About Me
When choosing a driving instructor you probably want to know - are they any good?
Lots are, but some are not. If you are trying to find an instructor, look for those who have been recommended by people who have already used them. The best instructors are usually independent.
So, am I a good instructor? I like to think I'm good at what I do, and since most of my business comes by word of mouth, I think others do too. But you don't have to take my word for it. Below are some genuine reviews, but if possible ask someone who has learnt with me, and get their feedback.
On a personal level, I'm married with two grown up sons. When I'm not teaching people to drive I enjoy being sociable with family and friends, cycling and walking, music and DIY. I spent most of my career in the retail motor industry prior to being an instructor.
