Ellie Sharples
Manchester
Geoff is an amazing instructor who has built up my confidence right from the very start. I couldn’t have picked a better instructor to have helped me learn everything I know. I have loved having my lessons with Geoff and I am going to miss them lots.
Ellie-May Taylor
Middleton
Geoff has been the best! He always made me feel at ease in the car, let me go at my own pace and has helped me with things I struggled with helping me through different learning styles that suited me, helped me feel more confident focussing on things I was weaker at each lesson to make them strengths, I would recommend Geoff to anybody! ThankYou Geoff couldn’t have done it without you.
Response : Thanks Ellie May, really enjoyed our time together, you improved gradually over the time and became a really good confident driver which was great to see, good luck with everything for the future, safe driving when you get a car.
Jessica Driffield

I had my lessons with Geoff, who was recommended by many people, and I passed first time. He helped me through anything I needed more practice on from beginning to end. He stayed very calm and corrected me on anything I did wrong. Geoff is Very lovely and I would definitely recommend him to other people. Wouldn’t of passed without him! Thank you again Geoff! Will miss our Thursdays :).
Response : Thanks Jess, you were a complete natural from the beginning picking up driving like you were born to do it, I have no doubt you will drive very safely for years to come, our lessons were really enjoyable and sadly came to an end too soon, but that was only due to your excellence behind the wheel, even on test day when you had two examiners in the car with you it didn't phase you passing with only a couple of minors, good luck with everything and safe driving (which I know you will) once your... .

Royton
Geoff is an amazing instructor, he’s very good on keeping you calm when you’re feeling nervous or unsure on certain manoeuvres or other unexpected things you may encounter on the road. His teachings were great and always crystal clear, he also told me about things I should/shouldn’t do when I’m on the road and he also told me immediately after if I did anything wrong, he was always ready to act in situations that I might not have noticed overall and great instructor and a good guy.
Response : Cheers Jack, it was great to see you pass, you put your heart and soul into your lessons and got the reward you deserved, our lessons have been as entertaining as they have educational, safe driving when you get your car. :-).
Adam Watson
Middleton
Geoff is an excellent driving instructor. He is brilliant at teaching the basics and starting the process of learning to drive. Thereafter, his knowledge of the practical test is very helpful because lessons help prepare for situations that arise on the practical test.
Response : Thanks Adam, our lessons were spread over quite a wide distance but what was great to see is that you came back to them having retained the knowledge you'd gained previously, it made my job so much easier as we didn't have to start again we just picked up from where we left off, it was great to see you pass first time as I knew you could, good luck with everything for the exciting future you have ahead, safe driving when you get a car. :-).
Lauren Wallace
Manchester
Geoff is a fantastic driving instructor. He has been immensely patient and supportive throughout my driving journey. Geoff has not just taught me how to operate a car, he has also taught me to be a safe and confident presence on the road and led me to success in my test. Thank you for everything Geoff, I will miss our Tuesdays!
Response : Thanks Lauren, you kept going and showed great determination to get it done, even after a setback you never gave up and fully deserved to pass, good luck with the house move, safe driving when you get your car.
Sadia Ilyas
Rochdale
It has been a great experience learning with Geoff. I have been with a previous instructor but didn’t feel very confident. Within a couple of lessons my confidence was boosted and I can’t thank Geoff enough. Thanks a lot Geoff, wouldn’t have had such a great start to this year without your help.
Response : Thank you Sadia, it's been a real pleasure helping you achieve this, your driving was always good you just needed to believe it, I hope I helped you with this aspect. It was great seeing you pass, I always knew you could do it and you proved me right, all the best for the future.
Naomi Redican

Very very patient. Really takes his time to explain everything thoroughly to help me understand.
Response : Thanks Naomi, I hope by gaining this freedom it really helps you with your long journey too and from work, all the best for the future.

