Learning to drive with Matt was a positive experience. His lessons were well structured, and the skills booklet made it easy to track my progress and know what to work on each week. Matt was patient and clear throughout, which helped as I was very nervous driving at the start. I passed my test first time after five months of regular lessons which i was really pleased about."Although I could already "drive", I came to Matt with several bad habits, such as improper mirror and blind spot checks. He expertly corrected these in a short time. His approach was strictly responsive, which built my confidence and made my progress in every lesson undeniable. Thanks to his high standards, I passed my test flawlessly on the first attempt. More than just teaching me to pass, Matt instilled a deep respect for the road and the principles of defensive driving."Yiding Liu"I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons with Matt...I felt the lessons were really well tailored to fit my learning style which was fantastic! Matt's constant support and his ability to judge when I was ready to take my driving test, allowed me to pass my test quickly and on the first attempt!" Hayley Merrick (Hawarden)"Matt is a very good instructor, he does not prepare you just for the driving test but to become a better driver. I would happily recommend him to all my friends for they all want to pass the first time." Dr Vipul Jindal (Chester)
