I needed a few driving lessons to get me back into driving after being at University for three years without a car. Lee was brilliant; patient, calm and very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Lee, I was a particularly nervous driver, but now I am much more confident. He explains how to drive in a really easy way and doesn't over complicate things. I also had a lesson on the motorway with him, for which he was again brilliant!

I first started learning with Lee a couple of years ago, only doing so due to pressure from work having had serious phobias of driving since i was a child. I found Lee calm, patient, positive and encouraging.
Having let things slide until july 2011, I once again started learning with Lee. Despite my often poor attitude to advice, Lee was always there for me, very understanding and never gave up on me even when I had.
After 3 failed tests (all down to extreme nerves and anxiety)I was ready to give up but Lee had total belief in me and persuaded me to book another test, he'd never doubted my driving ability and this was plain to see.
2 weeks ago I took my fourth and, I'm pleased to say, final test and was finally successful!!
Lee's a great guy, always good fun, patient, cheerful and is very understanding when things aren't quite going right or when you just can't get something. I also had a motorway lesson this week then drove 280 miles the next day! I couldn't have done it without him

Lee is a fantastic driving instructor! His calm and friendly approach made driving lessons enjoyable and really enabled me to feel confident behind the wheel.
Whenever I was unsure over something Lee was always patient and explained the answer to me so that I could understand. He would always help me remember important things with his rhymes which I've never forgotten!
I passed my driving test first time, which I don't think I would have been able to do without him! Lee didn't just teach me to pass my test he taught me how to be a good driver.

Learning to drive is the most important skill anyone can ever learn. That's why you need to be taught by, literally, the best. Ranked as the 5th best Stortford business and the best driving instructor, Lee is the most communicative, punctual and organised driving instructor around. Driving with him is a pleasure, which is coupled with his interesting personality (as a thespian and cyclist who has completed the Land's End to John O'Groats challenge for charity).

Lee always remains calm and attentive- this isn't just a job for him. His methods (debriefing and mock tests) are second to none. Lee understands how his students feel, and knows how to handle these feelings in the most suitable manner. At £25/ an hour, Lee provides exactly what you would expect from a driving instructor- and more! (The turbo diesel engine being one factor).

Having passed first time, I can safely say that i've never been let down by this instructor. I look forward to completing my pass plus with him!

The day before yesterday I passed my driving test at Bishop Stortford test centre with only a single minor fault. This is a particularly high score...and it's all thanks to Lee's exceptionally patient, informed style of teaching. He is fun, sympathetic and inspires confidence in anybody. I am 44 years old and had a lifelong dread of driving having been knocked down early in life. In my twenties I failed my driving test 5 times. After a twenty year gap I came to Lee and after a fail in August I passed with flying colours this week because Lee had faith in me and taught be the best techniques to be a good driver, not just for the test, but for life. Everlasting thanks!

I came to Lee after not getting anywhere with my previous instructor. When my first lesson didnt get off to a great start, Lee was very patient and friendly and when i put myself down he knew how to pick me straight back up again! - And that same attitude carried on throughout the course.
From then on, i couldnt wait for my next lesson and every lesson after that, as Lee is a great instructor and this is the reason why my brother and my friends also learnt with him.

I joined Lee, after my older brother passed successfully with him. I was told Lee was a great instructor. After my first lesson he was above my expectations! Lee is great instructor, makes you feel very comfortable at the wheel, and teaches you step by step how to become a good driver. Furthermore he is genuinely a very nice guy and learning to drive with him was a fun experience. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone looking to learn how to drive in a comfortable environment, with a patience and knowledgeable instructor.

Lee is an extremely patient and calm driving instructor, who immediately puts the pupil at ease by being chatty and personable. His friendly demeanour, creates a nice informal, stress-free atmosphere- which makes learning that much easier. I'm sure I was not the easiest pupil, but I managed to pass last week thanks to Lee! I would highly recommend him to anyone hoping to learn to drive.

My friend recommended Lee to me and I'm glad she did! I found it so easy to learn with Lee and felt very comfortable in every lesson. Lee is very easy to get along with and I found that this helped me in a massive way as I felt comfortable enough to say when I wasnt happy with something and we could then discuss it further. It also made me look forward to the lessons and I was eager to learn.

Overall Lee is a fantastic driving instructor and has the enthusiasm and drive (excuse the pun!) to allow anyone to enjoy learning and pass the test with flying colours! I am a very happy student and glad I passed with Lee.

I would definately recommend Lee as a driving instructor, especially for inexperienced and new beginner drivers such as myself!
Lee is a calm, professional and thorough instructor covering all aspects of driving.
He is relaxed, down to earth and friendly and has made my driving experience as a learner an enjoyable one. I now believe myself to be a confident and safe driver, not only for my test but for the rest of my life! These are the reasons why I will be taking my 'Pass Plus' with Lee and will continue to recommend him to my friends!
Thank you Lee!

I just passed my driving test thanks to Lee Gosden! I drove in the US for 10 years, then in the UK for the past year before having to take the dreaded UK driving test...I found out that I had picked up some poor driving habits, which I knew would be hard to change. Lee was very patient with me and always explained the reasoning behind various driving rules, which helped me pass the test on the first go! I can honestly say that I didn't just learn the skills for the test, but I'm a much better driver now and feel more confident on the road....and I can finally park properly!! There is NO way I could have passed the test without Lee's instruction. I would most definitely recommend him for any driver!! I can see why his students have such a high pass rate!

