KEITH METCALFE DRIVING SCHOOL: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Keith is such an amazing driving instructor I couldn’t recommend him enough. I was extremely nervous when I first started with him but he was extremely patient. I hated my lessons with my previous instructor but with Keith I looked forward to every lesson. Keith made my lessons fun and makes me laugh which eased my nerves a lot. I passed first time thanks to Keith. I will miss our lessons.
Awh thanks Ella for these lovely words and you really deserved your FIRST TIME pass....so well done and drive safely xx
Fantastic experience: While learning to drive with Keith, I enjoyed my time. He was very patient with me and made me feel comfortable. He allowed me to take each lesson at my own pace, while still ensuring I was learning everything I needed. He helped build my confidence more and more each lesson. I would definitely recommend Keith.
Thankyou for your lovely review and you really deserved your ZERO FAULT pass today. Very well done and good luck with your career. xx
Fantastic experience: Keith’s one of the best driving instructors you could ask for; he takes time to get to know you and with that, he can adapt his ways on how to teach you! He’s especially patient with people who are neurodiverse like myself, even if it does take longer than the average! ☺️
Awh...thanks Ginge (Becky)and you have put the effort into learning to drive and thoroughly deserved your pass today...congrats! xx
Fantastic experience: Keith has got both of my lads through their driving tests first time. He has always been calm with them and always managed to make them feel at ease. I would highly recommend to Keith to anyone looking for a driving instructor..
Thanks mate...and a couple of nice lads there
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Keith to anyone looking to taking their driving lessons. I arranged my daughter’s lessons with Keith and he was a pleasure to deal with and most helpful at all times. Hannah really enjoyed her lessons with Keith commenting on how friendly and easy he is to talk to and she passed her test after just 3 months of lessons. Again I would highly recommend Keith to anyone looking for a great instructor and wishing to pass their test.
Thankyou so much, Hannah was a pleasure to teach to drive and thoroughly deserved her pass in her own car. Well done!

Fantastic experience: Hi, I'm James and I just passed my driving test! I'd like to say a huge thank you to Keith who was an excellent instructor and got me to this milestone.

You did it all yourself James with a little help from me...well done!

Fantastic experience: Keith has been an absolutely fantastic driving instructor for my daughter Eve. He holds amazing rapport with his students and has made her feel completely at ease in every lesson. He has guided her and built her confidence up on the roads to succeed. I am over the moon with her achievement and it’s all down to his patience too. They have become great buddies and because of the way he communicates and instructs, she has had the confidence to pass today. I would not hesitate to highly recommend him as an instructor to anyone, indeed I will be booking for my son to have lessons with him next year too! Thanks so much Keith, you are an absolute star
Awh shucks!...stoppit. Eve is a lovely funny girl and deserved her pass today showing great determination.

Awh thanks Kenzie...lovely words and you was an absolute pleasure to teach to drive....please drive safely and you know where I am if you want a motorway lesson xx
Fantastic experience: I had a refresher lesson with Keith after not really driving properly for several years. I am quite a nervous driver and wanted to get back into driving to work on a regular basis. Keith was very patient and gave me many different tips that I will definitely use in the future. The lesson helped me build my confidence and I definitely feel better about driving now than I did beforehand. Thank you.
Thankyou Karen...lovely words now drive safely x
Negative experience: Rude& dismissive on the phone. Practise your phone manner even if you’re busy it goes a long way
?
Fantastic experience: Finally passed my driving test thanks to keith and his determination to get me there, was my second driving instructor after my first one let me down but keith definitely helped me pass and helped build my confidence when it came to driving :)) massive thank you
Awh...thanks Lauren but you did all the work and once you beat your test nerves I knew you could pass easily. Drive safely xx
Fantastic experience: Cant recommend Keith enough! He has what it takes for you to pass! I had a disaster with my previous instructor who I wasted 20 hours with. Keith taught me most of important things in just 10 hours! Got my nerves together when I needed it. And most important- he believed in me when i didn't believe in myself! And i passed first time! If you are searching for a great, skilled instructor- dont look any further- Keith is the one u need! Thank you a million, Keith!
