No pressure through learning

Didn’t have many lessons prior to Andy black instructing me . Calm cool and composed instructor which made driving a lot easier with clear calm instructions on lessons.
Definitely recommend to other learners.

better driving instructor

My driving instructor, Andrew Black, is very clear and simple with his words making the lessons easier to understand and less stressful. He handles situations in a calm matter and is able to tell me what I'm doing wrong in a way I can understand. I find the lessons fun and enjoyable, making me look for to each one. I would definitely recommend if you find the idea of driving overwhelming, as they have made me more confident to drive in the future!

I passed my test first time today with Dan’s help!

I couldn’t recommend a better driving instructor, I started my lessons with Dan and due to moving out of the area I stopped. When I restarted learning I had a really difficult time with a different instructor, I called Dan and explained and even though I was out of his area he made the effort to come down to me to help me before my test. He has boosted my confidence and made learning to drive a joy. I am extremely grateful and would recommend him to any new drivers out there!

I started my driving lessons with Better Driver Training with Daniel Hose as my instructor

I started my driving lessons with Better Driver Training in December 2024, with Daniel Hose as my instructor. As a first-time driver with no prior experience, I am thrilled to have passed my driving test on my first attempt. Dan was incredibly helpful in building my confidence behind the wheel. He made me feel comfortable on the road by providing clear guidance throughout the lessons. Dan was professional and focused on giving me constructive feedback on both my strengths and areas for improvement. His patience and support were instrumental in helping me achieve this milestone. A big shout out to him for his dedication and assistance!

Better Driving, Better life!

I passed my driving test on my first try with Dan! I had two other driving instructors before him, but my driving skills really improved after I started working with him. He’s so encouraging, which helps me build confidence. Dan is the best driving instructor you can find in the local area. He’s practical, patient, knowledgeable, and caring. Every lesson with him is a solid learning experience. Not only did I learn how to drive, but I also learned how to be a good driver who can actually handle the situations that happen on the road. I would definitely recommend Dan and Better Driving School to anyone who’s looking to pass their test or become a better driver!

Would highly recommend!

Dan was the only instructor I’ve had who actually made driving make sense. I definitely wouldn’t have passed first time if it wasn’t for him. Would recommend him to anyone who is learning to drive!
