LDC Automatic Driving School - Andrew De Francisci

Negative experience: If there is a zero star, I’d drop it. He would eliminate your self-confidence and make you feel worthless, I have now given up on driving, all thanks to his hurtful and demeaning words

Fantastic experience: Andrew is a brilliant, patient instructor. I’ve had other instructors in the past and came to Andrew as I found it difficult to get over my driving nerves - he has been patient and understanding throughout and as a result of his tuition I’ve passed my test first time today! Would recommend.

Negative experience: I don't delight in leaving negative reviews but I felt compelled to write one after my third (and final) lesson with Andrew. On his website he describes himself as caring, friendly and patient. I found him to be quite the opposite. This rude and impatient man rolled his eyes at me, and made it very apparent he was frustrated, when I was struggling with parking manoeuvres. He also made sarky comments like 'I have faith you will get it one day' (this wasn't said in an encouraging manner). I think this is unacceptable behaviour when you are teaching someone a new skill. A little bit of patience and understanding goes a long way. My last lesson left me feeling deflated and demoralised. Unless you want to be made to feel stupid or on edge, l do not recommend Andrew for driving lessons.

Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Andrew after just a few lessons. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional, he made me feel comfortable from the start. Would highly recommend to others wanting to learn in an automatic.

Negative experience: I had lessons with Andrew, he would try to rearrange appointments last minute which were prearranged. He was often uninterested when I was driving and would just be looking out the window and asked to listen to music. When I was being taught certain techniques he would get very frustrated if I didn’t get the hang of them within minutes. Felt I was being charged to just drive him around for an hour. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Fantastic experience: Andrew is a lovely instructor - he is reliable and always on time! I passed first time at Chichester with his help, and I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. Thank you Andrew :)

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly driving instructor. He is very supportive, helpful and explains driving methods very clearly. I would definitely recommend booking lessons with him.

Negative experience: Recommended If you like impatient & aggressive personalities and enjoy being screamed at when driving onto a roundabout. after more than half a dozen lessons Andrew has only made me feel nervous and unsafe behind the wheel of a car.

Fantastic experience: Andrew is a very patient, supportive, professional and friendly instructor who doesn’t put pressure on you and gives you confidence on driving. I have passed my test today and I’d strongly recommend him to any driving test candidate. thanks Andrew

Fantastic experience: I had a refresher lesson, which was really helpful for me to regain my confidence. Andrew is clear, calm and professional as well as being friendly and putting me at ease after over 10 years of not being behind a wheel. It was really affordable and I would recommend this service to anyone in need of driving lessons. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have just had my first lesson with Andreas and left the car feeling really positive. Andreas is a very good driving instructor, I have had other instructors in the past so I can compare! He is very patient and explains things very clearly. He is also very kind and encouraging, which helps when you are a nervous driver. Can't wait for my next lesson. A driving test felt out of reach but now it feels manageable.
