Ben has been a pleasure to take on lessons and is a credit to you both.

Fantastic experience: Calum has had a great learning experience with Den. We feel that Calum could not have had a better instructor and we appreciate all the help, guidance and expertise that you gave Calum to get him through his test. Den had such a good mannet with Calum. The learning journey continues now he is solo but based on such a good foundation. I would highly recommend Den for driving instruction. Thank you Den. Kind regards Andrew & Laura Gill

Having met you after 12 months with another driving school and not being a confident driver we have both been on quite a journey to get to the great result today of only 2 driver faults and 1st time pass. Going in your own car today was a great decision to keep the drive calm and relaxed.......well done I'm very proud of you.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. Den was a brilliant teacher, built up my confidence and made ways to help me learn. Also gave me so much material so I could look through if I was unsure. Thoroughly enjoyed my time, lovely instructor and I highly recommend. Thank you Den

He provides lots of helpful materials (videos, worksheets, etc) and his expert knowledge. He teaches skills and methods which are practical and useful in real-life and not just to pass your driving test with. I couldn't recommend Den enough and am grateful for all the amazing support he's given me in my driving journey.
Thanks Henry for the lovely review. As with all new skills it takes team work, and today's ZERO FAULT 1st time pass result was all down to your hardcwork and dedication to each lesson. Well done again and stay safe out there.

Fantastic experience: Den has been excellent throughout Alice's driving journey. Not just getting her successfully through her test but giving her the skills to drive safely in the future. Thank you Den you really did a fantastic job!
Cheers Howard, Alice is an absolute credit to you both and a pleasure to be in company with. Sorry for the fail windup when we got home but after a hug we could all breathe of a job well done and in part to both Dad and Mum for the private practice. Teamwork makes the dream work. Please shout out if I can help in the future
Fantastic experience: Den has always been a fab driving instructor. From day one he has aways believed in me, and from my first time fail, he continued to support me. Making 2 hours go quickly, coming up with ways to remember driving techniques and teaching me to overall drive safely, I will be forever grateful for the past 12 months with Den. I could not recommend Den and also Lancashire Learners enough!
Alice, such lovely words. You have been an absolute pleasure to train and hard week always pays off. Although it took 2 attempts remember the 1st was zero faults with one serious and today was another ZERO PASS!!!......both examiners commented that they could have sat with you all day, today's examiner said he had not seen roundabouts driven with such professionalism. I'm super proud of you and well deserved result today. I want pictures of the new car when it arrives
Fantastic experience: Den has been a brilliant instructor for my sons. Dealing with competitive twins is always tricky but to get them passed at the first attempt and 1 minor fault between them, amazing job. Thanks for all the help and support, it’s been great getting them through this part of their life journey. Thank you.
Cheers for the lovely words Anthony, both lads have been a pleasure to have in the car, watching them both from being babies to passing their tests makes you realise you are growing older . The boys are a credit to you and now safely on the road .....lets hope there is no competitive driving
Fantastic experience: Den was a great combination between allowing mistakes and “tough” learning, I was able to learn from my mistakes and identify the problems thanks to Den’s teaching style which allowed me to pass my drivers test
Hard work and perseverance always pays off, which you did with each and every training session and private practice. Hey Preston a ZERO FAULT 1st time pass, doesn't get much better than that. Great result and well deserved matey. Stay safe out there.
Fantastic experience: Den has always been a really brilliant and committed driving instructor who has taught me how to drive to a standard which I could never imagine myself driving to at first.

After failing my first test he ensured me that I could do it and stuck by me and encouraged me to keep going. His analogy’s really help me remember all the key parts to driving and how to drive safely. Couldn’t be happier with my experience and many thanks to all the help!
Awww Megan where do I start…… every lesson was a pleasure and a good laugh. You consistently proved each week how much you were working hard towards the great result today. From day one I always knew what a great safe driver you would become and you didn’t disappoint. Whatever you do in life tackle it like your driving lessons and your success will flourish. Wave like a nutter when you see me out there.
Fantastic experience: As a parent, I have been delighted with your approach to teaching Anna how to drive. Not only did you prepare her so thoroughly for her test in terms of competence to drive but you also reinforced the importance of being a safe driver. Your regular communications were welcome - you kept me fully updated with progress throughout her lessons. Additionally, your attention to detail was noted in terms of both the paperwork and your know-how. Thank you Den - we would certainly recommend you to other parents looking for a driving instructor in the South Ribble/Preston area.
