Chris is a brilliant and patient instructor with whom I always felt very comfortable. He gave a great balance of encouragement and constructive criticism and makes an effort to teach you to be a good driver, rather than just pass your test. Additionally he is just a lovely guy to chat to! I passed my test first time with him :)

I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience learning to drive with Lucian! He’s been an amazing instructor from start to finish, always patient, supportive and great at explaining everything clearly. He made me feel confident behind the wheel and helped me improve every lesson, making sure I was fully prepared for my test. Thanks to Lucian’s teaching, encouragement and dedication, I managed to pass my driving test in just 4 months! I’m genuinely so happy with the result and couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He made the whole experience enjoyable and helped me build the confidence I needed to pass. I would 100% recommend Lucian to anyone looking to learn to drive. If you want an instructor who is patient, professional, supportive and genuinely wants you to succeed, he’s the one to go to. Thank you so much, Lucian, for everything! 🚗🎉
