Patient and understanding, Colin really helped me recognise my strengths and weaknesses then planned ahead to build my confidence up to a stage where I was ready to sit my test. I would recommend him to my friends and any learner driver.

I think Colin is a very good instructor for many reasons. At my first lesson I was very nervous because I had never driven a car before but he was able to build my confidence up. He makes sure that you are able enough to do something before teaching you something else, and doesnt rush anything. When he was teaching me new manoeuvres, he had certain reference points on his car to help me see where the kerb was and when to steer. (e.g. reverse left turn). I had a lot of problems booking my practical test because I kept getting my test cancelled, but he was very understanding and was checking other cancellations everyday to get me a date, which I thought was excellent.

When I first met Colin I knew he was going to be good at his job, patient, kind, friendly and co-operative. All the good things that a driving instructor needs. I learned a great deal from him very quickly as he taught me how to drive in the best possible way, which made it easy going and with no draw backs. I cannot fault anything in Colins ability to teach someone how to drive out on the road, he is, without a doubt, very good at what he does. The way he handled certain situations with me when I made errors in my driving was superb, he put my faults into perspective and gave me a clear understanding why it was wrong and what I should do to correct and not make that mistake again. Like I said, Colin is very good at his job, and I will gladly recommend him to as many people as I know who are looking to learn how to drive!

I started driving just after my 17th birthday and at first I was unsure on whether I liked driving. I wasnt very good at first! But Colin gave me the confidence to drive, although it did take me a long time to get on a main road! We took the driving slow but eventually I had enough confidence to drive on the roads and soon I was taking my test. I passed on my first go with only 2 minors.

I started to learn with Colin a few months after my 17th birthday, having been too scared to get behind the wheel in case I killed something! I was quite a nervous driver as I had never driven at all before, but Colin was very patient with me and despite it taking me 5 lessons to get out onto the actual roads,I passed first time after about 23 hours with Colin. He let me practice and ask for help over and over again about things that I found hard, never getting impatient with my poor parallel parking skills or the fact that I always managed to be in the wrong lane for roundabouts (they still confuse me). What I liked best about learning with Colin was that he was happy to go at my pace, and by the time I took my test he had prepared me really well for it. Overall, I have already, and would again, recommend him as a patient, thorough and friendly instructor.
