Nicedrive

I passed my driving test with Nicedrive, first time, few days ago. My driving instructor Seamus is an excellent teacher. He was explaining everything very clearly, starting from the base. English is not my first language but he did explain me everything in easy way that I could understand it. After few hours of driving with him I could tell he has got a lot of experience and he is 100 % engaged with his job. He is professional and punctual. Seamus is very patient,easy to talk to and he has a sense of humor. Thanks to him I passed my driving test first time and he knew how to motivate me, he just helped me believe that I could do it. I was actually looking forward to my lessons, to learn more in a Nice, relaxing atmosphere. And what we learn with pleasure we never forget. I would definitely recommend Nicedrive and Seamus as a driving instructor to anyone who wants to pass the test for the first time and who wants to be a good driver in the future.Now I look forward to completing my PassPlus with him.Thank you Seamus!Moreexpand_more

I'm very happy as Seamus made me a better driver as he corrected my driving style and now I'm feeling more confident than ever before. I appreciate he was always on time or even earlier waiting for me. Thank you Seamus to make me get the Full Driving Licence at the first trial. Pablo.

Seasmus was the best instructor I could have hoped for. He was always on time, flexible and had endless patience. I really felt like he took his time in basing each lesson to my individual needs and could easily pick up on things I wasn't feeling so confident about and therefore help me overcome them. I passed my practical test first time with him. I thoroughly recommend Nice Drive!

I would definitely recommend learning to drive with Seamus (nice drive), he is extremely patient and teaches you a lot about driving for the rest of your life rather than just focusing on the test itself. I had a great experience learning from him as he was friendly, sympathetic towards the difficulties of driving and the lessons were always fun. The manoeuvres were broken down in a way that made it all seem very simple and easy to understand. Although I had many difficulties ‘reversing around the corner’, after Seamus had gone through the manoeuvre with me a few times I was able to do it correctly with no faults when I took my driving test. He managed to fit the driving lessons around my schedule and my difficult school hours. I really enjoyed learning with him and during lessons he made the most out of the time we had. Nice drive provides quality service and is value for money. I would highly recommend Seamus to anyone who wants to learn to drive or wants a new instructor. Looking forward to pass plus! Many Thanks!

Quite simply the best in the business that I have dealt with. I booked an intensive course with Seamus which involved me going from extremely nervous novice on a Monday to test capable and confident by the Friday, all in the accumulated space of less than 20 hours. Seamus' way of making the lessons bespoke and solely about the individual is refreshing to say the least. He will test you, and will tell you clearly and concisely where you are struggling, but he will work with you to rectify these and constantly remind you that he is not teaching you to pass a test, but to become a driver. Not once was his voice raised in aggression, and not once did I feel pressured by him. A fantastic teacher who is punctual, open-minded and easy to talk to, I cannot be more recommending of Seamus' capabilities. He boosted my confidence as well as my ability to drive and thanks to him, I passed my test.

Im so happy that I got Seamus as my instructor. The first time I met him I knew straight away he will help me pass the exam. I did not go anywhere else. Seamus was really patient with me and I really felt at ease with him. So dont go anywhere else! NICE DRIVE is the one for you!

I would highly recommend Nicedrive, Seamus is an excellent instructor and great value for money! I actually started to learn how to drive over a year ago with one of the bigger driving lesson companies! Big mistake, I booked a block of 10 lessons (paid a fortune! ) and vowed never to sit behind the wheel of a car again after the 6th lesson! My instructor was terrible, he would really put me on edge for the whole lesson, he would criticise but not in a constructive manner, there was some shouting on occasions, I felt I was being bullied around the road by other drivers and had no guidance in how to handle it! I would nearly have an anxiety attack before my lesson! So I just gave up! Last October a good friend of mine passed her test and recommended Nicedrive, I was a bit apprehensive but decided I’d give it another chance. Seamus is brilliant, he is straight down the line (no gimmicks to make you buy more lessons) you get his full attention and his mannerism is very pleasant and professional (good laugh too! ) He has the ability to point out your mistakes (constructively) while also developing your confidence, he is very patient and reassuring even when you make silly mistakes. The lessons are normally 2 hours long which I found to be a great help, each lesson I felt I was building on the previous one, in fact I was actually looking forward to my lessons (which I never thought would happen). Seamus explains things in a way that you see the “bigger picture” he is not just putting you through the motions, he is making you a good, safe and considerate driver. Delighted to say I passed my test this morning  Thank you so much Seamus for all your brilliant guidance and teaching, I won’t miss all the traveling from Bromley to Richmond for my lessons, but I’m glad I did, it was so worth it !Moreexpand_more

Seamus was given the challenge of teaching me how to drive. He was extremely patient with me, especially as I slowly became the nightmare student who reverted back to being a moody teenager every time I got in the car. He persisted to help me believe that I could do it and I passed my test second time round - I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking for a supportive, relaxed instructor who will give them the boost they need. Thanks very much Seamus for getting me through it!

