Joshua

Went with this company as a mature age manual learner, my instructors were Richard and Alan, both amazing and excellent at what they do. I did 4 lessons and a test, passed the manual test without fault. Wouldn't have been possible without the guidance of Alan and Richard to snap me out of my old driving habits. Could not recommend this driving school more and specifically both of the instructors I had the pleasure of learning from. Cheers fellas.

Laurence

Richard was my primary instructor. He helped me get from no driving experience to receiving my drivers licence in within the span of three months. A true gem. His style of teaching of so covert. Calm, patient, laid back. All the while confident and sure. Never overloading you with information. But meticulously partitioned and rationed out over a span over a lesson - as each new thing you need to learn naturally arises through your lessons. With the personality of a fatherly teddy bear - kind, friendly, warm. If you're looking to get your manual licence, he's sure worth the money. Thank you, Richard

Very patient and understanding. Doesn't make you feel bad for not knowing and is happy to explain things and explains them very well.

Lachlan

As of this time and comment I have 14h39m. I have done a total of 3h30m of driving with him and greatly improved. He is a great instructor and is really patient. I like that he sees how confident the driver is and he will put you right onto the roads and taking you into areas with lots of turns, roundabouts, and speedbumps but thankfully it is in really quiet areas. My confident has grown since doing lessons with him. I have been taken on the highway and it went well. Also don't worry, if it starts getting stressful he will take over to get you out of the situation. I would highly recommend Richard for anyone. Even if you or your child has some difficulty with learning. This is coming from someone with autism and learning difficulties.
