I started learning to drive at the age of 34, unfortunately it didnīt come naturally for me! In fact, when I began lessons with Colin (a year later) Iīd had around 60 hours of tuition, and failed one practical test. I was finding it extremely frustrating and had little confidence in my ability. Colinīs style of teaching really turned this around. He is easy going and calm, and immediately made me adopt a more positive attitude to my driving. He noted my weak points straight away, and focused on these. We covered a lot in the lessons, and he would follow up with an email debrief, and links to helpful web sites, which I found very useful. His reference material is excellent - very common sense, for example, photos showing reference points in his own car. He also provided me with his own notes on manoeuvres and tips for the test. After 8 lessons with Colin, I took my test for a second time - and passed! I now plan to take the Pass Plus with Colin, as I enjoyed my lessons with him, and feel this will help make me become a safer and more confident driver for the future.

Colin is a warm, funny individual, but his approach to teaching students to drive is very professional. He has a natural talent of putting learner drivers at ease. With the tuition I received from Colin I passed first time (believe me if I can anyone can). Thank you again for all your help mate, I couldnīt have done it otherwise

I found Colin a very good instructor. He was patient and able to build my confidence as I had never driven a car before my first lesson. Overall he made driving lessons an enjoyable experience

I would never have passed my test without you! I started to learn to drive in London as I was living there at the time and took one test after about 5 months which I failed and that really knocked my confidence. When we decided to move to Kent I had to look for a new driving instructor and I found you. You were amazingly calm (which canīt always have been easy in my case). You always explained things properly and I felt I could ask anything. Coming from Sweden where we drive on the right it sometimes was a struggle to get use to driving on the left and there were times when I thought I would never get the hang of it. Now I really enjoy driving and living where we live it makes life a lot easier. I would highly recommend you and thanks again for teaching me how to drive!

When I started learning to drive with Colin I was nervous and quite panicky behind the wheel. Colin very soon got me confident on the road through his unwavering patience and calm. We concentrated on the things I didnīt quite get (like roundabouts!) until I was comfortable with them, and for the tricky manoeuvres Colin gave me reference points on the car to help me judge distances and angles, which I found incredibly useful. I enjoyed every lesson I had with him, and always appreciated the encouragement he gave me, even when I had off-days and got my lefts and rights muddled up! Thank you Colin for being such a good instructor and making it all so easy, and thanks for getting me passed first time with only 2 minors!
