Would highly recommend Mark as an instructor. As someone who was late to the game with learning how to drive, he was very supportive and helped me get to a place where I was able to pass the first time.

Dave was such an exceptional teacher, he was really patient and understanding and when it took me a bit longer to get something because of my dyspraxia he went away and found a different way of teaching it! I feel confident going out and driving and could not have done it without Dave :)

Gaia was a phenomenal teacher and because of her I passed my driving test first time. She is so patient during lessons and was very reassuring during my first few lessons when I was a bit nervous. She is also just a lively person to talk to and be around and driving lessons with her were actually really fun!

Hannah was my driving instructor she was so calm and relaxed, helped me relax a lot - I hadn’t been for any other lessons so driving with Hannah from the start of my driving experience was the best choice I made and I wouldn’t pick anyone else I was so lucky to have her teach me. I was lucky enough with such a good instructor to PASS 1st time! Thank you again Hanna :)
