I just passed my driving test first time at Speke test centre!! My driving instructor was Lee, a fantastic driving instructor and an amazing guy. I’m also type 1 diabetic. Lee made sure I was always safe to drive, that my blood sugar levels were safe. Once my sugar dropped, and Lee bought me a pack of Snicker bars to get it back up, even though he didn’t have to. He is knowledgeable and patient. He stays calm even when you do mistakes when driving and helps you fix them. I nearly got into accidents a few times when taking my lessons, but Lee stepped in and made sure I was safe. Then there’s all these other kind things that he has done for me before taking my driving test, like how he once dropped me off using his car when I was waiting to take the bus, and bought me some Thai that I am working on cooking! So thank you so much Lee!! I really appreciate all your help! When looking for a driving instructor, it was really important for me to find someone that can help me pass first time. Thanks to Lee’s help, I did!

I started learning in September with Rachel and passed last week first time with only one minor. I had some manual lessons previously but just didn’t enjoy driving and was really nervous. From the second I got in the car with Rachel I felt totally at ease, she built my confidence up so quickly and was the absolute best teacher! I was never scared to make a mistake because she was always so patient and would calmly explain the mistake rather than making it a big deal. I have had the best time learning with Rachel, she is so lovely, so funny and every lesson was a ball. Although I am over the moon that I’ve passed my test I am going to miss my weekly lessons with her… and not just because she turns up with hot chocolate on the winter mornings! She really is the best and I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thanks Rachel xxx

A big thank you to Lee 🙌🏾 for teaching me how to drive, build my confidence in driving in 8 weeks 23 hours of lessons and passing my test first time as a first time driver. He was patient, supportive never let me down and so punctual every time. He taught me in Speke how to drive and I had the test in Widnes. He is amazing instructor. Really recommend. Thank you Lee for believing in me . All the best from Ana

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Experience with Julie - Highly Recommend! I can't recommend Julie and this driving school enough! I was initially told there would be up to a 6-month waiting list, but just a week later, Julie rang me and had me booked in for lessons. I took driving lessons every Sunday, and Julie was always flexible if I needed to change my time or was away for the weekend. Julie is incredibly patient, kind, and made me feel comfortable from the very first lesson. Her teaching style is clear, supportive, and she really knows how to make you feel confident behind the wheel. Thanks to her, I passed my driving test on the first attempt in Norris Green! I will truly miss our Sunday mornings - Julie, you’re amazing! Thank you so much for all your help and guidance! Michelle xx

Lee was my driving instructor, and I can honestly say he's been absolutely brilliant from the very start, all the way to today, when I successfully passed my driving test! Lee kept me calm and reassured throughout, and was friendly all the time. We were able to have a bit of a chat and as well which really helped keep my nerves at bay, and allowed me to naturally learn. Honestly, Lee is one of the best instructors I could have hoped to have, and I'm really grateful for his support
