My driving experience with Nick has been a real journey, and a very positive one! I came across Nick on recommendation, and having done the semi-intensive course with him, I can see why he is so highly regarded.

Nick was extremely fair in his assessments of my progress, and I found him fantastic at handling me whenever I felt stressed or under pressure. Given that I am prone to some panic behind the wheel, with any other instructor, I might not have been able to ultimately regain the calm and the patience that it takes to drive well - and safely. Nick was the ideal combination of gentle and kind, and pushing me to progress when he judged that I was capable of doing so.

Nick was able to react quickly to the type of student that I was, which made me improve more quickly than I had thought imaginable. He was direct yet sensitive, so I had a realistic idea throughout of my level of progress. Whenever I made mistakes, he was fantastic at being able to identify what the problem was, why it recurred, and accurately suggest what I might comfortably be able to do to address it.

He was encouraging, and able to make me feel comfortable from beginning to end; and he was hugely supportive on the day of my test, despite my nerves peaking again!

On top of it all, he is a really lovely person, easy to chat to, a friend that I looked forward to seeing every week - and who saw me through the lessons and on to a first-time pass!

I could not recommended him more highly.
