Les is a great instructor, very organised, patient and explains things properly. Willing to go over things as many times as is needed and will go the extra mile to make sure you understand and can master every part of driving. I remember being so nervous in the beginning but I've just passed my test this morning. Thanks Les, couldn't have done it without you 😃
Les was a really good instructor! He worked around my work schedule to make sure I could always make it. He was very informative and gave me lots of guidance and advice. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you.
Les is a fantastic instructor, helped me with everything that I struggled on. Would recommend to anyone looking to drive

I had a few driving instructors for various reasons but Les was the best and was the one who got me my pass. I would not hesitate to recommend him to everyone
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 🙂

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 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!

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.

No need to look any further if you’ve found Les - all round excellent instructor! Calm, cool and collected; always getting the balance of input spot on. You can tell that Les is very passionate about his job, as well as being very knowledgable and always up to date. He is also great to chat to as well, making driving lessons something to always look forward to. I highly recommend Les to anyone looking for a new driving instructor!

Helpful and patient, a great teacher especially for more difficult manoeuvres or for people who may be nervous initially

Les is a great driving instructor. He communicates clearly and creates a relaxed and calm environment for learning. In addition he demonstrates great patience when it comes to answering my silly questions. I can highly recommend him.

I passed my test just over a year ago now and I've had no issues with my driving - I credit that all to Les and his truly great skills as an instructor.
If you've had bad experiences in the past then I would definitely give Les a try - he is patient, calming, friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. I was a complete nervous wreck and Les dealt with this amazingly and was so understanding.
Passing first time on both my theory and practical is again a credit to Les and his dedication to see you succeed - he pushed me to do well but this was never too far as he simply knows and has faith in your abilities (even when you think you're an awful driver and are considering quitting).
He's such a kind genuine bloke with a passion for his job that truly shows. Forever grateful to Les in helping me pass and finally experience the freedom of the open road! Thanks again for all your hard work Les.

Les taught my son to drive. He was fantastic, patient and understanding. Adam really enjoyed his lessons and learned not only to pass his test, but how to actually drive! Cant recommend him highly enough.
