I started learning with David in June and passed my test yesterday morning, only three months later with just three minors. I absolutely couldn’t have done that with any other instructor. I’ve attempted lessons twice before with different instructors but each time I just didn’t enjoy learning to drive. I was also involved in a bad crash a number of years ago and that really affected me as a passenger, so for a long time I had completely written off any hope of learning to drive. That’s totally changed, I looked forward to each lesson and David helped me identify those ‘lightbulb’ moments when things started to click. He encouraged me to reflect on my progress and by doing that I was easily able to see the change in my ability and confidence throughout.

Something that I loved about my lessons was that from the beginning he makes it clear that he is teaching you to be a driver, not to pass a test. I chose to sit my test in Bishopbriggs, but I live in the Southside of Glasgow so I had very little practice in the area before sitting my test. I felt a bit anxious about this but then I had a lesson when I drove around an area that was completely new to me, and drove better than I ever had before. This was when I realised I wasn’t really a learner anymore, I was a driver and I decided there and then that I was going to pass my test. So I did.

The LDC client-centred method coupled with David’s patience and genuine passion for what he does, has taught me to be a safe, calm, confident driver - something I never thought I’d be! I would recommend everyone to learn to drive with David. He is professional, reliable, friendly, knowledgable, and he keeps his car in excellent condition (in spite of learners like me crunching gears!).

Huge thanks to David and LDC!