Thank you Martin, to hear such a lovely review is very satisfying in that not only have we all achieved the goal of safe driving but we have also worked together the achieve a great result for Anna. Hope to see you all soon and please don't hesitate to contact me in the future if I can help further.
Fantastic experience: Thanks for preparing me so thoroughly for the test; I knew exactly what to expect and how to handle it. You knew my weak points and helped me work on them each lesson, giving me more confidence and helping me to improve
It's been a fab time on our lessons and as I have said many times you are a brilliant driver and apart from the very rare occasion always felt safe with you. Stay safe out there and see you soon
Fantastic experience: My experience with Den has been nothing but positive. From the start where i was nervous and panicky to now where i am confident in driving, is all because of Den and his way of teaching. Because of this, i passed my driving test first time with no minors. I would recommended Den to anyone that was looking for a good, kind and helpful instructor.
Awwww Holly going to miss our lessons and yes you have grown in confidence so much. It has been an absolute pleasure to help you reach such a great achievement today.......don't forget the new car pics when you buy it. See you out there and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Den is a brilliant driving instructor. After not having driven for 3 years I came across Den and he was incredibly helpful, I feel so much more confident under his instruction. He let me take my time and no question was too stupid. He is generally a great person to be around, made me feel very relaxed and helped me to feel more confident in my abilities. One of the things I liked the most about Den was his use of analogies such as baking a cake or the zipper on jeans. Can't recommend him enough.
Thanks for the lovely review and nice to know I'm generally a great person to be around . Seriously it has been a pleasure to help you gain confidence in your driving again which is going to really help with the new job and visiting family. Take care and stay safe out there.
Fantastic experience: Masterclass in driving. Truly an experience and a lesson well learned, in every sense of the phrase!
An amazing result and we'll and truly deserved after all the hard work. Stay safe out there and enjoy the freedom and no trains now to Lancaster
Fantastic experience: As someone who was nervous about learning to drive at the start, I couldn't have asked for a better instructor than Den. He help me build my confidence up and this resulted in me passing first time with zero faults. Can't recommend Den highly enough, he's definitely the instructor to go to if you're wanting to learn to drive.
Josh you have been an amazing student and I’ve really enjoyed helping you reach a goal in life you may not have thought originally you could achieve. Today that goal was reached in style and with an amazing result. Well done again and see you very soon.
Fantastic experience: Den has been a fantastic driving instructor for our son Josh and has given him the confidence in believing in his driving ability. Josh found talking about what he was doing as he was doing it during his lessons really helpful. We really liked how Den came to meet us as a family in the beginning and really got to know Josh. We cannot recommend Den highly enough and Josh is now looking forward to doing some motorway lessons with him in few weeks. The wonderful comments from the examiner are testament to both Den and Josh.
Thanks Lara, Josh has been an amazing student and loved every lesson watching him grow wirh confidence and ability. For someone who really didn't want to drive in the stages to seeing his amazing well deserved result today is why I do this profession. See you all soon
Fantastic experience: Den has been excellent, both our Sons passed first time in April this year. He set out a plan for them and delivered exactly what he said he would. Thanks very much Den.
Cheers Paul, Both sons have been a pleasure to help reach their goal.....you can now book them both as a taxi
Fantastic experience: Den is a good guy an easy to get along with, he is very professional and clearly is the man with a plan. He helped me massively not just to pass my test but as a driver in general and I ended up passing with zero faults. Would definitely recommend, he’s worth every penny
Thanks for the lovely words Conall. In 14 plus years of me doing the job there are few and far between pupils who pass the test who are as diligent, pleasant and as hard working as you have been in every one of your very few lessons. It has been an absolute pleasure to help you reach your goal, a big shout out to Mum and Dad for their hard work also in helping you with private practice. Stay safe out there and give me a wave if you spot me on the road.
Fantastic experience: Den is a thorough and motivational driving instructor. If you lack in any way in confidence like I was then Den is the instructor for you. Couldn’t have done this without him. Only the best at Lancashire Learners driving training!!!
Cheers for the great review but as I always say it's team work and you have been an amazing pupil and worked hard towards this mornings result. Big thanks to Mum and Dad fir the private practice as well.
Fantastic experience: Den taught our son to drive and he passed his test first time today. Through excellent tuition Harry has learnt lots of tricks to manoeuvre and park a car that we have found useful too! I also liked the regular feedback on his progress from the lessons for where further practice was needed to help improve his skills between lessons. Useful apps for revision and practicing the theory test were also brilliant. Overall, we certainly recommend Lancashire Learners Driver training. Thank you Den for teaching our son to drive - without hesitation we will be back to book a motorway driving lesson for Harry in a couple of months time!