Those are lovely words but I just helped you to believe in yourself and you thoroughly deserved your FIRST TIME pass. Well done! x
Fantastic experience: Keith is a fantastic driving instructor and couldn’t recommend him enough! I had previously failed my driving test twice with two different instructors and was incredibly anxious about my next test but Keith managed to help me work through my anxiety and keep me calm. This along with his great teaching lead me to pass my test!! Thank you a million times, Keith!
Thanks Ciara but you did it all by yourself with a little help from me to get you to believe in yourself Well done! x
Fantastic experience: I was so happy with how my son learnt to drive a few years ago under Keith’s instruction that when it came time for my youngest son to learn to drive I had no hesitation getting in touch with Keith again. He passed first time last week and couldn’t be happier. They both said what a really nice fella he is and that they felt comfortable and at ease with him. He always responded quickly to queries I had and kept me informed on anything I needed to know. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone wanting to learn to drive, thank you again Keith, 5 stars well deserved
Thanks for your review and lovely comments. It was my pleasure and both your sons are a credit to you....so well deserved.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Keith enough! Fantastic driving instructor with lots of patience and experience:)
Thanks mate and drive safely...you certainly deserved your pass today with the progress you've recently made...well done!
Fantastic experience: Keith is a fantastic instructor, he's very patient, effecient and helps you gain all the confidence you need on the roads which helped me pass first time. Would much recommend he's amazing at what he does!
Lovely words from a lovely girl...it was my pleasure to help you get there and you thoroughly deserved your pass...well done! x
Fantastic experience: Keith is a fantastic instructor. He's very experienced and patient and puts you at ease. I was a very nervous driver and he'd always reassure me but also have a laugh with me about it. If I was struggling to do something a particular way he'd do his best to find another technique that would suit me better. It feels like the end of an era now I've passed and I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you for everything :-)
Awh...thankyou Beth for those lovely words...you put a great effort into learning to drive which didn't come easily to you...but with great determination you succeeded and thoroughly deserved your pass ...well done! xx
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Keith as a driving instructor. He is very patient and professional and is great at teaching essential skills that make driving less nerve wracking. Thank you Keith for everything you have taught me I really appreciate it
Only too pleased to help you get there and, although you've had to wait for your test due to COVID19, you thoroughly deserved your FIRST TIME pass....well done!! xx
Fantastic experience: Keith is the best driving instructor! He is very helpful, patient and professional. He gives good advice and little tips and tricks to remember manoeuvres with. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone learning to drive!
Awh..thanks Emily...and you were a joy to teach and thoroughly deserved your pass. Good luck and drive safely x
Fantastic experience: Keith is a fantastic teacher who is both patient and understanding. Thanks to his advice and excellent teaching I managed to pass my driving test first time, I would highly recommend his services.
Thanks mate...really appreciate it....but you did all the hard work and your pass today was well deserved
Fantastic experience: I had some refresher and motorway lessons with Keith after not driving for several years and I had been putting off buying a new car due to feeling out of practice. Keith was able to tailor the lessons to my needs and also helped me to build my confidence behind the wheel. I am now happily driving my new car and feel so much more confident after these lessons with Keith.
Awh....thanks Katherine for your lovely words. My pleasure to help you get back into driving. Drive safely xx
Fantastic experience: Keith is a fantastic driving who is very professional ,patient and understand! Overall really enjoyed my learning experience! I would highly recommend Keith to anyone that is looking to pass there driving test!!!
Thankyou so much for your kind words and congratulations again on your pass which you thoroughly deserved. Well done!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my lessons with Keith, gave lots of good practical advice and giving good tips on difficult manoeuvres such as reverse bay parking. Passed my driving test with him after around 25 hours worth of lessons and would thoroughly recommend him.
Thanks Owen for your nice words but you deserved your pass and I was glad to help you acheive it. Well done!
