Rick is an excellent instructor, I'd strongly recommend him. Throughout the process he graded by progress on the various things we covered and kept me up-to-date by email and he tailored the lessons to help with my weaknesses. At no point did it feel like we were just killing time, or rehashing things that I had down. I ended up passing my test the first time with one minor fault. Read Less

I can't recommend Rick's Driving School enough, Rick is an excellent instructor who is very professional, patient and a really nice guy. He keeps you updated with emails after each lesson with notes, your current level on each area of learning to drive, and clear helpful advice on any areas where you may be struggling. I can truly see why he has such a high pass rate. Thanks Rick, for helping me pass this week on my first try with only 1 minor. Read Less

Passed my test first time thanks to Rick, and so did my brother. An excellent instructor with good techniques to help you learn in the best way possible. Highly, highly recommend if you want to learn how to drive effectively and in good time. I had not stepped foot in a car before September 2017 and passed at the start of Febuary 2018. Thanks Rick!

Rick is an excellent driving instructor. He got me to a standard where I could pass my test first time (thanks very much - was really good to get this out of the way!), without rushing for the test or fluke on the day. He is very calm and to the point, and instructs you beyond what you will need to just pass your test, but also to make you a better driver after this. His patience and reassurance, but with him gently pushing your boundaries you will see yourself progressing rapidly but in a way that you are comfortable with. He was fairly flexible when I wanted to space lessons out a bit, but never cancelled or delayed a lesson from his end and they were always at the same time each week as organised.
I had to be put on a short waiting list for about 2 weeks but have no problems with this and it is definitely worth the wait. Thanks, Rick! See you for the motorway driving! Read Less

Rick is a great instructor, very patient and makes you feel very comfortable and well informed. He has an excellent first time pass rate and also gives you lots of feedback on progress and explains complicated junctions through ipad animations to make sure you fully understand them!

Thanks to Rick, I passed my driving test first time. He is very professional and patient. He would explain driving techniques in simple logic and go through any mistakes with you at the end of the lesson. He would also send you a report on your driving progress after each driving lesson. Personally, I think this is very helpful in terms of consolidating my knowledge. So I would definately recommend him to anyone! Read Less

Rick is fantastic driving instructor - he is very patient and a lot of fun but ultimately he knows there is a job to be done and will be firm with you when he needs to. He got me up to beyond test standard very quickly indeed and I highly recommend him to anyone learning drive as he is very easy to get on with - quite an important facet to have when you are spending a lot of time in a car together! Some slightly suspect football opinions but other than that a top bloke! thanks mate. Read Less
