The LDC Workbook was also a massive help
Kelly has been a patient and supportive instructor from the very beginning. She has accommodated my difficult work schedule, which has often meant postponing and changing lesson times. I had never driven before starting lessons with Kelly, but she always made me feel in safe hands. After having to take a break from lessons due to work I lost a lot of confidence and wasn’t sure I was ready for the test, but with Kelly’s dedication and perseverance I was able to pass first time. The LDC Driving Skills Workbook was also a massive help as I was able to read it in the gap from my lessons and it meant I kept the information fresh in my mind. Kelly was always quick to respond to messages and often sent me video links in between lessons for subjects I needed to focus on before my next lesson. I don’t think I’d have been able to do it without her, it really felt as though we were a team! I honestly cannot recommend Kelly enough!

James was very kind, professional and patient
I just recently passed my test for the first time with James as my instructor. James was very kind professional and patient with me and took his time to help me gain my confidence as I was a very nervous driver to begin with. His lessons were at the pace I was comfortable with and I got to choose what I was ready for and so was not asked to do anything I was uncomfortable with. The lessons are accompanied by an LDC workbook which was extremely helpful as each lesson follows the workbook, so if you need to recap at home or have a look ahead on what the next lessons will be you can. There is also a checklist on the workbook for every single thing you will need to be able to do for the test which was great as I could go through and highlight what I could do and then was able to work with James to go over the things I needed to work more on. James is an excellent instructor and I highly recommend him.

Mik pushes you out of your comfort zone
Mik is honest with you when you go wrong, but all critique is constructive. He knows what to say after you’ve made a mistake to set you back on track and to dispel any worries. Mik is always happy to answer any questions you might have. You have a say in what you would like to do in each lesson, which can help in addressing your weak areas. Mik pushes you out of your comfort zone in a safe and controlled way, which can make for a swift learning process. His patience has remained steadfast, though I’ve tested it thoroughly. The LDC workbook is useful when planning ahead for your next lesson and when reviewing anything you may have forgotten or unsure of. There is a good amount of information on the test too.

FIRST time pass with CLEAN sheet
I’ve really enjoyed learning to drive with Mik's LDC driving school. He has been very calm, professional and thorough. He has provided me with excellent advice guidance and driving skills. Mik is a genuine people person makes you feel at ease straight away. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family, and having taught my older brother, I have no reservation in recommending him to teach my little brother when his time comes. I found the LDC resources theory test preparation online very useful for my Test.

Jason has been a great driving instructor
Jason has been a great driving instructor, as he was always patient, punctual and actively found ways to suit my learning style. He managed to make every mistake a learning point and helped me not only to pass the driving test, but also built my confidence to be able to independently deal with other scenarios that may occur. As well as his teaching, having the LDC workbook really allowed me to get the most out of my lessons, and meant that I was able to go over anything I wanted to when practicing outside of lessons. I feel that this combination has been really successful and would recommend Jason to anyone learning to drive!

Andy was super friendly and supportive
Andy was super friendly and supportive for the whole experience of learning to drive. We went at a pace that was challenging but also doable. The LDC workbook used when learning to drive was very useful and gave useful pointers and learning opportunities. Overall, my experience of learning to drive was enjoyable and with a lack of stress and I feel safe on the road due to Andy.

Ben got me believing in myself!
From the very first lesson, Ben made me feel at ease and got me believing in myself. He got out of his ways and tailored an entire learning process around what worked best for me. The LDC system and the workbook have been extremely helpful in supporting me throughout this journey to become a safe and capable driver. He has been extremely supportive and calm from day one, he encouraged me to stay positive and carry on and made me feel in control of the process at all times and helped me to overcome my nerves and insecurities. The friendliest and extremely knowledgeable driving instructor, I will forever be grateful to Ben for his never ending patience and support. Had a wonderful experience on the road with him and would 100% recommend him!

