I had Gary as my driving instructor for a good few months and he was the best driving instructor I have ever had, was always positive and supportive I passed my test with 2 minors and I could not recommend him more. I have had two prior instructors and they were nothing compared to Gary! - 24/03/26

Tony was an amazing driving instructor. So patient right from the start making learning so much easier. Ella always felt safe and the patience Tony had allowed her to gain confidence fast.Around the test date Tony ensured Ella was very ready and was very helpful, ensuring she had lessons when she needed them even if that meant working on his day off. I highly recommend Tony and Ella is grateful for everything! - 23/03/26

Chris is a fantastic driving instructor! He has got all three of my boys through their tests, first time. A great success rate! He is patient, kind, trustworthy and very encouraging! He knows exactly when your child should be put through for their test. He has been at the end of a phone for any queries my sons have had, for which, I as a parent am very grateful! I would thoroughly recommend Chris! - 09/03/26

My experience at Driving Skills Academy was the best I could ask for. Chris himself is super friendly, chatty and comforting when you need it the most. He affors great advice and constructive criticism whilst also being up for a friendly chat and a joke. His car, Fernando, was the best car I could have learnt in. And the fact that Chris knew his own car so well really helped. I would recommend Driving Skills Academy to anyone, whether you're the most confident driver out there or the most nervous. Regardless of your situation Driving Skills Academy will be able to guide you to success. - 12/02/26

I had driving lessons with Andy Farley from early October to late January every Saturday at 1:30-3 pm, I would never have passed first time if it wasn’t for his calm approach and making sure i was comfortable with everything we did and calmly guiding me through the hard drives, he knows how to push his students to the maximum without going out of their comfort zone, he is a lovely person too someone easy to get on with and has an amazing sense of humour and i’ll miss our saturday afternoon drives, i’ll look out my window every saturday waiting for you andy! thank you so much for helping me pass and he is truly the best instructor i could have asked for - 01/02/26 SteveS-2616
Andy was a very professional instructor that tutored my son Charlie. He made us feel very secure and that Charlie was in safe hands. Charlie really enjoyed his lessons and Andy made the very stressful act of learning to drive an enjoyable experience. We paid lessons in batches and Charlie managed to pass his test before the lessons expired and we got a refund for any lessons not used. Amazing experience all round would highly recommend. - 01/02/26

I had Andy F as my instructor and he was not only a friendly instructor but incredibly informative. His guidance assisted in refining my driving skills, and if I was nervous or hesitant at any point he knew how to change the subject into something funny to chill me out. Would recommend him to anyone that wants to learn to drive - 30/01/26