Fantastic experience: From a parent's perspective, Keith is a great communicator and very professional. When my son was ready to take his practical driving test, there was a minimum of a 6 month waiting list. Keith suggested that the best idea would be for my son to stop having weekly lessons with himself and instead to carry on practising driving with my husband and myself. He also suggested that we then get in contact with him a few weeks before the date of the practical test to organise a few test preparation lessons. This is a great example of Keith's honesty and professionalism. My son has passed his practical driving test and we would highly recommend Keith as a driving instructor.
Thankyou so much for your comments and your review as I really appreciate them. Good luck to Owen with his driving and a well deserved pass
Fantastic experience: The best instructor around! Very patient and has a great way of teaching, I felt my confidence growing with every lesson. I could not recommend Mr Keith enough! I passed first time !!
The pleasure was all mine....you're a great learner and easy to teach...your pass test today is well deserved and drive safely xx
Fantastic experience: Passed me test today after feeling like it was never going to happen for me! I suffer really badly with my nerves and anxiety and it’s always effected me on test day. I honestly couldn’t have done it without Keith! So calming and understanding with anxious people and always has a laugh to lighten the situation! Thankyou so much!
Awh!...very kind words indeed and so happy for you....you deserved to pass today for never giving up and keeping your concentration and nerve....well done!...going to miss you x
Fantastic experience: Keith is the best instructor you can ask for. He's calm and patient with a great sense of humor to calm you down and cheer you up. With my low confidence I thought I wouldn't pass the first time, if at all. With his great way of teaching you everything step by step, boosting my confidence with each lesson, I managed to pass first time. Couldn't be happier to recommend Keith more. :D
Awh....thanks Wiktoria you fully deserved your first time pass and it was a pleasure to teach you...keep safe driving! xx
Fantastic experience: Keith is an excellent driving instructor. Very knowledgeable and helpful. His calm and kind manor is a fantastic attribute to help any new driver. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone wishing to learn to drive.
Thanks Rob, kind words indeed and I really enjoyed teaching your daughter Emily to drive...she has a good attitude to learning. I'm sure she will be very successful in the future and is a great credit to you
Negative experience: I asked if I could postpone my son's lesson. Mr Metcalfe said no and he has cancelled the lesson as he has another pupil. I was told that the hours lost could not be carried over and would not be refunded. After a series of increasingly aggressive and unprofessional emails I had to threaten legal action to get a full refund of the block of lessons as I was no longer comfortable with my son being in a car with him.
It's a shame that you agreed to Ts &Cs including the policy on late notice cancellations BUT then disagreed with them when they were applied to you. I offered you a refund at the earliest opportunity as it was clear you wanted your money back and disagreed with the policy which all driving instructors have. I have been waiting for a poor review from you as I am sure you spend most of your time doing them. You've only to see my other reviews to see you are a one off. Hope you find another instructor soon and hope your son passes as he's a nice lad.
Fantastic experience: Keith is a very patient and understanding instructor. Nothing is ever too much for him and he is always truthful when giving feedback to improve your performance. He was always happy during my lessons and always calmed my nerves with his great sense of humour Not only is Keith a fantastic driving instructor, he is also brilliant at giving life advice and I would 100% recommend to everyone! Thank you Keith I’ll see you on my pass plus course!
Awh...thanks for that Leah and you deserved your pass, overcoming your test nerves with true grit and determination....well done! xx
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Keith enough! Driving for the first time made me MEGA nervous in the beginning, however, Keith made me feel so comfortable and taught me through everything with patience and professionalism all way to the end. He has amazing communication skills and thorougly explains everything before you start driving so you feel at ease, which was exactly what i was looking for when i looked for an instructor. He's not only an amazing instructor but a great friend who you can talk to about anything! So if you're looking for an instructor who will make your driving experience and absoulte joy he's your guy! Thank you so much Keith! I will truly miss having you sat beside me that's for sure!
