Couldn’t recommend Zubair more. Such a great driving instructor. Super patient, really easy to get along with. He’s always making jokes and trying to make you improve your driving skills. He ensured i passed first time by pushing me out of my comfort zone and making me a better driver. He always replies quickly and with great advice.
I can’t recommend Ali enough for helping me pass my test first time with only 15 hours with him. He was incredibly patient, professional and helped me feel confident behind the wheel which made the learning process for me so much easier. We managed to cover a lot in little time and I felt fully prepared for every part of the test. He was genuinely a lovely person and great teacher!!
Richard is very patient and always took the time to explain thing’s thoroughly. As an anxious person he put me at ease and helped me become confident with my driving. Also very reliable would 100% recommend.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your guidance and support throughout the course. I’m happy to share that I passed the test, and I truly believe your clear explanations, patience, and dedication played a major role in that success.
Your teaching style made challenging topics easier to understand, and you always encouraged us to think critically and stay confident. I genuinely appreciate the effort you put into helping us learn and grow.
Thank you again for being an excellent instructor.
Sheri was very professional throughout my time with her. She has been very good for giving motivation and constructive criticism at the right time to help me pass first time. Would 100% recommend her to anyone learning

I had Chris hall as my instructor at the get go I knew we would get along he explains everything in details if your a slow or fast learner he will guide you. Dont be afraid to ask questions as Chris will have the answers for you if anyone has Chris you need to know you got a really good instructor and don’t worry about losing money

My instuctor glen was amazing, taught me so much so quick, helped me focus on my flaws and supported me through my time with him

After failing twice with previous instructors my confidence was low. Getting lessons with Rayan helped bring my confidence way up and his style of teaching helped me become way more independent and focused. Finally allowing me to pass my test.

Richard sharp, Selby
I was really nervous to start driving, but Richard was very patient and helped me build up my confidence through the lessons. This led me to passing first time, I would recommend him to anyone wanting a great driving instructor.

Emma has been an incredible driving instructor from start to finish. She’s very patient, explains things clearly, and always made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. She helped me work on my weak areas and built my confidence every lesson. I passed my driving test and couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommended!

My son had 20 hours of lessons with ‘Elizabeth’ during which time he never got out of 4th gear or went above 30mph. All 20 hours in one single housing estate. Was berated for not bringing a cushion (he’s 6 foot) and had lessons cancelled because she thought he was tired!
Lost all his confidence and passion for driving.
At the end of the 20 hours we told her we were stopping.
Booked him with another school (Golden Mile - Blackpool).
3.5 days on intensive lessons and he passed his test. Would never recommend Bill Plant.

Would 1000% recommend Josh Winstanley for anyone looking to get on the road!
