Fantastic experience: Chris is amazing. He has taught both my children to drive, and I feel they are both very good and safe little drivers thanks to Chris teaching skills. I feel it’s also worth mentioning that one of my children has autism and ADHD, and Chris was great, showing patience in building a trusting professional relationship with my child, giving them confidence in Chris and their driving ability.

Lily Daniell 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: My driving journey started with two instructors who never turned up on time, ended lessons early, shouted at me when I got things wrong and made me feel like I would never pass my test. Changing instructors to Chris was the best choice I could have made. He is the most professional, caring, kind and considerate instructor I have ever met. No question is a silly question with him and he is always happy to go over things a billion times over until you’re comfortable. He has a way of completely turning a negative situation around and helps you focus on the positives which has helped me massively and changed the way I view myself as a driver. The time and energy he has put into our lessons is absolutely unmatched and I couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you so much Chris, truly couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic experience: I passed my test over two months ago and my only regret is not starting sooner. I can't recommend Chris enough. He is patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease. Thanks to him, I was prepared not only to pass my test (first time) but also to become a confident driver. Thank you, Chris!

Morgan Stevens 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Chris enough! I passed my test on my first attempt! I started out being very anxious to drive since I didn't know anything but I quickly built my confidence learning from him. Driving went from something scary to something I love doing, thanks to his guidance. He's very calm, patient and great at explaining how to improve your driving and understanding of certain situations. When something goes wrong, he takes the time to talk about it and make sure you understand what went wrong and how you could improve from that experience. Overall such a great instructor!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start, I'm 28 I've been with numerous instructor always messed me about but after learning with Chris I knew there was no messing about always to took time to explain the situation and what the right thing is to do and why you should do it not only that I always struggled on manoeuvres but Chris always had a solution to make it a bit of easier task than it was. Glad I made the right choice and chose to go with Chris because I wouldn't of passed if it wasn't for his patient and guidance. Thank you again Chris none of this was possible.

Fantastic experience: Chris has been an amazing driving instructor for my daughter. She was very anxious at her first lesson, and he very quickly put her at ease and built up her confidence. She passed on her first attempt, thanks to his calming support and guidance. I highly recommend and can't thank him enough for everything he has done.

Kelly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed my test first time after learning with Chris. He’s been an amazing instructor throughout and I’m so grateful for all the help he’s given me! I’m quite an anxious person and was nervous to start lessons, but Chris is calm, patient, and has always been really reassuring which is just what I needed - I felt at ease straight away! Chris always makes an effort to be as flexible as he can to fit in lessons to suit your needs, and is happy to learn at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor, he’s been great :)

Fantastic experience: I have been with Chris B for a while and I have enjoyed my experience with him. He has been very good with his teachings and is very patient, calm and easily approachable with questions and concerns. He answered my questions perfectly so that I can understand how to drive properly and understand road situations better. After having my Driving Test today I come out with a Pass with ZERO faults, a clean sheet. I would highly recommend Chris B to anyone who wants to learn how to drive.

Fantastic experience: My wife was with another instructor and it wasn’t working out. I called Chris and right from that first call I could tell he would be perfect. He seemed very calming and patient. My wife’s confidence in driving grew so rapidly with him and she booked her test and flew through her test first time with only six minors. Anyone in the Barry area learning to drive should use Chris.
