Fantastic experience: Matt is an outstanding driving instructor. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test on my first attempt with only 3 minor faults. His experience really shows - he spots mistakes quickly and helps you correct them with patience and clarity. He’s also friendly, easy to talk to, and has a great sense of humour, which makes learning to drive a lot less stressful. Matt was also flexible with scheduling lessons, which made things much easier. I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive!

Fantastic experience: Matt is an absolutely fantastic instructor with great knowledge. His teaching style was amazing for me. He is very patient and full of hints and tips for control of the car during maneuvers. Matt is also very friendly guy with a great sense of humour. Makes you feel really comfortable and relaxed. Also he is truly an honest instructor. Worked with me to know exactly how much training I would need to pass my test with minimal amount of lessons. I passed my test first time with 1 minor fault thanks to him. Can't recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: What an incredible journey it has been! I can't express my gratitude enough to Matt for his unwavering patience, professionalism, vast knowledge, and exceptional attentiveness, not to mention his endless sense of humor! Matt had an incredible knack for understanding my learning style, and he knew exactly how to address my nervousness and tendency to overthink. Every lesson with him was not only enjoyable and relaxed but also showcased my progress clearly. Matt had a remarkable ability to guide me further and always encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. There were moments when my hesitation got the best of me, but Matt had a perfect approach to tackle it, making me feel more courageous. I wholeheartedly endorse Matt and can't imagine passing my driving test with anyone else. Besides being a fantastic instructor, he also shared fantastic movie and series recommendations, making our lessons feel like catching up with an old friend. This added a touch of enjoyment to each lesson. I must admit I'll miss our lessons, but I'm sure Matt is thrilled to finally have some peace and quiet, haha! Thank you once again for helping me hit the road safely and become a confident driver. I can't recommend Matt enough; he truly has been a life-changing instructor!

Fantastic experience: Having failed my test previously multiple times with another instructor 3 years ago, Matt took me on a semi-intensive course taking me from nervous to test ready within 2 weeks. Matt used humour to ease nerves and was willing to answer my silly questions. He helped me understand what I was doing making me able to make decisions at difficult roundabouts and junctions. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an instructor that not only prepares you for the test but to be a safe driver beyond passing.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Matt. He really helped and supported me. I was a nervous driver but Matt gave me the confidence to pass my test. During the lesson he always gives feedback on every positive point or mistake I made to help me improve. He always explains very well and makes sure I understand (English is not my first language). Thank you Matt.

Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time with 4 minors last week and was thrilled with the result, having had lessons with Matt for a year. I fully recommend you go with Matt as your instructor, especially if you've the willingness to learn and desire to get to that pass level ability. The man deserves an MBE for his patience with me I hate to give him the satisfaction - but he is a funny guy and that is invaluable in helping take the edge off how stressful some of these driving lessons can be on road. Moreover it adds to the enjoyment of his lessons ontop of the progress you'll inevitably make under his guidance. He's always attentive, vigilant of errors you need to watch out for and knowledgeable. Moreover he knows when you're ready to progress onto the next step in your driving lessons, and is encouraging in doing so. Worth every penny paying for his instructing services and thanks mate for helping me get on the road

Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Matt after starting from a complete beginner! I was quite a nervous driver to begin with and Matt helped me to build up my confidence and knowledge of driving to the point where I really enjoyed driving. Lessons were always fun, and I came out knowing I had made good progress and improved my driving. His sense of humour really helps to reduce your stress when you make mistakes, and he often walks you through common driving mistakes to help you work through them. Matt goes above and beyond to ensure you feel safe and ready to pass the driving test, I could not recommend anyone more!

Kevin Coleman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Matt highly enough. My daughter passed her test just before Christmas it was her first attempt and she only had 3 minors, this was due to Matts attention to detail and patience. Matt is easy to communicate with and was flexible when my daughters college timetable kept changing. She always felt comfortable with Matt and said he was a funny chap. I will definitely be using him again when my youngest turns 17.

Fantastic experience: Can't believe I've passed my driving test on my first attempt. Couldn't be happier having Matt as my driving instructor. He is attentive, supportive and explains commonly seen driving faults clearly to avoid learners from repeating them. I particularly find the mock tests very useful, can't recommend him enough. One important tip is listen to his advice and follow his guidance as they are very crucial to help you pass the test. Ps he has a great sense of humour as well. :)

Robert Hoccom 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I was younger I started lessons and unfortunately was involved in a collision early on in lessons with another instructor which made me incredibly nervous at the prospect of trying again. Matt was very patient and helped build my confidence up again . He is extremely professional , gives great guidance and made learning to drive again a fun experience whilst being able to teach the skills needed to drive on my own . I passed my test first time and truly believe this would have been tough to do without Matt teaching me. He is a great instructor and a great friend .

Fantastic experience: 5 stars for Matt!! After a bad experience with a previous instructor, Matt really helped put my nerves at ease and worked through everything that was worrying me. His fun personality is so easy to learn from and he always kept calm - even when I did pull out in front of someone on a roundabout! He built my confidence and skills that enabled me to pass my test first time with only 2 minors all within 4 months. I highly recommend Matt, I couldn’t have done it without him.

Fantastic experience: I started my lessons with Matt in July and passed my test in September, never imagined that happening in the space of 3 months as I wasn't the most confident driver! Teaches you what you need to know, puts you at ease and caters lessons towards you and what you want to learn. 5*!!!
