Derek is honestly an awesome instructor. After struggling with a previous instructor for over a year and a half and failing my test a few times I was nervous, and completely lacked any confidence. I finally bit the bullet and booked a couple lessons with Derek and immediately seen a difference in my driving. He's calm and super friendly but he's also firm and makes you reflect on your mistakes yourself rather than just immediately telling you that you done something wrong. And through his teaching I finally passed my test! Seriously, best instructor ever!

Derek was brilliant, since the 1st lesson made me feel comfortable and it was so easy to learn from him. Passed my test 1st time with him, would recommend him to anyone.

Could not recommend Derek enough!! Last year I started my lessons without a clue and really nervous behind the wheel. Today I passed my test first time! He is very patient, doesn't just give you all the answers, let's you come to the conclusions yourself, which means you actually learn how to drive, and you aren't just doing the bare minimum to pass the test. My confidence on the road has skyrocketed with Derek as an instructor, now I just need to learn how to deal when he's not in the car!!

Took 3 years away from driving lessons and came back to pass first time after 3 fast months of lessons. Great instructor with the patience of a saint, always made me feel at ease when I was freaking out.
