Fantastic experience: Gav is an absolutely brilliant instructor with incredible amount of patience, I can't recommend him enough!! I went from learning in automatic car, thinking I could never drive manual car, because it was too much for me, to actually tackling the gears and passing in manual I wouldn't be able to do that without his help and support along with the patience made of gold!!

Fantastic experience: It was nice working with Gav Gav is a great driving instructor, very patient and relaxed. Lessons with him were nice and I was able to progress at my own pace. Gav thought me the necessary step needed to pass my exam easily and has made me a really confident driver. I highly recommend this driving company.
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Gavin he was very helpful, understanding. A great teacher very patient. I would recommend him. The best instructor.
Fantastic experience: As a newbie in Doncaster, and with Just a few days to my test date, and no prior formal driving coaching, Gav gave me all the brush up I needed to pass the driving practical test in one sitting. I am particularly impressed at how much he understood my individual need, and tailored our sessions to address them. ✅100% recommended
Fantastic experience: Hi Gavin, I’d just like to post a review on my driving lessons with you which ultimately lead to me passing my driving test. You made my lessons very worth while and was always helping me to improve in areas where I wasn’t so great. I like how you were always telling me in each lesson leading up to my test “just be safe, as long as your safe, you’ll be fine”. Also, you were always giving me the confidence to believe in myself. Yeah, I made mistakes but you helped me to rectify them along the way. I really appreciated the amount of detail you showed for example, you always showed me the Highway Code when needed as well as a list of show me/tell me questions so I had something visual to look at. Another thing was that you didn’t get frustrated with me when we repeatedly went through the show me/tell me questions. Once again, thank you for all the help you gave me and I would definitely recommend you to anyone who was looking to pass their driving test. Also to pass with only 2 minors was great.
Fantastic experience: I completed an intense course with Gav over the last few months as I wanted wanted pass my test quickly. He was helpful, professional and understanding. I would highly recommend learning to drive with him!
Fantastic experience: I came to Gav after I was let down by my last instructor. I did an intense course, so I only needed help crossing the finishing line as I was already experienced. However, Gav got me there, I passed with flying colours after about 5 lessons with him. He really helped with my confidence. He’s a really sweet and kind guy, great people skills, made me feel very comfortable and help me get my PASS! couldn’t recommend him enough.
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with 1 minor fault. Gavin is not only punctual he is also professional all through. He literally holds your hand to the finish line and guides you throughout your driving journey boosting your confidence as well. I will recommend Gavin if you are just starting to learn or just need to refresh your driving skills.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor, very patient, professional & friendly. Thank you so much x
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Guy enough. A great teacher, he makes you feel at ease and fills you with confidence. He helps explain everything in an easy to understand way too! I would recommend him to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Gavin is punctual. Not once was he unduly late for lessons. When running late, he notifies. He allows you the initiative. I was nervous as a first time driver but he helped me overcome the fear. He sure knows how to instil and boost confidence. He is flexible and worked with schedule. We found a synergy over time. I realised how best I learn and worked with it. Overall, a good instructor!
Fantastic experience: A massive thank you so I could pass my exam! Amazing instructor with lots of patience, great at explaining and very supportive! Definitely recommended Absolutely TOP Instructor !!!
Fantastic experience: Gav is really patient and understood how far he could push me to challenge myself. He made me feel at ease straight away and found ways for me to learn that suited me. He gives feedback and asks questions to make sure I understood why something was right or wrong so I could retain the information. Definitely recommend for both nervous and confident students! Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor, patient and kind and will always be understanding, for an older learner like myself I found Gavin to Be brilliant, his positive attitude and encouraging words helped me through not only my lessons but my test as well he never let me give up even tho I wanted to many time, thank you Gavin for giving me faith in myself will always appreciate it and I miss my lessons with you
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test through Gav in my own manual car, he’s an excellent driving instructor, makes you feel relaxed when under pressure, and i would 100% recommend him!
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Gav enough! My mental health was affecting me learning to drive, Gav was the 3rd instructor I had and he was amazing. He respected, understood and learnt how to keep me calm. I really enjoyed my lessons with Gav, I was gutted when I passed first time because then we wouldn’t be having a laugh anymore! He explains things in an easy to understand yet none patronising way. He tailors his teaching methods to you personally so it makes things 100% easier! You don’t even feel like you’re being taught. He’s professional in a friendly way, doesn’t matter whether you have a sense of humour or not, if you can’t get on with Gav, you need a brain transplant! 10/10, 5 stars, gold star sticker for you Gav!
Fantastic experience: I was taught by Gavin as a mature learner and found him to be very patient, professional and with excellent communication skills and gave constructive feedback at every opportunity. Nothing was too much trouble in adapting lessons around my work commitments, but would advise to book your next lessons in advance to make sure he is available, you won't be dissappointed in your experience he takes your abilities and skills to your limit to optimise results.
Fantastic experience: Gav is a brilliant instructor. He is extremely patient and gives plenty of compliments which helps boost confidence. When it feels like the lesson is getting easier he sets new challenges making it a little harder thus keeping the brain working so can continue growing into a more experienced and safer driver. Its definitely great value for money, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Fantastic experience: The best instructor, calm and patient! Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Just passed my driving test ,so pleased. Can’t thank him enough for his focus and determination as well as his drive and passion for what he does. Thanks mate !
Fantastic experience: This guy is the best! Patience of a saint and very easy to get along with! HIGHLY recommend to everyone, honestly, I had a few different instructors before Gav and they pale in comparison, wouldn't have passed without him
