Les was a great driving instructor, super friendly and goes that extra mile. He was recommended to me by a friend and I would be sure to recommend him to anyone I know looking for lessons as I am certain they will have the best experience!!

Les is a fantastic driving instructor. Always so patient, calm and puts you at complete ease. I couldn’t have passed my test on Saturday without his help and support during my lessons. He helped massively with my confidence to drive safely. I would highly recommend Les to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thank you again Les 🙂

Les is a great driving instructor. He is the most calm, fair, patient, supportive and reassuring person, and that is reflected in his teachings. I couldn't imagine learning or passing with anyone else! His knowledge and teachings of driving is extensive and I appreciated that he explained everything for me to understand clearly. I suffered horrendously with nerves, anxiety and lack of self confidence especially the closer my test got but Les was constantly there to advise, support and steer me in the right direction! He really helped with my confidence in driving and myself! I passed first time and feel that I will be a safe and confident driver and that is all thanks to Les. I can't thank him enough!

I restarted lessons with Les after a couple of years off and passed with 3 minors. Couldn't have asked for a more patient and friendlier instructor! Les was great at helping me build up my confidence in driving throughout the whole process 🙂

Les is a wonderful driving instructor. He is the most reassuring, calm and supportive people I have ever met! I couldn’t imagine learning to drive with anyone else. If you are an anxious driver like I am he is the best out there. I experienced two driving instructors before him and they almost put me off driving for good, Les definitely helped with my confidence in driving and I will always be grateful.
