Passed first time

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!

Well what can I say? I couldnīt have asked for a better instructor than Colin! Eager to start driving as soon as I turned 17, Colin was recommended through a friend and I am so glad he was! I found that he was constantly helpful, kind and unbelievably patient the whole way through. From lesson one he was friendly and taught you every aspect of driving. With his handy folder of visual explanations and his encouraging descriptions of manoeuvres or how to do things, it made understanding and picking everything up much easier. I found I was looking forward to every lesson and was soon labelled as the īmost enthusiastic learnerī and I do believe that I enjoyed it as much as I did due to Colinīs teaching methods and genuine personality! I found that he gave me the confidence in my own driving ability and was reassuringly calm, even on the occasional off-driving day. After about 25 hours of lessons, a check test and a mock test later I passed first time with only 2 minors!I can honestly say that I had such a fantastic driving experience learning with Colin and would without a doubt recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional, reliable and helpful instructor. Colin teaches you not just to pass but to drive safely and confidently, and for that thank you so much!
