Testimonials

Amilia Lokuge: “Very happy with Derek. Supportive and friendly, I’ve already recommended him to friends who are now taking lessons with him.”

Sarah Mutimer: “Very happy with Derek, he was better than the instructors I’d previously had and he was a big factor in me passing my test. I’m hoping to do my Pass Plus with him in the coming weeks.”

Andrew Ottey: “I passed my test in April (2008). Derek was an excellent instructor, he was informative and made me feel relaxed. I have already recommended him to friends!”

Daniel Sellman: “I’d learnt with other schools and instructors before, but had not always been completely satisfied. I got on really well with Derek, he was very professional, explained things in a thorough manner and I passed 1st time!”

Sarah Smith: “I could not praise Derek enough, he is an excellent instructor, very professional, friendly and explains things in a very clear manner. I was an extremely nervous learner but Derek made me feel at ease and with his patience and encouragement I passed my test 1st time with only two minors. I couldn’t have done it without him!”

Stacey Page: “Derek is a brilliant driving instructor. He is punctual and speaks in a professional manner but in a way that is easy to understand and remember. Derek gave me great confidence in my driving and I passed 1st time. I recommended him to a friend who has now taken his test and passed 1st time also!”

Maita Jenns: “Very glad to find an instructor like Derek. He explains everything well and he gave me a lot of pointers that are useful for my everyday driving. Very supportive when I failed the first time, we worked on my second test quickly and passed it!”

Sam Prior: “Having developed a lack of confidence from previous instructors, it was great to find someone who made me love driving again and who enabled me to pass 1st time. I wanted my friends to have the same high quality instruction, so I have recommended him to everyone I know!”

Tracy Kulaga: “I was more than pleased to have Derek as an instructor, his methods of teaching me were much better than the instructors I had previously had lessons with. If I didn’t find Derek I may not be driving at the moment as he helped me tremendously in getting me to pass my test. I am planning on having motorway lessons with him in the future and I recommend him to anyone who is looking for that special instructor who is committed to teaching!”

Aimee Mckeon: “Derek is very friendly, professional and reliable. Whenever I found an aspect of driving challenging, he was always patient and helpful. Without him I don’t think I would have passed 1st time, I definitely recommend him!”

John Wilkins: “Derek is professional, friendly and articulate. He explains everything clearly and thoroughly and makes you feel at ease in the car from day one. Thoroughly recommended!”

Sadia Ahmed: “Derek has been brilliant - a dedicated, patient and professional instructor. His calm nature and simple explanations helped me turn every mistake I made into a lesson-learnt and not a setback. Derek was recommended to me by my brother and after his thorough, calm and honest approach through each and every lesson I have continued to recommend him to all my friends. Thanks Derek for making my learning enjoyable and a success!”

Sarah McBain: “Great driving instructor! Who helped me pass my test first time with no minors at all! I have had several driving instructors and it became hard to keep swapping about and starting from scratch again but Derek made me feel confident in passing and was patient with me and easy going. All my mock tests helped alot around the time of my test”

Tina: “Derek is a very patient, friendly, and reliable instructor. He made me feel at ease whilst driving, and he explained things in a simple yet informative manner. It was his punctuality, dedication and professionalism which made my driving lessons worthwhile as well as enjoyable, and I have recommended him to everyone I know!

Joe Byrne: “Derek really helped me regain my confidence and belief that I could drive after a bad experience with a previous instructor. After failing my first test I did think about giving up, but changing to Derek helped me rekindle my love for driving and I passed my first test with him. He made me feel at ease from day one and I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends learning to drive.”
