Fantastic experience: Daf was perfect for me: friendly, knowledgeable, and really flexible to my busy scheduling needs. Within a few lessons we'd built a lot of confidence that I'd struggled with in the past, and overcome some really challenging hang ups.

Without his support i would never have been able too pass, and thankyou dyffd for the help
Fantastic experience: THINKING OF YOUR NEXT DRIVING SCHOOL? I highly recommend DAFFYD’S DRIVING SCHOOL. He went above and beyond to ensure I had my certificate at first attempt by ticking all the boxes. and made sure no gap was left uncompleted. I was over prepared I must confess and I’d never thought I could be so road disciplined. He’s the best in the game and I will be too unfair and stingy not to recommend him like someone did to me.

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Daffyd enough for a driving instructor! Not only is he accommodating, experienced, responsible, and willing to thoroughly and plainly explain his knowledge and skill. He is also so down to earth, relatable and friendly. He made me feel so comfortable and at ease right from the first lesson. He was not just my instructor but became my friend. I have had many instructors, however have never been made to feel confident in myself. Daffyd allowed me to learn and build my own skill not just be able to do what an instructor says. Daffyd, thank you from my family and I, you'll never understand the difference you have made to us. I'm going to miss our lessons and chats. Cheers buddy, and anyone looking for a driving instructor, I will most definitely send your way!

Not only that, he always cheered me up and always had a good laugh. Unfortunately, Dafydd got injured was unable to instruct me, but instead found a replacement instructor, Phil. Even though he was injured, always was there for me to give advice. Because of him passed first time and it was a pleasure to be taught by him.

Fantastic experience: Daffyd is the man! I had a crash course with Daffyd around Abergavenny and passed on my test a few weeks later. Daffyd has a very patient style and stands out among instructors for his scepticism, for example, about endless confusing 'reference points'. 'Go with your gut' was his instruction on parking, and it works! A good guy to spend time with in a car learning to drive.
Fantastic experience: Dafydd is an amazing instructor, always helped me put my anxieties at ease and has always been patient with me, definitely wouldn’t of passed so quickly if it wasn’t for having such a great instructor who always had faith in me!
Fantastic experience: Daffyd was an extremely good driving instructor to me, he was calm, reassuring but also informative and encouraging. He made each and every driving lesson enjoyable and helpful. It was a pleasure being taught by him and his teaching allowed me to pass first time. I would recommend him to all people looking to learn how to drive.
Fantastic experience: Daffyd is an amazing driving instructor with so much patience! I started learning with him in February and it was honestly the best choice I made. I’m quite a nervous person but felt at ease on all my lessons because I knew he would make sure I was a comfortable Learner.
Fantastic experience: After trying two previous instructors daffyd’s approach worked perfectly. He was calm and patient and his teaching style was very effective for me. Couldnt have asked for a better instructor for me
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience learning to drive with Daffyd, his patience and positive attitude towards me has been amazing. The lessons never felt like a chore as I found daf so easy and comfortable to talk too, if there was absolutely anything I was unsure of we would revisit it over and over again until I was 100% confident. His lessons were always reliable and I thoroughly enjoyed learning with him. I would recommend him to anyone anyday! Thankyou Daf :)
Fantastic experience: From the start I felt assured I was with the right teacher. Kept calm throughout my lessons and towards the end it was like driving with a mate in the car. Couldn’t recommend any more!
Fantastic experience: Daffyd is an excellent driving instructor with lots of patience. During our mock test he instantly picked up on my mistakes and we meticulously worked on them to improve my chances of passing. Ended up passing first time due to his efforts. Thanks a bunch, Daffyd. Would recommend as an instructor to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Daffyd to learn to drive with ! Just passed my test and I couldn’t have done it without his help , he’s great and helpful with anything your struggling with, he’s friendly and calm which helped me so much with my nerves can’t thank him enough
Fantastic experience: After not having the best start to my learner driver experience due to previous instructors, Daffyd was a breath of fresh air. He was patient, calm and reassuring which enabled me to be more confident with my driving, helping me to pass first time. Daffyd was extremely reliable with lessons. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an instructor.
Thanks m8!! All down to you just guided you in the right way
Fantastic experience: Awsome instructor learned so much in so little time 110% would advise for learners to use him thankyou for helping me pass mate
Fantastic experience: Dafydd is very professional and friendly with his teaching and is able to make the driving experience completely stress free. He made me feel very calm and goes at your own pace. Ive recommend him to all my friends and family and will continue to recommend him to anyone else looking for a amazing instructor. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, gave me clear instructions about the test rules, made me feel very comfortable, would 100% recommend
Fantastic experience: Excellent! Daffyd taught me so much, with the perfect amount of support. He managed to identify the areas that I was struggling with and planned this into our lessons so well; always making sure that I was comfortable to move on and allowing me to progress and a pace I was comfortable with. He's a really friendly and reassuring person which really helped with my confidence. He also was very accommodating for my timeframe - fitting in lessons around my work as well as doing longer lessons in preparation for my test date, at short notice too. The app he uses to book and manage lessons makes everything so much easier to keep track of and lets you check what areas you need to work on. Overall, I can't recommend him enough, honestly so glad that I had him to teach me and there's no chance I would have passes as fast as I did without him!
Thanks for your feed back jack it was a pleasure teaching you
Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving instructor. Really patient☺️and helpful, i passed first time
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Daffyd! He really easy to work with, happy to help you with anything that you need to get you to a comfortable place with driving.

Fantastic experience: Daffyd was a very good instructor as he gave me several hours of driving lessons learning what would be needed both on the road and for my test.

Fantastic experience: Passed first time, he gave me the confidence i needed to get the pass,, good teacher, very patient... Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dafyd, he's approachable, very patient in giving out instructions a d very vocal in pointing out my faults during our sessions. He's tips, advices and knowledge around the area/ routes we took during our driving lesson were very accurate and useful which did come out at the time of the exam!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Daffydd, after having a terrible experience with a past instructor he helped me pass and corrected many things I was doing wrong and had become a habit. Good chats too but serious when need to be and that’s what you want in an instructor especially when your spending hours a week with them. Thank you so much Daf
Fantastic experience: Seriously recommend Daf! After the past 2 years we’ve had he really made lessons practical and straight forward. Such a patient guy, easy to talk too and teaches you everything you need to know! Always manages to fit you in somehow! After a few lessons with him fitting me in last minute cause of some circumstances he led me to a pass first time without that many lessons! Cheers mate it really was a pleasure learning to drive with you.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Daffyd’s driving school, very professional and puts you at ease. Couldn’t do enough to help. Thanks so much Daffyd
