Fantastic experience: Chris is a fantastic instructor. He was very supportive and patient. He was great at dealing with nerves on the day of the test and helped me develop strategies to cope. He worked hard at building my confidence before the test so I felt ready. I'm not sure I could have done it without him. You can tell Chris works hard at what he does. Lessons were tailored each time and he was great at listening and adapting his teaching as needed. He offered his support out of hours with any questions I had running up to the test and even now I have passed he is checking in to see how I'm getting on. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Thank you so much for those words, so very kind.

I do work hard, it's a bespoke service tailored to each student's need utilising my qualifications as a driving instructor and as a therapist.

But without your hard work, it wouldn't have worked. Being open to making mistakes, analysing and learning from them. Trusting the process and trusting me when asking you to do certain roads and junctions was key. Thank you for your hard work.

You are always welcome to contact me for information or advice. Once a Moose Driver, always a Moose Driver.

Fantastic experience: I swapped to Moose driving as my second driving instructor, as the first one found it difficult to understand how my eye condition affected my driving. Chris was incredibly kind and accommodating, always listening to how I felt my eyes impacted my driving and was always keen to find ways to improve regardless. Even if you don’t have any specific needs when it comes to driving, I would highly recommend Moose driving to anyone who wants to have a positive experience when learning to drive.

Thank you so much for those kind words. You did a great job, we worked as a team and then I handed it over to you lesson by lesson.

I'm going to miss the rainy weekend lessons as almost everyone seemed to be!!!

Elisabeth Snell 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I would absolutely recommend Moose Driving to anybody looking to drive! Chris helped build my confidence and ability so much! It feels like barely any time passed between when 15 mph on a road where the speed limit was 30 mph felt way too fast, to now passing my test, but throughout the way I was supported the whole way through, with Chris building up with different and more complicated driving, while still ensuring I was comfortable and confident in myself every step of the way. I especially think his attitude to making mistakes, with the ‘tick-tick’ approach helped to keep me going and easily move on from mistakes, while still learning from them, which I think helped me improve massively as I was learning and even during my test! Overall I’m so happy with my experience learning and thankful for the expert guidance throughout my learning!

Moose Driving

Thank you so much for the review but most importantly for being such a great student.

We work as a team and a safe environment free from judgment in order to experiment and therefore make mistakes is vital to learning.

Tick-Tick is with you for life, meaning both forever and for any part of life, not just driving.

It was a pleasure to teach you, as it was with your brothers too.

And a special thanks to your parents for their support and development using their car for practice and the test.

Amy Green 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had attempted to learnt to drive 2 times before I came to moose driving. I had assumed driving was just not for me, I hated it but with small children it was something I needed to do. When i learnt moose driving specialised in anxiety and i had my first lesson I felt this time things might be different. Chris was a fantastic instructor he was kind, fair, patient, a good listener and happy to answer any question I had about driving or anxiety. I have a busy life, anxiety and it took a while for me to pick up driving confidently but in time I started to believe I could maybe pass my test. Today to my surprise I passed my test! It is proof that with a decent driving instructor, hard-work and encouragement you can pass your test no matter how many times you have tried before. Thank you Chris for everything.

Thank you for those kind words, we made an amazing team.

Started off we me helping to spin the plates, kept building up your skills and handing you the next plate.

Before you knew it, reflection showed that you could spin all the plates at once.

Many of the lessons we learned can be used in other parts of life too. You are such a safe driver and an amazing person. It's been a pleasure to have you as a student.

Negative experience: "The driving test isn't about memory of junctions and roads. It's about reading roads, road signs, lane markings and translating what you know to that moment in time with the road and the traffic" I was looking for a new instructor and that's the message I got from him. Well, I did explain I'd never ever driven through Bramcote Island or Bardills Roundabout or missing the entire Long Eaton test route. Those are not exactly "memory of junctions". I guess there're pupils who master those first time in their life during the test. A stuck-up, full of himself person. It's good you teach automatic, not manual. Thanks for the lecture but I'm 44, not 18, moron.

Moose Driving

We're sorry that you don't agree with the DVSA, our view, Institute of Advanced Motorists, and ROSPA's view on learning to drive; that we "learn skills to drive any roads rather than learning individual roads and routes."

It's a method that has been working for decades and has saved lives.

