Where do I begin. Andy instantly makes you feel at ease, he is laid back, friendly and incredibly patient. If it wasn't for Andy's patience and calm presence I wouldn't have coped with learning how to drive, due to severe anxiety. I had never driven before and learned solely with Andy. I will miss my weekly lessons, having a laugh and gaining confidence week be week. Thanks to Andy I passed my test first time this morning!

I have always suffered with terrible anxiety almost my entire life, and being on the road only amplified that. I was petrified as a learner, and always doubted myself, but when I found 5th Gear driving with Andy I couldn’t help but feel at ease as Andy was so calm, confident and laid-back. I was so worried I would never be able to believe in myself enough to become a user of the road; I thought the dream was entirely out of my reach, but with Andy behind me it didn’t take me long to grow a determination within myself I never thought possible. If you ever needed a confidence boost or a laugh to relax, Andy is your guy, but will always guide you on where you’re going right or wrong. He has a friendly chatty personality that one can easily click with, oftentimes I’d forget I was on a driving lesson, it just felt like I was driving with a really great friend. Andy changed my life around by believing and pushing my to my greatest potential, and not allowing limiting beliefs to hold me back. Now I have my freedom and independence as a road-user. Thank you for opening my eyes, will always be thankful to Andy.

I was a difficult learner but Andy never gave up on me and kept encouraging me not to give up as this was the norm when learning to drive. The tuition was second to none and I will always recommend anyone I know to 5th gear. To those who want to learn how to drive safely and pass at a LOW COST 5th Gear is your choice. RESPECT. Hebson.
Response : Thank-you Hebson, and your wasent a difficult Learner at all. I was a pleasure teaching you and wish you all the best for the future.

I passed my test first time with Andy. He's an excellent teacher, keeps you relaxed and explains everything brilliantly! Will definitely recommend to everyone!

Would definitely recommend Andy to anyone who is looking to start driving lessons. He makes you feel at ease behind the wheel after the first lesson and prepares you well for your test. If I ever had to do it all again I would pick Andy without a second thought.

Amazing! I couldn't of wished for a better instructor he listens and understands where your going wrong and guides you through the passing process. I passed yesterday and couldn't be happier but it's all thanks to Andy. Chloe stolarski.

While taking my lessons with 5th gear I felt so much more relaxed and comfortable than previous instructors. I was able to enjoy learning to drive. I could see progress through each lesson. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to learn how to drive.

After being let down (badly) by other instructors I came to Andy, I must say that this is 1 diamond fella who helped me loads, patient and understanding. He is a man who doesn't rip you off and knows when your ready for your test. I passed 1st time with the help of this gentleman. Would defiantly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn.
Ruth Chukwuma

I came to Andy after a previous instructor and I immediately felt confident base on the way Andy teaches me, He always went over every mistakes to make sure you get it. Andy is very patient, funny and keeps to time. I have already recommended Andy to my Husband and will recommend him to anyone.
Sam Bull
Corby
Andi is an amazing instructor who straight away identifies your week areas and gets to work on them straight away if you have drove before, however if you are only starting to learn now I highly recommend Andi to be your instructor because the atmosphere in the car whilst learning is amazing you feel relaxed and you know if you do something wrong he will help you correct it straight away. Overall he is an amazing instructor and if you want to pass first time with ease give him a call thanks sam.
