Fantastic experience: Nigel is a fantastic driving instructor! He is extremely patient and understanding. His methods of instruction are very unique and professional. His sense of humour always livens up every lesson and makes you feel at ease! I passed my test with only 4 minor faults. I would highly recommend Nigel to anyone looking to pick up driving skills/ pass the test.

Fantastic experience: Nigel is a great instructor who is very patient, my son passed 1st time with only 2 minors, he was so anxious at the start of his driving lessons, but Nigel was great and made him feel very comfortable. Thank you Nigel.

Fantastic experience: Amazing job Nigel!! Couldn’t have done it without you! First time pass!! Excellent instructor and super friendly guy! Would highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I'm having some refresher driving lessons with Nigel. I feel he really understands what it's like going back to driving again. His explanations are clear and he regularly checks-in with me to see if I'm comfortable or need any help. He's an excellent teacher and his experience and understanding shine through.

Fantastic experience: I recently purchased a 29ft Caravan, and have no towing experience, so thought it best to try and find someone who does training, which is not all that easy to find since the towing license requirement was scrapped. I contacted John Paige trailers who highly recommended Nigel. I gave Nigel a phone call to explain what I was after, and from this he gave me an email with a list of dates for availability also trying to work around my work schedule by giving me weekend options. We arranged a day where he promptly turned up at the time he said and got straight down to business with a short presentation highlighting many points about safe driving, which was quite nice as you do tend to forget a bit of information over the years. As Trailer training is not required anymore you need to supply your own outfit which makes sense to me as that is what I will be using and would like to be familiar with. He checked it all over and will even give you tips on hitching/unhitching. We were soon ready to hit the road, and with Nigel's calm teaching manner instilling confidence in myself it all became quite natural. Then we got to a spot with enough room to practice reversing manoeuvres. With Nigel's patience and knowledge I was able to grasp some of the useful tools in helping to reverse my caravan. We arrived back home where two times previously it has taken me anywhere between 30-45 mins to get my caravan on the driveway, with Nigel's guidance (he did not have to take the wheel from me :-p) it was parked up within 5 minutes. I would say I started with a confidence level of around 3/10 and came back at least 6/10 after 4 hours spent on the course. I would thoroughly recommend Nigel and his training to anyone wishing to hone in their towing skills. Very pleased overall, even stayed for a brew rather than just rushing off.

Fantastic experience: couldn’t recommend nigel enough, passed my driving test today first time! he has helped me feel so confident with driving x

Fantastic experience: Nigel was recommended to us by another driving instructor who had just retired. The fact another teacher recommended him was a good indication of his skills and patience. We weren’t disappointed. He has proven to be a great tutor and has guided Will over a just three months to pass first time! Thank you Nigel!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor. Built up my confidence and made me a better, safer driver. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I contacted Nigel back in the spring. At the time I had almost no driving experience in the UK. Nigel performed a miracle. He honed my skills so much that I was able to pass the exam today with only four minors. I recommend his lessons to everyone, he is a true professional in his field.

Fantastic experience: I Can highly recommend Nigel, really nice guy, patient throughout the whole process, always punctual and has a really nice car to learn in, my daughter passed first time, reasonable costs,

Fantastic experience: Nigel is a fantastic driving instructor, he is friendly, personable and professional. He goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease on the road and all the way up to your test. I would recommend Nigel to any and everyone, from beginners to more experienced learners alike. Thank you Nigel!

Fantastic experience: arranged driving lessons for my grandson on his 17 th birthday, he has just passed his driving test - first time.... From his first lesson Nigel put his mind at rest, with his friendly, professional attitude, and calming sense of humour, and patience, he instilled confidence, and all the safety aspects to drive.... I would highly recommend Nigel as a great driving instructor to anyone, as does oliver... Thank you very much Nigel

Fantastic experience: After the empty roads of the pandemic I found I had developed a fear of overtaking LGVs. With an upcoming drive to the Spanish border this was a big problem. Two hours of Nigel's experience and advice - all delivered with great kindness and insight - and I was back cruising happily past thundering trucks. The best £80 I have invested in anything for many years. I'll be right back if any other problems arise.

Fantastic experience: Using our own vehicle and trailer Nigel kindly gave me a couple of trailer lessons (which I know he no longer offers) I didn’t need a licence but needed guidance, encouragement and confidence which Nigel expertly gave me! I successfully reversed our trailer into our work unit today which is all thanks to Nigel. If you’re looking for an instructor that is knowledgeable and explains all aspects clearly, look no further!!! I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I needed to learn how to drive and manoeuvre our camper van confidently, safely and learn to enjoy the experience! I was recommended Nigel by a friend in a similar situation. I booked a four hour lesson to achieve this. Nigel was very reassuring, he put me at ease as I was nervous. I enjoyed the lesson- I learnt a lot about how to drive and manoeuvre the van safely and confidently. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I had failed my driving test twice before switching to use Nigel. He is an amazing instructor. In only 4 lessons he completely boosted my confidence, helped me perfect my manoeuvres and get out of bad habits. I passed my test today thanks to him. Couldn't recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: Nigel is an excellent instructor for young drivers. Patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Will adapt lessons and support to meet the specific needs of the driver. Highly recommended
