LEAP Driving School-Chris McDonald ADI: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor. Chris was so patient with Sophie , she looked forward to every lesson. Chris took time to build up her confidence and she passed first time !!!! Please check out Chris, highly recommended!
Thanks Wayne for the great review.
Fantastic experience: Chris took me everywhere in the car, to build up my confidence, he is really amazing and I would recommend him to anyone that’s learning to drive! He has helped me so much! I passed first time today, and I couldn’t ask for a better instructor!
Thanks Sophie for the great review.
It was a pleasure helping you achieve your independence, stay safe on the roads.
Fantastic experience: Chris was a fantasic teacher with my daughter...calm and gave clear instruction at all times! He didn't just teach Molly to pass her driving test...he taught her to drive...taking her on all the different types of roads around the county, making sure hat when she passed her test she would be a good and safe driver! Couldn't recomment enough!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving instructor, Chris is very knowledgeable and has a great rapport with his students. My son Hamish passed first time with only one minor. Chris took great time and effort in teaching Hamish how to drive practically and safely and not purely just “how to pass a test” which has certainly made him a much more pragmatic driver, and set him up for success with the rest of his driving. I highly recommend Chris and his driving school and will definitely be calling on his services again in 18 months time when my daughter will be looking to learn how to drive.
Many thanks Jamie for taking time to write such a fantastic review.
Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Chris for helping me pass my practical driving test. He was amazing very clear in his instructions when showing me how to drive. He was very easy to talk to when I made mistakes, can’t fault him. Thanks. Would recommend.
Thanks Hamish for taking time to write a review of your experience with me. Safe driving.
Fantastic experience: My thanks to Chris for his patience and understanding in enabling me to get behind the driving wheel again. His calm reassuring presence whilst instructing me, gave me the confidence I needed.
Thanks Yvonne for taking time to write a review of your experience with me.
Fantastic experience: An hours assessment of my driving as part of the Mature Drivers Course. Chris was very friendly and that helped me to feel relaxed as we drove around every roundabout in HW (at least twice!). Without fuss or criticism he pointed out where I could enhance my skills and thereby make me a safer driver clearly showing other road users my maneuvering intentions. I would certainly be happy to recommend Chris as an instructor for complete learners and maturer drivers. The Mature Drivers Course is also excellent.
Thanks Sheelagh for taking time to write a review of your experience on your drive with me and Mature Driver Course
Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Chris, who was a great driving instructor. He was clear with instructions while still being chatty and friendly. I would definitely recommend to others.
Thanks Tom for taking time to write a review of your experience with me.
It was a pleasure helping you to achieve your independence.
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time today with only 3 minor faults which I don’t believe I would have achieved without Chris’ help. He taught me how to be a safe driver and explained everything thoroughly in every lesson I had with him. I would highly recommend Chris as a driving instructor as he not only teaches you how to pass your test but also how to be a safe driver once you pass. Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement over the last months!
Well done Mair for passing your test today! Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. Safe driving and see you on the road!
Fantastic experience: Very good instructor helped me to achieve a first time pass with no faults. Chris not only helped me get to very good level of driving to not only pass my test but to also be a safe and competent driver on the road. Would recommend
Thanks Kyran for taking time to write a review, it has been a pleasure helping you to achieve your independence.
Fantastic experience: We would just like to say a big Thankyou to Chris McDonald of LEAP Driving School for getting Emyr through his driving. Chris you were brilliant, not just for getting Emyr through with ZERO faults with his practical test but also your patience with him with the theory. You went above & beyond to get Emyr through his theory that proved difficult with his learning difficulties. Thankyou so much, this is such a big achievement for Emyr & by passing his driving test he now has some independence that he didn’t have before & that is down to you. You said he could achieve his goal & because of you, he has. Thankyou from all of the Thomas family.
Thank you very much for the lovely review. It has been a pleasure to help Emyr to gain his independence. All he needed was a little help and reassurance that he could do it and he showed that with his dedication and the fab result.
Fantastic experience: I suffer really badly with anxiety. Chris was so patient with me during my lessons. He knew exactly what needed to be done to keep me calm. He would always check on me during my lesson to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable. He was so reassuring!.
Thanks Mariah for taking time to write a review, I am always grateful. Hope it all goes well on your new adventure.