After receiving a text message from you where you blamed your instructor from another company for your recent test fail because they hadn't taken you on a particular road and junction which you did on your test, we offered advice of which you above selected a small part in this review. Even though we were not able to take you on as a customer, we took time to try to help you and guide you with advice about driving, learning and how to check your instructor had the required license when making enquiries.

The advice given was professional, correct and in-line with any good instructor's advice.

We NEVER teach test routes and test roads. We provide skills to drive, so you can adapt to the situation infront of you in that moment and drive ANY road.

"I had no idea which lane to use to go where the examiner told me to." Is part of your original message to us. Our teaching provides you the skills to make decisions based on instructions. We teach the preparation involved approaching roundabouts and junctions by reading the road signs, the lines and arrows and being prepared early enough to react; to "do something safely". It's a mantra all of our students know.

Our students are also aware that on the driving test, the examiner is not after "pupils who master" Junctions. They are after safe driving, not perfection. If the driving isn't safe then it will receive faults.

These are the skills you need to drive on your own which is what the driving test recreates, on your own on ANY road and junction.

We DON'T teach which lane to use when asked to go a certain direction at a certain roundabout. These are not adaptable skills and will not allow you to drive anywhere and on any road.

We are sorry that this is not what you want when leaning, we are clearly not the right driving school for you and we are truly thankful that we didn't go beyond a text message with you.

Your reply via text message then included a torrent of abuse and profanity at which point we decided to end the conversation with you. Which you then decided to continue abuse because we didn't reply to it, despite A) Not being able to provide lessons in your area and B) No-one should be subject to the abuse and threats you gave.

Your review is based on a text message conversation where you repeatedly blamed your instructors from other driving schools for your driving test fails, where you only wanted to learn test routes and where you became abusive when given an answer you didn't agree with.

You have never been a customer of Moose Driving and have never received tuition from Moose Driving.

Those people who have received tuition and who have been open to the help, guidance & teaching they have received have had (at time of this review) an 82% pass rate with the driving test and we have received awards for our tuition year-on-year.

Our existing and passed customers have been thankful and rewarding and our future customers will make open choices based on what they believe is the right method for them to learn and develop to drive safely on any road and any situation as we teach or to look elsewhere if they want to learn single routes.

For any prospective learners reading this, if you are looking to learn test routes, we are not the driving school for you.

Fantastic experience: Chris has been a wonderful driving instructor. With his guidance and support, I passed my test the first time and in just eleven weeks. Chris has a great approach to teaching: layering new experiences and challenges when he knows you have the capability and confidence to do so. Chris is personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He’s also a calm instructor, which really helps when you’re feeling less confident or just have a Wally moment! Thank you, Chris, I can’t praise you highly enough!

Thank you for the wonderful review and for choosing us (and me, Chris). From lesson 1 we had "We are a Team". That was you and me, but also us and them...the other road users.

By communicating and co-operating for the greater good we were able to safely drive Lady Bay's narrow streets and meeting traffic from lesson 2.

Every student leaves a memory and a legacy and yours is Rule 2. Not the one you suggested ; but Rule 2 has become "We are a Team".

Never break the rules; and working as a team, everyone together with clear communication and clearer communication when others need it gives everyone safe driving for life.

So thank you for being part of our past and future.

lizzie bostock 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was really anxious about learning to drive and finding the right instructor, but all of that changed after my first lesson with Chris at Moose Driving School. I quickly gained confidence, and his clear and encouraging teaching style helped me go from being nervous to genuinely excited about driving. Many thanks to Chris, I passed on my first try just three and a half months later!

Nathan Johnson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Moose Driving! From my very first lesson to passing my test today, every step of the journey was fantastic. The instructors are incredibly considerate, making sure to check all the boxes for my individual needs. I learned to drive in an automatic, which has truly improved both my life and my career prospects. A special shoutout to my previous instructor, who helped me build a solid foundation before moving on to pursue their own career goals. My current instructor picked up right where they left off, providing the same level of excellence and guidance. Both were patient, supportive, and helped me grow in confidence with every lesson. I genuinely can’t say a bad thing about my experience. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish, and I am so grateful to the team for helping me achieve this milestone. Highly recommend!

Reuben Chandy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Before I started with Chris, I was a very anxious driver. The calm, relaxed and encouraging atmosphere he creates in the car made a world of difference. Chris helped me to see driving as just something normal- nothing to be stressed about. With this mindset, I was able to progress with my driving skills until I passed first time. Chris was helping me every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and was learning in a way that suited me well. He has nuggets of wisdom that I don't think you would find anywhere else, and I can't thank him enough for delivering me to success. I 100% recommend Moose Driving !!

