I had a great experience learning with Gino Gizzi

I had a great experience learning with Gino Gizzi. He is a patient and supportive instructor who made a big difference in my driving journey. From the beginning, he created a calm and encouraging environment, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel.

Gino explains things clearly and takes the time to make sure you fully understand each step, rather than rushing through lessons. Even when I made mistakes, he remained calm and constructive, which made it much easier to improve without feeling stressed.

Thanks to his guidance and teaching approach, I was able to pass my driving test successfully. I would highly recommend Gino Gizzi to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and patient driving instructor.

Malcolm Collins

I’ve had some difficult experiences with driving instructors in the past, where negative comments really affected my confidence. Learning with Malcolm has been a completely different experience.
He is consistently positive, motivating, and knows how to challenge me in a constructive way.

One of the things I appreciate most is how he helps me manage and reduce my anxiety while driving, creating an environment where I feel supported rather than judged.

Malcolm plans each lesson carefully, but what really sets him apart is his flexibility. If I recognise that I’m struggling with something or need extra practice, he’s more than willing to adapt the lesson to focus on that. This approach has made a huge difference in my progress and confidence.

I would highly recommend Malcolm to anyone, especially if you’ve struggled with confidence or anxiety when learning to drive.

Great instructors

I passed my practical test with Gino as my instructor and he was fantastic. He gave very clear explanations and was consistently helpful throughout lessons, I feel his approach to teaching has made me a better driver post passing my test then I would be otherwise.

Excellent Instructor and quick onboarding!

Mushtaq (Mush) is without question the best driving instructor in the world! Thanks to his expert guidance, I passed my automatic test first time. His patience, dedication, and innovative teaching techniques — including filming lessons and providing detailed driving commentary — made all the difference. He creates a calm, supportive learning environment while pushing you to improve every lesson. I couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you, Mush!

I passed my driving test first time

I passed my driving test first time in January and wanted to give my instructor Malcolm a massive thank you for all of his help and support. Malcolm took the time to understand how I learn best and accommodated it, answering my many many questions very patiently. He's helped me develop a really secure foundation for independent driving and I would recommend him for anyone learning manual in the Newport area.

Wonderful experience, worth every penny!

I worked with Malcom for a number of months, learning how to drive from beginning to end. The experience was great, I was met with constructive criticism and patience. I enjoyed the experience and I was able to pass my driving test and get my licence! Thank you Malcom

Recently passed my practical test first…

Recently passed my practical test first time after lessons with Malcolm. Would highly recommend him to other learners especially those who are a bit nervous about driving like I was when I first started. Malcolm was great at explaining all aspects of driving whether verbally or with the trusty white board and it's thanks to him that I feel confident to drive. He's really knowledgeable about driving in Cardiff and that helped greatly for my test.

First time pass with Chi!

Achieved a first time pass today with Chi in Newport. Chi is a truly amazing instructor who genuinely cares about his pupils. His structured lessons and patience gave me the confidence I needed to pass. It took me a while to get comfortable behind the wheel, but Chi somehow managed to teach me how to calm down, and make me laugh at the same time. I am going to miss our Tuesday mornings. Thank you so much Chi!
