Fantastic experience: Richard is a great instructor if not one of the best out there and has a great price for lessons. He is very good at explaining things and goes over the things you struggle with until you are confident. I highly recommend Richard as an instructor and thanks to him I passed my driving test.

Fantastic experience: Richard has been a great instructor I enjoyed learning with him. He was very easy to chat to and always put me at ease, which enabled me to relax while learning to drive. I was able to do lessons at times that fitted around my school timetable and he was always on time to collect me. I have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Richard. Freddie

Fantastic experience: Richard taught my son to drive and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Unfortunately we weren’t so lucky with his first instructor but when I read the reviews for Richard we waited until he had space. He’s a really amenable guy, professional, patient with a GSOH. As soon as my daughter is ready to start lessons he’ll be our go to. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Richard is the best instructor I could’ve hoped for, he really helped me get to grips with driving and we had a good laugh throughout. Just passed thanks to him and would recommend him to anyone in need of lessons.

Fantastic experience: Very good instructor. He gave the best confidence that was lacking in me. I really appreciate my time with you Mr Richard. All the best

Fantastic experience: Richard is simply the best! In every lesson, Richard spot right away my weakness points, and patiently explained again and again how to improve, the way it should be done, and the important things to notice to go over the final test- which I did in the first try - all thanks to Richard professional insights and guidance abilities. I can also say that my wife had the same experience exactly- including a success in the first test as well, which she was very anxious about! Go for Richard, believe me! Thank you Richard for everything, Super appreciated, Tal

Fantastic experience: Richard has been a fabulous driving instructor for our daughter. Her confidence was low after her experience with another instructor, Richard quickly built up her confidence again, accessed where she needed practice and supported her through to her driving test. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Me and my husband both learned with Richard. Richard is very professional, patient and kind teacher. I was taking the test in Watford and Richard took me around the common test routs. That way, on the day of the test I knew all the tricky places as we practiced on our lessons. Thanks to him, we both passed on our first test! relocated to the UK. I'll kindly recommend Richard, the best your driving teacher!

Fantastic experience: When I started my lessons with Richard, I lacked confidence, however Richard always gave very clear guidance and explanations, and was very supportive. I found this encouraging and it enabled me to gain confidence in my driving abilities. Richard is extremely reliable, and caters his driving lessons to areas where you may not be confident. He gives thorough feedback at the end of each lesson which allows you to pinpoint areas for future practice. Richard is a very lovely person and is also great to chat to! Could not recommend Richard as an instructor enough and if I could give him 10 stars I would!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly driving instructor who helped me to pass first time.

Fantastic experience: Richard taught my son who passed first time. Richard really made him feel comfortable and was also flexible and responsive on scheduling lessons. A really nice guy who I can highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test after learning with Richard for half a year and each lesson with him was a great experience. Every lesson was built around weaknesses from the lesson before which really helped keep my confidence up and allowed me to make steady progress. Richard always explained everything very clearly and demonstrated it all well. He was always patient and encouraging. Richard is a really nice person and I would definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I've had multiple driving instructors and Richard is by far the best one. He has great driving knowledge and was able to teach me how to drive correctly fixing all of my previous mistakes. He is also a chilled out person making him someone that is easy to learn from.

Fantastic experience: Richard went above and beyond to ensure that our son, Patrick, became a safe and confident driver. He is so professional and kind. We can’t thank him enough. He is an exceptional driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Richard was an amazing driving instructor, was extremely patient and very helpful at every point of my driving journey. Thanks to Richard’s help and guidance I was able to pass first time, would definitely recommend to anyone when choosing a driving instructor!

Fantastic experience: Richard is an amazing driving instructor, I was referred him by a friend after struggling with a previous instructor and our lessons massively boosted my confidence and got me test ready. He is a very skilled and effective teacher and always goes the extra mile to make driving lessons a positive experience, utilising every minute of the lessons. Would definitely recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Richard is an amazing instructor, I honestly couldn’t have passed my test without him. I had completely lost my confidence driving and a couple lessons later with Richard I was ready to take my test. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Will definitely be signing Richard up again for teaching my little brother in September.

Fantastic experience: Incredible instructor and person. Very patient, experienced and a really great teacher. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor- thanks again Richard

Fantastic experience: 5 Stars are not enough to say how great an instructor Richard is. I've had 3 different instructors since the age of 17 and just didn't gel with them (as I was always nervous). The first time I stepped into the car with Richard I felt, for the first time in my life (42 years) zen like and calm. With his patience but insistence on correcting mistakes I passed on my 2nd attempt. Before Richard it was inconceivable that I'd even sit a driving test, let along pass one.

