Jake

Kind, patient, and supportive

I recently passed my driving test first time with only 3 faults, and I couldn't have done it without the help of my instructor, Rob. He was always very kind, patient, and supportive throughout the entire learning process. The LDC Workbook was also a great tool - it really helped me to understand the theory behind driving and prepared me for each lesson. Rob was especially helpful when it came to tackling the more difficult tasks; he explained things clearly and gave me the confidence I needed to improve. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive!

Highly recommended

I would highly recommend learning with Neill. I was apprehensive about starting driving lessons again, having failed tests when I was younger, but Neill made me feel very comfortable and pushed me just the right amount out of my comfort zone on each lesson. He was always patient and took the time to explain things when needed. I liked the student-led structure of the LDC format as it encouraged me to reflect after each lesson on what had gone well and what I needed to improve on, and helped me to feel in control of my learning and my driving. With Neill's support I was able to learn and pass my driving test on the first attempt this time around after three months.

I used to be anxious

I have thoroughly enjoyed Siobhan’s lessons. Her calm and kind energy put me at ease within the first lesson. I used to be anxious about driving and thought I’d never be able to pass - let alone first time! But Siobhan’s teaching style gave me the confidence and ability to overcome these worries. The LDC workbook I was given, was useful to look through before lessons so I could visualise what was going to be covered. Driving will give me the freedom to pursue new opportunities after I have graduated from university. I am grateful to Siobhan for her patience, friendliness and genuine interest in how I was doing. I would highly recommend Siobhan as a driving instructor to anyone, especially those who are nervous about driving and have been putting it off. Learning to drive is the best thing I have done and I am lucky to have had Siobhan as my teacher!

Energetic and positive instructor

Sarah is such an energetic and positive instructor who makes every lesson clear and builds upon each lesson. Through her everyday explanations that make each and every manoeuvre easy to understand. Always on time and always good fun, Sarah makes what is a stressful and nervy experience both fun and simplistic by breaking it down in a way that can easily be understood. The LDC system itself makes the lessons clearly planned out with the book/site both helping me with the theory test and the Show Me/Tell Me questions which is invaluable. I passed first time.

Patient and understanding

I found Jackie to be very patient and understanding. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, as an older driver it was very good to be at ease. The LDC workbook was very useful and informative. A massive thank you for your patience and understanding during my difficulties.

Kind, patient and really passionate

After feeling like I wasn’t really getting anywhere with a previous instructor, I stopped lessons altogether for a few months. Three and a half weeks ago I found a cancellation test and bit the bullet, before frantically emailing around different driving schools for some sort of semi-intensive booster course. Most didn’t reply or said it was too short notice—except for Vicky, who responded within an hour and I'm so glad she did! She went above and beyond, reshuffling her schedule to fit in a 15-hour test booster course for me, even though she doesn't even usually cover the area I'd booked my test in. I genuinely wouldn’t have passed today (first time!!) without her. Vicky is a truly empathetic teacher, who is kind, patient and really passionate about what she does. She helped me unlearn some bad habits and I really liked the LDC approach with its workbook and online materials to study- they make it clear exactly what's expected in a driving test. Vicky is really engaged and clearly just wants the best for her students. I wish I'd learnt with Vicky from the beginning. I really can't recommend her highly enough, I'm going to miss our lessons! I passed first time.

Amazing Driving

Hannah at LDC was the name univocally recommended to me a few months ago when I was looking for an instructor; and she has not just taught me to pass a test, but to be a confident and safe road user. What makes Hannah outstanding is her complete commitment to her students. As a naturally anxiety-prone person, Hannah was exceptional in providing clarity of instruction, giving reassurance, and in constructively suggesting improvements non-judgmentally. She has taken additional courses herself to understand anxious mindsets, as well as SEN, better, and provided me with some fantastic resources on managing nerves and anxiety (which will help me beyond driving), as well as the LDC App, a helpful book, and loads of online resources. She goes above and beyond to give you the very best chance of passing on the day. Far from pigeon-holing students or teaching a standard script, she adapts her teaching to an individual level. I always felt that Hannah was very fair in how she charged and in the number of lessons she quoted. She actively helped me move test dates forwards and pass as quickly as possible. Hannah was impeccably professional - she was always punctual and was happy to go overtime to provide extra help with additional manoeuvres. Thank you, Hannah. I really enjoyed my lessons and felt a massive sense of accomplishment through them. I am thrilled to have passed and have a new freedom - I cannot recommend Hannah highly enough.