Claire Gower 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Chris has been the best driving instructor that I could have wished for. I started lessons a couple of years ago with a different instructor and had my confidence knocked. From just 10 mins of my first lesson with Chris I felt like I could do it. He has such a calming demeanour, believes in you and encourages you to face into your fears, often using logic and analogies to help you understand situations on the road. His strategy of ‘Tick tick’ has been a game changer for me and helped me focus on the moment rather than dwelling on past mistakes. I never thought I’d be someone that would enjoy driving lessons but I came home after lessons smiling, pleased with what I had achieved. With mistakes, I was never made to feel silly and Chris would always help me see that they are just things we can learn from. Also his tech set up is great! Dash cam footage to rewatch scenarios as well as an app to track progress and keep notes on lessons. I can’t recommend Moose Driving enough!

isabel martin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I cant recommend this driving school enough. Chris was amazing and helped me through all of my driving queries and reassured and motivated me, after a few unsuccessful driving tests, that i would keep learning from my mistakes which allowed me to pass my driving test in less than a year. Thank you!!

Rehana Chandy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can't thank Chris enough for all his support and encouragement over the last few months of learning to drive. His manner in the car is so relaxed and calm, which combined with his patience and understanding makes stressful situations so much less stressful. I 100% recommend Moose Driving, as Chris will teach you not just how to pass the test, but how to be a confident and safe driver in real life situations. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for the review and such kind words.

Learn 2 Pass or Learn 4 Life. 4 is twice as good as 2, and that's why we teach safe driving for life.

You have encountered some terrible weather and terrible driving conditions on your learning journey; your Multi-Lane Roads & Motorway work was tested to the max. I've pushed you to roads and situations to test you much further than the driving test and you now have methods to keep safe with these. Great work.

I'll miss our lessons, but I know you are safe for life now.

Thank you

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Moose Driving enough!! Chris is an amazing instructor with an immense amount of knowledge who constantly works hard to make each lesson tailored to the individual driver focusing on what needs working on but also making sure that progress is made!! Before Moose driving i would dread driving lessons but as soon as i started with Chris i felt at ease- he is calm, patient, kind and always there to offer advice. If you want to learn to drive you need to choose Moose driving!!!

Fantastic experience: Chris is one of a kind. He has turned what had been a negative experience/ feelings toward driving into a joy and exciting and rewarding experience. Such a professional service and Chris is a wonderful person/ instructor!!! Couldn’t recommend enough, if you want to pass and pass safely and confidently - Go with Moose Driving

Tara Thorpe 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Chris is an amazing instructor! His patience, calm and motivating approach has led me to pass my test first time, with only 1 minor After lots of stopping and starting lessons with various instructors, my confidence was at rock bottom and I felt that driving wasn't for me . I decided I would give driving one last chance and this is when I found Moose Driving. Chris has built my confidence up and I have gone from hating driving lessons to actually looking forward to them and will generally miss our lessons. Chris's has some amazing teaching techniques, (dash cam footage playback and tick-tick to name a few) these have all really helped with my dyslexic thinking and truly believe I wouldn't have passed if I hadn't found Moose driving school! Thank you for everything, I'll be forever grateful and will remember all the valuable life lessons you have taught me

Moose Driving

Thank you so much for your kind words.

You achieved this, you drove this amazing drive with just 1 fault (which I know will bug you!)

We wrote the recipe, you still needed to bake the cake. It was great teamwork with you and Chris. Chris explained on the first lesson how slowly he would had responsibility over to you, and lesson by lesson he did. That's why you are responsible for your driving test today.

Congratulations, keep in touch

Amy Waldron 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Moose Driving enough! Chris is an excellent teacher who is dedicated to helping develop the confidence and skills of all his students. When I first came to Moose, I had previous experience of learning to drive, but very little confidence. Chris helped me to feel safe and trusting in myself and my judgements on the road. I passed first time, and now feel very little anxiety when I’m on the road, something I never thought I would be able to do. Thank you Moose Driving!

Thank you for those kind words. You were a pleasure to teach and we really appreciate that you chose Chris & Moose Driving.

You are a really safe driver, now the DVSA have confirmed that too I hope that confidence will continue to climb with every mile you drive.

