Dave the GOAT

Dave is actually the most W driving instructor. Genuinely amazing. It's sad I can't see more of him because he helped me pass my driving test first time, after only having lessons for a little over 3 months. He is great, really encouraging, and never doubted me. He is also really nice guy to talk to and is just really cool. He is very understanding and doesn't force you into unwanted situations. Honestly I don't think there is anyone better for the job. HEAVILY recommend this guy.

Great instructor

I recently passed my test after learning with Stewart Price. I’m a very anxious driver and he had so much patience with me and was always so reassuring. It helped to have an instructor who knew when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed so we’d stop driving and have a chat about my concerns and fears. I’ve gone from being someone who was scared about starting the engine to being a confident driver! Thanks so much, Stew 🙂

Big Thanks to Fordys and Tony b my instructor

If you are about to do any lessons I 100% advise everyone to go with Fordys. I passed first time with Tony B. Best instructor I could of have had made everything easy to understand never a negative word come from him and he 100% knows when you are test ready. My nerves was really bad on test day but Tony took my mind off everything he gave me a bottle of water we had a laugh and joke and then I passed the guy is a legend thanks Tony

Best instructor and best company!

I really enjoy my lessons with Marc. They was a fun and chilled. Marc is a really nice guy who helps no matter what the problem is. He is a good teacher, he really got patience to keep going over anything if you need it.
He knew I would pass and I DID!!
THANK YOU!
It is a really good company to get your lessons from. If I have to do my lesson again I will go with Marc and this company.
I will recommend to everyone I know that wants lessons.

Great instructors!

My instructor, Dave, was incredibly supportive, patient, and helpful throughout my learning journey. He always listened to my needs and tailored each lesson to suit my progress and areas for improvement. Having had experience with other driving schools and instructors before, I can honestly say I was grateful to find someone so understanding and encouraging.
Even after I failed my driving test, Dave continued to motivate and support me, helping me build my confidence and not give up. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I eventually passed my test. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.
