I had Karthi as an instructor and he was amazing, I was very nervous before driving and he totally reassured me and gave me the confidence I needed to pass first time in just over 2 months. Would recommend to anyone Friday, October 10, 2025 Massive thank you to Duncan, who helped me pass first time today. Really brilliant instructor. He always made me feel at ease. And very happy with the overall experience. Samantha Ellington Wednesday, February 18, 2026 I started learning with Andy Gray after a failed driving experience previously, which had really impacted my confidence. I was such an anxious driver and could not imagine passing my test. Andy was calm, kind, explained things well and made an effort to understand how I learn and what put me at ease. I passed my test today and I am so thrilled - Thank you Andy for all the time and confidence.
