Thank you very much for the lovely review Millie, it was an absolute pleasure to help you pass your test first time
Fantastic experience: Andy really is THE best instructor! As a visual learner, I loved that Andy had his iPad at the ready to explain different junctions, roundabouts, etc. if I was ever confused. He’s encouraging and kind and every lesson helped me progress, whilst being fun! I started off in August as quite an anxious driver, but Andy helped me build up the confidence and independence that I had all along. I am so happy that I could pass FIRST TIME with only 3 minors this December. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test yesterday at the second try. Andy has been patient and kind with me throughout, and is so calm. He gave me confidence when I had none. As an older student, I couldn't have asked for a better more understanding teacher! Thanks Andy.

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving instructor. Passed first time! Very friendly, helped me develop my confidence and driving skills.
Fantastic experience: Started learning with Andy back in the summer, He is a really friendly and calm guy who goes at your own pace, offering support and advice while learning. This helped me really get progression in my driving lessons from the motivation from Andy and his passion to teach. This helped me pass my Driving Test on the first time with 0 faults as a result of Andy's amazing teaching. Will definitely be recommending him.
Fantastic experience: Andy was fantastic to learn with. He had a great approach to teaching, helping me learn at my pace and in the way that best works for me.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Andy , my son has a first time pass . Within 5 months of lessons . My son felt very comfortable with Andy’s teaching methods and enjoyed his lessons .The cost is reasonable for the time spent on his lessons Thank you
Fantastic experience: Andy is an amazing driving instructor with a firm but caring approach to teaching. He helped me become a safer, calmer and considerate driver. I would 100% recommend him for anyone thinking of learning to drive. He had very flexible hours, even working later in the evening if his students need him. Andy, Thank you so much for helping me pass and being so kind and clear through all of our late evening drives.
Fantastic experience: Class as always passed my test first time really helpful would definitely recommend!
Thanks Bailey! It was my pleasure to help you pass your test
Negative experience: Tried to contact Andy a few times and left messages. Absolutely no response at all!!!
Hi Sarah, very sorry you’ve not had a response. I’ve been having a bit of a problem with receiving voice mails and have been getting a lot of spam calls which makes it difficult to know which numbers to call back. I understand if you’ve reached out to another instructor, but if you still wish to receive some more information you can try us on a different number. 07766 570427
Sorry again for any inconvenience.
Fantastic experience: Best instructor around, no doubt about it!
Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor out there, he made driving (something that used to make me really anxious) into something I love
Fantastic experience: Andy was the most patient, personable driving instructor I could have asked for. After trying to learn with 2 other instructors and making little progress, I found Andy and I'm so glad I did. He adapted to my additional needs and never let me lose hope. He had faith in me when I didn't have any left for myself. The result? I passed my driving test first time without a single minor fault! I'm genuinely going to miss our lessons, but it's time for the next learner to benefit from his teaching. Thank you, Andy.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend choosing Andy as your driving instructor, he is a great instructor and made it a pleasant experience learning to drive with him
Fantastic experience: Andy not only helped with my confidence and my driving anxiety, but he also fixed bad habits caused by two previous inexperienced instructors. He managed that by being patient and adapting the lessons to suit me because he knows that everyone learns differently. I passed yesterday and I wouldn't have done it without him. Thanks Andy!
Fantastic experience: Andy has taught my daughter to drive over the last six months. It’s been wonderful to see a nervous driver starting out, feeling sure she wouldn’t be able to learn to drive, emerge into this confident driver who passed first time. She has loved her lessons with Andy who made her feel so at ease.
Fantastic experience: Andy is without the most caring, reliable and patient driving instructor. After being with a few different instructors, he was definitely the right instructor for me. Thank you so much, for everything you have taught me, not only the laughs we’ve had on the way to me passing too. I would highly recommend to anybody that’s wanting to find a good driving instructor- because Andy is your man!
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, very supportive and always willing to go out of his way for the better of his students. Reasonably priced and highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Andy highly enough he was a fantastic patient and friendly instructor to my son he went above and beyond to get my son his pass with only 2 minors. Thank you for everything Andy.