Thanks for the lovely words. Harry has been a pleasure to have in the car and has made every lesson count. He always asked questions to help develop his new skills which is really important. Going to miss our lessons
Fantastic experience: Amazing Tutor, really good teacher and very thorough. Got me from knowing absolutely nothing, to passing first time without any faults with ease. Really appreciate it, I don’t know anyone who could have taught me better. Absolutely buzzing, thank you so much!!! 10/10 definitely recommend!
Harry you deserved every part of your achievement today, you’ve worked so hard and now an amazing safe driver…… please keep it that way, always have in your mind the examiners comments and the same from Dad and me. A special shout to Dad as well for all the help with private practice. Team work pays off. Stay safe mate and see you soon for a motorway drive
Fantastic experience: What can I say? Den is amazing. After a few rough years, having never driven in the UK before, Den gave me the confidence I needed and pushed me out of my routine comfort zone. Lessons are adapted to the pupils: for those of us who have specific needs or conditions, do not be afraid you can book blindly (ok, maybe don't go blindly all the time ). There we go, thank you again Den )
Thanks for the lovely review Helen they mean so much to us and really help new students choose the correct driver trainer. We’ve had a lot of fun and laughs along the way and as you say it was lovely watching your confidence grow each week. Happy car hunting and hopefully see you soon. Take care
Fantastic experience: Great experience learning with Den! Lessons really helped build my confidence in driving and enabled me to pass first time with zero faults! 100% recommend, thanks again!
Zoe you have been a superstar...... loved watching your confidence grow and grow......you are now a confident young lady with the world at you 4 wheeled feet......enjoy and stay safe x
Fantastic experience: Words can’t express how pleased I’ve been with Den. To pass first time whilst stopping and starting due to various lockdowns is all down to Dens hard work and professionalism . He may as well be a psychiatrist as well as a driving instructor lol. I’m 38 and as you get older you get stuck in your ways . I’ve never driven before so Den was up against it but he found a way to teach me which worked for me. He’s a miracle worker and has the patience of a saint . Do not bother going anywhere else . You will do yourself a dis service . Thanks again Den. You are the GOAT.
never been called a goat before ……. Amazing words and we have said before it’s all about team work and on the day it’s you pulling all the punches and pull them you did today with great praise for your efforts from the driving examiner. So proud of you today and now the world is your ostrich stay safe mate and always remember the “Death Check” !!!!!
Fantastic experience: Den is a great instructor ! He helped me to build my confidence when driving and was always patient and understanding in lessons. I passed with only one fault thanks to Den :) I would recommended him and Lancashire learners to anybody.
Awww Molly such a lovely review and each and everyone means so much. You have worked really to achieve your goal this morning super proud of you and stay safe out there
Fantastic experience: Den has always been consistent each week in his lessons…going through each area of driving/skills. Repeating, reinforcing, clear aims, always wanting the best for me as his student. Encouraging when needed, yet clarifying areas of weaknesses to practice.
Thanks Chloe for the lovely review. I’m going to miss our lessons and you have been a fab pupil. Look forward to seeing you for our motorway trip out
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, Den Ashworth! Built my confidence from the ground up and helped me to pass first time with only one minor! Really patient and understanding as well as flexible around plans. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend LLE to anyone looking to pass first time!
Cheers Will, and thanks for being a great pupil.. From day one in the car you worked hard and practiced loads also with family the result being a great pass result and more importantly a safe driver. Stay safe out there and see you on the road .
Fantastic experience: Den is fantastic teacher. Helped my son learn and pass with no faults. Always on time, communications were good and a great guy to get on with. I think the fact he has such a high pass rate with pupils says it all. So happy x
Thanks for the great review, team work always produces great results and a very well deserved 1st time faultless pass
Fantastic experience: Den has recently taught our son to drive. he is very prompt, great at keeping in touch and planning lessons around commitments. He always gave constructive feedback to help us support practice sessions and has keeps safety as his focus. Passed first time with only one minor.
Thanks Sarah for the lovely review. Will has been an absolute pleasure to coach to his goal and all the private practice really helped. See you all soon
Fantastic experience: Just passed today with 0 faults thanks for the hard work over the past few months from Den. Couldn’t be happier thanks a lot
Cheers Will, going to miss our drives, you've been a hard working amazing pupil and well done again so well deserved. See you soon
Fantastic experience: Another happy customer, passing first try. With a big thanks to Den and Lancashire Learners
Thanks for being a great pupil and congratulations on the amazing 1st Time Pass today, stay safe out there.
