I highly recommend Derek as he was very calm, patient and had a great sense of humour with me!! He made me feel relaxed and comfortable in every drive, and picked up on small mistakes I made and explained each one to me. I only had two lessons with him before my test and I passed with only one minor.

Derek was fantastic. After my son had done plenty of practice with us, Derek stepped in for a couple of lessons, corrected mistakes and bad habits, and clearly explained why. His guidance helped my son pass his driving test on the first attempt. He was engaging, clear in his instructions, and focused on exactly what was needed to build confidence and get the job done. We’re very grateful for his support.

Massive thank you to Derek for helping our daughter pass her P's on the first try .. She suffers from next level anxiety and to be honest - we were not sure she would be able to keep it under wraps for the big test - but with Derek's help she got there.

She felt comfortable with him from the very first lesson ! Cannot thank you enough ...

Would highly recommend Derek to anyone (especially if your nervous around new people like she is !! ) :)
