Best instructor i've ever had!!
I honestly can’t recommend C1 Driving enough, especially my instructor Neil. He is incredibly qualified—there’s genuinely not much he can’t teach. From learners to C1 licences and his background in advanced driving, his depth of knowledge is outstanding and it really shows in the way he teaches.
From the very first lesson, Neil put me completely at ease. I’ve driven on and off for almost 10 years, but Neil made the biggest difference to my confidence, especially when dealing with other road users. He is incredibly understanding, empathetic, patient, and calm, with a great sense of humour that makes lessons enjoyable and relaxed. What really sets him apart is how well he understands the psychology of driving, alongside the theoretical and practical sides. This made the learning process far more effective and helped everything finally click for me.
Thanks to Neil, I was finally in the right place—both mentally and practically—to take my test, and I passed first time with no faults and no minors, which I genuinely don’t believe would have been possible without him. His teaching style, encouragement, and belief in me made all the difference.
If you’re looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, funny, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, Neil is exceptional. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and I’m so grateful for the experience.
