Would 100% recommend Alan to anyone looking for driving lessons! Put me at ease and was very patient with me as i was very nervous to begin with.

100% would recommend Alan as a driving instructor. His forward teaching style worked perfectly for me. Very patient but also always knew when to push me out of my comfort zone so that i was always learning. Thanks for everything Alan.

Alan got me passed 1st time when I'm not the greatest learner. Nothing but a great teacher and really had me less anxious from the 1st lesson. Made learning to drive a great experience and would recommend to anyone. Really patient and easy to be taught by. Couldn't be any happier with the experience and extra knowledge I needed to be a good, confident driver. Thank you

I would recommend Alan to anyone wanting to learn to drive. When i first started with Alan i was totally inexperienced having never even sat in the driving seat of a car. He was very patient with me and gave me the confidence and motivation to pass. He also helped me a lot with my theory test practice and provided free online help. After i passed my test i also completed the pass plus course with Alan, where i had an input on what areas i wanted to focus on, which gave me even more confidence as a new driver.

Steering the car in the right direction, its not like mario kart!

Nervous but excited, i was fairly confident until i managed to stall the car coming out of the test centre!
How do your friends and family rate your driving?

Impressed by some, less than impressed by others!

Relax, its not mario kart, and listen to Alan. He'll help you through any issues
*Blushes* - And finally, what is the difference between a pelican and toucan crossing?
Thanks, that's put me on the spot!! A toucan crossing is for cyclists and pedestrians.