Kas you have been a pleasure to teach to drive, always bright and cheerful with an enormous appetite to learn. You are a lovely girl with a great personality and I wish you all the best success and happiness in the future. Good luck and drive safely xx
Fantastic experience: Is an amazing driving instructor would highly recommend to other people
Awh...thanks Erin and you were a pleasure to teach to drive and deserved your pass. Drive safely xx
Fantastic experience: There is no doubt he will have you test ready, you won't feel under-prepared as he covers all the basics thoroughly and ensures you can apply them comfortably to any situation. Would recommend
Thanks for that Nate. You were a pleasure to train to drive and you certainly deserved your FIRST TIME pass with your commitment to learn. It was just a shame that COVID19 delayed your acheivement but well done!
Fantastic experience: Keith has been a fantastic instructor, who helped me to pass during the pandemic. As a rather nervous and anxious driver, I found Keith's methods and approach very well aligned to my needs. The lessons were well-structured, informative and fun, thanks to Keith's sense of humor. I would highly recommend his services to others. Thanks again! :)
Awh! Sandra....that's lovely of you to say and you were fun and a pleasure to teach. Although learning to drive didn't come easy to you, your determination and commitment was second to none and you fully deserved your pass....so well done and drive safely...xx
Fantastic experience: Can’t express enough how amazing Keith has been, so helpful in advising me with my theory and sending me useful links leading up to the test. I highly recommend Keith to anyone that is very nervous about learning to drive, he makes you feel relaxed straight away. Helped me a lot in passing first time, forever grateful. Going to miss having lessons.
Kind words Savanna, but you deserved your pass today as you had stayed determined and also put the effort in. I'm particularly pleased for you at this time and I can't think of a nicer person, carry on being a lovely girl and good luck for the future....going to miss you loads...Keith xx
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Keith enough!!! Through his great sense of humour, he made my lessons most enjoyable, but also thanks to his patience and professionalism I have passed with only 2 minor faults! He was also really supportive when things were not going great. Honestly, he has got all the qualities that driving instructor should and beyond that! I am really happy to have passed but will miss Keith and our lessons a lot.
Awh!...those are really kind words and all credit to you for staying determined and focussed....very deserving and drive safely....will miss you loads...Keith xx
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test today with Keith, he is an amazing driving instructor, Keith gave me the confidence in my driving and explains everything you need to learn really well and it all clicks into place. He is very organised and plans everything to ensure you pass your test and this helps so much towards getting that pass. Would highly recommend keith to anyone looking to pass the test first time
Those are lovely comments Hazel but you did it all yourself and with my help and guidance you acheived a great pass today having showed great commitment and determination to learn how to drive...something that didn't come easy to you...well done!
Fantastic experience: After many years of failed tests and a shattered confidence in myself, Keith helped me to regain my confidence and taught me a way to drive which ironed out all of my flaws. He made me feel so comfortable and really made me a better driver. I passed the first test I sat after learning with Keith only for a couple of months and although it wasn’t Keith sitting that test I owe it all to him. He was recommended to me by a friend and I will now pass that recommendation on. Thank you so much for everything Keith, you really are a credit to your profession!
Those are sweet words...thankyou but I just helped you get there and you did great...well deserved
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Keith enough!! I'd never had a driving lesson before starting with Keith and was super nervous and anxious. He made me feel at ease and helped simplify everything for me. I have had lessons with him on off for 2 year and we have built a brilliant repore, every lesson was a right laugh and although I am over the moon to have passed Im going to miss Keith and his good craic! Not just my instructor but a friend.Thank you so much for all your wise words and most importantly getting me that Pass iv been so desperate for. This will open so many doors for me and give me so much more independence thanks Keith x
You deserved to pass today as you showed great determination to acheive something, which at times, you found hard to get your head around....so well done you!...and yes...I'm going to miss you loads.
Fantastic experience: Before I started lessons with Keith I had two other driving instructors and believed I would never drive due to my anxiety! Keith was so calming and taught me in a way that I needed to be taught. He was such a friendly, funny and amazing instructor! I am truly over that moon as I have passed FRIST TIME with only two minors! Don’t waste your time or money going with anyone else!!! Thanks Keith you the best!!!
