Pupil stories

Confidence looks
good on you.

A few words from the people who've been in the driving seat.

He is very calm and encouraging and has a ‘can do’ attitude which helped me gain so much confidence.

I decided to learn with Rob after a number of people had recommended him and had passed first time.

I would highly recommend learning with Rob. He is very calm and encouraging and has a ‘can do’ attitude which helped me gain so much confidence.

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! He didn’t just teach me what I needed to know for my test but tips that will stay with me forever.

His calm and patient approach ensured that I was as comfortable as possible on every lesson I had.

After my brother passed his driving test with Rob, I knew that there was no other instructor that I wanted to go with and he definitely did not disappoint! His calm and patient approach ensured that I was as comfortable as possible on every lesson I had.

Throughout my 6 months of learning, Rob did nothing but fill me with confidence and support, and thanks to him I passed both my theory and practical tests first time.

I have nothing but positive things to say about his teaching and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly and enthusiastic driving instructor.

Rob helped me gain confidence each and every lesson!

Friendly and professional driving instructor, would hugely recommend! Very flexible driving times suiting me when I was at sixth form between and after lessons. Rob always provided additional help when needed and was a very supportive driving instructor.

I passed in December 2018 before Christmas when the roads were getting busy but Rob helped me gain confidence each and every lesson! A very good driving instructor some of my close friends and family have all used to pass their tests.

Rob was so calm and encouraging throughout the whole time I was learning.

Before I turned 17 I was so excited to learn to drive. Me and my mum asked around to see who was most recommended and so many people told us about Rob. Rob was so calm and encouraging throughout the whole time I was learning. Thanks to him I managed to pass my test first time! I 100% recommend learning to drive with Rob.

I would recommend Rob to every learner without a doubt!

When I turned 17 I was so excited to start driving lessons, but I was also so nervous! As soon as I sat in the car for the first time I knew Rob would be very friendly and put me at ease.

Throughout all my lessons from starting in January to passing in July I don't have one bad thing to say, not only is he very knowledgeable and always makes sure that his students are more than ready to take their tests, he always praised me after each lesson, and this really boosted my confidence.

I’m sure this was a large factor in me passing first time. I would recommend Rob to every learner without a doubt!
