Steve is brilliant driving instructor, he is very patient, calm and knowledgeable. Steve helped me to feel well prepared for the test, and gave me lots of confidence. He´s also very good at making you feel a lot calmer in new and stressful situations!

I want to thank Steve for everything he´s done for me, I would definitely recommend him as a driving instructor, I really enjoyed my time learning to drive with Steve! Thankyou Read Less

Best instructor ever. Steves teaching is so good and focuses on the pupil and he has a really laid back approach. When I first started driving I really struggled with my confidence but Steve has helped me so much. His app is really good and he has helped me pass both my theory and practical test first time. I honestly don't think I would of passed either first time without the help from Steve and his wise words. Thankyou so much for teaching me Steve :-) Read Less

I can highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for driving lessons and becoming a confident driver. When choosing an instructor I went on the reviews from his website and wasn't disappointed. Steve has been an excellent instructor and his patient and supportive teaching style allowed me to learn at my own pace. The lessons were supported with access to Theory Test Pro and additional tuition videos through his free app. Thanks to Steve I was able to pass both my theory and practical driving tests first time round!