Fantastic experience: Highly highly recommend. Our son had Den as his driving instructor and he passed first time today, after brilliant coaching and teaching. You could see the improvement in his confidence and driving technique immediately after his first lesson. Our elder son had Paul as his driving instructor a few years earlier, and he also passed first time. These guys know what they are doing, and are very professional and good at what they do.
Thanks so much Jenny it has been an absolute pleasure in both cases. Praise also must go to Mum and Dad as the private practice really helps build confidence. Thanks again for choosing LLE
Fantastic experience: Louise has been an amazing instructor for my daughter. Been a tough year with all the Covid lockdowns and restrictions but Louise was always positive and kept us up to date with changes. The proof is in the pudding as they say, a first time pass with only one driver fault!! Thank you so much, wouldn't hesitate to recommend her service!
Fantastic experience: As someone who isn’t the most confident, I couldn’t have had a better driving instructor than Den. He was kind, patient, understanding and knew what to do to help me feel confident on the road. I really appreciate all of your support and guidance. Thank you Den! :)
Grace you have been an amazing pupil to train up to the success of passing your test 1st time today. Every lesson you grew in the knowledge of becoming a safe driver and worked really hard to reach your goal. Take care on the roads and see you soon
Fantastic experience: There`s a lot to be said for a driving instuctor who is professional whilst also being approachable and fun. Den Ashworth from LLEDT is one such instructor, and quite honestly has helped guide me from an unconsolable, nervous wreck to someone who has come to enjoy driving massively. I could not recommend Den enough and I can guarantee that if you choose to learn with him, every lesson will be highly constructive and beneficial!
Awww cheers Arron, you have been a fab pupil and going to miss our random laughable lessons. Stay safe mate and see you on the road
Fantastic experience: Den has been amazing throughout the past yer helping me learn to drive, he has taught me to drive in the safest way possible giving me confidence when driving which helped me pass my test first time with only one driving fault. couldn't recommend Den enough for anyone who is looking to learn to drive, thank you so much Den, couldn't have done it without you.
Thanks Hannah for the lovely review, it's all about team work and together we reached your goal today with flying colours well done again and see you soon
Fantastic experience: This new sense of freedom is remarkable and its down to the help of a man who is just amazing as a driving instructor.Den ashworth from Lancashire learners excelerate,has made myself overcome certain situations on the road which puts me at ease behind the wheel.He teaches you things in a way that are just so useful.When I first started to learn how to drive he taught me a recipe: Mirror, signal, position, speed and gear and it’s unbelievable I use it all the time when I’m out.Den is great he will teach you in such a way that builds up your confidence on the road with a high standard of safety.Thankyou so much den couldn’t of done it without you.
Rudi you have been an amazing pupil from day 1 and I'm going to miss our lessons. Thanks for the amazing words they mean so much. Thanks again and see you soon
Fantastic experience: Had a great year learning with Den Ashworth at Lancashire Learners Excelerate Training, Den was a fantastic instructor and managed to get my confidence right up from being on the floor thinking I’d never be able to drive. It has been an absolute pleasure and I’ve loved every lesson we have had. There was never a lesson where I didn’t learn something. Made sure I was test ready and on the day was prepared. Remember, mirrors, signal, position, speed, gear. Don’t think I’ll ever forget that recipe!
Cheers Bran for an amazing review and more importantly being an amazing pupil. You knocked it out of the park this morning wirh your result passing 1st time......remember the recipe at roundabouts and if in doubt don't pull out. Enjoy your Seat Ibiza and stay safe. See you soon
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Den Ashworth enough if you are looking for an amazing driving instructor to teach you to drive safely for the rest of your life! He has been so patient and encouraging in every lesson, even when I know I’m being an absolute pain. When I first came to Den, I was a hot mess in the car due to a previous instructor and a test that I was not ready for that completely shattered my confidence - for 5 years I had it set in my mind I would never sit in the drivers side again haha. Den has believed in me all the way through, even at the start when I could barely steer down the road. I am a completely different person now, he has built my confidence to the point where I didn’t even feel like I was on a test, I knew my skills and knew I could drive well! He has taught me not just how to pass, but instilled in me skills where I can drive safely anywhere and for the rest of life, and along with our mini therapy sessions where I was scared to even pull up, I will miss driving with Den :) I also really appreciate the support page with skills and videos I could look back on, they definitely came to mind when I was doing certain manoeuvres and are so helpful when you need to look back on something but you don’t have a car for private practice. Thanks again!