Laura Phillips 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: When I first read Moose’s reviews I thought to myself “surely he can’t be that good!” but after my first lesson with Chris I stood corrected as he is an absolutely amazing instructor - he’s patient, calm, understanding, reassuring and was willing to take lessons at my pace. He never gave up on me even when I felt like giving up on myself and I am confident in saying I wouldn’t have passed without having Chris by my side this last month - he has not only taught me how to drive but also valuable life lessons which I will never forget (“tick tick”). Chris has managed to turn me from a nervous wreck on the first lesson of my semi-intensive course to passing my test first time with only 2 faults. I am absolutely over the moon and would not be where I am today without Moose Driving - i never thought I would be saying this but I’m actually going to miss my lessons! I honestly cannot thank you enough for making my dream of finally being a confident driver come true.

Moose Driving

Thank you so much for the review, it's touching.

We had an amazing journey together and it's been an honour to have been able to get to know you over the last month.

I was never going to let you give up. Even that time you didn't want to drive, and I drove the start of the lesson; you were back in the drivers seat after a short time and back on track with large roundabouts.

You've proved to me again and again; you've proved to the DVSA and now you've proved to yourself that you are a safe driver.

Congratulations again and enjoy the freedom this offers you.

Fantastic experience: Please, please make Moose Driving your instructor of choice! Moose is empathetic, catering to your individual learning needs, and emphasises the importance of teaching you to become a good, safe driver - not just teaching to pass a test. Moose takes it at your pace and provides the correct level of constructive criticism. He is your number 1 supporter in and out of lessons and provides resources and experience to help with passing your Theory and Practical Test. I had a negative driving experience when I was old enough to start driving and it knocked my confidence. I wasn't sure if I’d ever be able to drive with my nerves and cautiousness. Moose built it back up years later and empowers you, whether you have driving anxiety, anxiety in general, or any other disability such as hearing/deafness or dyslexia. I have never felt more understood by a teacher and my respect for Moose couldn’t be higher. He has always made sure to tell me how safe he felt being in the car with me which is the highest compliment as a learner. Driving lessons are expensive these days but worth every penny, especially with Moose. Thank you Moose!

Moose Driving
Moose Driving

Thank you so much for the kind words. They mean an intense amount to Moose, and the man behind the Moose - Chris

You displayed a great knowledge and a great desire to learn. From day 1 it was teamwork; handing responsibility over to you are you gained confidence in the roads, junctions, other road users, situations and most importantly yourself.

I didn't go easy on you, even the day before your test I was still testing you.

So thank you for the kind words, but it has been an absolute pleasure.

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor! Chris gets the right balance between giving you critical feedback and celebrating your successes. He's very thorough when going over your driving but never makes you feel daft for making mistakes, just talks through what to do next time. And when you do something well, such as handle a tricky situation, he always says well done and goes over why he liked what you did so much. Appreciated that he could bring up dash cam footage to look back at what you did well and what might have gone "wrong". I passed first time today with only three faults thanks to Chris!

Lucy Would 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After stopping and starting lessons and a couple of failed tests over the years, I found Chris and joined the waiting list to start learning with him. A short time later I was having my first lesson and immediately felt at ease, by nature I am a nervous driver. Around 4 months later I passed my first test with Moose. I can’t recommend Chris enough. If you are thinking of starting automatic lessons don’t hesitate to contact Chris at Moose, you won’t regret it!

Thank you for the review, those kind words.

You are a great driver, but needed some help on the planning the road ahead and keeping the nerves in check.

You worked hard, focused on the goal and never gave up. Very proud of your drive, both on the test and on lessons.

It's been a pleasure.

Adele Marie Ball 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Chris is by far the best driving instructor with his calm and sensitive approach. He is very thorough and his techniques ensure you are a safe driver for life, not just for the test. He is extremely good at his job and you can tell he genuinely cares about his students. Today I passed with zero faults and it’s all down to Moose Driving! Thank you again Chris, I will miss our chats!

So kind of you to say. Calmness is built in to me, my heart rate never went over 75 when I was sat in the back seat enjoying your test.

The examiner even said that they were "So please, it was such a pleasent and safe drive".

