I had a terrible experience with pass & go driving school and had no confidence left & didn't want to learn to drive anymore. Then I found Bill! And within five months he had me test ready & confident! I passed first time with only two minors! He is a fantastic teacher and person, he makes you feel totally at ease and clearly knows what he's doing from all the valuable experience he has at instructing! My advice to anyone looking to learn how to drive - go with someone private and not a driving school! Can't recommend Bill enough, I wish there were more stars to rate him. Read Less

A top class driving instructor. Having started lessons in October last year having never driven before, I have just passed following Bill's teaching and guidance. He made me feel comfortable and at ease from the first time I sat in the car. His method of teaching was extremely effective, tailoring the lessons to suit and providing very constructive criticism and encouragement to help iron out my weakest area's throughout the whole process. Bill is a genuine guy and even remained calm and patient when I gave him a few hair raising moments. I could not recommend him highly enough. Thanks for everything Bill. Read Less

Passed first time with 2 minors! Bill is a fantastic man to learn with and puts all his confidence in you to make you realise anything is possible! Having been with other driving instructors before, and recommended to Bill, I can only say I wish this had of happened sooner! He is such a genuine man and teaches you in a way which you will remember for yourself! He is encouraging, extremely patient and friendly. Can't recommend him anymore, you won't go wrong taking lessons with Bill Wilson! Thank you again and I will miss our drives!! - Ashleigh Read Less

Having previously failed my driving test with another instructor I was apprehensive about getting behind the wheel again but decided to give it a go again but this time with Bill as an instructor...well what a difference he made! The consummate professional and ever so calm; Bill made me feel at ease straightaway and really supported my trainer driver journey. No matter how many stupid mistakes I made Bill made me feel confident and was always so patient, even though I was pregnant and kept forgetting the manoeuvres! I would strongly urge anyone looking to learn to drive to do so with Bill- you will not be disappointed! Thank you once again Bill Read Less

I began my lessons with Bill in October 2014 as a complete beginner and ended up passing first time! Bill started by teaching me the basic handling of the car, adding extra actions in such as indicators or gear changes when I was ready, or taking them away when necessary. This allowed me to always feel comfortable and confident when driving and not overwhelmed, as it was all at a pace suitable for me. Bill often asked if there was anything I would like him to do differently i...n order to improve my learning, it was clear he liked to give each student a unique experience suited to them! Nearing my test, Bill allowed me to practice in the area I would be taking my test in order to feel at ease on the roads. In order to build confidence for my test, Bill was happy to conduct mocks, these were excellent help and allowed me to feel less nervous and more confident. Bill constantly sought to improve my knowledge of road codes and etiquette and helped me prepare for my theory test and hazard perception, pointing out road signs and upcoming hazards, helping me to spot them on my own. Not only was Bill an excellent instructor, but also a caring and kind person who made my experience of driving an enjoyable and stress free one. I cannot thank him enough! See More Read Less

I passed first time with Bill Wilson as my instructor. He is very friendly and put my nerves at ease in the first lesson. His instruction was clear and lessons were very well structured to focus on my areas of weakness. He has a good knowledge of the roads, was very punctual and managed to fit lessons in around my working times. When learning new things I was given print outs the lesson before to read over in preparation for the next lesson. This meant more time could be spent practicing driving rather than pulled over by the side of the road, a time and money wasting technique adopted by my previous instructor. Read Less
