Fantastic experience: David was a brilliant instructor! He prepared me so well for my test and incredibly I passed first time. My lessons were also really enjoyable and he was really friendly.

Fantastic experience: Having driven in two other countries before, I was under the assumption that the UK driving test would be a breeze. Unfortunately, it isnt. In the first few classes with David, he quickly realised that i had a lot to 'Un-learn' rather than learn. He really focused on identifying my weak points and specifically focusing on improving them. I really enjoyed working with David through this process. He was thorough in all aspects - Be it identifying my improvement areas, sending links to videos I need to review and even the test center overview - what to expect on test day! The most important thing with the driving test is to know the area you will be tested in - with David's guidance, he made sure that none of the roads on 'test day' were unfamiliar to me - and hence no major surprises. I also found David to be such a fun, caring personality and he has my highest recommendation.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend enough! Taught both my sister and I and both passed first time. David is both patient and clear while instructing, and very easy going - it was always a very comfortable atmosphere and takes the stress off of the driving.

Fantastic experience: I have not driven a car since I passed my driving test 20 years ago. I was looking for an experienced and patient instructor to help me re-learn driving and build up my confidence. I was lucky to have found David, who has done exactly that! It was easy to arrange lessons and there was a good mix of teaching techniques used. Naturally, I had my ups and downs but David has always motivated me not to give up. He was frank with me about the progress I was making and the number of lessons I would need. When David thought I was ready, he encouraged me to buy a car and start driving on my own. I really needed that push, otherwise I would still be taking driving lessons! I am particularly grateful that he made himself available to accompany me when I drove my car back from the dealership. I will never forget the sense of achievement I felt when I first drove to work last month - I'll always be grateful for David for getting me there! He's done a great job equipping me with driving techniques and I can still hear his words of advice when I am driving. I am very pleased with what we have achieved in such a short period of time.