Awh thanks Hayley...those are lovely words and although you was a nervous learner you have made amazing progress becoming confident and deserved to pass today...well done!
Fantastic experience: I passed my test today with Keith. Before I started my lessons with him I had been with another instructor and was a very nervous driver. I was close to giving up and thought driving just wasn’t for me but Keith motivated and really believed in me. He made things I previously couldn’t get my head around (e.g parallel parking) so simple, and he was always patient and calm throughout my lessons. He also has a great sense of humour and I looked forward to my lessons every week! I’m now buying my first car and I owe it all to Keith - best instructor in the area without a doubt!!
Awh thanks Katie...they're lovely words and although you was a very nervous driver...you got there in the end, so very well done and I'm so pleased for you
Fantastic experience: I passed my test with Keith today it's took along time after being a very nervous driver however Keith managed to build up my confidence and get me to where I need to be I would recommend him to anyone who is a first time driver or nervous has very calming persona thanks Keith il see you on the roads fella
Very kind words mate and you deserved to pass after putting in a great effort. Drive safely
Fantastic experience: Keith is a very professional and reliable driving instructor, with a great personality.He has taught my daughter to drive from scratch to pass within 5 months. All Keith’s driving lessons are 1.5-2hours long which gives the student time to settle into the lesson and car so they learn quickly. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone in the Rochdale/Oldham area wanting to learn to drive.
Janet...those are lovely words and Jemma thoroughly deserved her pass. She was a pleasure to teach and she is a credit to both you and Garry. Thankyou
Fantastic experience: Before working with Keith, I had struggled with and put off gaining my driving licence. Keith gave me the confidence to know that I could pass, but also made sure that we drilled the aspects that I needed to improve. Keith's humour helped put me at ease behind the wheel and his years of experience showed in his subject knowledge and teaching methods. I would definitely recommend Keith Metcalfe to everyone and I will be returning to him for my PassPlus. Thank you for helping me pass, Keith!
Josh it was a pleasure helping you acheive your goal, to pass your test first time. You put the effort in and deserved it...well done! Look forward to seeing you on Passplus
Fantastic experience: Would recommend Keith to anyone wanting to learn to drive. He is very thorough in his methods and really puts things into perspective. Before finding Keith through a friend of mine I failed multiple times. I put it down to my first instructor not understanding my abilities. Keith never had that problem he worked out all the kinks and got me ready. I ended up passing with him on my first test after ditching my other instructor and couldn’t be happier. He is a good laugh as well at times which really makes the lessons fly. You will not regret making Keith your instructor.
Well thankyou very much mate...those are great words and you deserved your pass due to the effort you put in...well done!
Fantastic experience: I never had any confidence at all on the road before starting lessons with Keith however , now I am a confident young driver in my own little car and it’s all thanks to this amazing man. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Keith. Despite me not passing me test first time round, he never gave up on me and supposrted me every step of the way. Every single driving lesson I had with Keith was enjoyable and thorough, he always goes that extra mile to help his clients. You definitely get what you pay for which it excellent quality. He is also a good laugh and it enables you to feel comfortable and safe whilst on your driving lesson we definitely need more driving instructors like Keith he is one of a kind. Big thank you for everything. Would recommend to all :)
Awh....thanks Courtney that's very sweet of you. You are a very good little driver but used to get test nerves that let you down. You didn't let that deter you though and you showed great strength of character and determination to pass...so well done. Now drive safely in your new car and give me a beep when you see me......miss you
Fantastic experience: I always had a hard time gaining confidence on the road before my lessons with Keith. I went to him after a long break from my lessons with another instructor. He really helped iron out the creases with my driving and built my confidence on the road. He helped identify where I was struggling and taught me the right way the right way to fix the problems I had. I passed with him with 6 minors! We always have a right laugh on our lessons, he has a great sense of humor and he's very witty too! I looked forward to my lessons with him every week. He's always early to lessons and won't put you forward for a test unless he knows you're ready. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive. I was a bit hesitant at first because of the cost of the lessons however they're worth every penny. You really do get what you pay for. He has taught me so much! Thanks so much for everything Kieth :)
Oh Hollie....those are lovely words and I really did enjoy helping you pass you crazy girl. Driving didn't come easy to you but you showed great determination and you deserved to pass after all the effort you put in....drive safely and good luck for the future..oh and try to keep your bottle...Keith
Fantastic experience: Keith is a great driving instructor. My son felt comfortable and confident while learning to drive and also said he had a good sense of humour and was easy to get along with. I ll definitely be asking Keith to teach my younger son to drive in a couple of years. Thanks again Keith
Awh!...thankyou very much...those are lovely words and Jack is a nice lad and was a pleasure to teach..thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Keith is an amazing driving instructor keith is easy to get along with we had some laughs and great chats.made me feel so comfortable even on the day of my test I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would of been and that's because he puts no pressure on you.I passed first time.thankyou so much for making my driving lesson,s so enjoyable.I would 100% recommend keith I don't think you will find anyone better x
That's really lovely of you to say and you were a great pupil and deserved your pass...well done and drive safely!
