LookAfterLearners: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first try thanks to Rick from Look After Learners! Learned in a manual car around Luton, and honestly, Rick's patience and transparency made all the difference. What I appreciated most was how upfront he is — no sugarcoating, just clear, honest feedback every step of the way. I tend to overthink things a lot, and Rick always called me out on it (some instructors might hold back, but he kept it real, which I actually respected). If you’re looking for someone who’s patient, straightforward, and knows how to build your confidence behind the wheel, I’d definitely recommend Rick at Look After Learners!
Thank you Yug i really appriciate your comments, you always listened to what i had to say, and you learned quickly too ........ well done and i hope you enjoy driving in the future
Fantastic experience: Rick has been a fantastic and extremely patient driving instructor. He is very thorough with what he teaches and is well acquainted with the driving test process. Thanks to his calm and understanding attitude to teaching, I was able to pass my practical test on my first attempt. On top of this, his pricing is incredibly competitive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive in Luton!
Thank you Suleman, it is always a pleasure to see someone pass first time, and with only 3 driving faults too ........ well done you, and enjoy driving
Fantastic experience: Rick is an excellent teacher for anyone that wishes to learn how to drive. Many thanks for helping me pass my test.
Thanks for the review Danny, you were always polite and punctual on our lessons .... you deserve your pass ........ i wish you all the best for the future
Fantastic experience: Rick was so friendly, calm and helpful throughout my lessons, leading to my pass with zero faults! I’m so happy with how I progressed and will recommend Rick to anyone looking to learn - thank you!
Zero faults is a perfect test Katie, not many learners can say that they've done that ............. absolutely brilliant ...... well done you
Fantastic experience: Rasheed - Rick a is a great instructor I would highly recommend, patient and a overall great teacher. 10/10
Thanks Rasheed you made the driving test look easy .......... happy driving mate
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first attempt last week and couldn’t have done it without Rick! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor as his support and high standards are unmatched. I always felt comfortable and reassured throughout my lessons and his consistency and dedication helped build up my confidence in the car so quickly. Rick is proficient in what he does, and ensures to work on any areas of weakness you may have. I have been very lucky to have him as my instructor and would not be as confident as I am now without him! Thanks again Rick!
Thank you Kayleigh, you deserved your first time pass, you googled the Letchworth test routes and then practised them in your own car, you even googled the Letchworth examiners ....... Well done you ..... all the best for the future
Fantastic experience: Rick was the best, most patient instructor. I had approximately 12 lessons and an early test came up in Leicester. Never been to Leicester, took the test and passed 1st time with only 2 minors and this is down to Ricks brilliant instruction. Big thanks to him.
Well done Jack, passing your test in a City that you've never driven is not easy, well done you .......... safe driving my friend
Fantastic experience: The instructor I was with, Rick, was very patient with me through all 3 tries of the driving exam I did with him. He showed me how to do everything and pointed out any errors in my driving in a nice fashion. He always believed in me, even when I failed my driving exams and now it has finally paid off. He is a fantastic instructor who I am very happy was the one to teach me how to drive and who I thank for all the time and effort he put in to teaching me.
Thank you Archie, this goes to prove that all good drivers don't pass first time, and you 'are' a good driver .......... well done I'm very pleased for you, stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school help me pass first time
Thanks Harry, i wish you all the best for the future ..... Rick
Fantastic experience: Look after learners is a brilliant learner driving company from day one right up to after your test. I had Rick as an instructor. His lessons were clear and easy to remember. He messaged the day before your lessons to remind you of your lesson, he has a range of different lessons ranging from 1 hour to 2 and a half hours as well as much more. Rick you have helped me a lot and anyone would be lucky to have you as an instructor.
Many thanks Zak, i enjoyed teaching you and passing your driving test first time with only 2 faults is incredibly good, all the best for the future
Negative experience: Do not recommend!! Its easy to get your clients/students to right a good review when they pass a test, but this review is for those just starting out, and has never been in the drivers seat, like my daughter. Also, I have "Mutual friends" with this guy, and they never put their kids through his driving school, and recommended someone who is a far better human being and treats his new drivers with kindness and compassion which is not the experience my daughter had. Reasons Mum gives review: - Having to console my daughter after the awful experience she had with this man - Mum is the one paying for the lesson - Daughter is on the spectrum, and this man gave no thought whatsoever to the way he treated her, despite knowing this information in advance. Not even 2 hours of driving, and he had my daughter start on a main road. She was not ready, she was so nervous, but he did it anyway, then he told her he was speechless and confused because she just forgot everything he said. Learner driver, Rick. The clue is in the name LEARNER. If everyone could drive, we wouldnt need instructors to teach them. Rick then upset her while she was in the drivers seat, then told her he would drive her home early (and our ring doorbell confirms she did come home early), all because she was clearly upset (because of him). He drove in silence, no educational moments, no suggestions, no information for her and when she said goodbye to him, he just drove off saying nothing. My daughter said she was humiliated and embarrassed. Before booking lessons, I informed him she was on the spectrum, so I feel like he took this moment to use and abuse a vulnerable person, knowing she would not confront him. Rick - she is a learner driver. You have look after learners on the side of your car, and you did everything but look after her. As you refuse to answer my calls and didn't return a text message, you can take this as confirmation not to bother showing up next week.
I must admit that i'm totally gobsmacked with my first ever bad review in over 20 years, and its not even from the learner its from her mum ... the learner herself is a very pleasant and polite young lady, the only thing that went wrong was that she had a bad day, if i got negative feedback from everyone mother who's daugter had a bad day i wouldnt be a driving instructor anymore ...... there was no need for this what so ever but hey there's always one ........ i wish the young lady in question all the best for the future
Fantastic experience: I started to learn to drive with Rick last year and I passed first time the other day. Rick made sure that I was confident and always went over anything and practised on anything I wasn't happy with. I highly recommend lookafterlearners.
Thank you Scarlett, you're a great driver and deserved your first time pass, all the best for the future

It was a pleasure Tyler ......
Fantastic experience: Rick is a very good instructor, very professional and patient. He taught me how to drive properly, always explained to me where I went wrong, explained and showed me how to fix any mistakes which I was making. I had a great journey with Rick and when I took my test I was 100% fully confident and had faith with everything I was taught. I passed my test with only 2 minors. I would recommend anyone to do their lessons with Rick, he’s easy going and a great person.
Many thanks for the great review Jahid, you never left me down once, i appreciate that ... i wish you all the best for the future
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today with Rick. I have enjoyed the lessons with him and he has made me feel very comfortable. He made sure I was confident in my driving before going for the test. He would always turn up on time and ask what areas I am feeling less confident in to practice. Overall really friendly and great driving instructor. If you want to pass your test I definitely recommend Rick!