Thanks Sheila for a lovely review and such heart felt words. These independent reviews really do tell the story of a pupils experience and Lancashire Learners Excelerate dedication to helping amazing pupils reach their goal to independence. You have worked so hard up to passing this more which was so well deserved. Stay safe out there and see you soon. Den.
Fantastic experience: Den has taught both my children to drive in the past couple of years. Both have passed first time with no faults. He is very supportive, encouraging, patient and understanding and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive.
Thanks Angie for the lovely words. There is nothing makes a driver trainer more proud than helping someone reach their goal to freedom. Loved teaching both Aaron and Antonia. Both an absolute credit to you.
Fantastic experience: Den is an excellent instructor who I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable driving experience. I passed my test this morning with zero faults, which would not have been possible without the confidence he instilled in me during lessons, and all the advice he has given will remain with me in the future. Thanks again!
Your result was well and truly deserved as you have put everything into each lesson. All the very best with the new car hunt and many years of safe driving. Thanks also for being a great student.
Fantastic experience: I had my test booked before lockdown and it got cancelled and then I moved to Blackburn. I started lessons with Louise to get me back to test standard and also to get to know the local area. Louise is absolutely lovely. A great teacher, calm, patient and great to have a chat to. I passed first time in Preston with 3 minors! Thank you so much for all your help :)
Aww its been a pleasure Vicky and so happy I could help you reach your goal to independence. Happy motoring and stay safe out there. Kind Regards Louise
Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor, helped me get my first time pass Really can’t fault in anyway!
Thanks Heather for the kind words. You really deserve the pass today as you have worked so hard through the trying times of Covid19. Passing 1st time today with only 1 driver fault is amazing.......so proud of you. Foing to miss our lessons and keep in touch if we can help further.
Fantastic experience: From the start my son felt happy and secure. Den was patient and understanding, lessons progressed at the right rate for him to learn to drive safely and develop his confidence. He passed first time. Den maintained communication with me throughout and was happy to offer guidance when I took my son out in my car. Excellent, reliable, professional.
Thanks for those lovely words Kathryn. Alex has been an absolute pleasure to have in the car each week and has worked so hard to become a really great safe driver........ he is a credit to both. Going to miss our lessons and also the laughs we’ve had along the way. Any help I can offer in the future please get in touch. All the very best for Christmas and 2020.
Fantastic experience: I had recently lost confidence driving especially after moving from a rural area to a city and after a period of illness. I realised as a driver of 40 plus years that action was needed. My initial contact with Lancashire Learners was promptly and professionally handled. I had 3 90 minutes lessons with Den and within minutes of meeting him felt reassured that I was in safe hands. I am so pleased I overcame my fears and certainly am much happier behind the wheel now. A big thank you.
My absolutely pleasure to help you get you confidence back to where it should be. Sometimes in life we all need that little assurance that all is well. It was lovely over the three sessions to see you be back to being the great driver you have been over the last 40 years, so well done and thank you for putting your trust in me to getting you there. At anytime in the future you feel the need for a boost in confidence please contact me no matter how small that help may be. Stay safe and enjoy your trips out and about. All the best Den.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time thanks to Den at Lancashire Learners. He taught me very well and I'd recommend Lancashire Learners to anyone in the area who wants to learn to drive - not only to pass the test, but to drive safely afterwards.
Thanks Alex, you did the hard work on the day with a brilliant result. Every lesson you worked hard to become the great new driver you are today. Dedication and attention to detail in life always pays off, so very well done and I will miss our lessons ....... stay safe out there.
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving teacher with a calm and positive attitude and very patient. I passed my test today and it was because of Den’s unique way of teaching which he tailors to your way of learning. I Can’t recommend him enough! Overall a very good and fun experience.
Cheers for the review Abbey. How far have you come as a learner driver, now a confident and safe full licence holder and very much deserved today with a 1st time pass. So proud of you and I've lived everyone of our lessons with a good few laughs along the way. Enjoy your travels and you never know we may end up meeting in Australia . Stsy sage out there.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the best time learning to drive with Den! He is not only always on time but goes out his way for you being happy to work around your schedule. I have had a great experience with him and have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with our laughs as well as the attention to detail which ultimately allowed me to pass first time with 0 faults. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to drive who have never driven a car in their life, like me, and also those who have struggled to pass their test with other instructors. When talking to my friends about their driving lessons there is a definite comparison between the huge amounts of effort Den puts in to help you in and out of lessons with your theory. He is very understanding of how nerve racking it can be, but also knows how to train these nerves into confidence and awareness of the roads. Great teacher!
