I have just finished an intensive LDC Midway driving course with Steve Clarke and I have many things to accredit him for. Steve visited us a month before the course started; my parents and I were immediately comfortable with him and the way he described his teaching style. Once the actual lessons started, it became even more clear that I'd made a worthwhile investment. Steve always made me feel safe in the car, even when I made mistakes. These mistakes were also dealt with calmly and positively - I never had to feel embarrassed or stressed about a slip up or a problem I was having trouble executing. Because of this I was always driving with a good disposition, which made learning so much more fun and easy. He always maintained a light hearted attitude and we would constantly crack jokes and share stories; In this way he was less like an instructor and more like a friend. From the start Steve told me that he wasn't only going to teach me to pass the test as anyone could do that but also teach me a life skill. Steve was very genuinely looking out for my future safety and cared mostly about making sure I wouldn't be in any danger, even after we parted ways. I know that I will always remember the lessons Steve taught me and that I'll be a safer driver for it. Steve Also helped me pass my test, first try, after only 4 previous days of formal lessons.