Her lessons were concise and engaging
I found Helen Matthews from LDC Driving School a great driving instructor. Her lessons were concise and engaging, I learnt a lot thanks to Helen. The LDC workbook was very handy. The information inside the workbook corresponded with the lessons nicely and I was able to help my parents understand what I was being taught and practice what I learnt in my own time. The LDC hub was very useful in keeping track of lessons. I believe that the combination of Helen's lessons, my private practice times with my parents, the workbook and the LDC hub was instrumental to me passing my driving test. James

Great experience!

I would recommend Ben 100%.
Thank you Ben, the experience my daughter has had while learning to drive with you has been excellent. As a parent, your communication and information given was perfect. The LDC online learning system provided an excellent theory learning experience. I would recommend Ben 100%. My advice would be to start enquiring a good few months before your young person turns 17. Ben has an excellent track record of a first time pass rate and very much worth waiting for availability.

He trusted me from the beginning
Nick Haxton is a very nice person and a wonderful driving instructor. I gave him a difficult time, because I didn't trust myself enough. I was a very nervous driver and wanted to give up a few times. Nick never let me. He trusted me from the beginning. It's been a long journey and I'm very grateful for it. Nick is not only an instructor, but also a good psychologist. He found a way to calm me down. He calmly explained everything to me over and over again. He was always on time on my lesson with a good and positive mood. Nick is a very experienced, skilled instructor and has very good knowledge of roads and all relevant information. I also used the LDC workbook which was a great help. I would recommend Nick to all the people who want to become a good safe driver. I will miss our chat Nick. Thank you for everything. Katerina

Jackie is a lovely person
Jackie has been fantastic. She has been very supportive and understanding whilst I've built my confidence to learn to drive. She is very professional and knowledgeable and knows the local area well. I especially liked the printed resources and satellite views she uses as teaching tools as this really helped me to visualise the routes and make safe decisions. It has been lovely getting to know Jackie. She is a lovely person and was the most significant part in helping me pass my test. I found the LDC workbook and videos hugely helpful as I liked being able to pre read the lesson topics and revise them in my own time to support my lessons. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone else looking to learn to drive in the Eastbourne area. Jackie helped to calm my nerves and to prepare me for all scenarios that could occur in my test and when driving afterwards. I found her lesson structures and supportive nature a fantastic combination. I wish her and her students all the best in the future.

I cannot thank her enough,
Leigh has been a great teacher and has made the difference in me sticking with learning this time. Her knowledge and patience in conjunction with LDC materials have allowed me to tailor the structure of my learning to what needed. The LDC workbook and videos have enabled me to continue working at it when not in car and proved an excellent supplement to my in person learning. At times during my lessons I have struggled with nerves and confidence but Leigh always had methods and advice on how to cope with this. I cannot thank her enough, I have truly enjoyed my time spent learning with her.

Ben has just been amazing

I’ve grown so much since we started our lessons and I can’t thank Ben enough for his kindness, his patience and his support. the LDC online and workbook materials have been great in supporting my practical learning, and it was a great resource to refer back to throughout my lessons.

Jackie has been an absolute saint
Jackie has been an absolute saint and has been so patient. I am an anxiety sufferer and with this added nuisance Jackie has shown plenty of kindness, caringness & helpfulness and along side Test Buddy my driving anxiety has been greatly reduced. The LDC workbook and it’s exercises and diagrams have been ever so useful as well for those tips to help make the drive safe. Before obtaining my theory, the hub on offer from LDC couldn’t be better and helped ensure a first time pass.

Always went the extra mile to support me
I cannot recommend Ben enough. He has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Ben is very friendly, patient, calm and an excellent teacher. He is also organised and communicates well. I was initially very anxious and put off learning to drive but Ben instantly put me at ease and always went the extra mile to support me. The LD system was unique and helpful as it made it easy to track progress and break learning down into bite-sized chunks. I am so incredibly thankful to Ben for turning me into a confident and competent driver. I cannot fault Ben in any way and would recommend him in a heartbeat. Ben, thank you so much!
