Karl, I would first like to say thank you for helping me achieve my license. Throughout the the last 6 months there’s not been one thing I can fault about how you went about things, we got off to a great start and was flying with the lessons until I had to take 6 weeks off with me hurting me leg. However, when I came back you made it easy for me to get back up to speed with how you structured the lessons. The best thing you did was changing to 3 hour lessons, as we were nearing my test date, if it wasn’t for that I don’t think I would have passed. The LDC Workbook was very helpful when setting goals, and providing me the information needed, to make me a safe driver on the road and giving me a better understanding of the vehicle. Overall the experience I had was a great one that I won’t forget, as it was the road that led to me finally getting my license, so once again thank you, and all the best.

Really enjoyed learning to drive with Gordon. He was very patient with me. I like the LD System as you always knew what you were going to do next and the LDC workbooks are good as well. I will definitely recommend Gordon to friends and family wanting to drive.

Karl is an amazing instructor. He’s optimistic, patient, understanding and professional. He is a great motivator and makes good jokes to make you feel relaxed. Karl is friendly, and a great listener, whilst ensuring discipline on the road to help you to become a safe driver. He will not only teach you to pass your driving test, but teach you to become a good driver. I’ve gained so much confidence driving with Karl and felt completely prepared for my test. He fully reassured me before I drove into the test centre, and I passed with only two minor driving faults. Karl always made room in his diary for me and ensured I could take my lessons around my busy work schedule. Karl uses an effective teaching method, asking you what you think we should do / should have done, to improve the situation, rather than telling you the answer. This helps you understand and learn from your mistakes.
Before a lesson, he checks what you would like to do / improve upon during the lesson, and plans a route / lesson in advance to maximise drive time. He will also ask you to pull over to discuss a diagram over a complicated roundabout/ manoeuvre, prior to doing it to give you a better understanding. He also suggests different ways to approach situations, in order to let you decide which is the best option for you. At the end of the lesson, Karl encourages you to grade each part of the lesson from 1-10, which clearly highlights your progression. The LDC workbook is very useful and demonstrates each element of the driving in detail, I used it before and after every lesson. Karl helped me to book a test quickly by looking for a cancellation. The LD system online is also very helpful, as you can update it and your instructor can view it to. Overall, Karl is great and I would recommend him to anyone learning to drive. The car is always spotless and comfortable to drive! 10/10

I started lessons with Karen after switching over from another instructor and was lacking in confidence with my driving and had a long way to go with developing my driving skills. Over the course of 2 years and during a pandemic, Karen was incredibly supportive, encouraging, and an innovative instructor. Her whole approach was tailored to my skill set and ability, and general approach and personality, so at all times I always felt motivated to improve and was fully equipped at all times with detailed knowledge that she would share along the way. Importantly, Karen would make the lessons enjoyable whilst sharing many tips, and key approaches - again in a way that matched my learning style.

Thank you Alex for being my driving instructor and helping me pass, and 1st time as well. I still can't get rid of the smile off my face and yes, I finally believe in myself that I CAN DO IT! I came to you having already had 5 lessons with another instructor elsewhere, who completely shattered my confidence and made me believe I'd never be able to master learning to drive. As with anyone, the moment you get to drive home for the first time is a day we all get excited for. It took me the first lesson with you, even if it did take a bit of persuading and encouragement on your part, but I DID IT! Especially having been learning to drive throughout this whole COVID pandemic ordeal, your lessons gave me something to look forward to every week. You let me take the lead with the lesson structure where I wanted to do so, as well as guiding and informing me when I wasn't sure of what to do next, the benefits of the LD learning system! I just wanted to say I appreciate you putting up with all the shouting (at myself) I did when the car ("I") did something wrong. You kept me calm and collected throughout every lesson and even up to the moment I drove the car for the final time on test day (I'm sorry for the VERY early morning test). To anyone looking for a driving instructor to take lessons with, I couldn't recommend anyone more than Alex (in fact, I already recommended him myself to everyone I know wanting to learn to drive in the area, and am slowly convincing all my friends to learn to drive because of the experience I've had with Alex). He has been the most approachable, funny and helpful driving instructor and even little things such as your little children's cars to help explain something and your sticker dots to help with manoeuvres, you've really thought of everything to make learning to drive as easy as possible I can't thank you enough for your time over the last year, but it has been much appreciated!

Mik is a fantastic instructor. He takes time to make sure you understand everything and never makes you feel silly for making a mistake. As someone who has a lot of driving anxiety, Mik made every lesson a comfortable and relaxed experience and he has the patience of a saint ! He uses lots of different resources to teach, making it accessible and very easy to understand. I found the LDC workbook a very useful tool to consolidate my learning, and in preparation for the next lesson. Mik was always on time, if not early for every lesson and would spend extra time at the end of it to make sure to reflect on how the lesson went. You can tell how much he cares about his pupils and really wants them to succeed. I would recommend Mik to anyone learning to drive, He is a credit to LDC and I am extremely grateful for all his help and support.

I passed first time with Alex and I'm very happy with the quality of lessons I had and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have driving lessons. He was always calm with me and every lesson was well paced, and he also allowed me to focus on any driving skills I wanted to do. The LDC system was really helpful in practicing for my theory test.

Karl is a brilliant instructor, always very calm and patient, and happy to explain anything I didn't understand in the LDC workbook. Due to missing driving time in the second lockdown, Karl started weekly theory sessions with myself and another student, to ensure that our progress was kept up throughout those difficult times. I used my LDC theory app to aid my learning, and found that the hazard perception tests were very useful in my physical driving also. The videos by LDC were extremely helpful, and I watched them before each section of my lesson to aid with understanding. I could not recommend Karl enough, I felt so comfortable throughout my learning! Thank you!
