Fantastic experience: Richard is an outstanding driving teacher that is both patient and understanding while ensuring that as a student the crucial bits aren't missed. Highly recommended especially if you're in need of a trusted teacher!

Negative experience: A conman and a crook, AVOID SO I paid for 40 lessons, had 37 and then didn't contact Richard for a while. Then I ask for my money back as on the system it said I only had 37. Richard can't remember how many lessons we had and pretends that we had all 40. Then when I explain what it says on the system he changes it, 6 months after my last lesson with him!! He pretended that he hadn't updated the system but I did not have the time to argue with him I've 3 lessons and just let him keep the money. I'm sure he'll come up with some excuses that I had all the lessons but I really hadn't. Apart from that the lessons were disorganised and progress was slow. Our first lesson he didn't show up. His communication skills are awful. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