Response : Cheers Macy, really enjoyed our lessons, you worked hard for you success now go and enjoy it in your lovely new car.
Ella Roberts
Middleton
Geoff has been amazing instructor whilst I’ve been learning to drive. He always tries to work around your schedule when he can, and any cancellation tests that came through, he would also try to get in some lessons even if it was last minute. He’s super supportive and always wants the best for you. Any mistakes or problems are always sorted and answered so nothing is left unclear. I never felt uneasy or nervous when driving or trying something new. Geoff is super friendly and always have a laugh whilst on the lessons. Couldn’t recommend Geoff enough. Thanks Geoff.
Response : Cheers Ella, it was great seeing you pass, you fully deserved it, even the examiner thought so (very rare they give out praise like you got) All the best with uni, I hope to see you on Coronation Street someday :-) Drive safe. :-).
Amy Booth
Middleton
I passed my test today with Geoff, after only a few months learning with him. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. He has all the qualities you require whilst learning, he is patient, kind, understanding, good communicator, amazing teacher and just all round great person, it has been a pleasure to be in his company. He genuinely wants the best for you and tries his best to provide lessons and tests that suit your needs, work and child care. He always reassures you when needed and also makes you feel confident in driving by praising your driving, I’ve always left a lesson feeling proud of myself and this was all thanks to Geoff. Find his page on Facebook under ‘Pole Position Driver Training’ and give him a message, you won’t regret it!
Response : Thanks Amy, it was so good to see you pass as I know how much it means to you, loved our lessons, you were always a good driver you just needed that bit of confidence, something I hope I helped you find, safe driving :-).
Jake Bentham
Middleton
I recently passed my test with Pole Position Driver Training and I absolutely, cannot recommended them enough. Geoff has been the best support whilst training during the pandemic and has always endeavoured to ensure I was able to keep up regular lessons, safely. Geoff is kind, understanding and patient and is the reason I have passed securely and confidently. I never once left a lesson feeling down or uneasy, and experienced many laughs and fantastic company whilst learning (which can sometimes be stressful). Any mistakes were always broken down, supported and discussed until I had corrected them confidently and actually understood what was happening on the road and in the car and I felt my needs as a learner driver were listened to. I cannot recommend Pole Position enough, I started based on a chain of recommendations from close friends and family who all passed successfully and thoroughly enjoyed their training. Geoff is brilliant, if you’re looking to learn with an instructor who is supportive and encouraging I would absolutely suggest you enquire. Only downside is they will eventually come to an end, I will miss the weekly trips around the area!
Response : Cheers Jake, really enjoyed our lessons, they were never dull that's for sure, you learnt through the covid period so it was very stop start for you but in all that time you never stopped wanting to drive and kept up with your lessons when you could, it was great to see you both pass and achieve your long held ambition of becoming a teacher during our time together, if your lessons are as entertaining as ours were then I'm sure the kids will love both them and you, all the best for the future,... :-).
Christophe...

Geoff is a great instructor, calm patient and friendly, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to make me feel at ease and boost my confidence. I’d give him a 10/10, thank you Geoff.
Response : Cheers Chris, you were great to teach as you took everything on board, even changing the flat tyre the night before you test was no issue for you, fully deserved to pass, drive safe which I'm sure you will. :-).

Geoff was a brilliant driving instructor, he was really clear, approachable and understanding and flexible which helped a lot around my uni timetable and got me to pass first time. Thanks Geoff.
Response : Thanks Molly, it was great seeing you pass, you took on board everything we practiced really well, your test was at a really busy time, you coped well with some very difficult situations that some experienced drivers may have had trouble with, well done you fully deserved to pass.

Response : Thanks Aaron, you were ready way before your test day but it was good that you had that extra time to ensure you'd pass easily, good luck with everything, stay safe.

Really recommend Geoff as a driving instructor. He enabled me to pass first time with one minor throughout lockdown period. Throughout lessons he was extremely patient, constructive and overall a great teacher. Highly recommend.
Response : Thanks James, it was great to see you pass, you were committed to learning and kept up your driving with some private practice through the lockdown periods which helped you immensely, good luck for everything in the future, drive safe.

Geoff is a brilliant Instructor. I have really enjoyed my experience learning to drive with him. He’s patient, encouraging and an all round lovely man. I couldn’t recommend him enough to any one starting out. All the best Geoff and thank you for all of your help :).
Response : Thanks Maria, really enjoyed our lessons, you became an excellent driver despite frequent breaks due to lockdown, trips around the world etc, :-) It really helped that you had such a positive, can do, attitude to driving and wanted to learn so much, all the best for the future where I'm sure only good things await for you, all the best, drive safe.