Seamus was absolutely great. I had driven before and was let down by another driving school one week before my test. After panicking and phoning around trying to find someone to get me ready for my test Seamus took me on. What a great instructor I wished I had had him from the start. After a couple of lessons with him I passed. Many thanks Seamus you done me proud. Michael Roser.

I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Seamus. He was very patient(especially as I was unable to practice on my parents' cars between lessons)and straightforward and as a result, I can now drive comfortably on the roads! His explanations were very thorough yet concise which made it much easier for me to understand the rules of the road. I would definitely recommend Seamus highly as a driving instructor.

I would definitely recommend Seamus as a driving instructor. I had never driven before taking classes with Seamus and I was always stressed at the prospect of having to drive a car. During the process of learning, I didn’t have my parents’ car nor a person to drive with, so I learnt how to drive with Seamus from A to Z! Seamus made me really comfortable. He is very patient and supportive. English is not my first language, but Seamus was really clear in his explanations – and can repeat them ten times if needed! When I made mistakes, Seamus was not angry, he explained clearly what was wrong and always gives you ways to improve. Seamus knows his job – he is a really good teacher. When you learn how to drive, you also have to build confidence. I needed someone like Seamus who could “push” me, but I was never afraid when I drove with Seamus – and he knows you can do it before you even know it yourself!Learning how to drive is not an inexpensive thing – it costs money! But Seamus’ prices are actually cheaper than other independent instructors or schools of motoring. I passed first time ! I am really happy with that, but even happier because I know that, thanks to Seamus, I am now ready to drive on my own: Seamus taught me how to drive safely and I am 100% confident when driving.Moreexpand_more

Really thorough explanations of each manoeuvre and excellent understanding of the basics of driving which you build on each lesson. I feel I can drive very confidently now.

I would thoroughly recommend Seamus as a driving instructor. I found his style very helpful, he is extremely patient, but firm when needed. Seamus is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, he clearly understands how to teach effectively and his kind manner is exactly what is needed when learning to drive from scratch. I feel lucky to have been taught by Seamus, as I feel that I have become a safe, competent and confident driver. I have had an incredibly tough year with two significant bereavements whilst I was learning to drive, and Seamus was extremely sensitive and kind, being thoughtful in terms of when I could and could not take lessons. I would so far to say that keeping going with my lessons with his gentle support was what helped me through a very difficult time. Now that I have passed my test, I am thrilled and delighted but also a tiny bit sad as I won't see him! I would have no doubts whatsoever in recommending Seamus, especially if you have never driven before or maybe anxious, you could ask for nothing more from an instructor.

I've had too many driving instructors and lessons and can honestly say Seamus is the best by far. I knew I was going to pass with him, and I did. Many, many thanks Seamus :-).

To pass your driving test you need a good driving instructor, but to become a good driver you need an instructor like Seamus. Right from the first session he has focussed on basics of driving. He highlights your mistakes without fail and aims to rectify them with each lesson. Undoubtedly a good tutor who knows how to describe scenarios, how to explain the behavior of driver and how to change bad driving habits. I passed in the first attempt and my fewer faults in the actual test were on the same places which Seamus pointed out during lessons. He has a better eye than examiner and that helps you in preparation of your driving test. He is very flexible with the timings so you get many options with time slots. I would highly recommend Seamus to anyone to wants to learn driving or just want to clear their test. Thanks Seamus for making me a somewhat better driver and getting driving licence.Moreexpand_more

Seamus is very kind ans shows concern. Not too stressful. Patient teaching. I'd certainly recommend him. Chutima.

A big THANK YOU to Seamus who was a great instructor. He was really easy to get on with, very supportive, very patient and didn't get angry at mistakes. I passed first time and completed my Pass Plus and would highly recommend him.

I passed my test first time in Hayes this afternoon with Seamus. He is a very good instructor very thorough and really knows what he's talking about. Seamus is good at picking up on what you need to work on as an individual. Great instructor I would recommend Seamus to anybody. .

Seamus was a really good instructor and was more than happy to go over certain aspects of driving that I had difficulty with many times. My sister was also taught by him and passed first time. All round great service.

When I joined Nicedrive, I told Seamus I have one and half months for lessons since I would be going abroad for a month. His response was, "That's enough time to pass the test" and as it turned out I passed the test within a month (in fact, I preponed my test and passed it). Looking back, I see many reasons for Nicedrive giving best results in shortest time :1) Working towards rectifying even the minor faults from day one. 2) After every lesson I received a mail summarizing my learning for the day and also score till date, which gave me overall picture of learning curve on day to day basis. 3) Segregating weak points and strong points of my driving, making it easier to work upon the skills which needed improvement. 4) Taking few mock tests before the actual test, giving a feel of the test even before I went for it, therefore on real test, I did't feel that much pressure. 5 ) Last but not the least , the level of driving standard set by Nicedrive is higher than actual test therefore when you go for test it seems like a cakewalk. As Seamus says, learning driving is not only for test it's for life long safety of yourselves and others on the road. This approach not only help you passing your test, it makes you a better driver. Thank you Seamus! For helping me get rid of my bad driving habits and pass the test in short span of time. I am looking forward to do PassPlus with you once back from my trip :).Moreexpand_more