Ryan N 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today with 0 minor faults and that is only because of Chris. He is the best driving instructor because he is very patient and is very clear at explaining everything. I am not scared to make mistakes because Chris always gives clear and constructive feedback on how to improve. Because of him I feel confident to drive. Thank you Chris

Fantastic experience: I had a refresher driving lesson with Chris as it had been a little while since since I had last driven and had anxiety around getting back behind the wheel. Chris was massively helpful, helping me with every area I was anxious about (even when I threw one in at the last minute), and was able to describe exactly how I was feeling when I couldn’t put it into words. I would highly recommend Moose to anyone who is anxious about learning to drive and is looking for an instructor who will completely understand how they are feeling. Thank you so much Chris!

Fantastic experience: I passed my first driving test yesterday, which I can’t believe it will happen. Chris gave me a huge support and comfort in every lesson and I really enjoy it. Now I already miss the day he seat next to me. I’m so glad to overcome my anxiety and nervous during my test. Stay calm and remind yourself YOU CAN DO IT! Also have another person who believing you is Chris. He never give up on me and keep trusting me.If Chris is not my instructor I won’t be able to pass the test and keep driving confident. I feel grateful for having Chris be my instructor and thank you so much Chris. ♡

Thank you so much for the review. It was a pleasure having you as a student.

You are right, I will never give up and will always be a cheerleader for you when there is safe driving. And you are a very safe driver; so glad you now realise it.

Keep in touch.

Edward Hammond 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Every time I had a lesson with Chris I was made to feel at ease, which helped instill a growing and lasting confidence in my own driving abilities - a confidence which I was able to demonstrate on the day of the test leading to me passing first time. Chris continually embeds a sense of empathy and deep understanding of his students' needs, motivations and learning pace in order to get them to where they want to be, not just during their driving lessons but in many situations in life which may present difficulty and need to be navigated. This attitude is central to his ethos, and that's evident from the first lesson you have with him. It's been an absolute pleasure to have him as my driving instructor.

Moose Driving
Moose Driving

Thank you so much for the kind comments. I do indeed change my style and messages to each student based on their needs and wants.

I try to make sure that the techniques are applicable through driving and in life in general and am so glad that you have found this element of the teaching and learning useful.

You were a pleasure to teach, always wanting to understand the "why" and repeat junctions, roads and situations to methodically work through the pieces of the driving before putting them all together.

You've achieved a great deal, I'm so proud of you. Even more will come in the future, safe driving.

Cheyenna In 't Groen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Chris has made me be able to become a confident driver in a very welcoming and safe environment. Being a very anxious, self-consious driver he listened to my needs, wants and worries and made them dissipate every lesson we had. He was very accommodating so every lesson was exactly tailored to my needs and strengths to ensure I could pass with confidence. Not only this, but he actively listened to my worries , gave me coping mechanisms not only for driving but also for other difficulties in life and Chris always made sure I went home with positive thoughts about my driving and the belief that I was capable of so much more than I initially thought. I honestly cannot recommend Moose driving enough, Chris is such a genuine, amazing human being who truly listens; he puts his all into his students and I am so thankful to have been one of his students!

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test through Moose driving (which I still find surreal!!!) and honestly Chris is absolutely amazing!! I went through 2 different instructors before contacting Moose driving for lessons and was a really anxious driver. Chris was so patient with me and not only made me a much more confident driver but he also really helped me with my self belief. I 1000% recommend Moose Driving, Chris invests so much time in his students and from my previous experiences not many instructors out there care about their students the way Chris does.

Fantastic experience: Sometime in life you meet somebody who is an exceptional human being ! In my 80 years on this planet I can truly count on one hand , those people I’ve met. Chris from Moose Driving is one of those people ! He took my Chinese wife and with patience and professional understanding turned her into a very proficient driver who passed her test with zero points lost. I was amazed at how her confidence grew as the lessons went on . All this in English, which obviously is not her “mother tongue “ Chris your a star !!!

Moose Driving
Moose Driving

Those are such wonderful words; thank you both for your kindness. Comments like these help me to remind myself of the value I have in life.

Every driver is a different person, everyone is treated as an individual in the teaching methods used so driving makes sense to them.

As someone who is hard of hearing, I read faces. Not just lips for the words but all of the face and breathing for feedback on how a student feels and what they are thinking. This works in any language and enables me to understand the student before words are spoken.

As someone who finds speaking another language an impossible task, it continues to amaze me that many of my students are not only learning this difficult skill, but in a second language.

I wish both of you the best in your futures; and so glad I could be part of your lives.

