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
