Fantastic experience: James is an absolutely amazing instructor. I cannot recommend him enough. His instruction is clear, concise , relaxed and encouraging. He has the patience of a saint ! Coming to learn to drive at a mature age with a whole host of SEN needs I didn’t think I’d ever achieve a pass ! With his guidance and ability to tailor his instruction to my needs I did it. Thank you James.

Fantastic experience: James is an absolutely amazing driving instructor, his teaching is tailored to each person and will adapt to suit you. Even though i had never drove before, I never felt nervous due to James having a friendly and funny personality. I passed first time, which is majorly down to the way James prepared me for a test. He also has a really helpful YouTube channel to back up the lesson. Thanks so much James x

Fantastic experience: Could not have asked for a better instructor. Passed first time yesterday with just one minor. James always would get my input as a student on what i was feeling comfortable with and what i was ready to move on to. I always looked forward to our lessons (and the dad jokes - sorry james!!) Would highly recommend him to anyone who asks about instructors. Also check out his youtube as it is very helpful for other learners! Thank you James

Fantastic experience: James is amazing!! I’m an extremely anxious driver and he has been so patient with me and understanding. He really helped to boost my confidence. He’s good at using different techniques depending on how you learn best. He will send you to test with all the knowledge you need he doesn’t miss a detail! His YouTube channel also helped me so much as I was able to rewatch my own videos as well as learn from other people! He’s super fun as well and can always make you laugh :) I highly recommend James.

James Chisnall 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing instructor. Without doubt, the best there is. James got our daughter through her test first time. He made the lessons fun and exciting, which is exactly what she needed, and always made her feel good - even when she made mistakes, which learners are bound to do. Very flexible and always tried his best to accommodate her A-level timetable. Nothing was too much effort, no question too big or small, and the confidence he has given her is off the charts. Really looking forward to him instructing our other daughter when she hits 17.

Fantastic experience: James is an excellent instructor, my son was only 17 yrs and passed first time, started in June and passed in October. Good communicator, reliable and a friendly manner which put my son at ease. Very knowledgeable and clearly enjoys teaching which shows!

Amy Keeble 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: An amazing instructor! James was generous enough to take me on for driving lessons very last minute due to my original instructor being unable to continue lessons. Couldn’t recommend him enough. He is very kind and reassuring and will always be very clear when a “problem” needs to be solved. He helped me to gain confidence with driving. I always enjoyed the lessons, very professional, very entertaining and always felt comfortable in his presence.

Will Hawes 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: James helped me to pass my test at the first time with just under 5 months of lessons. He is very flexible with his schedule and is very reassuring with any problems you face while learning to drive. He really is a top man and has a brilliant personality as well as being a top driving instructor, which helps greatly when learning to drive. He tailors your lessons around you and the aspects of driving you are struggling with which is also important. Cannot recommend James highly enough- brilliant instructor and brilliant guy!

Sam Foote 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing instructor and guy. always looked forward to lessons as his kindness and banter made for a great time. I cannot recommend him enough. he's supportive all the way from your first lesson to your test. he's able to answer any questions or queries about the roads without a shadow of hesitation which constantly put my mind at ease on the lessons running up to my test. James is amazingly flexible in his lesson plans, if there's a certain route or maneuver you want to go over hell adjust and adapt to fit it in. phenomenal person and great singer

Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving instructor, patient and laid back but with a brilliant and careful teaching style which he tailors to each student. I would recommend to anyone.

I’m amazed but even I passed first time and that is down to the fantastic teaching I received from James.

Imi Doe 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started to learn how to drive when I was 17 with a different instructor who I really didn’t get on with and struggled to learn with their teaching technique. I felt so rubbish after every lesson that I decided that driving wasn’t for me and that I really did not want to learn how to drive... 2 years later I wanted to try again and I fortunately found James who had availability to teach me how to drive! Its been a fantastic journey to which I have recently passed first time with NO MINORS!!! I 100% definitely recommend to anyone! Great teaching style and James will make you feel at ease every lesson giving you great confidence to drive! Thank you so much for your time and teaching me how to drive which resulted in a fantastic pass!!
