Adrian Barnes - Approved Driving Instructor

Fantastic experience: 10/10 instructor, helped me to pass first time. I felt like i progressed a lot in a short amount of time and everything was explained in such a clear way. Couldn’t recommend more, I felt so safe and I used to consider myself an anxious driver.

Fantastic experience: Adrian is experienced, knowledgeable and has a great manner. He has helped me greatly with my driving anxiety. Very highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I restarted my driving journey this year and am so pleased to have found Adrian as my driving instructor. Adrian is a fantastic teacher, incredibly patient, professional, friendly, and he helped me to gain confidence on the roads and in myself! Adrian helped not only to learn the skills needed to pass the test (first time with only 3 minors!) but to make me a better driver looking beyond the test to the future. The mantra's that Adrian instilled in my driving will stay with me forever. I couldn't recommend Adrian more highly, thank you Adrian!!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to take the time to comment on the helpfulness of this company! As a mum looking for driving lessons completely oblivious of waiting lists and demand, Adrian took the time not only to reply but also provide valuable advice that will assist in preparing my son for his lessons and test in advance of finding an instructor! I’m gutted you had no availability, as it is clearly obvious you care for your pupils and family’s who are navigating the journey of this important milestone. For those parents out there who are more prepared - 100% signing up to lessons with Adrian. Thank you again for all your support !

Fantastic experience: I started my driving journey again with Adrian and have managed to pass with only 1 minor fault. Adrian is a reliable and fair instructor who pushes you to challenge yourself and overcome any fears, doubts and confidence issues you may be facing. Adrian worked extremely hard to accommodate moving my test date several times to ensure my test was only taken when I became test ready. Adrian is extremely knowledgeable and any question I had relating to the theory of driving was well explained. I now feel confident and safe to continue my driving journey. His vehicle is nice to drive and feels very smooth great drive for new learners. Overall I would highly recommend Adrian.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Driving Instructor - Adrian is the Best! I couldn't be happier with the outstanding driving instruction I received from Adrian. Thanks to his expertise and friendly demeanour, I passed my driving test on the first try! Adrian's wealth of experience was evident from day one. His calm and patient approach helped me build confidence behind the wheel, eliminating any anxieties I had about driving. Adrian has a unique ability to create a comfortable learning environment, making every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. One of the things I appreciate most about Adrian is his unwavering commitment to safety. Throughout our lessons, he instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility on the road, ensuring that I not only passed the test but also developed excellent driving habits for the future. I always felt secure under his guidance, knowing that he was there to support and guide me through every step of the learning process. What sets Adrian apart is not just his professionalism but also his sense of humor. Learning to drive can be a nerve-wracking experience, but Adrian's lighthearted and friendly approach and 80's music made each lesson enjoyable. His humour not only put me at ease but also created a positive and encouraging atmosphere, which made the learning process even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Adrian to anyone seeking a driving instructor who not only imparts valuable skills but also ensures a positive and enjoyable learning experience. With Adrian, you're not just learning to drive; you're gaining a mentor who genuinely cares about your success on the road.

Fantastic experience: I've recently passed my test after learning to drive with Adrian. Throughout the experience Adrian has been superb and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive and pass the test. Adrian's approach is calm, clear and methodical. Adrian is patient with learners and always finds the best way to help them overcome their anxiety on lessons. Adrian's mock tests are also immensely helpful in the weeks before taking the actual test. Adrian is a great instructor and I'm sure he will continue to help other learners get the results they want from lessons. Thanks once again Adrian!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had a great experience learning with Adrian. She was recently diagnosed as autistic and is also awaiting assessments for ADHD, so we were concerned about how well she would cope. We thought it might be hard to find an instructor that can be patient with her, but we got it right on the first attempt. Adrian has been dedicated to getting her through her learning experience and her test. She passed last week with just 2 minors. Not only has he taught her how to drive a car, but I feel he has also prepared her well for the realities of life on the road so it wasn't a complete shock to the system when she gained the freedom to be out in her own car by herself. She also had a motorway lesson with him after she passed. My daughter was worried that driving might be out of her reach, and I worried about how she would deal with two hour lessons. But Adrian was so good with her. It just goes to show that autism doesn't need to be a barrier when it comes to driving. I will definitely look at coming back for lessons when my youngest is 17. Thank you Adrian for everything.

Fantastic experience: Great guy, funny too, can be annoying sometimes tho if he finds out your interests but other then that he's great 10/10 do recommend. He don't bite.. Mostly.

Fantastic experience: Adrian not only taught me how to drive for the test, but taught me skills that i will now use in my daily driving forever. Top guy and an even better driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: I had a refresher driving lesson with Adrian after having not driven a manual car for a number of years and was in major need of getting my confidence back and getting back into good habits. Without a doubt Adrian was the calmest, friendliest and clear driving instructor I could have ever asked for. No question was a stupid question and everything was explained incredibly clearly. It’s the first driving lesson I’ve ever enjoyed and I would highly recommend learning or having a refresher course with Adrian. He’s highly approachable and let me tailor the session to what I felt I needed to focus on. Thanks so much Adrian!
