David Hughes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a good few hours before with another instructor but those hours really didn't do anything for me. I could already drive (im 42 years old )but not at the standard to pass my test. I rang Stuart because my test was in 5 weeks time,he took me on and from the 1st lesson I was at ease. Stuart Is so calm,so positive and even though I still had doubts about passing he reassured me with great advice and made everything seem easier than I thought. Defiantly great at his job

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant instructor, had around 4/5 months of lessons with him and has my test today and passed. After around 4 years of trying and failing my test with previous instructors Stuart taught me to believe in myself and always kept calm and showed me how to remain calm even when I made a mistake, always goes above and beyond to send helpful links aswell to help you focus and relax whilst the build up to your test and nothing is ever too much trouble regardless of what it is. During a difficult time Stu helped me and guided me even when I thought the impossible he made me believe I could! Would recommend 1000% to everyone and already have recommend him !!

Fantastic experience: An incredibly patient and reassuring instructor. Before I started learning to drive I was in a bad place in my life suffering with extreme anxiety and didn’t think I’d be capable of getting behind the wheel at all. 6 months later I’ve passed my driving test and love driving and it’s improved my confidence across the board. Thank you Stu, you’ve been so encouraging and accommodating, couldn’t have done this without your help!
