Alan has been an excellent instructor. I was very impressed at the way he listened and understood me as an individual and I felt he tailored lessons to suit my learning needs. For me, feeling comfortable and confident and calm after I made mistakes was the main thing holding me back from progress. My previous instructor had been quite harsh and I felt tense around her so I found it hard to engage in lessons and focus. Alan is so nice and clear in his instructions that I soon got over this and began to enjoy driving. The LDC book was a helpful resource to refer to between lessons and if I had any questions (ie. what to bring to the practical exam) I could get in touch with Alan at any time and he was quick to reply. He made sure I was familiar with the possible test routes from the start which was also very useful. All in all, I found lessons with Alan to be reliable, clear, progress-making, student focused and most of all enjoyable. I highly recommend him as an instructor.
