NICCI BROWN

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 can´t 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 didn´t 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!

Passed first time

I had previously been practising in my own car with my dad but needed to make sure that I was driving to current test standards. Colin quickly helped me achieve that by offering driving lessons on Sundays which was very convenient. I was really pleased to pass my test 1st time with 7 minor driving faults. My boss was also delighted because I can now drive the works van, which could result in a pay rise!

I´ve had a number of driving instructors over the years. When I found Colin, I stayed put. He swiftly assessed my strengths, the areas I needed to work upon and bought to life the rules of the road. Add to this the patience of a saint and a liberal dash of good humour. I actually enjoyed the previously tedious process of learning to drive. I´d recommend Colin to anyone, whether taking the wheel for the first time or coming back to driving. Colin did not pay me to say this.
