Always turned up on time, always happy, highly recommend if you want to get through your driving test quickly with confidence whilst looking forward to every lesson.

Fantastic experience: Learning with Dave was the best decision I ever made. After 2 failed attempts to get test ready with other instructors, Dave was the perfect match for me, always calm, reassuring, professional and overall a great teacher. I passed my driving test 1st time, going into it confident and as prepared as I could be. I never expected my driving lessons to be the highlight of my week, but Dave made driving enjoyable for me for the first time ever, with his warm personality and clear instructions. Dave also knows the secret to a perfect parallel park. I couldn't recommend David Stokoe Driving School enough.
