Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Couldn’t recommend Autony enough! I passed my driving test first time this morning Honestly don’t think I’d have done it without Tony’s teaching. He’s so calm and friendly, and explains things in such a clear way that it all just makes sense. I was having fortnightly lessons and went from never being behind a wheel (and having zero confidence!) to being test-ready in just 36 driving hours. Can’t thank you enough, Tony!

Fantastic experience: I have recently passed my test with Tony, and if I could give a higher score than this, I would! I have struggled with driving anxiety for as long as I can remember, and it has been a huge thing for me to overcome. Despite learning to drive many years ago, I was never able to get through the test without being overwhelmed by my nerves, and eventually I came to the conclusion that I would never be able to drive by myself. Even the thought of starting driving lessons again made me feel instantly stressed, to the extent that I didn’t even want to talk about the subject. My youngest sister, who also struggled with driving anxiety, passed her test with Tony earlier this year. I had decided that I should probably try again, given that I am now married with young children, and had passed my theory test for the third time (due to previous tests expiring), but had not plucked up the courage to reach out to an instructor or coach to arrange lessons. However, seeing the incredible progress that my sister had made really spurred me on. I was incredibly nervous, stressed, and worried, but Tony could not have been kinder or more understanding, even when I first contacted him. From my first lesson, Tony has gone out of his way to help me. He is calm, kind and supportive, even during the most trying lessons, and he has always found a way to explain and demonstrate things in a way that works for me. He is undoubtedly the best teacher that I have ever learned to drive with, and has an incredible ability to adapt to the different needs of each one of his students! I have learnt so much from Tony, and have found that the aspects of driving that I struggled with as a younger learner suddenly make sense when taught in way that suits me. I am still trying to get used to the fact that I have gone from struggling to even think about taking driving lessons again, to passing my test less than one year after starting them with Tony - something that I felt I’d never be able to achieve. I would never have thought that I’d really enjoy driving - to the extent that it actually helps me to feel calmer when I am stressed! I am delighted that I have passed my test, and it is already making a huge difference to my family. I even talk to my children about the things that Tony taught me, and they think it’s brilliant that I can drive! Tony - I can’t thank you enough for the incredible difference that you have made. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and have changed my life for the better. Any learner would be lucky to be taught by you!

It was truly an honour and pleasure to work with you. Although you had doubts; from the moment you wanted to write down the manoeuvre procedures so you could assimilate them, I knew we would work together to a positive result. People who have passion for a task, a subject, a sport. Rarely fail. We focused that passion into belief and that manifested into reality. You deserve all the credit for keeping an eye on the goal. Well done its you who deserve the thank you for seeing this through.

Fantastic experience: Over the moon to say I passed my driving test first time, and I couldn’t have done it without Tony. He was patient, calm, and always explained things in a way that made sense. Every lesson felt relaxed whilst being really productive, and he massively helped me build up my confidence on the road. The biggest thank you to Tony for all his support and I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone learning to drive!!!

Very well done Sophie, you see with each little step we take in a positive way, they build into something enriching, those steps could be to better self esteem, better education or in this case into a beleive that you could drive. Take this new found skill with you on fabulous adventures, I hope it will remind you that once you put youre mind to things, magic happens

Fantastic experience: I recently took some refresher driving lessons with Tony, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first lesson, Tony was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. He helped me rebuild my confidence behind the wheel after a long break from driving. Tony has a calm and reassuring teaching style, which really made a difference for me. He explained things clearly, never rushed me, and gave constructive feedback that was easy to follow. His knowledge of road rules and practical tips were invaluable, and he tailored each lesson to focus on the areas I needed most. Thanks to Tony, I now feel much more confident and comfortable driving again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for refresher lessons or just a boost in driving confidence.

Fabulous Deniz, Glad to hear your feeling much more confident on the roads again. It was a pleasure meeting you and thank you for the review.

Fantastic experience: After struggling with severe anxiety and panic attacks in the car, I was absolutely terrified of driving. My confidence had been shattered during previous attempts to learn, and I was really nervous about trying again. Tony was a calming and reassuring influence from the first time we spoke. Although I found it difficult to get my head around everything, he remained patient and understanding, even picking up on when I was becoming more anxious before I even noticed and adapting the lesson to make sure I could get the best out of my time while also ensuring I didn't feel overwhelmed. I can honestly say, I would never have stuck with learning to drive if Tony wasn't my instructor. I managed to pass my test with only three minors last week, and feel much calmer behind the wheel thanks to his support and guidance. I absolutely would recommend Tony to anyone looking to learn, especially those who struggle with their nerves. Thank you so much Tony!

Fantastic experience: Tony was the best driving instructor I could have possibly asked for. Extremely patient, understanding and supportive. No question was too stupid, Tony would explain everything thoroughly so I fully understood what I was doing. I don’t think I’d have passed and grown to be a confident driver as quickly as I did had it not been for Tony’s teaching. Thank you so much!

Gemma Jackson (Gem_Wilko) 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 100% would recommend Tony to anyone looking for automatic lessons. I still can’t quite believe I passed my test first time. I suffer with anxiety and it’s one of the main reasons I not only changed from manual to automatic lessons but it’s also why I put off doing lessons for so long. Tony was so patient and friendly, he really made me feel at ease every step of the way. Tony is calm in every situation whether it is verbally describing a manoeuvre to adjusting a mistake you might have made. You’ll have your driving confidence boosted and you’ll also have a laugh along your journey. Thank you Tony!