Thanks Helen for taking time to write a review, it’s always important to have a parent’s point of view. Hope Dan is enjoying his independence and driving safely.
Fantastic experience: My son Adam passed his driving test with Chris today. The first time I met Chris he explained that he would teach Adam to drive, not just to pass his test, and I knew Adam was in safe hands. Adam has become an excellent young driver and I feel comfortable as a passenger when Adam is driving. I am happy to highly recommend Chris to instruct any young driver. He is highly knowledgeable and brings years of experience and a very practical approach to what he does. Thanks Chris
Thanks Phil for taking time to write a review. I am always grateful when parents give feedback, on what I have been like coaching family members on how to drive safely and then passing their test. Hope Adam is still enjoying his independence and driving safely.
Fantastic experience: Chris has been absolutely amazing, found him through google when I was looking to start lessons as a complete beginner back in September, we’ve been doing 2 hour lessons most weeks and to anybody looking to start with him i highly recommend going for 2 hour lessons as you get to learn so much more in that time. Something else to consider about Chris which i really appreciated was how honest he is. He won’t mess you about like some instructors do if he thinks you did something poorly he will say and if your not ready for test he will say that. Thank you very much Chris, can’t stress how amazing you’ve been!
Thanks Adam for taking time to write a review, your feedback is greatly appreciated. Hope you are still enjoying your independence and driving safely.

Fantastic experience: Chris came highly recommended as an instructor. He has been brilliant every step of the way. Teaching a new learner driver how to drive and not just pass their test has shone through with my daughter’s approach on the road. I am totally comfortable as her co-pilot / passenger. Thank you Chris, Amber is a really solid, aware and conscientious driver ✨
Thanks Rachel for taking time to write a review, your feedback is always appreciated. Hope Amber is enjoying her independence and still driving safely.
Fantastic experience: Chris is a clear and straightforward instructor, which really helps when you're trying to focus on learning to drive. Chris was also very flexible where he was adjusting to me. I would definitely recommend Chris to anybody who wants to learn to drive, not just pass a test.

Many thanks for your review Aaron.
It was a pleased teaching you to drive. I am glad you enjoyed the Pass Plus drive today. Keep up your safe driving.
Fantastic experience: It is now coming up to a year of my driving experience after having passed my test and I can safely say choosing Leap Driving School was by far the best choice I made. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience of driving for the first time but most of all I feel confident in my driving abilities. I understand that safety is key when driving and I am comfortable going on any road in the UK after my great teaching at Leap Driving School. I was able to use the skills I learnt and practice in my local area and take them to any road including motorways with ease thanks to the great teaching provided by Chris, my driving instructor. I am very happy with how my lessons went as there was great communication and even better feedback each lesson for both my positive points and negative points in driving. Chris ensured that all of my driving issues were ironed out before I was sent off for my test and to this day I still remember what I was taught. I highly recommend Leap Driving School to anyone who would like be a safe driver and to anyone who wants an enjoyable and fun driving experience!
Thank you Shaveen for your excellent review. It was a pleasure teaching you to drive. It is also great to read that you are going from strength to strength and that you have the confidence to drive anywhere within the UK now.
Fantastic experience: Great tutor! Having passed my test 6 years ago I needed some help getting back into my driving. Chris was a great instructor, he really helped me build up my confidence back up and listened to what I needed to improve! The sessions were enjoyable and I would definitely recommend to anyone!
Many thanks Hannah for the great review. It is much appreciated. It was a pleasure helping you re-familiarise and I wish you many years of happy and safe motoring.
