Fantastic experience: As a foreigner to the UK who had experience driving but who found the English rules the location of the steering wheel, the countryside roads, etcetera etc very new I was very nervous to start my driving life here. It was great to find David from Toucan after looking at many other companies. I believe he had the best experience to work with someone with my profile. It was a very good decision; not only he is very professional in terms of timing, advice, rules, knowledge of the roads locally, knowledge of the exam itself, knowledge of the routes that you might need to use, etcetera etc, but also he has a good way of making you feel calmer and secure while at the same time challenging you so that you are well prepared for the actual test. I would highly recommend Toucan Drive School and David in particular as today I not only passed my test on first try, but did it with only two minor faults (One of each bean an over speed limit of 3 mph!). Thanks a ton!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Fantastic experience: Mr. David Curzon is an extremely patient & informative driving instructor. His teaching, guidance & interpretation/ understanding skills are impeccable. He is caring as well. He was my first & only instructor. Even in my dreams I would recommend David to anyone; who wants to learn safe, confident driving (not just to pass the driving test but also to be a very good versatile driver). If you plan to get your test, get a car & drive long distances, David is the guy. I bought my car yesterday (around 10 days after passing my practical test), and I drove my car from Reading to Gloucester without any hiccups & even my wife felt safe & comfortable (I am a new driver). David has trained me well (with lot of patience) so that I feel always ready to make any split second driving decisions. Also I am Physically challenged (I cannot hold the wheel using my right arm); if you are someone like me & connecting with David; rest assured you are contacting the right person & would be in good hands. He would be able to guide you through the entire process and associated nitty-gritty.

Fantastic experience: I'm truly fortunate to have David as my driving instructor. His unwavering support, understanding, and insightful explanations have made the learning process both enjoyable and enlightening. David's guidance has not only helped me grasp driving skills in a different driving culture but has also instilled a safety-conscious and confident mindset behind the wheel. He always give rational reasons why rules has set in a specific way. On the day of my test, David's flexibility and commitment to his students were evident as he graciously accommodated my last-minute booking in a different city. I am incredibly thankful for his unwavering support, which played a crucial role in my success. Overall, David's expertise, patience, sense of humors, and helpful tips make him an outstanding instructor for anyone embarking on their driving journey.

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say that if it wasn't for David, I wouldn't be the driver I am now - miles more confident and able to pass my test today! David is kind, patient, and understanding, which is so important for someone like me who used to find driving almost unbrearably stressful. Not anymore! David taught me that it's more than just passing a test - he equips people with the ability to access the wider world and to become a stronger, more resilient person at the same time. Not only am I a much safer driver for it, I've taken the lessons I've learned with him and used them in all sorts of situations that you wouldn't expect. Thank you, David - I really won't forget what you've done for me.

Fantastic experience: David has been the best instructor I could’ve asked for, so considerate, understanding, helpful and supportive! I’d been learning with him for the better part of 6 months and passed first time today with 1 minor and absolutely all due credit to him. He’s never failed to do the utmost possible to cater to me to help as much as he could in terms of lesson times and location, and also outside of lessons with sending relevant info, advice, diagrams, maps that he thinks would help me. Always does his best job with helping in areas others don’t as much in terms of not only physically driving but the emotional side of it and the mentality behind a safe and successful driver. I couldn’t recommend more and will forever be so grateful! Thankyou David!!!!
