David's knowledge and experience equipped me to pass my driving test first time despite being very nervous. His teaching style is calm and informative while also being very friendly, he has a lot of patience, was very encouraging and his communication was clear. He adapted his teaching the closer we got to the test day as I got more anxious and worried. I would highly recommend him.
Response : Hi AliyaThanks for taking time to write a review, much appreciated. All the hard work is down to you, a fantastic result on test is all your hard work paying off.

David is an amazing instructor. He is always punctual and he teaches in a friendly way. He uses illustrations as well to help us understand the skills more. Every lesson was fun and enjoyable. He helped me to boost my confidence in driving. Within two months I was able to gain all the skills necessary to pass the test. Today, I passed my test with a clean sheet. I was so happy as it was my first attempt. I did my pass plus training also with him. His guidance helped me to boost my confidence in motorway driving. Thanks again David.Moreexpand_more
