He took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me build confidence step by step. His teaching style is encouraging and supportive. Even when I’ve made mistakes, he has never made me feel nervous or pressured and has gently helped me learn. Thanks to Ryan’s guidance, I passed my driving test, and I feel genuinely prepared to drive safely and independently going forwards. As I’ve said to him and many others, I’ve never had as good a teacher in anything and I’ve learnt a lot from him in how I should teach others going forwards. If you’re looking for an instructor who truly cares about your progress and creates a relaxed learning environment, Ryan is the perfect choice. Thank you so much, Ryan.

Fantastic experience: Ryan has taught both my children to drive over the last few years, both entirely different types of learners and both found Ryan to be an engaging and supportive instructor, who picked up on issues quickly, explaining them clearly, so they could be understood and corrected straightaway. As a parent, I appreciated Ryan sharing progress and points to practice, so any practice we did with them reflected their lessons with Ryan and could be worked on. Ryan is a dedicated and experienced instructor who exceeded our expectations. Both our children have now passed and are safely on the road. We are confident that Ryan not only taught them how to pass a test but how to be safe drivers once they have. Ryan was recommended to me, and I would certainly recommend Ryan to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Fantastic experience: Ryan is a fantastic driving instructor. I was learning manual in the UK after driving previously abroad, and Ryan really helped me hone the skills needed to pass the exam with his extensive experience.

Did my test at Kingswood, Bristol, and passed first time!
