Zoe's kind review is very much appreciated. Thank you.
A very pleasant and focused lady, I did enjoy teaching Zoe.
I have passed an enhanced disclosure check, but it's comforting to hear a pupil felt safe with me.
Fantastic experience: Steve was a great instructor, he was very patient, supportive and explained things very well, and helped me pass first time. I would recommend him to anyone.

Your kind words are much appreciated Isobel. Your hard work and determination in learning to drive assist greatly. Thank you for the recommendation.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Steve as a driving instructor as the service he delivered was nothing short from excellence. At the start of my driving, I struggled quite a bit but Steve was able to work with me through it and improve my standard of driving to another level. I passed my test first time while working with Steve. He is polite, passionate and understanding. Moreover, I have a slow processing learning disability and he was able to take me on as a student and simplify driving procedures for me by using several methods and techniques. I owe Steve a big thank you and apart from his exceptional teaching as an instructor, I’ve learned a lot from him as a role model in life.
Thank you for this kind review Tomás.
Tomás is a very capable, mature and respectful young man. I very much enjoyed working with him and was more than delighted to see him pass his test on his 1st attempt.
I believe Tomás will be taking PASS+ with me now to enhance his skills.
WELL DONE!
Fantastic experience: Steve, the instructor, was very patient and calm in every lesson and was a great teacher for me and my brother. Would definitely recommend.
Thank for your kind comments Joe. Both you and Archie were equally great students. I was delighted to help you both pass on your first attempts.
Fantastic experience: I had given up on myself and resigned to the fact that I can’t drive a manual car when I reached out to Steve asking for automatic lessons which he unfortunately didn’t do but graciously offered me manual lessons and accommodated me at quite a short notice. He patiently helped me get my confidence, walked me through manoeuvres and routines meticulously, highlighting the good things i was doing and at the same time critically analyzing the mistakes and helped me overcome them. I passed my test in first attempt today with all due credit to Steve. He is a very patient and reliable instructor. Also, I really like how organised he is (using technology and apps to stay on top of things) with schedules and was always on time. Cheers to Steve for helping me pass!!
Thank you Rabiyya. These are very kind comments.
It was a pleasure to teach Rabiyya. She took on board any advice given focused on being as best and as safest a driver as possible.
Hopefully she will consider doing Pass+ with me. I expect she will go on to be a safe driver in any case.
Well done again!
Fantastic experience: Steve is a patient, positive and supportive driving instructor. He has taken me from moving the car 2 metres to passing my test with 2 minors. He has played a massive role in my driving journey and has been calm and helpful all the way, with the inclusion of some fun and banter as well.
Thanks Leo. Your positive approach to learning to drive and good company made it easier for me. Safe driving.
Fantastic experience: A first time pass for me. This wouldn’t of been possible if it hadn’t been for Skene Driving School. Steve is a great instructor. He was very patience with me and given me good critical feedback when I needed it. I highly recommend.
Ethan was a good pupil with high personal standards. I am sure he will be a safe driver on the road now he has passed.
