Fantastic experience: Amazing! I used to dread my lessons with a previous instructor as they made me feel incompetent when I made a mistake, but Gerry has been encouraging every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: What an instructor! Gerry took me on last minute for a test in Bury St Edmunds, huge respect to him for this. Gerry is a great instructor, with a funny and upbeat personality. Great energy to be around! Thanks for everything Gerry!

Fantastic experience: Would give 10 stars if I could! Absolutely changed my life. I needed to leave a review because Gerry honestly turned things around for me. I had so many struggles with driving previously but after starting with Gerry for a few months my confidence was boosted through the roof, he is super comforting and supportive, everything a nervous person like myself needed. I passed my test eventually and it felt amazing and I have to thank Gerry for helping me along the way. 10000% recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been fortunate to have Alec as my driving instructor who has been great support. My learning to drive had been a bit disjointed and interrupted by lockdown, but Alec was always very relaxed, patient with my pace of learning and very good at finding ways to explain aspects of driving to me that I found hard to grasp quickly. His lessons made it enjoyable to learn and I felt comfortable to ask questions. I passed first time so thanks for all your instruction!

Fantastic experience: Gerry is a very thorough driving instructor and adapts to the student's ability and attitude towards driving. He is approachable for both student and parents and offers advice and guidance. Having had both our children pass their driving tests first time under his guidance, we can highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Gerry is a fantastic driving instructor and I couldn’t recommend him enough! He has been such a patient and encouraging teacher to have in the passenger seat and has boosted my confidence so much. I’m so glad I heard of Gerry’s A star driving academy as I neared being able to learn to drive and am so grateful to have had an instructor who made learning to drive so stress-free. Thanks again Gerry!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Gerry enough! Very patient, great sense of humour and an overall amazing instructor!

Fantastic experience: Gerry is a fantastic instructor and I would highly recommend him! He’s calm and patient which really helped with my confidence, and so friendly too! An amazing instructor and am highly grateful for all your help getting me on the road. Thanks again :)

Fantastic experience: So glad I got referred to Gerry - I'd had bad experiences with two previous instructors, who used to shout and rave at every mistake, and as a result I was a very nervous and unconfident driver. In constrast I found Gerry a very calming presence. He is always encouraging, and has never needed to raise his voice or make me feel over a mistake. With him I started to enjoy rather than dread driving lessons, and have now passed my practical test. Gerry is a wonderful bloke, with a vast amount of experience, and a manner that will set nervous drivers at their ease. Highly recommended to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I learnt to drive last year for the first time, and have now passed. Gerry was professional and helpful while I was learning to drive, he was reliable, helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Gerry taught me how to drive a few years back now. He is the most patient, caring, funny, most calming driving instructor. Nothing was ever to much trouble or hassle. He explained everything so well and clearly, even in times of panic he would make you feel at ease and safe. When my driving test was due, Gerry had a family emergency, which meant he had to leave the country. Whilst he was dealing with his own personal problems, he still took the time, to find a local driving instructor to take me to and from my driving test. Of course, I passed first time due to his legendary teaching skills! I feel that just shows the sort of person he is and the loyalty he has to his pupils. I will forever be grateful to him and will continue to sing his praises.

Fantastic experience: Gerry makes learning to drive easy. He is always so cool calm and collected. He teaches you in a way which puts you at ease with what you are doing behind the wheel. I would 100% recommend Gerry to anyone that is thinking of learning to drive

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have asked for a better experience when learning to drive. Gerry’s A Star Driving Academy taught me how to become a safe and considerate driver and led me to a first time pass. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Many years of stop/start driving due to social life, I gave up with the idea of passing my test, each time I booked back with Gerry. He made me feel at ease and talked me through all steps, he made my confidence grow and know that I could do it easily, after finally biting the bullet I booked my test and passed 1st time. Highly recommend his smooth nature to instructing and helping through all stages learning.

Fantastic experience: Gerry taught me how to drive in the middle of a pandemic and helped me over my anxiety of driving , I passed 1st time thanks to this legend , his professional, patient and the best at what he does , nearly a year in and I still miss the banter king sitting in the passenger seat lakeisha :)

Fantastic experience: couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! gerry is always professional, kind and understanding in every situation. i passed last year and i am now a confident driver on the roads. he always remained confident in my abilities and i wouldn’t have done it without his support, couldn’t recommend him enough :)

Fantastic experience: From not even knowing how to turn a car on let alone drive it in my first lesson, to passing first time with only 17 hours of lessons, I think that easily explains how great Gerry is. He always made me comfortable and at ease and was very good at communicating with me what I needed to work on and how I was going to do that, but also was so accommodating in figuring out lesson times. I would 1000% recommend Gerry as I could not have had a better, more comfortable experience!

Fantastic experience: The best instructor ever!! I would recommend to everyone who want to pass first time!!

