Alec is incredible person. He was very helpful and patient. He is very nice instructor. I have passed the exam on my first attempt. I really recommend him.

I have only had two lessons so far, but I can honestly say Alec is really hitting the mark, with his relaxed style of teaching. I love the fact that he lets you keep in control of how you want to learn, and he just seems to know each individuals strengths and weaknesses. I do struggle with mental health issues and was house bound for over 8 years, and I never thought someone could make me feel at ease so quickly. His confidence and the confidence he gives you to learn a new skill, and to make you truly believe that this is not a pipe dream you can really do this, that's worth the price of the lesson alone. If I can start to learn new skills, this is a positive step towards your own recovery, please give it a go, I understand how hard the first step is to take, its massive but its well worth giving it a go, and if its not for you, at least you can say, yeah I took the first step and if that's all you can manage, well its the first step of many.

Alec is a phenomenal driving instructor. Throughout my time on driving lessons Alec was always incredibly patient and was always happy to re-explain things in several different ways: speech, visually, drawing and demonstration. Alec is also very consistent in his approach and would often repeat concepts and key phrases. This approach worked really well for me as a dyslexic individual. Overall Alec has helped me to build my confidence with driving, if you live in Melton and want to start lessons, go with Alec!

Alec is great at filling the air in the car and putting you at ease, and helped me with nerves from failed attempts in the past (followed by a long delay). I got much better over a few months with Alec, and passed today on the first attempt under him. Thanks for all your help Alec.

I would highly recommend Alec for anyone who is learning to drive. From the first lesson, everything is tailored to the way you learn best. Alec is extremely patient and understanding, fun to talk to and willing to help to the best of his ability. Throughout my course we have covered everything possible to help me feel confident on the road. I have truly enjoyed learning how to drive, thanks to him! Thank you so much Alec :).

I've been trying to learn to drive for years, today I passed. Literally could not of done it with anyone else but Alec I'm dyslexic with a bit of dyspraxia thrown in. Alec is brilliant at slowly reworking a and tuning your brain (like a engine) You will learn so much without realizing it everything is perfectly well thought out and if you don't understand he always has another way or method. He's very calming and keeps you at ease and isn't afraid for you to be yourself. Very punctual and respectful. He got me something I never thought I'd get today and he made it look easy. Thank you again Alec Life changing.

Alec’s a great driving instructor – super patient, easy to talk to, and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. He helped me feel way more confident behind the wheel and made the whole learning process way less stressful. I always felt like I was making progress each lesson. Definitely recommend him if you’re looking to learn with someone calm and chill!

Alec is an incredible instructor! He’s patient, knowledgeable, and knows exactly how to build your confidence behind the wheel. When I started, I had zero experience and was convinced I’d never pass my test. But thanks to Alec’s guidance (and a whole lot of patience), I not only passed on my first try but did it in just a few months! If he can teach me, he can teach anyone—highly recommend!

After taking almost 10 years to learn to drive on and off, I found myself growing in confidence very quickly being instructed by. Alec allowed me to learn in a way that suited my neurodiversity and worked with me through understanding and patience. Truly, the best automatic driving instructor, and one that I would recommend to all!

I recently had the pleasure of taking automatic driving lessons with Alec, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the onset, Alec demonstrated an unparalleled level of patience and expertise, making every lesson both enjoyable and highly effective. His ability to tailor his teaching methods to address various challenges I faced was particularly impressive, ensuring a personalised learning journey that was instrumental in my development as a driver. One of the highlights of my training was the mock test Alec did prior to my actual driving test. This was a first in my learning experience, as none of my previous instructors had incorporated such a practical and beneficial exercise. The mock test not only helped in alleviating my pre-test anxieties but also provided a clear insight into my strengths and areas needing further attention. This strategic approach further contributed to me passing the driving test on my first attempt with Alec. Moreover, Alec's accommodating nature stood out, especially as the test date approached. He went above and beyond to schedule additional lessons, ensuring I was fully prepared and confident. This level of dedication and support was invaluable and greatly appreciated. For those contemplating the transition to automatic driving and seeking a seamless, supportive, and effective learning experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Alec. His expertise, coupled with his patient and adaptive teaching style, makes him an ideal instructor for anyone aiming to achieve their driving ambitions stress-free. .Moreexpand_more
