Edgar is the most gentle, softly spoken, PATIENT driving instructor you could ever hope to have teaching you. I couldn't have been the easiest of pupils. As well as being involved in a crash many years ago (as a passenger) and having been previously taught by a bad instructor that all but destroyed any remaining self confidence in driving I had. I also have a terrible memory that leads me to being very nervous and forgetful. It's a testament to Edgar's experience and social skills that he has managed to overcome my real fears and doubts. (I know how much cars can hurt if they hit you!).

Edgar never displayed any frustration, or raised his voice, never once said "You should know this by now" and was just as quick on those dual controls protecting you on the last lessons as he was on the first. Starting every lesson (punctually) with a smile and a "How are you?" his gentle demeanour and quiet chuckle put you at ease and he always answers your questions and never tires of having to repeat himself. (Especially with me!) He's a perfect tutor for the young, female, nervous, the elderly (the forgetful!) and those who want to ENJOY driving as well as feeling completely safe and informed. Despite any nerves you have he'll put you at ease, be ready with an instruction and why you should do it.

You'll look forward to the lessons… really! A genuinely nice human being I have got to know over the course of my tutelage, and whose teachings will remain with me as muscle memory long after the test. Coming from me that means something! Someone who loves his job and loves to drive. Everyone remembers a good teacher and you couldn't want for a better tutor than Edgar. Looking forward to taking my Pass Plus with him.

The LDC book and DVD are also very useful. An actual Driving Test is included on the DVD which is especially helpful as unlike youtube videos it also includes the interior mirror view so you can "drive along" with the video and get used to checking the mirror when not driving. (if they had left and right mirror views it would be perfect!).
