"Ian was my second driving instructor, and came as a recommendation from my 3 friends, who also passed with him. Lessons were very enjoyable and i felt reassured when problem areas were always focused on.  Ian is definitely a future recommendation for family and friends who also want to pass, as lessons are value for money. I am now currently doing the 'pass plus' in order to further my understanding of the road and motorways. Thank you Ian"

"After passing first time the only person I can thank is Ian. If your looking for a good, dedicated and value for money instructor, Ian is the best. I would highly recommend him. Thanks again Ian for helping me pass first time!"

 -Matthew Scandrett (5/010/11)

"Thanks to Ian, my wife Anilyn managed to pass first time with only a few minor faults and helping her achieve Pass Plus with ease. My wife usually confident in passing most exams or learning anything else that you could put in front of her, was not so confident in her ability to drive a car, never mind pass her driving test. Anilyns first experience of driving was in a go-cart, and to say she was scared is an understatement, I managed about 10 laps, before she had done one. I speak for my wife Anilyn in thanking you for your excellent teaching skills and patience, and from myself in saving a potential marriage break up by teaching her how to drive much much much better than I could have ever done."

THANKS AGAIN IAN."
 - Kim Bennett (23/03/11)

"I had my first few driving lessons with another instructor and didn't enjoy myself or get to grips with driving at all.  However, after just one lesson with Ian, I felt loads more confident and everything made so much more sense.  Ian made driving lessons fun and relaxing and he made the effort to fit lessons around my constantly changing work times and locations.  Having passed my test last week, I am now looking forward to a motorway lesson with Ian."

I was a very nervous driver to start with, but Ian helped me gain confidence in my ability to drive - every lesson is focused and aimed at making good progress, though very enjoyable at the same time! Very supportive on test day! Thankyou Ian for your patience and helping me realise my dream of being able to drive independantly! I would definitely recommend Ian as an instructor not only for complete beginners but also for those who have already had lessons in the past, he'll adapt to whatever your level of capability. Very reasonable lesson prices too."
