DG Driver Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I remember my first lesson with Deej, I was shaking with anxiety about driving again but Deej is an amazing instructor within 20 minutes of driving around my anxiety was at ease, he’s very knowledgeable and he teaches you to really drive rather than just pass the test for example with parking he teaches you methods to park any car rather than just his car to prepare you for real world driving once you’ve passed your test, he’s kind and professional and very punctual to and on the lessons and makes you feel really calm about driving, you can really learn at your own pace with him. In every lesson with Deej I felt challenged to make more progress, and he keeps amazing notes so that you both know where you are with your driving progress. I’m happy to say that with Deej’s expert instruction I was able to pass my driving test with only 3 minor faults at York DTC I can do nothing but recommend to take Deej as your driving instructor, he is definitely worth the wait.
Wow! What a glowing review, thank you so much and we'll done with your pass this morning - sure, I taught you but you had to actually do it on the day, which you totally did.
Fantastic experience: Deej is a great driving instructor with lots of patience and clear instructions to help you drive safely and confidently. He is also a lovely guy to have as an instructor. Cheers Deej!
And you were a lovely guy to teach. Thanks, Charlie Farley.
Fantastic experience: Deej didn’t just teach me how to pass the test, he taught me how to drive properly. Would completely recommend Deej to anyone who wants a friendly professional experience, and to drive for the better.
Thanks Sam, and once you settled down today, you DID drive properly AND pass your test. Nicely done.
Fantastic experience: Deej has been an excellent driving instructor and has taught me how to become a good and safe driver! From starting as quite a nervous driver he immediately put me at ease and gave me the confidence in a car that I never thought I could have. His help and patience to get me to the point of passing my test has been invaluable, so thank you Deej!! :)
Bless you Georgia, thanks for the lovely review. It's been a pleasure to work with you and watch your confidence (and your driving skill) grow.
Fantastic experience: My name is Hugh and I’ve been having driving lesson for a long time now. He is the best driving instructor ever. Lovely to talk to and easy to understand. He knows the best ways and easiest way to remember how to drive. Especially in manoeuvres. I passed first time and that should say a lot for Deij teaching. Thank you Deij you’re the best.
Thanks so much Hugh, and congratulations on your test result. As the examiner mentioned afterwards, it was a lovely drive - only two driving faults. Well done, matey.
Fantastic experience: Deej has taught be to drive since February and I passed recently. I think he is a good instructor because he is honest and genuine with general interest to make you a good driver not just pass a test.
Thanks Aleks, and we'll done with your pass on the first attempt!
Fantastic experience: Deej has been an exemplary instructor and help in learning to drive. He has extensive knowledge in teaching and is able to brilliantly aid you in acclimatising to the mindset of a safe driver as well as the skills and confidence required to complete the set. I could not recommend him more, it has been a pleasure and I will miss the banter. Cheers!
Thanks for such a glowing review Mr. Cats. I too will miss the banter.
Fantastic experience: Deej was a phenomenal driving instructor! I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. It had been ten years since I last had driving lessons and he made driving incredibly fun and easy going. His level of knowledge is fantastic and I was never left wondering or uncertain about what to do in a particular situation. Deej will tell it it you straight whether you are doing a good job or not and I really appreciated that. I know that when I go out by myself I'll be able to make the correct decisions at all times. Deej is also incredibly patient, empathetic and most importantly listens carefully when I had doubts, questions or issues. The car is lovely to drive too. Don't learnt o.drivr with anyone else. Kris
Wow! What a glowing review! Thanks so much Dr. Kris, greatly appreciated.
See you soon for your motorway orientation.
Fantastic experience: Deej is such a fantastic driving instructor. Not only is he informative and a great teacher, but a really nice person who is so easy to get along with. I managed to pass my test first time with 0 driving faults today because of his excellent teaching. I would recommend his services to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive, as he doesn’t just teach you how to pass the test but also how to become a complete driver while being safe and competent on the roads.
Thanks so much for the review Alex, you've been a pleasure to teach and congratulations once again on your zero fault pass.
Fantastic experience: Great driving instructor, passed first time after learning with him. He taught me how to drive using skills and techniques which he has developed over a long time, especially helping me with roundabouts and the manoeuvres (which I had struggled with in the past). Also was very friendly and communicative. Would highly recommend if you want to learn to drive.
Thanks Otis. Once I'd shown you how to use those techniques you took them on board and absolutely nailed it!
Fantastic experience: I had a really great experience learning to drive with Deej - I'm not a natural driver but he was always very patient and clear, and very perceptive to really see and address what I needed to improve on. An absolute lifesaver and really helped calm my anxieties about driving- don't know if I'd still be behind the wheel after passing if not for his lessons. Cheers!
Cheers yourself, Zak. And well done.
Fantastic experience: Really welcoming and makes learning really easy
Thanks B-Dog. I thoroughly enjoyed helping you learn :-)
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Deej as a driving instructor. He is very patient if mistakes are made and helpful at all times in fixing them. I have felt nothing but safe learning to drive (which is known to be quite nerve racking at times). Deej always makes the lessons enjoyable and is a brilliant teacher. His encouraging teaching manner has helped me become confident behind the wheel.
Thanks Grace, I appreciate that. And that was a lovely drive you did your test this morning
Fantastic experience: First time pass. Thankyou!
You're welcome, Katie.
It was you that passed, I just taught you how.
