Mike is such and amazing instructor, I’ve known him for years and years and years so it was really easy just to hop in the car every lesson, learn with him and chat with him - keeping every lesson as stress free as possible, I stressed myself out before every lesson but as soon as I got in the seat and started driving it took me 2 minutes to calm down and realise it was a normal thing and I could do it. Quickly, those months flew by, it felt as if I had learnt the basics so quick, then when we got on to the trickier stuff Mike would always break everything down into steps, show me the perfect example and coach me in all the maneuverers. Even when i failed my first test he was always so nice and kind, making sure I didn’t beat myself up - he helped me look for the positives even though I couldn’t, then every lesson after that he made double sure I would pass my next one! I loved learning to drive with Mike, highly, highly recommend him / the company as a whole too, I’m so glad / lucky to be taught by him.

Passed second time with Paul. Great instructor, encouraging, and confidence-boosting. Allows for silence and focus, but also a conversation when the driving is more relaxed. Definitely recommend, it's been a great!

Mark is an incredible instructor. Not only is he thorough and genuinely wants to teach you to be the best and safest driver you can, he also makes each lesson as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. He doesn’t just teach you how to pass, he really teaches you how to drive and now that I’ve passed I feel 100% confident in my ability going forward. I would recommend this driving school to everyone learning and it’s worth driving the extra half an hour from where I live just to meet him! Thank you Mark for all of your hard work, I’ll miss you!
Owner's reply

I honestly couldn’t recommend Mark highly enough! I came to Mark after having previously learnt to drive in London, but without ever quite feeling confident or comfortable behind the wheel. Switching to an automatic and starting again with Mark was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the very beginning, Mark was incredibly thoughtful about the way he taught. He has a brilliant way of explaining things clearly and calmly, without ever making you feel silly for asking questions or getting something wrong. He really took the time to understand how I learnt best and, most importantly, helped me build my confidence rather than simply teaching me how to pass a test. I definitely had a few wobbles along the way, and Mark was always brilliant at meeting me where I was whether that was feeling nervous, frustrated or having a particularly good day! He was incredibly patient, supportive and encouraging, and somehow managed to make even the stressful moments feel manageable. Mark has been a fantastic instructor, but also just a really lovely person to spend time with. I’m very grateful for all his patience, encouragement, and wisdom, and… after passing my driving test today I can say he has made me a much more confident driver! If you’re feeling nervous or lacking confidence about driving, I honestly couldn’t recommend Mark enough. Thank you, Mark! 🚗👏🏻

We’d be delighted to answer your questions on an initial free & no obligation call.
Here are some FAQ’s to start with
How many lessons do I need to pass my test?
On average, learner drivers tend to require between 40 and 60 hours behind the wheel – a mixture of being with a professional driving instructor and private practice. However, each student is different and will learn at their own pace. We will tailor your lessons to you, ensuring that you become confident behind the wheel and feel ready to take your test as soon as possible.
How long do lessons last?
Standard lessons are either for 1 hour or 1.5 hours, starting from your home, workplace or other agreed pickup place. Many students feel that 1 hour is too short and 2 hours is too long, while the 1.5 hour sessions provide the right balance for the best learning experience. The only requirement before learning to drive with a driving school is to acquire a provisional licence. You can apply online or pick up a form from your local Post Office.
How often should I have lessons?
It is important to have lessons on a regular basis in order to build up your driving skills and confidence while maintaining the skills you are learning. It is best to have lessons at least once a week, and many students prefer to have two or three lessons each week. If you are interested in learning to drive as quickly as possible, we offer intensive driving courses.
What happens if I need to cancel my lesson?
Please note, you will be charged for the lesson if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the lesson start time, as there is not enough time to fill the space left by your late cancellation.
Do I need to have passed my Theory Test before I start my driving lessons?
No, you don’t need to pass before you drive. It’s a good thing to do this as you learn so what you read about you can see out on the road while you have your lessons
Are the lessons in a manual or automatic car?
We offer both manual and automatic driving lessons.
