Derek was the second driving instructor I've had and I have to say his level of professionalism and his ability as an instructor far outshines my previous teacher. As a beginner, Derek was very clear in his instructions and provided good visual guidance through the use of diagrams where necessary. He is very attentive to your driving, which in turn makes you feel relaxed and confident. His common use of phrases such as "tyre and tarmac", "smaller the space slower the car", etc., really stick... I still say them to myself when driving alone and I believe it makes me a better driver! I passed first time with Derek and so did my partner. I would highly recommend him if you're looking for a full time professional instructor with a wealth of experience, who is consistent, clear and friendly in his approach!