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Deej! From the outset Deej was calm, patient, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. He was also very punctual and reliable throughout, and the blogs on his website were also a great way of consolidating what I'd learned. Thanks Deej!
Thanks for the review Ollie, and well done passing on your first attempt!
Fantastic experience: I had the best possible experience with Deej as my driving instructor! I loved that the lessons were 2 hours as it gave me time to perfect the skills I’d learned in the lesson, he was great at teaching in a way that made it easy to pickup, and if I was finding a particular skill hard to remember and get my head around he taught it in a way that was right for me. He always asked if there was anything I wanted to practice or go over and made me feel comfortable to make mistakes and learn from them. I passed first time and it was all down to Deej! Plus he’s very friendly and chatty so it made learning a less daunting experience. Couldn’t recommend more!
Passing first time wasn't all down to me Jess, I showed you how but it was you that had to do it on the day. Congratulations and thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: Deej is very patient and good at teaching. His explanation has always been very clear and to the exact point. Strongly recommending!
Thanks for the recommendation Joanna. And you were good at learning!
Fantastic experience: Considering I was terrified of learning to drive, Andrew turned out to be the perfect instructor! With his patience, and confidence in my abilities, he helped me to believe in myself. I would definitely recommend him to any person who is nervous to start learning to drive!
Thanks Roxy. It was lovely to see you get over those nerves and watch your confidence grow.
Fantastic experience: Deej is a truly excellent instructor. He aims to leave his students confident in their driving, in addition to providing them with all the skills required to pass their test. I strongly recommend learning with him. He is very patient and honestly lovely. He is dedicated to making sure you are prepared for all situations.
Thanks so much, Scarlett. And congratulations to you, passing with just one driving fault!
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely guy and really helped improve my driving skill which enable me to pass first time with only 1 fault! Would defo recommend to a friend :)
One fault is very impressive, Sadie - well done!
And many thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable instructor. Lessons were enjoyable and very well planned to help progression towards both the driving test and skills needed after passing.
Thanks for the review, Sam. You did very well on your test with only two driver faults. It was a pleasure to work with you.
Fantastic experience: Deej is everything you could want in a driving instructor and more. As a literal instructor's instructor his knowledge and expertise is top notch, and the way he structures lessons is incredibly well thought out to give you all the practice you need while still being flexible. One lesson, just since it had flooded, he announced we were going to do "flood training", learning how to assess and safely deal with flooded roads. Not on the test, but an invaluable skill for driving in the real world. On top of all of this, he's simply a lovely bloke.
Bless you Joe, thanks for the lovely review. It took two of us though - you put some serious effort in yourself to get your driving to the high standard you've achieved.
Fantastic experience: Deej is a great Instructor, very kind and patient. Doesn't just teach you how to drive he tells you all the ins and outs to drive safely and confidently. Highly recommended, Passed first time.
Thanks Liam. Cue the road trip!
Fantastic experience: Not just an incredible driving instructor, but also a fantastic person as well. Deej is patient, encouraging and quite possibly the most knowledgeable person when it comes to driving practices. He doesn’t teach you to pass a test, he teaches you how to drive and that experience has been invaluable. My greatest thanks to you Deej!
Bless you Kane, thank you. So glad I was able to give value.
Fantastic experience: After a bad experience with another instructor and never wanting to drive again, I took the plunge and booked with Deej, it was the best decision I've made in a long time. He is very calm, professional and made lessons fun. As an older learner I was very nervous and lacked the confidence of a younger person but after a few lessons and gentle pushing of my comfort boundaries I started to enjoy driving. Deej not only teaches you too pass a test but also teaches you to actually drive safely and confidently. I would highly recommend him to others
Thanks Michelle. It certainly took some prodding to get you out of the car park but you made up for it and it was a pleasure working with you. I was so proud when you beat your nerves and passed first time.
Fantastic experience: Deej is friendly and always upbeat. I passed the first time :)
Thanks Jade. You were friendly too!
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, patient and good-humoured. Has lots of good techniques for helping you understand what you need to learn to become a safe and confident driver.
Thanks Paul. You certainly became a safe and competent driver yourself.
Fantastic experience: After years of learning to drive with very bad instructors, learning with Deej was a relief and a joy! The best instructor! Very clear methodology of teaching - very professional, calm and friendly! I am now a good driver and its all down to Deej!
Aww, thanks, Shelly. But you deserve credit too - I only showed you how.
Fantastic experience: I had tried out a couple of driving instructors before contacting Deej on the advice of a friend, and it ended up being a great decision. He was always really friendly and relaxed which made lessons fun, but also great at focusing in on areas that needed improving and helping you pinpoint exactly how to do it. Made the whole experience as stress-free as possible. I really couldn't recommend him enough for any new learner.
Thanks Finn. Stress-free is definitely the way forward
Fantastic experience: Deej’s driving lessons have given me the confidence and knowledge to become a skilled and safe driver. He has a great way, often humorous, way to explain the technical side of driving. He helped me learn and understand how to approach and navigate challenging roundabouts and junctions. I was a nervous learner but I was able to pass my driving test first time. I now enjoy driving and my new found freedom!
Glad you're enjoying your new freedom, Henry. Thanks for the review.
Fantastic experience: Deej is an excellent driving instructor, he is friendly, patient and made me feel very comfortable. Deej is thorough with his teaching, explains things very well and is all around great.
Thanks Sophie, I thoroughly enjoyed teaching you (and Conrad)
