Keira I started off my lessons nervous after previous instructors and tests not going well. Chris knocked the nerves away and made me feel more confident then ever. Reliable, helpful and easy to talk to. All his support got me to pass my test and surprise myself. Thank you!!

His teaching style is relaxed and enjoyable, which his students really appreciate. He's got loads of five-star reviews across social media and Google, with many mentioning how he helped them overcome nerves and anxiety. Chris is patient and good at explaining things in different ways until they click, and he creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can make mistakes and learn.

Marc B MB 1 Great instructor- my nephew was bouncing between instructors for 6 months and not getting anywhere or understanding certain aspects and suffering from anxiety - Chris was able to put him at ease and explain things in an easy to understand format, and he has now passed 3 months later. Thanks Chris!
Amy G I came to Chris as an anxious driver after a few driving instructors, and 2 failed tests. I feel like a totally different person after driving with Chris! He was insanely patient with how long it took me to find my confidence, and I've passed today with no faults!! Chris offers a completely non judgemental, honest, safe space to make mistakes and learn how to do things in a way that makes sense so it sticks. Felt able to be honest when I was stuck, and Chris would come back with a new way of explaining things until it made sense to me. Couldn't recommend him more! Thank you!!
Chloe S Highly recommend! I came to Chris as a nervous and anxious student. He always put me at ease which gave me confidence in my abilities. On days where I wasn't feeling so confident he helped me through it. Having conversation helps make the situation feel less formal which is perfect for easing nerves. My test came at very short notice (one day) following a last minute cancellation and I am proud to say that I passed first time thanks to Chris and his excellent tutoring. A huge thank you
Nicole F Absolutely brilliant driving instructor! He talks through everything clearly and uses visual prompts to support what he's explaining. Always friendly, patient and positive and he made me feel confident in my driving. I've gained excellent skill and technique while learning with Chris which has made me a safe driver. I highly recommend taking lessons with Chris.
