Fantastic experience: Grant is an amazing driving instructor—calm, patient, and incredibly supportive. I started learning with a lot of anxiety, but his reassuring approach made all the difference.

Thank you Jasmine for this great review!
Fantastic experience: I've recently decided to do 4hrs of refresher lessons after passing a few years ago, before I go about buying a car. I was apprehensive at first, but Grant is a great, friendly teacher. He listened to the concerns I had and gave constructive feedback and advice to boost my abilities & confidence. I'd strongly recommend him to anyone looking to either learn or refresh their driving skills.
Thanks Thomas, I appreciate this review, all the best!
Fantastic experience: I had the absolute pleasure of learning to drive with Grant, and I can't recommend him enough! From my very first lesson, Grant made me feel at ease, creating a calm and encouraging environment that helped me build both confidence and skills behind the wheel. He is not only incredibly patient and kind but also highly professional, with a great way of explaining even the most complex driving techniques in a simple and understandable manner. What I appreciated most was how he tailored each lesson to my individual needs, making sure I progressed at my own pace while still challenging me to improve. Grant’s genuine dedication to helping me succeed made all the difference and thanks to his expert guidance, I passed my test on the first attempt with only 3 minors!
Thank you Marta for such a wonderful review!

Thanks Molly, you were an absolute pleasure to teach and always had such a positive attitude. Drive safely please.
Fantastic experience: I am excited to commend and recommend Grant for his exceptional support as I tackle the challenges of learning to drive a manual transmission. Despite my experience as an automatic driver, Grant's expertise in explaining the mechanics has made the transition remarkably smooth. His process-based teaching style, along with clear instructions, has been instrumental in overcoming the learning curve and providing progressively challenging lessons. Grant's patient and effective guidance has made the experience both educational and enjoyable. His accommodating approach suits learners of all levels and skill sets. I genuinely value the confidence he has instilled in me as a novice manual driver.