Fantastic experience: Studying with Richard was an extremely positive and effective driving instruction experience. His exceptional teaching skills stem from tailoring each lesson to address students' individual weaknesses, enabling remarkable progress. Richard creates a supportive learning environment by maintaining a patient, thoughtful approach that reduces anxiety over mistakes. What impressed me most was his deep understanding of my specific challenges, designing customized lessons that targeted and strengthened those areas of difficulty. As a result of his stellar guidance, I not only passed my driving test on the first try but also gained the skills and confidence for a lifetime of safe driving.

Fantastic experience: Richard has been such an incredible driving instructor words can’t explain how much he helped me pass first time. I had 4 driving instructors whilst i was learning and despite them all being lovely, i really have to give a lot of credit to Richard because i was with him the longest and he was so patient and kind with me. Richard is so motivating and a lovely funny person and never failed to make me feel comfortable. I definitely couldn’t have passed first time without his support and help. His method of teaching is so good and he always makes you feel comfortable. He also doesn’t drag lessons out like some instructors may do, he’s very keen for you to pass as soon as you’re ready and believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. Any student would be very luck to have him as their instructor. I’ll definitely miss him and his humour and will always remember his advice whenever i’m driving by myself. Big thanks to Richard!!!

Fantastic experience: Richard taught my son to drive. The lessons were enjoyable and son has passed his test. From a parent’s/admin perspective, I found Richard to be responsive to communications, approachable and very helpful whenever I had a query. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test last year after lessons with Richard. He’s an excellent teacher who always helps you remain relaxed . Would recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor in the St Albans area.

Fantastic experience: Richard is an amazing driving instructor his communication during our lessons helped me to pass my test and I couldn’t have had a better instructor. Was super welcoming and helpful, would definitely recommend Richard for new drivers.

Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test recently and I honestly couldn’t do it without my driving instructor Richard. Richard is very passionate with what he does which motivated me to do my best. He was always determined for me to improve on my driving skills and was very proud once I achieved a skill. His teaching is fantastic. Whilst driving, he would point out small things that people can easily make a mistake on so I’m aware and not do in the future. Richard was always so patient with me every lesson and took things slow so I could understand and improve on my mistakes. This helped me build up my confidence. Richard is supportive and friendly, there was never a dull moment and we had many laughs together. He made me feel comfortable and feel at ease which really relaxed my nerves when driving. He would be calm and wouldn’t ever raise his voice. I highly recommend Richard to anyone, he is honestly an amazing instructor. He makes sure you leave your driving lesson knowing that you have learnt something new and what you have improved on, and what improvements there should be for next driving lesson. He does this by having a good chat at the end reviewing the whole lesson. I am going to miss Richard and his company whilst driving. Thank you so much Richard!

Fantastic experience: Rich taught our 17-year-old, who says: "I found Rich Burrows to be an excellent driving instructor; he had in-depth knowledge of local roads used in the driving test and gave regular, helpful feedback throughout every lesson. He was very organised, so booking the next lesson was always easy. He was calm, friendly, and supportive, and I would gladly recommend him to any learner driver."

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test under the expert guidance of Richard, and I am elated to share my exceptional experience. Richard's dedication, patience, and proficiency as a driving instructor are truly commendable. From the outset, Richard established a comfortable and supportive learning environment. His clear communication and step-by-step guidance were instrumental in helping me grasp complex driving concepts. Richard's ability to tailor lessons to address my specific areas of improvement made the learning process efficient and enjoyable. What sets Richard apart is not only his wealth of knowledge but also his genuine passion for teaching. He consistently went above and beyond, accommodating my schedule and providing constructive feedback that significantly contributed to my success on the road. Richard's commitment to his students' success is evident, and it reflects in the confidence I now have as a licensed driver. I wholeheartedly recommend Richard to anyone in search of a top-notch driving instructor who not only ensures you pass the test but also equips you with the skills to be a safe and responsible driver. Thank you, Richard!

Fantastic experience: I am so pleased i had Richard as my driving instructor. I have had so many driving instructors over the years and Richard is hands down by far the best! I wouldnt have passed my driving test with out him. I felt very relaxed and calm learning with Richard and even had some laughs along my journey. He is very good at giving instructions and his teaching stills are brilliant, especially for someone with no driving experience. I learnt a lot so quickly and you would definitely miss out with out having Richard as an instructor. All the best to those that have a wicked experience learning with Richard.
