I started off with a different driving instructor and after 40 lessons, still couldn't even do the basic maneuvers or safely get around a roundabout without direction. I then got hold of Mike and had a free trial first lesson and instantly felt comfortable and connected with my instructor - which i feel is essential when learning to drive. Within only a few weeks of the lessons he felt we were ready to progress with the tests and I FINALLY felt like i was getting somewhere. I now have the freedom and independence that comes with the ability to drive and will carry Mikes guidance with me whenever I'm on the road. He's clear, comforting, encouraging and efficient and I would GLADLY recommend him to any new drivers at any stage in their learning. I thank him so much for his teaching and wish him all the best with the future.