Thank you for the kind words and so glad I could help. Finding the way to calm and conquer the nerves was key,

Understanding the road and the dangers, knowing what is around use so there are no surprises and planning ahead were all key factors in you gaining that confidence.

Happy times ahead, easier work travel and flexibility.

Lyzette Erbon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Chris is definitely the best driving instructor you will ever have. He is very patient, explains everything well, he doesn’t just teach you on how and what to do, he shows it to you as well. He will teach you not to focus on the negatives and will always tell you to think of all the positives that you’ve done, giving you confidence again. Unlike my 2 previous instructors, I am not afraid to make a mistake with Chris, he makes me feel comfortable and made my learning easy. He is concern not just on your driving but also on your well being. I am forever grateful and thankful that I’ve found and met Chris. I will recommend you to all my friends and colleagues! Thank you so much

Thank you for those kind words. You have been a pleasure to teach and I will miss you.

When you came to me; you hadn't had a positive experience of Driving Instructors, I'm sorry that happened to you. Noone deserves to be treated as you described.

You have been a great driver, the key to your success is the confidence which has been growing and growing.

Confidence to know that whatever happens, you can keep it safe. I hope my words and positivity stay with you for many years of happy and safe driving.

Thanks so much for the feedback. Having someone to believe in you, when sometimes others don't was a key to unlock the confidence in yourself.

You did the hard work, you practiced, you overcame problems, negativity and doubt.

Fantastic experience: Chris has made my learner driver experience so much easier and more enjoyable than I've had in the past. The skills and confidence that I have gained with Chris allowed me to believe that I could pass my driving test....and I did! Chris adapts his lessons to fit every learners individual need and ability, including emotional issues such as anxiety and nervousness. I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough!

Thank you so much for the review. After trying over many years and previous instructors; I'm so glad you didn't give up.

Sometimes a chat to understand how you feel is just as important as being in the car to see how you drive.

You've been a pleasure to teach and it was an emotional pass

Fantastic experience: My experience as a learner with Chris has been absolutely amazing. Ever since my first lesson I have felt very comfortable, safe and progressively more confident in my driving ability, and I can’t thank him enough for all the advice and support he’s given me. Looking forward to taking to the roads without the L-plates and once again, thank you Chris.

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend Moose Driving School and Chris as an Instructor. Chris has been amazing in helping me with my anxiety and has coached me through every step to help me become a confident driver! He has been flexible with schedules helping me to get regular lessons around my working life and school runs. He has been a pleasure to know and I wouldn't have been as confident in passing my test if it were not for Chris's confidence in me.

Thank you so much for the review, it means so much to me. I treat every student as an individual..because you all are.

Your awareness and planning on the road were excellent, I have no doubt that your Motorcycle licence isn't far away next.

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience learning to drive with Chris at Moose Driving. Chris had the utmost confidence with me from my very first lesson and never doubted my ability to pass my test even at times when I did. Chris tailored each lesson for me as an individual and struck the right balance of including aspects he knew I needed to practise and allowing the lesson to unfold naturally. I would highly recommend Moose Driving to anyone who might be feeling anxious about learning to drive. If I can do it, so can you!

Fantastic experience: A real pleasure to have had the chance to complete my driving journey with Chris Allsopp at Moose Driving. A very patient and knowledgeable enthusiastic tutor/instructor who knows his trade and the belief and enthusiasm he shares with his students is excellent. All in all a real 5* experience with really detailed and planned lessons tailored individually to needs of each student. Chris offers everything that any nervous or confident learner could wish for, he was as delighted as I was when I passed. Highly recommend Mr Chris Allsopp and Moose Driving.

...and what a journey. It was an honour to be the person who could fulfil that dream which had been paused since 1980 - to pass your test.

Started with a "give it a go" attitude which advanced to "I might be able to do this" and finished with a quality pass two days before Christmas.

Fantastic experience: Chris is a great instructor. I always feel supported whilst driving and able to take my time when learning something new. Chris offers great support during lessons but also between lessons with his Facebook group where you can always learn something new. I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone wanting to learn how to drive automatic!

Aww, thanks. Learning to drive isn't just 1 lesson a week, it needs to be part of life which is why I created Moose Driving Synergy; a whole collection of resources to help you learn. A private Facebook Group, YouTube, Theory Test software and even our own app for lesson progress.

And the mental support and encouragement is something that applies throughout. I'm always honest, will not hide the negatives, but help to highlight the positives too.
