From starting my lessons at the end of may to being passed in August, what more is there to say !
He’s patient, calm and a joy to have had as my instructor.
Russ deserves a medal for putting up with me waffling on every lesson and I couldn’t thank him enough for the help and skills he’s provided to get me to a first time pass :)

I have been learning with Russ since October last year, and has helped me pass first time with his thorough teaching methods.
Russ is patient, knowledgeable, and offers all the tools required to pass. He covers every aspect of driving, pays excellent attention to detail and always ensures everything is understood.
