I too past my test first time yesterday, Andy gave me confidence to believe in myself, he was patient and made my lessons enjoyable. After I had started my lessons I bought my own car, I felt I wanted to learn in my own car, which was ok with Andy this boosted my confidence no end. Andy explains things in a way that is easy to understand, being a mature lady I didn't find learning to drive easy, but I would recommend Andy to any who wants to enjoy learning to drive. Again Thank You.
Passed first time with Andy yesterday! Would definitely recommend Andy as an instructor. He makes manouveres easy to understand, which was a benefit for me since the instructor I had before Andy was over-complicating things and kept forgetting what I had already done. Andy is easy to get along with and will look after you. Hoping to do my Pass Plus with him in a few weeks!
I was amazed when I passed my test on Friday. Before I started my lessons with Andy I was terrified of driving and I thought I could never do it. Andy kept telling me that I could and gave me the confidence to keep going. He is reliable, calm and understanding and never lost his patience even after showing me for the 100th time how to reverse around a corner! If I can pass with Andy then anyone can!
Andy is very patient and understanding driving instructor who put me at ease with his great sense of humour and a positive approach. Previously I had not driven for a year and lacked confidence and needed some refresher lessons. Andy offers great driving tips that are easy to remember for when I start driving on my own Thanks Andy!
Tassia J from Deighton.What can I say about Andy? Firstly he is the best instructor EVER,I have been with quite a few instructors previously and none came even close. He is only concern about achieving my goal and that is passing my driving test which I did on the first attempt today, April 10,2013. He is very professional,has a good sense of humour,reliable, extremely understanding, patient and I could go on and on. I am not a very quick learner and for me to pass the fisrt time is an achievement. I feel very comfortable with Andy and always look forward to my lessons. ANDY YOU ARE THE BEST AND THANK YOU X
I'd already started learning to drive years ago & gave up due to a bad instructor that put me off. I started lessons with Andy and it was completely different. He makes you feel at ease behind the wheel & is a laugh to learn with. I passed my test a couple of days ago thanks to Andy! Great instructor to learn with :)
Ahh, where should i start uncle Andy, he is one the best driving instruction i ve never had trust me i had few. He has a fantastic sense of humour and always make u comfortable. I ve passed my test this month and i m sad i ll miss having my lesson with him. I had an excellent time i ll recommend him any time to my friend and relatives without a doubt. Thank you ever so much for your help vanessa
Passed my test first time today!! Yeeaay!! Andy is a brilliant instructor,friendly,funny,easy to get along with,listens to your concerns and offers great advice! He got me driving on my first lesson which was fab as this didn't happen with previous instructors i have had in the past. I highly recommend Andy. THANKYOU!! :)
I passed my test first time on 8 March 2013 with only 2 minors thanks to Andy. His driving tips are easy to remember and with structured lessons I felt much more confident in no time. He made me feel very calm on the day of my test and it felt simple like he said it would. Thankyou very much.
From an extremely nervous novice to passing first time, none of the confidence and skill i now have would have been achievable without the best instructor. Andy has been that for me! Firm but fair, funny and calm, his approachable manner and patience and his fantastic driving tips have transformed somebody who, at over 40, thought driving was never a skill they would acquire. A miracle worker - and he even coped with all my new rules for roads and how I thought they should work!!
Tim took his test Wednesday 16th January 2013 and passed FIRST TIME!! From the very first lesson Andy put him at ease. Tim finds learning any new skill a challenge and Andy's calm but purposeful approach puts him amongst the best teachers around. What can I say but a big big thank you for putting up with his relentless chattering and excuses when things didn't quite go right. Andy is a first class instructor and has given Tim the confidence he needs not only with driving, but with life generally. Thanks a million Andy. Tim is now looking forward to when you take him out on the motorway. Tim. Crosland Moor
A driving instructor you can trust to thoroughly prepare you for your test . I have learning difficulties and I still passed first time.
Well what can I say but THANKYOU for all the fantastic help you have given me, I realy didnt think it would have been possible to teach me to drive as when I started having lessons my confidence was very low,over the weeks he made me believe maybe I could do this and pass my test and yesterday 12/12/12 I did just that!!! Andy puts you at ease and he is the perfect driving instructor.I have a back condition and he always made sure I was comfortable when driving and I know it sounds stupid but I will miss my driving lessons on a Thursday afternoon!!! Thanks again Andy your the best!!!!
