Adam Steele Driving School

I couldn't recommend Adam more - patience of a saint, always calm, and somehow never fazed no matter what chaos I threw his way. Always on time and always in a good mood. If its summer he'll be in shorts, if its not summer he'll also be in shorts, if its snowing he'll be in jeans (as it should be). Every lesson was a good time, and thanks to him, I passed my test first time without a single minor! Even the examiner (who, let’s be honest, not known for smiles) said it was a pleasure and that Adam had done an amazing job—so it’s not just me! If you’re looking for a driving instructor, I would pick Adam 100 times over. He's a great teacher, and I would highly recommended!

I couldn’t recommend Adam enough to anyone starting lessons. He is extremely patient, calm and encouraging. My friend recommended Adam as I was nervous to start lessons again and he was fantastic from the beginning. He explained everything clearly, taking the time to make sure I understood, and made me feel that I could ask any questions. He is reliable and always early for lessons. Adam has helped me to build my confidence which has now allowed me to pass my practical test, which he went out of his way to arrange as I had booked it last minute.

Adam is a great instructor, he always explained everything clearly and was always calm and patient. He definitely helped me feel safe and confident when driving. Also he was very flexible with lesson times and always on time. I would definitely recommend him.

Adam is a great driving instructor and helped me to pass my test first time. I only started learning to drive in my late thirties, and Adam helped me build my confidence and develop consistently strong skills acroass all areas of driving. He is very patient and a really nice bloke too. Highly recommended!

Great teacher, great guy! Highly recommend booking in with Adam!

Adam is a great driving instructor pushing me to be the best driver I can be, always patient and reassuring throughout the lesson also always being early and able to accommodate for last minute lesson ect.

Adam is a great instructor. Always keeps you within your comfort zone while pushing you to improve each lesson. Arrives early or on time for lessons and went out of his way to accommodate a last minute test that I booked. Good value for money and a very nice bloke; highly recommend.

Couldn't recommend Adam enough to anyone - he couldn't have done anymore! From the first lesson right to my test he remained extremely calm, patient and encouraging throughout. Being someone who doubts themselves, Adam's encouragement was hugely valued. I wouldn't have had a chance at passing first time (which I did with confidence! ) without his continuous support. His welcoming/kind approach made it extremely easy to ask any questions I had, always explaining them thoroughly and clearly. Along with this, came a lot of time which he gave so generously - including outside of lessons as well if I had any doubts/questions. Very reliable in terms of punctuality/dates etc - never had a change of plan once! He went above and beyond any 'expectation' I had about driving lessons and was truly the biggest help to me!I greatly enjoyed my driving lessons with Adam - and as said above, he quite literally couldn't have done anymore. Thank you for everything!Moreexpand_more

I just passed my driving practical first time with Adam and he's been great from start to finish. I started learning as a nervous 30 year old and Adam was so patient and considerate. His flexibility with lesson times made it easy to not miss a lesson and I swear the man never takes time off! By the time I went to my test (approx. 10 months after starting but I had no indepedent driving with another party to practice), I felt confident and prepared. Thanks Adam!

Adam is a great instructor. Very calm and reassuring. He helped me become a safe and confident driver!

Adam is an absolutely great driving instructor. I was a very nervous / anxious driver, and he helped me gain a lot of confidence, and made me feel at ease when learning to drive. He is patient, calm and just a genuinely lovely guy. When I moved out of York (due to Covid-19), I had to take my test elsewhere - Adam stayed in touch and continued to help me where he could. Could not recommend him enough. Thanks for everything Adam!

Adam helped me pass first time with few minor errors in my test. He’s has guided me into becoming an all round better driver and would definitely recommend him to others.

Adam is a brilliant driving instructor, friendly, with a very calm demeanor - perfect for anyone who is nervous about getting started. My development was well paced, I progressed with every lesson and never felt that I was in a situation that I was not comfortable with. As with many other reviewers here, I passed the test at the first attempt. Adam teaches people to drive, not just to scrape through a test. This will set you up for better, safer driving in the long-term, and will probably get you fully licensed sooner than taking tests too early. Adam was on top of all the basic but important stuff: Lessons were arranged with clear communication, he turned up on time, every time, from a place that was convenient for me, and his car was clean and pleasant to be in. My lessons in Summer-Autumn 2019 were taught in a manual petrol-powered Suzuki Swift.

Adam was recommended to me by a friend. He was a very good instructor. He helped me pass my driving test first time. He is very punctual and flexible with lesson times. Would definitely recommend.

I was recommended Adam by a friend. Adam is very clear and thorough with his tuition. He was very flexible and punctual with his lesson times which was perfect for me. He helped me pass first time with no minors ! I will certainly be recommending Adam for anybody looking for a driving instructor in the York area.

Adam is a great instructor who is patient, calm and reliable. I was a very nervous and apprehensive driver who lacked confidence and had no real driving ability. With each lesson I feel my confidence has grown leaps and bounds, not just my driving skills but also been able to tackle any problems you may find on the road safely. Adam is a fantastic instructor who builds your confidence with every lesson, I passed the driving test first time today. Highly recommended.

I passed my driving test first time with 0 driving faults and I would highly recommend Adam to anyone learning to drive! Calm, patient, reliable and an all round nice guy he taught me how to drive confidently and above all else he never pushed me into doing something that he didn’t feel I was ready to do yet! He is a brilliant instructor and a great guy, would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

I would recommend Adam to absolutely everyone, he is extremely patient and always makes sure that lessons are tailored to your abilities. Thanks for all your support and time you spent teaching me to drive.

I cannot recommend Adam enough. I came to driving in my late thirties after having some bad experiences of learning, but Adam's patience, clear explanations and professionalism have helped me to pass my test today with only one driving fault. He has always been punctual, flexible and great value, helping me to fit in regular lessons around full time work. I feel I have received excellent tuition from Adam, and I'm so glad I found an instructor so able to do the job well. Thanks!

Adam is a very calm and encouraging driving instructor who has helped me to pass my driving test. He is very good at explaining things carefully and makes sure you understand before hand.
