Alec Automatic Driving Instructor

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 is easy going and calm, Alec easily identifies learning styles and adapts his teaching well to suit the needs of the student.

110% recommend Alec, he’s so lovely, kind, calm and knowledgeable! Can’t thank him enough for the confidence he’s given me to drive! Thanks again Alec.

Great instructor, always happy to accommodate. Easy to talk to and very supportive.

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!

Alec’s passion in teaching safe and responsible driving skills to learners is top notch and should be commended. I am Particularly grateful for helping me get better with my maneuvers , right positioning and steering safely amongst others.

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!

Great instructor and worked hard to accommodate the times I could have lessons. Passed with no minors within 4 months of my first lesson, very happy!

Great driving instructor, I was very nervous to start driving but Alec was very good and helped me gain more confidence with every lesson. I have just passed my test first time .

Extremely good instructor and nice person to be around, Always helpful and supportive.

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

Alec is a reliable and knowledgeable Sri big instructor. He made sure I was well prepared for driving on my own and for my test. He made sure to teach me all the skills I would need for driving including dual carriageways even though I wouldn’t not be tested in them. He turned up to every lesson and found time to fit me in for extra lessons when he could. With Alec’s help I was able to pass my test first time with only two driver faults. Thanks Alec.

Alec took me as a student, and I started being a very nervous student. I had been with various drivers before Alec and was pretty much ready to give up after so many lessons and instructors… however, I passed my test today after 8 years of trying after only a few months driving with Alec! His patience, courage, and way of teaching is the reason I passed today, and I would have never of done it without him! I would recommend Alec to anyone that is wanting to drive, but definitely if you are a nervous student that needs a new way of teaching.

Alec is hands down the best driving instructor there is. I’ve had some horrible experiences in the past but he always put me at ease, was understanding when I needed a moment to breathe and overall is the sole reason I managed to pass my test, even with anxiety! Incredibly friendly, brilliant value for money and has the best method of teaching for people who tend to get a bit confused with specifics like myself. Highly recommend. 10/10!

I had 0 confidence when I first started driving due to a bad instructor before hand, alec was amazing and sure knows his stuff and helped me fly through my theory test, his patience was definitely key for me as he needed alot with me. I done 20 lessons with alec and passed 1st time, I couldn't of asked for a better instructor so if you have no confidence or need a instructor with patience and takes the time to help you with not only the driving side but theory aswel then alec is your man. I'm forever grateful for his time. Although I do miss having a laugh with him too.

Alec is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable driving instructor. He makes sure to take you through each new topic at a pace that suits your learning and teaches in a way that eliminates any potential bad habits a driver could have. He is very patient and always explains things in a way that simplifies it for the learner using his impeccable knowledge of the highway code. With Alec I managed to pass my test first time with only 2 minors.

Alec Hatwood is a very good driving instructor. He took me through everything stage by stage and broke it down for me in ways that i would understand and focus on. He has a great personality and very easy to talk to if there is something you don't fully understand. I found Alec very knowledgeable of everything to with the highway code. With his guidance i passed my test first time with only 2 miner point.

I had tried a couple of different instructors and stuck with Alec because he had the right mix of everything a good instructor should have. He is very knowledgeable and logical and brings a structured and manageable approach to each lesson. He tailors everything to your personal driving style and needs and is approachable, professional and very calm at all times. Overall I would defintiely recommend Alec to anyone wanting to learn.

Alec is an excellent driving instructor. He is a very patient teacher which always helps when learning to drive. Before starting anything new, Alec would always explain everything and use easy to follow diagrams so I was always well prepared. I'm really happy with the quality of the teaching Alec provided and feel that it's made me a safe confident driver.
