Fantastic experience: I just finished a one week intensive course with Les and passed. I have had some trouble over the years learning to drive as it didn’t come naturally to me, Les is incredibly adaptable, patient and experienced. I would highly recommend him. Thank you so much Les!

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

Some people are nowhere near as good as they think they are. Whilst others are nowhere near as bad as they think they are. And that was you. Thanks for working hard and identifying your own weaknesses. It makes my job much easier. Sorry I had to go in hard on you towards the end but it ended in a pass which you very much deserved.
Au revoir mon étoile dans le ciel brillant.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Les over the course of about a month and a half, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. From day one, Les was a sincere, patient, and supportive coach. I tend to get quite anxious in high-pressure situations like driving tests but Les helped me build confidence in myself, a skill that I now carry with me beyond just driving. Les is a local instructor who knows the area and the test routes, exceptionally well. He makes sure you get plenty of practice on the exact types of roads, junctions, and situations you’ll face during the real test. That local knowledge is a huge advantage and really helped me feel more prepared on the day of my exam. Les stands out not only for his calm and humble demeanor, but also for his ability to adapt his teaching style to suit how you learn best. He’s incredibly reliable; always on time and unlike some instructors, he never raises his voice when you make a mistake. Instead, he calmly guides you through it, making the learning process feel safe and encouraging. Another major plus is that his rates are very reasonable compared to many other driving schools out there today. If you’re still reading this, I highly recommend booking a session with Les. One lesson is all it takes to see the difference. Good luck on your driving journey!

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

Thank you for your very kind words. I hear such bad things about young people in the press, yet meeting people like you in person cheers my soul. You are the leaders of tomorrow and if all their hands are like yours then the world is in a good place for the future. Enjoy your driving and go boldly onwards. You deserve all that you work so hard for. All the best.

Blue Bird 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I started as an incredible nervous driver and Iv had 3 other instructor before finding lez. I started with lez having never left a car park with any of the other driving instructor, after 6 months of lesion, I have passed first time. I never would have thought learning to drive would be so straight forward untill I found lez. Learning to drive takes time and I was always anxious about spending so much time with someone I didn’t know for so many hours but lez is easy going and a pleasure to be around. He was absolutely the best instructor I could have asked for. He is clear, professional, reassuring and funny. He puts people at easy and creates a safe and enjoyable learning environment.

Jay Price 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Les was very attentive and always nice and calm which made a very nice atmosphere in all of my lessons. He’s very easy to talk to if you have any worries or stress about anything and very understanding. Because of him I have passed my test first time with only 1 minor. I would very highly recommend him to anyone who struggles with driving anxiety. Thank you very much Les for your time teaching me

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

She's a delightful young lady who took the job of learning to drive very seriously. Only one minor fault! Wow! One heck of a result.

Elizabeth Marsh 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for automatic driving lessons in Gloucester, then I definitely recommend doing them with Les. He helped me pass my test first time with 1 minor. I was driving with him for 9 months before I passed and he was always very calm and patient with me. Les is very good at explaining and talking you through situations on the road and helped me through any worries / anxieties I had about driving throughout my time with him.

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

You always came to lessons with a smile on your face and you engaged enthusiastically. Teaching and learning is a two way street and you played your part with real commitment. One minor fault is a great result and one you truly deserved.

Aishah 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I wanted to express my gratitude for the amazing job Les did in helping me overcome my anxiety while learning to drive. As someone who has been struggling with driving-related anxiety, his patience and calming presence (as well as his sense of humour) made all the difference, ensuring I felt comfortable behind the wheel at all times. Les is a true professional and I strongly recommend him to anyone learning how to drive. Thank you for being such a wonderful instructor and helping me pass my driving test last week (first time!!!), I couldn’t have done it without you!

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

Thank you for your kind words. Anxiety is normal when learning to drive. What is hard is learning to control that anxiety and make solid and safe decisions. You did that brilliantly and absolutely deserve your result.

Samantha Gould 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed with Les today, honestly couldn't of done it without him. Amazing guy. Fantastic instructor. Made me feel at ease from first lesson with him.

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

What a lovely girl Samantha is. What she needed was self belief, so I believed in her and she began to believe in herself. The net result was only two minor faults. A fabulous result! I'll miss your cheeky smile but now it's time for you to fly. And I'm always here if you need me.

Lidia 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been trying to learn to drive on and off for years. Iv had various instructors. I can honestly say when I started driving with Les I felt calm for the first time. (He never raised his voice and I never came away from a lesson feeling discouraged like I did with a lot of other instructors ) I worked on what I needed too and today I passed. If you have felt like giving up please don’t! Les is so lovely I wish I’d have found him as an instructor sooner.

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

What you needed was self belief. Once you realised that I believed in you, you began to believe in yourself. You put in the hard work and got exactly the result you deserved. Well done!

Amy Wallace 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I struggled with learning to drive for a very long time so I made the decision to learn automatic to lessen the stress, and with les’s help that’s exactly what it did! Les helped me to learn to deal with my nerves and not panic if I made a mistake, we simply just did it again until i could do it. Les is a lovely bloke, very knowledgeable and is brilliant at his job. I passed first time with 5 minors and at one point felt almost unteachable but Les gave me the confidence and skills I needed to pass. I would highly recommend Les for learning to drive especially if you’re a nervous driver like myself. Thankyou again Les!

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

It was my pleasure to teach such a lovely person as Amy. I smiled every time I saw her name in my diary. You were like a sponge, sucking in information, and desperately wanting to pass your test. You got exactly what you deserved. A brilliant first time pass that I know you will cherish and make the most of.

Hannah 22 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I passed a couple of months ago now on my first attempt after my lessons with Les. I had a very uncomfortable experience prior with a different instructor which almost put me off but Les instantly put me at ease. Very informative, actually wants you to pass rather than trying to string you along for money and full of brilliant stories that made lessons more fun. Thank you for giving me my confidence back, would highly reccomend!

Gloucester Automatic Driving Lessons

All I ask is that people work hard and take notice of what I say, even if I do chat a lot of rubbish sometimes. I do that to try and relax you and allow your driving to be free and natural. You got it. You listened and put it into action. Enjoy being one of us. The drivers. You absolutely deserve it.

Fantastic experience: Before meeting Les back in October I had been trying to pass my test for four years. He gave me the confidence to start making my own decisions on the road and was extremely calm when explaining things I could have done better/the errors I made. He was always calm, chatty and honest with me about my driving. Thank you so much for helping me pass on Tuesday with only 3 minors! Will be recommending to anyone that asks!