I found the number of Lee Gosden from a friend who said he was a very good instructor. I had never had any driving lessons before and I was quite apprehensive to get behind the wheel. Lee was very polite and really friendly which made the whole ordeal much easier than I could have imagined.
Even if I did something wrong, when I was kicking myself because of it he wasn't shouting or kicking me into shape. He simply said that it didn't matter and to learn from your mistakes. That's a phrase that will stick with me forever especially seeing as I unfortunately failed my first driving test to a silly mistake at a very annoying roundabout. Lee simply said just live and learn and I haven't done the same thing yet!!!
I passed my driving test today with the confidence I have gained thanks to Lee. I will now continue to drive with all the knowledge gained from this friendly guy. I would recommend him to all my friends but unfortunately I don't have any friends who can't drive.... I was the last!! I am recommending him on here instead to do my part!!!!!

i will and have recomended lee to many of my friends as a driving instructor. i had never been behind the wheel of a car before i started my lessons with lee so was very nervous, he is a very good teacher and down to earth,he will tell you when you are getting things wrong and explain the right way to do them in as much detail as you need,from the very first lesson i had with lee i felt very at ease and confident all the nerves i had before just seemed to dissapear.
Even though ive been having lessons for a while now and havent passed yet having lee as my instructer has encouraged me to continue, with every lesson i have with him im always learning something new or picking up things that i didnt the week before he makes all instructions very clear and easy to understand.
He is a very calm and patient person and have gained a loyal friendship within this.

My partner chose Lee to be the one to coax me back to driving after letting my driving skills lapse for twenty years! What a great choice he made. I was exceptionally nervous at the prospect of getting behind the wheel again but after a refresher course with Lee I am excited to be a driver again. His calm, patient manner and excellent communication skills soon put me at ease and were rectifying my mistakes and teaching me news skills with clarity and humour. I would recommend Lee to anyone wanting to learn to drive, whatever level they are at, without a moments hesitation.

After 3 failed driving tests I was beginning to lose faith in myself. Having already had 2 previous driving instructors I didn't think there was any hope for me! My friend introduced me to Lee who helped me to rebuild my confidence. Thanks to all of Lee's support, advice and fantastic teaching skills after several months I passed my driving test with flying colours. Lee made every lesson both enjoyable and interesting and he always made me feel comfortable as well as capable. I feel very lucky to have had him as a driving instructor and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to drive. Thanks Lee!

Learnt to drive with Lee back in 2007/2008 and am pleased to say I passed my test and am a competent driver, all thanks to Lee's teaching. I still use many of the skills learnt with Lee in my everyday driving, little tips and hints he suggested still stick in my mind now. He is an excellent driving instructor, very calm and patient and gave me great confidence behind the wheel. He teaches to drive at your own pace whatever your skill level. I would highly reccomend Lee as a driving instructor. He is a friendly and helpful precence and teacher in what can be a very difficult experience (well for me as I wasn't very good to begin with!)

I learnt to drive with Lee and would recommend him as a driving instructor. He aimed to make lessons enjoyable, provided practical experience balanced with theory. He was patient and found varied ways of explaining different techniques. I found him supportive and easy to get along with. He made the daunting task of learning to drive enjoyable and having passed my test I feel that I am a competent driver.

Lee Gosden gave me a manual vehicle refresher course as I had only driven autos since passing my test,
he was professional throughout , an excellent communicator and very patient. I used the knowledge
gained to drive a Lady to a Dinner Dance, that Lady is now my wife and we asked Lee to be the chauffer
at our Wedding.

I cant give a better recommendation than that.

Lee made my driving experience one to remember! Not only did he teach me to drive with professionalism, he made each lesson new and exciting!
It wasn't long before Lee made me feel like a comfortable and confident driver. Not only did I consider him as a driving teacher, but I valued his friendship as well. Whilst learning, i found that Lee was calm and collective throughout each session. He was enthusiastic to teach and I was eager to learn.
Overall, I fully recommend his unique style of learning.

Right from my very first lesson with Lee he made everything simple and explained everything perfectly to me. I quickly improved thanks to his tuition not only to pass the test but to drive for life. Every lesson I had with Lee was interesting and I always learnt new tips which none of my friends knew. He got me to a high standard quickly and it was easy to arrange lessons at short notice, whatever the time. Since I had such a good experience learning to drive with Lee, I decided to do pass plus to learn even more. I would never recommend anyone else.

I started driving lessons with Lee Gosden as my sister had recommended him; she had previously had 2 different driving instructors who had never been able to get her to a high standard. Lee is a very calm and patient driving instructor who is always willing to take it at a pace that suits the pupil. He will always explain why you may have made a mistake and then teach you how to get pass it and ensure that it doesn’t occur again. I think the best thing about Lee’s teaching style is that he teaches pupils how to drive for life not just to pass the test, which is essential to remain a safe driver. I think the reason why Lee’s pupils have been so successful and who have stayed safe and good drivers long after their test is because you can tell he enjoys his job and is motivated and determined to teach you all the skills he can which makes driving lessons fun and enjoyable.

I was introduced to Lee Gosden through a friend, and decided to book my first ever driving lessons. I didn't really know what to expect, which was partly the reason for being so nervous and quiet...but I was soon put at ease because Lee was very calm, patient and down-to-earth. I was always made to feel relaxed and comfortable behind the wheel, and taught how to avoid/rectify any potential mistakes rather than being made to feel guilty.

Lee provided all the usual attributes you'd want from a driving instructor such as patience, tolerance and reliability...but also allowed his personality and warmth to make the whole process a complete pleasure. These are the reasons that I have recommended him to friends who have all gone on to enjoy passing their tests! I never really thought that learning to drive could actually be so much fun!
