Fantastic experience: After a long break from driving while living in London, I needed some refresher lessons. I had had 7 instructors – 4 while I was learning then 3 for refresher lessons. I hated driving and felt scared on the road. In March I found David online. It is hard to overstate the difference he has made. He is brilliant. Even on the first lesson I began to feel safe on the road – for the first time ever! I have worked in the entertainment industry for years and have met all sorts of people from all over the world but have never met someone who was so calm, thoughtful and considerate. I instantly felt at ease. At ease!! I was on the road, behind the wheel of a car feeling happy about being there – I was amazed. With David’s expert guidance I began to see the road clearly. He was so supportive. I use to be scared of roundabouts. David helped me to see and understand new ways of approaching them. I was doubtful. I thought I was beyond help but now can drive over the Army and Navy with a smile of satisfaction. Thanks to David I am now able to have my children in the car and feel I am not putting them in danger all the time. I now feel like I have got an awareness of the road and a level of fine control that will keep me safe. David said, when we first spoke, that he would be happy to help me get back on the road but he would personally get the most satisfaction from knowing that I was happy about getting into the car. I looked at him as if he was a bit crazy – how wrong I was… Thank you David. I am now the happy driver I never thought I would be. p.s. While writing this, I noticed that someone has left him a bad review because they could not get him as their instructor. Shame on them… David is respectful, fair and trustworthy. I am very happy to have had him as my instructor and my partner is delighted he has achieved such a transformation for me.

Negative experience: I got in touch with David in February asking for lessons. My details were taken and said that I will be contacted if a vacancy arises. We exchanged messages for a mid-April start. I got in touch early April to see if there was any update and David mentioned that there were vacancies that arose in March and he had to fill them and so could not help me! While I completely underdstand that demand is high and it is not always possible to help people, the lack of clarity here has really baffled me! David really came across as if he was doing me some favour! The process could have been managed much better by putting me in a queue or a waitlist and then providing some update on availability. None of that happened and it seems like slots are allocated on the basis of a "black box" logic! Lack of communication is the key word here. Really disappointed. I would not recommend David.

Fantastic experience: I had passed my test over a decade ago and hadn't driven for over 7 years when I decided to start driving again. I had never been the most confident of drivers and was very nervous to start again. As soon as I met David, he made me feel at ease straight away and we went at the pace that seemed perfect for my ability. David is the most kind and patient instructor with a great sense of humour - considering how nervous I was at the start, I grew to really enjoy the lessons and it's bitter sweet to no longer be driving around with him, but hopefully that emphasises how well he teaches! I am now a confident and overall better driver, and probably more than I ever was! I would recommend David to anyone wishing to start driving or for refresher lessons! Thanks so much David!

Fantastic experience: I have loved learning with David! He made me enjoy learning to drive and made it a calm and safe place to be in. I was able to pass first time, having the confidence and the correct knowledge I needed to do so! David will focus on an area in which you need to improve on until you smash it and can do it easily and confidently! I was able to feel comfortable going to and doing the test, having all the preparation I needed. David is very considerate and will help you overcome any barriers you may face and conquer any fears you may have! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: David is a great instructor and helped me pass first time today!! He is so professional and really friendly and calm. Great teacher. Thankyou david!

Fantastic experience: I had a really amazing experience with David, he was patient and made me feel at ease during all my lessons, passed first time! Would recommend him anyone wanting to learn to.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with David, made driving a fun and exciting experience and was always very calm and patient. Passed first time with no worries or anxieties. Would definitely recommend him to anyone and couldn’t have asked for someone better.

Fantastic experience: David is a brilliant, friendly, very patient and supportive instructor, who always keeps you focused on what matters. Learning during the chaotic Covid 19 pandemic, David directed me back on track, after every disruption, and I always felt confident I would end up in a better place, under his stewardship. David is very good at harnessing a driver's natural instincts, and enabling them to master their independent drive with ease. All the manoeuvres I felt, were expertly directed, and in the end, came to me so comfortably, thanks to his calm direction. I never felt pressured with David, and was always encouraged to make the right decisions independently. I count myself very lucky, to have such an experienced and supportive instructor, who turned me into a naturally instinctive, and very capable driver, above and beyond all the key essentials. I would recommend in a heartbeat. I can't thank him enough.

Fantastic experience: I really struggled in the beginning of learning to drive, but David tailored the lessons to work on my weak areas one point at a time and I eventually passed my driving test first time. I highly recommend him as a driving instructor, especially if you battle with elements of driving that require innovative techniques in order to improve.

Fantastic experience: David is a great driving instructor and helped me to pass first time despite lockdowns. Couldn’t recommend him enough for new learners.

Fantastic experience: David was my third instructor. Very well spoken and professional. Really liked his teaching style and helped me out through right after Covid lockdown to get me on the road as soon as possible. His car was Clean and sanitised properly before and after every lesson. Loved it all through.

Fantastic experience: Excellent teaching skills and solid support towards building up your confidence during the learning trajectory and exam preparation

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic, enjoyable time completing lessons with David instructing me. I previously had difficulties passing and was struggling, but with David’s help I passed with flying colours. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I passed first time thanks to David, he helped me build my confidence driving, having started with no experience at all. He’s very calm, comfortable to be around and will always put you at ease with new things X

Fantastic experience: David is a really excellent instructor who i would highly recommend to anyone. Made lessons enjoyable and helped my confidence behind the wheel.
