100% recommend as an instructor

The best instructor I’ve ever had; Les is extremely knowledgeable, supportive and calm and has gotten me from struggling with basically every aspect of driving to being able to say I’m a confident driver, having passed my test first time with only 1 minor. I started out with major driving anxiety, fear of the roads and thinking I would never be able to pass but Les has been so supportive in the way he teaches and helping me understand what I need to do to be a better driver for myself and others on the road. I’ve got a positive outlook on driving now, and I really feel it’s down to the time Les puts into developing core skills like judgment, planning and awareness in the car. I would also like to mention how patient Les is! I really really struggled in the beginning but Les tailored lessons so I could push myself to try new skills or keep practicing ones that he knew I’d get the hang of, which helped massively with my confidence levels and getting to grips with everything on the road. Very enjoyable lessons and I would recommend to anybody looking to find an instructor in Newcastle!
Les was an amazing instructor

Les was an amazing instructor who helped me work through all of my anxiety surrounding driving. From the beginning, Les was calm and informative and adapted to my style of learning. He boosted my confidence and always worked with me to reflect on any mistakes and helped me realise on my own what I needed to change. Les created fun yet educational lessons, and I always looked forward to my lessons each week. I enjoyed the reflective aspect of the lessons, writing notes about what I enjoyed, what I struggled with, and what I would like to work on moving forward. I found that Les made learning to drive enjoyable and never pushed me to do anything he didn’t believe I was capable of. Without Les’ belief and confidence in me, I would still feel unconfident and anxious on the roads. After 8 months of hard work with Les and his guidance, I was able to pass first time with only 2 minors!
Les is an amazing instructor

Les is a amazing driving instructor from the start he helped me to become a much safer driver, he is really patient and let’s you learn at your own pace rather than rushing you. By the time I was put in for my test I felt I could confidently drive safely on any road. Massive thank you.

Les is calm & laid back

Les is such a calm and laid back driving instructor but he also makes sure you’re doing the right thing and always helps you correct faults. He makes it so easy to learn as you always feel relaxed while at the wheel and you pick things up very easy by the way he teaches.
Great lessons and instructor

Les is a fantastic instructor I couldn’t imagine learning from a better guy. He always gives you time to learn new things and never puts you under any pressure or stress. I would thoroughly recommend Les to anyone that is wanting to learn to drive.