Wow what an amazing review, I’m absolutely blown away by you kind words Lana. Every once in a while we get a pupil who really shines, not in the sense that one pupil is better than another, but in the sense that I have never met someone who wholeheartedly threw themselves in to every aspect of the learning process with some amazing laughs along the way. You deserve every piece of your new licence with some of the adversity you have experienced during the year, but you never ever let it affect your driving lessons. You are the person who got up brushed yourself and got on with it all. Never forget we only get out of life what we put in, and you put in everything which will serve you well throughout life. It goes without saying I’m always there if you need any help in the future. Stay safe out there
Fantastic experience: Den is a highly professional instructor, who will not enter anyone for their test unless he feels they are a competent, confident driver. Which, at the end of the day we want our children to be.
Thanks for that Vicky and so true. I think most patents would agree they need to know their Daughter or Son will be safe on the road visiting friends or heading to college or work. Learning to drive isn't about passing the practical test it's about being safe on the ever busier UK roads. Lana is now in those ranks of an amazing confident new driver and she has been an absolute pleasure to help reach her goal, even more proud of her that she passed 1st time with ZERO faults
Fantastic experience: Overall amazing experience! I was a pretty slow and nervous learner but Den was very patient with me and a very good teacher. He teaches you how to be safe on the roads for life and not just how to pass the test! At one stage I thought I would never get my license but by applying everything I was taught with Lancashire learners I passed first time. Highly recommend!!
Hannah you have been an amazing pupil and worked hard every step of the way. The end result being a first time pass with ZERO faults and lovely comments from the driving test examiner. Well done you so deserve this result. Stay safe and keep in touch
Fantastic experience: This morning i passed my practical driving test with only 1 minor from a manoeuvre and it was all thanks to Den's amazing teaching skills. I was recommended Lancashire Learners School of Motoring after i failed my test with another instructor. When I first started lessons with Den, I was very nervous, shy and unaware of vital things i should have known as part of driving. However, Den was patient with me, explained things clearly and helped me open up which turned me into a confident and safe driver which i can't thank him enough for. He is the perfect instructor for new drivers and so i highly recommend Den, couldn't be where i am now without him!
Taya..... you have been an absolute star and you are one of the reasons I do this job. You have grown in to an amazing confident driver and a lovely pupil to train and have with Lancashire Learners. As you know you taught me one of the best skills in 12 years that I am taking forward to make other pupils training easier and more fun........ we are all always learning so thank you for that. Going to miss our weekly lessons but please keep me updated with your progress and car purchase. Any further help you know where I am. Stay safe out there.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a driving instructor who is calm, controlled and experienced, I highly recommend Den. He's been a great help overall and he has always cared about my safety while in the car. He not only teaches you to pass but he teaches you how to be safe on the road which can save you from any accidents in the future. I highly recommend him!
Cheers Liam for the lovely review. You have been an amazing pupil with loads of laughs along the way. You have worked really hard each and every lesson with a truly well deserved 1st time pass. Stay safe out there and shout out if you need any advice in the future
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed learning to drive with Den. He is patient, calm, professional and a good laugh too! He will teach you in a way that works well for you and explains everything in detail. He has helped me grow in confidence and to believe in my self that I could do it. I would highly recommend Den. Thank you so very much for all your help!
You have been an amazing pupil and going to miss our lessons. All your worked paid off today with a first time pass, all in time as you head of to University. Well done again and all the very best over the next 3 years of study .
Fantastic experience: Very good instructor, helpful and really teaches you what you need to know. Helped me pass first time! Would 100% recommend to anyone who wants lessons.
Cheers for the great review, you did a cracking job this morning and only 1little fault as the examiner said "a lovely drive". Thanks for being a great pupil and any help or advice in the future just get in touch. Stay safe out there.
