Fantastic experience: He offers an excellent service as he really knows his stuff. He has got a good subject knowledge and give you information in bitesize. He will take his time if you need more help and once you understand it, he will move on to the next module. He will give you a progress card and will explain it all for you + block booking discounts, better than most. It is a more independent service rather than mainstream learning, hence more tailored. A nice car to learn in and very comfortable. Good to see that he has not just gone for fuel economy car but went for a decent model. I would highly recommend this one ☝