Fantastic experience: Cant thank you enough, after the year I had you made that year a good one and changed my life, such a friendly professional and genuinely such the nicest guy to. Thank you x

Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Gerry today. Such a lovely man and good at what he does. I had a bad experience with a previous instructor but I'm so glad I decided to go with Gerry instead. There's a reason he's rated A star. Would recommend him to anyone looking to drive. Thanks again Gerry.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Gerry enough or wished for a better instructor! Incredibly patient and friendly and truly wants to make sure you are a good driver, not just good enough to pass. 10/10 ⭐️

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Gerry enough for teaching me. 5 months ago I’d never stepped into a drivers seat but with Gerry’s patience and amazing tutoring he didn’t just get me through the test he’s allowed me to become a safe driver on the roads and that’s what Gerry does he prepares you for when you have passed and with a few laughs along the way thank you for keeping me relaxed throughout the process throughly recommend

Fantastic experience: Gerry was a great instructor for me and always made me feel relaxed at the wheel. Always had fun on my lessons and was taught really well. Very glad i had him as my instructor and couldnt have done it without him.

Fantastic experience: The best instructor ever! Gerry made me feel so comfortable about driving and made it a fun experience

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have chose a better instructor to learn with. Fully recommend him to anyone. Knew exactly how to calm me down when I got nervous and flustered. And I passed first time!!

Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Gerry was an absoulte pleasure. the dedication and care that go into his lessons is out of this world. as soon as i got behind the steering wheel in the car he made me feel confortable and always beleived in my ability even when i didnt beleive in it myself. its almost been a year to the day since i passed my test and i still hear his instructions in my mind when driving. if you're going to learn to drive, Learn with Gerry's A star Driving Academy, you wont regret it.

Fantastic experience: Unreal driving instructor, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get on the road!!!

Fantastic experience: I passed with Gerry in 2017 on my second attempt. As someone with anxiety, learning to drive was a big obstacle of mine and I was quite an apprehensive driver. However, Gerry was always reassuring and always made me feel at ease and confident. Since passing my anxiety has improved significantly both on and off the road. It has given me a lot of independence and confidence which I did not have before. I also now have a job in London which requires me to drive around the city and even further afield in a company car, I couldn't imagine ever having the confidence to do so without Gerry's reassurance. I cannot recommend him enough :-)

Fantastic experience: Great instructor would highly recommend! Hated driving lessons before I started lessons with Gerry, he made lessons enjoyable and give me the skills to be a good competent driver

Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor, very patient, knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Would very highly recommend Gerry!

Fantastic experience: I passed with Gerry nearly 6 years ago, after failing two intensive courses I was preparing to give up when my sister recommend Gerry, turns out the previous instructor hadn’t taught me half the things I needed to know, I had never heard of clutch control before! Gerry is a great bloke who instantly makes you feel comfortable & gives you that confidence you need, don’t make the mistake I did and waste money on poor instructors, book with Gerry’s A star driving academy.

Fantastic experience: I could not have asked for a better driving instructor! Gerry is incredibly patient and encouraging! Driving lessons were always made enjoyable and his great sense of humour is a bonus! xx

Fantastic experience: Gerry taught me and my sister how to drive! Highly recommended, he taught us more than just how to pass the test. And I believe we're safer drivers on the road because of it!

Fantastic experience: Gerry is amazing. I was a late starter but that didn't matter. Made to feel at ease with the big man. Such a knowledgeable and brilliant bloke. I promise you, you will not regret booking with this guy. I passed first time with no minors and I'm 100% confident in saying it was all down to Gerry. Thanks mate.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Gerry Harrington, he had great patience with me and always knew what to say to make me feel comfortable and confident within my driving. He always clearly explained everything to me so I fully understood. and made driving fun for me which really helped me passed. It took me a few times to pass but he always made sure my head was in the game and I never gave up. Highly recommend to anyone who is wanting to drive.

Fantastic experience: Gerry Is an amazing instructor. I could not have asked for a more perfect teacher. Affordable lessons with a brilliant sense of humour to always brighten the day. I would recommend him to everyone. It was never a dull moment when I got into the car with him.

Fantastic experience: My Son has just passed his test first time with Gerry, and all I need to say is he wouldn’t of achieved what he has without him. Gerry is a kind, patient and funny man. Ben felt so relaxed with him as he suffers quite bad with anxiety and Gerry made all lessons a great joy. A 5***** Driving Instructor

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have wished for a better learning experience! No matter what you do you will always be safe, and not only does he teach you to pass, he teaches you valuable lessons you most likely would not get from other instructors. Friendly, funny guy who’s always welcoming, but serious when you need him to be! 5 stars from me!

Fantastic experience: Gerry is an amazing driving instructor who will always accommodate your needs whilst driving. He is patient and calming, and also knows how to make you smile and laugh when you are feeling down. When you make mistakes he doesn't judge you, he'll encourage you to try again to make you a better driver. I highly recommend Gerry to everyone who wishes to learn to drive.
