SOPHIE ELGAR
Passed first time

Sophie started learning to drive with her mum and after regular practise she soon achieved a really good standard. At that point her mum contacted me via my website and asked if I could assess Sophieīs driving and let her know how many lessons would be required to reach test standard? We mainly concentrated on mirrors, reversing manoeuvres, parking & local knowledge of the driving test routes. After about 10 hours of lessons in her own car, Sophie took her practical test and passed 1st time with only 5 minor driving faults! īThank you very much for teaching me and all your helpī īMum will get in touch with you when my brother needs lessonsī

Moving to London after leaving school meant I never really needed to drive which suited me fine having been in a few scary car accidents. They left me a pretty nervous passenger and I never thought I would become a confident driver. With Colinīs very patient and thorough instruction I really felt ready for my test which I passed first time! It wasnīt easy trying to fit lessons into my busy schedule which involves commuting to London every day, and weekends away but Colin was extremely accommodating and kept me on track and making progress. I couldnīt recommend Colin as an instructor more highly. He is 100% reliable, has patience in abundance and we also managed to have a bit of a laugh which made the lessons enjoyable even when they were hard work. I am so grateful for having met Colin, I think Iīm going to miss my lessons!

After a number of years of on and off learning, at 29 it was time to actually stop messing around and get on with it. I booked up the test and hunted around for an instructor and found Colin! Within a short period of Colinīs guidance I was apparently up to speed (I wasnīt convinced if that was up to the speed limit or knowing everything I needed to know for the test) The test day came and to add more pressure my Examiner was being check tested, so I also had a Supervising Examiner sitting in the back! A scary 40 minutes passed and to my surprise Iīd done it, only 1 minor driving fault! Thanks Colin for all your help, Iīm sure this would have been a different story without you. Bring on Pass Plus!

Having already taken and failed my test once, I decided to find another driving instructor, essentially one who could help calm my nerves whilst driving!. After one lesson with Colin I new Iīd found exactly what I was looking and hoping for in an instructor, he made me feel at ease whilst driving, with patience, clear instruction and nerves of steel! I eventually passed my test and am now looking forward to some motorway lessons as soon as Iīve had more practice. Iīd recommend Colin as a number 1 choice to anybody in the area looking for driving lessons.......and heīs also a good laugh!

After failing my test twice at the age of 17, I lost confidence that I would ever be able to drive. But 17 years later after having a baby, I realised that I desperately needed to get my license and my independence so I booked a course of lessons with Colin. Driving did not come naturally to me but Colin was such a good teacher because he explained things clearly (with the help of useful pictures and diagrams), was able to explain things in different ways, not to mention the fact that he was so unbelievably patient! He prepared me well for my test, only putting me in for it when he felt I was ready, and thanks to his help I passed straight away with only 2 minors! Most importantly, after having passed my test I really do feel confident to drive on my own or with my baby in the back, and having my independence is priceless to me -thatīs all down to Colin, so thanks very much!
