Dave was the best instructor he’s so calm and patient with everything, even if you do something wrong he’ll talk you through it calmly, and always go through what you’ve done on the lesson and I genuinely enjoyed our lessons and I couldn’t thank you enough for teaching me.
Response : It was a pleasure. Now seeing you in your little red car Drive safe.

Dave was the best instructor I’ve had, really understanding on personal lives and he likes to have a good chat and a joke with you. Passed 1st time with him and will miss having the lessons with him. Would recommend him for anyone needing an instructor.
Response : I will miss our chats. Well done. Let me know when you get a car. Dave.
Kieran Rawson
Hull
Excellent company, always understanding of personal life and always supportive. Personally, having Dave as an instructor was a blessing and made everything 10x easier from the first lesson to the last, would highly recommend him and the company to anyone and the only bad part about passing being not seeing him every week, high quality from the very first day.
Response : Well you make the full set. It’s been a pleasure . When you get a car let me know.
Marika Habko
Hull
Genuinely the best driving instructor someone could ask for. He's incredibly patient, happy to answer and explain anything, and always caters the lessons to what you would like to focus on. I'm going to miss the horrific granddad jokes.
Response : Not grandad but pops. So glad you did it. See you are good Hope you’re all good. Dave.
Ellie Hoodless
Hull
Dave is such a kind and patient person. He helped me build my confidence so much and has always been so supportive. If I could rate him more than five stars, I would. I don't think I ever would've learnt to drive if it wasn't for Dave.
Response : Now you have your little car I hope to see you bombing around. Drive safe. Dave.
Jayne Peacock

An absolutely amazing instructor patient and understanding, helped build my confidence and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. As an older driver and never driven before I know I would never have passed without him. .
Response : Well done Jayne. You did brilliant today.
Owen C

Great driving instructor, raised my confidence. Had a lot of patience with his students and educated not just on the driving but what comes after you pass which, other driving instructors never did.
Response : Thanks Owen. I hope to see you in your little red car. Dave.

Dave is the best instructor out there, he’s calm, explains things without shouting if you do something wrong. All round great guy. You won’t go wrong with this guy.
Vanessa Powell
Hull
Best driving instructor I’ve ever had, he doesn’t shout if you do something wrong he simply explains so you can understand it better. He’s a right laugh always done to joke, I’m gonna miss having driving lessons with Dave. If you’re looking for an understanding and patience driving instructor then go with Dave. I would HIGHLY recommend him. Thank you Dave for supporting me until I passed my test.
Response : Well done. Now let’s see you in your little car. Drive safely Dave.