Fantastic experience: Den is a great instructor. Very comfortable to be around which is helps take pressure of you’re shoulders while trying to learn. He is very good at explaining things in a way in which is easier to understand. Genuinely a great driving instructor which will try and work times to what suit you. 10/10
It’s been a pleasure helping you reach your goal of becoming a safe confident driver...... with a good few laughs along the way. See you out and about and give me a wave
Fantastic experience: Den is an excellent instructor. He is punctual, respectful, honest, understanding and incredibly patient. I started my lessons along side my brother and he didn't teach us the exact same way. He locates what you're good at and what you struggle with and helps build you up from there. I appreciate how straight forward he is, you always know what he thinks of your driving. But he will always be respectful about it and what he says will always be constructive never to make you feel worse. And if one day you feel you're not doing well for whatever reason, I can personally tell you he will listen. He is more than just an instructor he cares about you. I fully recommend Den. 10/10
Thanks for the lovely review. As you say everyone is different and learns at different rates and different ways, tapping in to the way people learn is key to gaining knowledge and confidence. You have done an amazing job each lesson from start to finish with the culmination of your well deserved first time pass today. Stay safe out there and see you soon for the motorway practice. It's been a pleasure coaching both you and Michael .
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time with Den!! Very patient with a very anxious and nervous driver such as myself, we would joke he wasn’t just my driving instructor...he turned into a therapist! Haha. If anyone is anxious or worried about getting into driving then Den is the guy. Every lesson was always very well thought out, I could never ask a stupid question and lots of materials to refer back to. You only have to look at his previous reviews to know I’m definitely not the only one recommending him. Hope to see you around Den, and in my shiny new car too hopefully! Thank you so much.
Gabby I'm so proud of your 1st time pass result today. It's been a difficult but not impossible journey learning to drive and today you proved that all the hard work has paid off. Going to miss our lessons and all the laughs we've had along the way. Take care see you soon and stay safe out there ☀️
Fantastic experience: As the mother of two young adult learners, I highly recommend Den Ashworth. He has a firm and frank approach to teaching how to drive safely and gives straightforward, encouraging feedback after each lesson. He is reliable, punctual, organised and offers a bespoke timetable. Also, he is always quick to respond to any queries by text or phone. Den, thanks for helping Michael get across the finish line and looking forward to Addan passing first time too!
Thanks for the lovely words going to miss having Michael in the car as they were always great lessons with some good fun and laughs along the way...... but always improving each week. It has been a pleasure coaching him to his goal of passing on the first attempt
Fantastic experience: In a nutshell: If you want to pass your practical test first time, get Den as your driving instructor. Den takes his role as a teacher very seriously, and because of this he can pinpoint exactly what it is a learner needs to become a safe driver. If you need words of encouragement or warning, Den knows how to help you get to a state of mind and proficiency where you feel confident and comfortable driving. From the word go he provides easy to read diagrams and notes to understand what it is you need to do to drive safely. Believe me they are incredibly helpful! When starting the lessons, I had some bad habits which I developed from a few years driving in Latin America (Mainly not paying attention to road signs). As a testament to Den’s teaching skills, I was able to pinpoint and correct these bad habits. So, if you want an instructor who listens to you, takes the job seriously and can help you pass first time: Den’s your man. He also has a great sense of humour, so a lesson is never boring :) 5 Stars, 10/10 would recommend. Thanks Den!
Thanks Michael it has been a pleasure to teach you and you achieved such a great result this morning passing first attempt. Take care and see you soon for some motorway practice
Fantastic experience: As someone with dyslexia and no self belief, I found the lessons boosted my confidence and self esteem. Den was really patient and taught so much. Thanks again!
Wow such an amazing achievement this morning 1st time pass with ZERO faults. Helen you did us both proud proving to yourself that anything is possible with determination and believing in yourself. Going to miss our lessons and chats but time for you to move on and continue to be the amazing person you are. All the best at Uni and all that you do. Den
Fantastic experience: Den has been a wonderful instructor, answered any questions I had and always stayed cool calm and collected. I began with a different instructor and failed my test twice and was losing confidence with my driving until I met Den! My driving improved dramatically within the first few weeks with den and I passed first time with him! Thanks again Den :)
Katie thanks for the lovely words. As I say to pupils it's a two way street and takes both of us to get you through the test. You just needed more confidence and understanding in what you were doing, which you hadn't been given in the lead up to the other two test attempts. You have been an amazing pupil and it's been a pleasure helping you reach your goal to independence on the roads.............. just stay safe out there and give us a wave if you spot me out and about. All the best Den
Fantastic experience: From a parent’s point of view, Den involved me with feedback on my daughter’s progress and suggested areas for private practice. He also offered blocks of lessons for a slight discount which I paid up front allowing me to budget for the cost. Most importantly, he tailored his teaching to match my daughter’s learning style. Not only did she pass first time, but she’s is a really good driver.
