I’ve been taking lessons with Carl Wickens at Ready To Go Driving and I honestly couldn’t recommend him more. From the very beginning, Carl was always incredibly kind, patient, and supportive - he tailored every lesson to go at exactly the pace I needed. I felt like I was learning so much, so quickly, and with real confidence. He was always super reliable, arriving 10 minutes early to every lesson, and even woke up at 4am to pick me up for my driving test - which I passed first time! One of the great things about learning with Carl is that part of the lesson package includes being able to message him with any questions, and he always replied quickly with clear, helpful advice. The whole experience was so well-structured and professional, and I’d genuinely recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality driving lessons and a supportive, effective learning experience.
Absolutely amazing driving instructor, he took me in when I had roughly 2 months left till my test and I had a bad driving instructor before but he made me test ready very quickly. Amazing instructor!
Ryan was a great instructor. Very patient, explained everything very clearly, allowed me to take my time, understanding. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you!
Initially I was so nevus about driving but my instructor Carl made the hole experience so enjoyable and got me properly test ready. He was only a message away if I ever had any questions. Further I’m quite a slow processor but the way that he taught was really helpful and I was able to pick everything up reasonably quickly.
Brilliant service all around. I never felt like any time was wasted whilst I was having my lessons and thanks to Carl I passed first time! I never had a bad or stressful experience due to the instructor always being calm and understanding of mistakes. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Wow! What an amazing experience. I am 21 in my final year at university living over 300 miles away from where the school is and they still managed to pass me! Carl was great, made me feel very relaxed and got to know me to make me feel very comfortable behind the wheel with him. Despite being in university Carl still kept me on as a pupil while I was away at times! Great service 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a license!
Ryan is a very calm instructor, is always understanding of mistakes and tries to explain why it went wrong and how to fix it. He stayed longer than the lesson time to explain/discuss how the lesson went on multiple occasions.
Not a bad thing to say at all, had come from a less agreeable driving instructor previously (if there's anyone else looking for a change in instructor and can grab a spot with Ready To Go, do it! ) and my experience with Ryan was 100x better, he was always on time if not a few minutes early to lessons, explained thoroughly and consistently and I felt completely safe with him at the extra controls if need be. Not only did my driving improve but so did my confidence and comfort behind the wheel. Couldn't recommend more.
I have really bad anxiety issues so learning to drive always scared me which is why I only began to learn at the grand age of 42! I had low expectations going into my lessons but Carl is brilliant at building confidence and calming nerves. 40 hours experience of driving with Carl and I passed 1st time with zero faults, my overall experience couldn't be any better! Highly recommend, thank you so much Carl.
I just passed my driving test first time! My instructor Ryan went above and beyond. He's so patient and calm, so even though I was a more nervous learner, I still felt relaxed with him when driving. He is the only instructor I've had when learning and has been great adapting to the new covid guidelines so I felt really safe in my lessons. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to learn or do refresher lessons, you seriously couldn't make a better decision than choosing Ready To Go.
A great teacher, very easy to along with, understanding and useful. Helped me pass first try in around 4 months. Very safe and taking all the right precautions with covid. I had a great experience, there is a really nice, relaxed atmosphere.