Andy is the best! My first instructor was horrible and abusive, but Andy came to the rescue!!! And I passed today 22 November 2012 first attempt! He is calm, kind, friendly, but at the same time firm and in control. He always supported me and gave me confidence. THANK YOU ANDY!!!!
Test Passed Wednesday 7th November 2012 Ms Helen Louise Phayer Whoop Whoop. Andy is as superb instructor. If it wasnt for his encouragement and patience I would have given up learning a long time ago but thanks to him I am now the proud owner of a PINK licence and passed FIRST time. I would recommend Andy to anyone who is thinking about learning to drive. If he can teach me and I passed first time (I think I was the worlds worst and most nervous driver) he can teach you to drive too. One word "Fabulous". p.s. Also thanks to Andy I can reverse around a corner which I found extremely difficult but I think I am the worlds best parallel parker lol. BIG THANKS ANDY.
Andy is an AMAZING guy. I was so scared the first time i got in his car i was shaking but within 2 lessons he had me on main roads because he gave me so much confidence, and have now passed me test just 9 months later. He is a great instuctor and puts everything in such a good way you can remember them. Andy is also a fab gentleman, he made me feel so comfortable and at ease it was more like driving round with a friend. I will truely miss seeing him everyweek to have a moan and put the world to rights, and his little says he loves so much HAHA. thank you Andy your fab xxx
Well what can i say Andrew(No you hav'nt been naughty)Im a 53 year old Lady(Some would say not)and had given up any idea of learning to drive until a friend suggested learning in an automatic.I found Andy Riley on the internet.From the first to last lesson Andy Riley made me feel totally at ease and his calm and reassuring manner was second to none(at times i must have driven him to distraction)He was totally professional.I passed my test first time,with only one minor.I would not hesitate to recomend Andy Riley and can not thank him enough for the FREEDOM he has given me.TOP LAD and CHEERS.
When it comes to driving I think one name- "Andy Riley". I have had 3 driving instructors and by far Andy is the best. He is supportive, friendly and kind. He makes driving fun and everything is easy to remember. I am so thankful to Andy for getting me through my test. If everyone in the world knew from experience about Andy's lessons then the world would be full of automatic drivers and Huddersfield would be constantly swamped with people wanting driving tuition from him. Andy Riley is amazing and should be recognised as a 5 star world class driving instructor. My sister will be starting with him in September and I know she'll love her lessons. Thank you so much Andy Riley! :)
The self proclaimed 'most nervous/scared/hesitant person on the planet' (quoting from my first lesson) has passed their driving test FIRST TIME and would never have done it without Andy!From the very first lesson, I knew I'd made the right choice after Andy had been highly recommended to me by another first time passer of his. He instantly made me feel completely at ease and helped build my confidence with each lesson. Andy instructs in a patient, calm and encouraging way helping you to learn and enjoy every lesson. I made progress every week and my confidence grew with each lesson. I couldn't be a happier bunny right and this would never have happened without Andy's instruction. Thank you so much for absolutely everything. I already feel like a safe, confident driver and I never thought this day would come! Thank you so much Andy. You are the best! Monday's just won't be the same!
I passed!!! Yeah. Massive thanks to Andy. I must say i'm really going to miss my lessons with him. Andy is patient, kind, supportive, encouraging, he really helps build my confidence with every lesson. Andy make driving seems easy, alot of fun and laughs, he makes you feel relax and comfortable. So if you are planning to do your driving test in Automatic, Andy comes highly recommended by me. Thanks a million Andy, will miss you. You are a Star! Sherine from Mirfield
just passed my test this morning with Andy Riley, and I couldn't be more happier. Andy is the most talented instructor you could meet, he can empathise how a student feels in situations and guide you through it better then anyone, I have had previous instructors but Andy is by far the best 10/10! Andy goes above and beyond for his students and always puts you first, and understands that people have other commitments as well as driving, during lessons he is funny but also gets he's point across very well and has made me a great and safe driver, thank you Andy!

I passed my test today & what a fab feeling that is & its all thanks to one man - Mr Andy Riley & his loyal Suzuki! I can't thank Andy enough for helping me achieve my goal. He helped me gain my confidence and believed in me. Even when I felt like giving up at times he didn't. Andy is a professional, honest, reliable, friendly & patient driving instructor - I would recommend him to everyone. He never made my lessons feel like a chore & we always had plenty of laughs which helped loads. Andy again just wanted to say a massive thank you - you are a star!! Bonita