Thanks for the lovely words Sandra. Katie has been a pleasure in the car and it has been amazing to watch her confidence grow each lesson. I believe in a few weeks of her driving that she will understand though the journey to get her licence on the first attempt was hard at times it will completely alter her life. I will miss our lessons each week.
Fantastic experience: If ever I was struggling with anything, Den was extremely patient and let me do everything in my own time. Can’t thank him enough for putting up with me and getting me a pass first time!
Katie you have been an amazing pupil and it has been a pleasure to coach you to your goal today. I still think that the only fault on your sheet was a shunt on your bay park was very mean at the end ..... but as we know the whole drive on test was perfect with no faults ...... stay safe out there
Fantastic experience: Great instructor with lots of patience, helped me feel safe and confident behind the wheel, highly recommend.
Thanks for the kind words Jack much appreciated. Also thanks for being a great pupil and congratulations on a brilliant 1st time pass result. Stay safe out there
Fantastic experience: Den has been a great instructor. Helped me build confidence and was thoroughly organised. He is very patient and I would recommend him to anyone wanting an excellent instructor. I passed first time with zero driving faults. Thank you Den
Thanks Olivia for the lovely review. You have been an amazing pupil and a pleasure to take out each week on lessons. All your hard work has paid off with this mornings perfect result ..... the sun was definitely shining for a reason today. Stay safe out there
Fantastic experience: In every aspect a five star set up. Due to Den's expert and tailored tuition my daughter paased first time! He takes great effort in ensuring his style is tailored to each individual pupil, always offering advice and ensuring the pupil is enetered for the test at the appropriate time for them. Would not only recommend Den and Lancashire Learners, after my daughter's experience, you would be making a mistake going anywhere else.
Thanks Mr P, coaching your daughter to test has been a pleasure and she certainly took everything on board and worked hard each and every lesson to achieve a great 1st time pass. Lovely review and very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Den has been an absolutely fantastic instructor this past year. His knowledge and patience really helped me through, and for someone who has struggled to get the hang of it at first, the caring and relaxed atmosphere he creates was invaluable, so that now I have passed my test and have the confidence to get out on the road myself. I'm going to miss our weekly lessons jamming out to Sam Smith, and I would 10/10 recommend Den as an instructor!
Cheers for the lovely review Francis, Sam Smith will never be the same again...... because we both can't sing, hum yes, but not sing. It's been a pleasure and Thursday's will seem quite strange without you in the diary, but that is how it should be. You have worked so hard to get to your goal and did an amazing job on test with only 1 fault and with the DVSA Area Manager taking you out on the test no less. Stay safe out there and keep in touch. All the best also for your new UNI life in York.
Fantastic experience: 10/10, amazing instructor. Couldn’t recommend den more
Cheers Joe........ we got there 1st time pass and now your all set and ready to be able to drive on the new job you are going to be starting....... beats taking the bus. Been a pleasure to coach you to your goal, all you need to now is remember what you have been taught and all will be safe. All the best matey.
Fantastic experience: To think of the difference between when I first got in the car with Den and passing on the first attempt is like looking back at a different guy. Den instilled the confidence in me and by the time my test came round I believed in myself that I could do it. Always looked forward to my lessons, he puts you at ease and has a knack of getting the best out of you. Also the amount of care and thought that Den puts into his lesson plans is something else, and my friends and family were surprised when I told and showed them the diagrams and notes he gave me along the way. And it all amounted to me becoming a better and safer driver. Really cannot be thankful enough. Cheers Den!!
You hit the nail on the head, you are such a different person from the day we did your first lesson. Over the weeks it has been a pleasure watching you grow more relaxed and comfortable behind the wheel. Today you are a safe confident driver who loves driving. It's been a pleasure coaching you to your goal (No more buses). Stay safe out there and enjoy your new found freedom. Thanks again for being a great pupil and your lovely review.
Fantastic experience: Can't thank Den enough for how much confidence he has given me driving, required a lot of patience and determination, but he never gave up on me! Passed with zero faults! 10********** 5 stars doesn't do justice!
You worked hard and persevered........ a top result and couldn't be prouder of you. Going to miss the laughs, 3-5pm won't be the same. Cheers for being a great pupil and all the best with the job, will think of you when I'm holding on to my drink rocking side to side on the train to Euston. Stay safe out there
Fantastic experience: Great tutor with loads of bants
You see dedication hard work and "Bants" gets a first time pass with just one fault. You did a great job after all the hard work...... and a good few laughs on lessons. Take care and stay safe out there.
