Hello Aine you were an absolute pleasure to teach and I wish you all the best for your future
Negative experience: Unfortunately not a great experience, Called in march and was told no availability and to call back in april! called back in april and he ignored both my calls and then texted me he would give me a call the next day! never called me as he said he would and has ignored my requests for any availability since. Ended up going with another instructor as this one seemed extremely disorganised.
Hello Harry unfortunately I have no recollection of you or your calls. This is a fake review! It’s very sad that people feel the need to do such things. You would have been put on a waiting list like all my other students and not ignored if this were true. If you weren’t local to me I would have explained I couldn’t take you on.
Fantastic experience: Robert is a great driving instructor, very knowledgeable and patient, and he always put me at ease. Occasionally, lessons had to be rearranged at the last minute, but I was always able to get them in soon. I'd be happy to recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test first time with Robert as my instructor . Robert is patient and explains driving techniques / situations well . He makes you feel at ease when driving. I would recommend him as a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Rob is a great instructor, great at explaining driving situations and gives really clear instructions. Very patient and calm, he really helps build your confidence.
Fantastic experience: Robert was recommended to me by both my partner and his brother who he had taught a few years ago. Robert is very calm and patient and as someone who suffers with anxiety he was really reassuring and really helped rationalise my fears about driving. He went out of his way to fit extra lessons in on the run up to my test to make sure I felt confident enough and I managed to pass first time! Thank you Robert!
Thanks for the amazing review Charlotte, it was an absolute pleasure teaching you to drive. I will miss our lessons. All the best and safe driving.

Thanks Joseph you were a pleasure to teach
Fantastic experience: I came to Robert after a two year break from driving lessons, because I had found them so stressful - I would dread driving lessons! But with Robert, I felt a lot more relaxed, and I was actually able to enjoy the lessons! I felt so much more confident to take my test, and that then paid off! I would definitely recommend, especially if driving lessons have been a source of stress/worry in the past.
Thank you Abby for a fantastic review. You were an absolute pleasure to teach and I’m so pleased you passed 1st time. Happy driving

Fantastic experience: I was struggling with my driving, failed two tests and had lost all confidence. So I switched to Robert who's approach was completely opposite (which worked for me) to a previous instructor.

Positive experience: Robert is a fantastic instructor and is very patient. He explained things thoroughly and gave me lots of tips for doing manoeuvres. However I had roughly 23 lessons which took 10 months and I think I could have passed a lot sooner.
Thank you for leaving feed back Henna, I’m so pleased you passed and were happy with my instruction, however due to each other’s holidays through summer and test waiting times it’s sometimes unavoidable to take a little longer than anticipated, but I think it was all worth it and at least you passed 1st time.

Fantastic experience: Passed last week with Rob, first time with only one minor! Was recommended by my partner, who also passed first time with Rob, and I could not recommend him enough. He is very patient, and put me at such an ease I am already out on the roads in my own car feeling more confident than I ever thought I would.
Fantastic experience: Very calm and relaxed instructor, reliable and brilliant with time keeping. He helped me to pass first time and gave all his efforts to ensure I did, always focused and on the ball.
Positive experience: After looking for an instructor in North Leeds with good reviews I gave Rob a call. Rob's style is very relaxed and not text book which he explained at the start. Good points:- A really good fella and nice chatting too Relaxed driving style Offered evening lessons Generally turned up on time Gets you out on the roads early when you are ready Discount on block booking Bad points:- Last minute cancellations Not structured learning Constantly worried about damaging his car on potholes His use of mobile during lessons Too many students and so no room for flexibility Sporadic lessons Very unlucky with his car, maybe the most unlucky person in Leeds Rob got me driving which is great after 18 hours but with a new instructor I have a set plan and target, I am now having to cover basic things which were missed at the start of learning which I think could have been ingrained at the start but I guess it is what style of teaching suits each person. Maybe more instructors just want young drivers whose parents spread word of mouth and mature learners tend not to offer this but it seemed his young students got priority when booking and having to rebook lessons.
Fantastic experience: Robert is an excellent driving instructor and I would happily recommend him to anyone. I was 33 when I had my first lesson, and had never been particularly keen to learn, but I came to really enjoy the lessons as Robert helped me build up my skill and confidence with his patient, relaxed approach.
Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor who I felt really comfortable learning with. We easily managed to make lessons around my working hours which was perfect. I would recommend to anyone!