Made me feel at ease

Jackie is a great driving instructor. She is kind and helpful, explaining things clearly and efficiently. Jackie is very good at making you feel at ease in stressful situations on the road and has a calm demeanour. She is firm but fair and I would definitely recommend her. The workbook and videos provided are extremely helpful to understand manoeuvres, the gears, basic skills and help with the planning of lessons. The LDC theory test preparation was equally helpful, with clear explanations and a wide range of practice tests. The website is very accessible and easy to navigate. The combination of Jackie's instructing and the provided resources made me feel much more confident in my ability to pass both the theory and practical driving tests at the first attempt.

Brilliant instructor

Ant was a brilliant instructor, he gave me confidence along the whole way and made the learning process so much easier! Ant helped me test my limits and improve while still making me feel comfortable and have fun. The LDC theory test preparation app was super helpful in passing my theory, made it a walk in the park. I am very grateful to have had Ant teach me especially as I passed first time.

A great communicator

Jackie is very cooperative and friendly. She puts you at ease and teaches you in a really positive and easy to learn way. I would recommend her to everyone who is wanting to learn to drive. Jackie provided me with resources to practise for my theory test, these were invaluable as was the LDC workbook. Thanks Jackie - kind, patient, supportive, confidence builder, encouraging and a great communicator. If I could give you 10 stars I would!

Lisa Tobin

Lynne was a great instructor

Lynne is a very patient, kind and observant instructor, she is very thorough with teaching ensuring you are confident and comfortable with all aspects of driving. I felt prepared for the test with the resources that were available especially the LDC workbook provided with breakdown of manoeuvres and road traffic situation, also helpful for show/tell me questions. Lynne was a great instructor to have never felt stressed/under pressure with her teaching style - always provided feedback where needed and helped me understand mistakes. She always provided safe driving environment with friendly open manners - would highly recommend. I passed first time.

Wes Matthewman

Passed with ZERO driving faults !

Jon is a great instructor. I wasn’t with him for very long but during that short time we built a great relationship. Very easy to get along with and will always want to help you improve, and do what’s best for you. Extremely reliable, never cancelled on me once and showed up to every lesson 15 minutes early. I was buzzing with the pass, especially with no driving faults too, it wouldn’t have been possible without Jon getting me to the level I am at now. LDC were very good with communication and the whole process is so smooth. I would recommended anybody going with Jon if you want guaranteed passes and fun lessons, not just to learn how to drive, but to have a role model you can speak to.

Helped me realise my potential

Clare was a great instructor very kind, understanding and patient. She really helped boosting my confidence in my driving and helped me realise my ability to drive. I would highly recommend Clare to other learners. The LDC workbook was useful with well detailed descriptions and explained imagery to further understand and prepare me well for questions Clare would ask.

Jack Varley

Absolutely fantastic instructor

Clare has been absolutely fantastic instructor. She is clear and concise as well as extremely encouraging. I always felt comfortable in the car with Clare and learnt at a pace that worked for me. She is super friendly and I would recommend Clare to anyone wanting to learn to drive! The LDC system worked well for me to learn in small steps as well as having a centralised place for all information. Clare taught the LDC material well in a clear way for me to understand. It also good to see my progress on the app. Thank you so much Clare !!

Chloe Joyce

Passed 1st Time

I had a few lessons 4 years ago but stopped due to the pandemic and I started driving again in April after University. I was driving with my dad until doing a 15 hour test booster course with Ant to top up my driving knowledge and skills. The LDC workbook and videos online helped a lot, especially by helping dad to know when I'm doing something right/wrong. During the course, I was able to learn better reference points when parking and improve on things I was struggling with. It also helped to learn the roads I would likely be driving on during the test. It was really helpful having things explained in a way that was easy to understand. I also felt relaxed when in the car with Ant which made it easier.

Nikola Antosik

Positive and fun experience

Richard is a very easy going but also consistent with the way he teaches to drive. He gives support whenever needed and helps you understand not only how to drive. but how to understand what other road users do and how their behaviour may affect my actions. Throughout my time learning with Richard, I never had any issues or the feeling of discouragement at any point. The support and constructive feedback is something I found really helpful. In regards to the LDC workbook, I believe it is a great resource when it comes to fully understanding the technical side of driving. I can confidently say I recommend Richard and LDC to anyone looking to learn to drive. Overall a very positive and fun experience. I passed first time.