Negative experience: An instructor who doesn't keep his word!
Well I'm absolutely flabbergasted that you have given me such a poor review especially when you was my 300th Pass and as a reward, I gave you two FREE motorway lessons towards your PassPlus Course. It's a shame that you have chosen to do this review instead of contacting me directly if you have an issue. I simply do not understand your comment about "not keeping my word"....it just doesn't make sense and you have refused to answer my calls or texts to explain yourself. It really is very childish of you.Anyway, whatever the reason, I still wish you well with your driving.. Keith Just like to say a big thankyou to everyone who has spoken up for me in my support. Unfortunately, Google have not removed this review which remains and I have been unable to establish with Rachel what her problem was with me in spite of me helping her pass her test. She also demanded I remove her photograph of her pass and her video showing her on her free motorway driving lesson from facebook....and I have done this. It seems you cannot please some people whatever you do for them...just because I unfriended her on facebook......so thanks again for all your support and I really do appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor. Friendly and a good laugh along the way
Thanks mate...kind words from someone who just passed with ZERO faults!!! ..fantastic and well done!!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic instructor with a great sense of humour as a bonus! No complaints, 5 stars, well deserved!
Thanks for that Joe....kind words indeed and you deserved to pass with the effort you put in....well done!
Fantastic experience: Keith Metcalfe is a fantastic driving instructor who took me from novice driver to passing my test first time in just over 30 hours of lessons. Each lesson was well planned with examples and explanations tailored to me as an individual. The structured approach to test preparation really helped me with test day nerves. If you want a wholly professional learning driving experience, then Keith Metcalfe is the instructor for you. Thank you Keith for getting me on the road.
What can I say?....nice words but you put the effort in and only got what you truely deserved so well done you...remember to drive safely....
Fantastic experience: Keith is the best instructor, I passed my driving exam the first time and all thanks to him.
Thanks Kate for your kind words but you deserved to pass first time...you was a great learner to teach...
Fantastic experience: Keith is a fantastic driving instructor who is very professional, patient and understand. He is very easy to get along with and is always up for a laugh. I would highly recommend keith to anyone that is looking to pass there driving test.
Thanks Luke...you deserved to pass FIRST TIME with the effort and determination you have shown even when you took time out through illness....you did great
Fantastic experience: My names Rebecca Young, I took my driving lessons with Keith after my dad started his lessons with Keith. He was funny, kind, and considerate the entire way through. He put me at ease, he was always giving praise, and despite having family problems when I had to have a break and come back he was more than understanding and patient with me. I was more than happy with Keith, he is amazing value for money and does alot more with you in the first few lessons than most do. He was always happy to help, he is the best driving instructor about. :)
Thankyou Rebecca...that's a lovely thing to say
Fantastic experience: Made me feel comfortable when driving and helped me gain a lot of confidence. Keith was the second instructor I had and he explained every manuever in detail which didn't just help me in my practical but also helped me finally pass my theory which I struggled with for so many years. We had some great chats on our drives which kinda makes me miss my lessons. It has been about 5 months since I passed now and can't imagine what I'd be doing if I didn't drive. Thank you Keith.
