Fantastic experience: Neil was a great instructor, I learned to drive within 8 months of lessons and enjoyed them all. He was always very clear with his instructions and also patient with you when things dont go to plan. Neil was always fairly flexible and helped me out when he could if that meant swapping clients to fit my schedule which was so helpful.

Fantastic experience: I done 38 lessons with Neil, from total beginner to passing comfortably on my second attempt. Neil is a great instructor and gets information across very well, his triangle analogy with reverse parallel in particular, made a difficult manoeuvre so easy once I understood it. He is a funny, friendly guy and I found it easy to get along with him, but when it came to mistakes he was always firm in his tone and helped me to understand the dangers I could create in a way that never involved shouting or berating me. I highly recommend Neil as a driving instructor and I am glad I learned with him. Thanks Neil!

Fantastic experience: PASS WITH 0 FAULTS. I had an amazing experience learning through DVD School of Motoring. I was clueless and nervous about driving and Neil explained everything very clearly and straight to the point. I felt at ease during every lesson and constructive criticism was given throughout which made my aware of the mistakes I was making which turned me into a better driver. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to use this driving school as i cannot believe i passed my test with 0 fault; flying colours!!! And it was all down to my teacher. Many thanks again
