I learned with Andy and I never regretted it. Both me and my sister learned with Andy; we both passed with 0 minors. Andy knew how to improve the key parts of my driving in order to get the best out of me, this made me gain more confidence and excel. Not only was Andy’s experience key but also how friendly and easy to chat to he was, this meant any nerves I had were quickly removed. I have heard about other driving instructors delaying postponing lessons at last minute; however, Andy always gave me at least a weeks notice, normally two, of if there would be any reason for my lesson to be delayed. I have referred one friend to Andy and would strongly advice for anyone else to use Red and Black.

Andy is my hero an absolute god send, I really dont know what I would of done without him. Top bloke really good at what he does and would recommend to anyone looking to start their lessons. But im not going to say anymore because im not milking him. But dont hold off to book that first lesson with Red and Black! .

I learned with Glen, and I can honestly say that he’s the best instructor to learn with. I suffer with anxiety - some days it’s really bad - but he had no problem putting me at ease. He boosted my confidence no end, stopped me getting in my own head about things ; Whenever I made a mistake, he sat and talked me through it so I understood what went wrong, and we would then go back to the same place to redo it correctly. Today I passed my first test, with only 1 minor fault! I’ve made a friend for life, he’s an absolute legend and I’m going to really miss our Weird and Wonderful Wednesday chats, in car sing-alongs, and learning with the BEST instructor in Chesterfield. 100% would recommend to everyone who needs lessons.

I had glenn for my lessons and had an amazing time, great guy can have a laugh and teaches you how to drive at the same time. What more could you want. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Red and Back driving academy enough. Andy was my instructor and he somehow very patiently helped a nervous student combat her worries with driving that led to passing first time. He genuinely believed in me and taught me in a way that I enjoyed my lessons and knew exactly where my weak points were. I will miss our lessons and the random facts Andy would tell me to distract me when getting worked up.

Had both instructors, one before covid one after covid. They both start with the basics and build upon that. Never felt unsafe knowing they were there to help me. You can tell they are passionate about this and not only want you to pass, but want you to be a safe and confident driver.

I recently passed my test first time, after having 7 months of weekly lessons. Glen was my instructor and he’s a great guy! So easy to chat to and made me comfortable straight away. He was always on time to lessons, really helpful and good at going over and explaining things that I did wrong, or didn’t understand. I’m grateful for the support and encouragement from him during lessons. I couldn’t recommend Red and Black Driving Academy enough, and I’m going to miss our Tuesday chats. Thanks so much! :).

Cannot recommend Andy enough! Passed yesterday with 0 minors first time; always being patient and supportive has enabled me to learn in a comfortable environment where I have been able to understand everything Andy has said! Loved my lessons and so pleased I’ve passed, going to miss our weekly catch ups x.