Awh...thanks Sian...that's lovely and I enjoyed our chats as well
Positive experience: Didn't seem the most understanding man. Had to stop my lessons with him.
You had to stop your lessons Helen because you owed me money for cancelling late even though you were made aware of my terms and conditions. Funny that you've decided to try and effect my business by giving this poor review when you finished your lessons 7 months ago...I wonder why? Keith
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Keith. Great instructor and easy to get along and learn with. Cheers Keith
My pleasure...wish all my learners were like you...good luck and drive safely
Fantastic experience: An absolutely fantastic driving instructor! Cannot thank Keith enough for helping me achieve a first time pass. He is extremely patient and considerate. I got in his car for my first lesson being absolutely terrified and clueless on how I’d ever manage to do my test, now I feel confident about driving and proud of what I’ve managed to achieve. Thanks for all your help, time and patience Keith!
You deserve it and you've been a great pupil with tons of determination and commitment.....well done!! xx
Fantastic experience: don't even know where to start, i could not have asked for a better instructor! knows how to have a laugh aswell as the serious side to driving, i didn't think i was going to be able to get my head around driving but after 10 months i passed first time..anyone who is looking for an instructor then keith is definately the one to go for, amazing is an understatement. Thanks again keith!!
... You've put a major effort into your lessons more recently and improved a great deal.....and now you've been rewarded well done! xx
Fantastic experience: Passed with Keith first time, and I had a brilliant experience with him, helping me every step of the way, with clear explanations. Cannot recommend him enough
Thanks Hayden..it was my pleasure
Fantastic experience: Not only is Keith is a fantastic driving instructor who is extremely professional, punctual and knowledgeable, but he's a great guy who is easy to get along with - which really helps when going through the process of first learning to drive. I didn't start learning to drive until I was 33, in fact the first time I sat behind a wheel was during my first driving lesson with Keith who could see I was clearly anxious, but he quickly put me at ease! Keith quickly identified my weaknesses and worked patiently with me to overcome them, which I imagine from his point of view was no easy feat! Keith has a structured syllabus to help you gain, and then develop the practical skills you need, but more importantly, he also has a number of other tools in his arsenal to help build confidence and actually help you learn how to "drive" - as Keith will tell you, there is more to learning how to drive than simply marking the vehicle move!
Fantastic experience: An absolute credit to his profession. Keith has one aim and that is to get you passed but with safety as his paramount priority. I never believed in myself as a more mature learner but he had faith from the very start and despite things not always going smoothly was always positive and encouraging. Thank you so much Keith for teaching me such an important life skill.
Michael those are kind words indeed and may I say you deserved to achieve this with your own commitment and determination in something which you found difficult on occasions. Good luck with your new job and drive safely.
Fantastic experience: amazing experience! passed first time!!
Thanks Beth...you was a pleasure to teach and you deserved it. Please remember "safer driving for life" and good luck with your driving...xx
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Keith, I would recommend 100% he teaches how to drive as a whole rather than just getting you test ready. Keith helps you to develop your driving skills to the best of your ability which allows you to be safe driving on the road. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: At the ripe old age of 44 I decided it was about time to get me some wheels. Keith was my first and only port of call for driving tuition. I couldn't be more satisfied with my results ( passed first time - 2 minors ). Keith is an excellent instructor with a wealth of knowledge and experience whilst remaining a great laugh. Towards the end of our driving tuition before my test I actually looked forward to my lessons, not only with an excellent instructor but a really sound bloke . Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Keith was an amazing instructor and helped me a lot. Thanks to him I passed first time!
Fantastic experience: Keith's approach to teaching is second to none. He is calm, funny, patient and very knowledgeable. Fantastic punctuality and flexibility (within reason). If you want to pass and pass well, go with Keith. I was a nervous leaner but he put my mind at ease and got me to be a competent driver. I will be forever grateful to Keith for helping me pass my test. Full marks all the way!
