So patient, supportive and most importantly Graham makes you feel so comfortable. Took me a few tries to pass my test (down to just plain nerves) but he knew i’d get there which i did! So thorough with his teaching and will push you out of your comfort zone only when you’re ready for it. I couldn’t recommend enough:)

Graham was really helpful in teaching me on how to drive.
He was very patient and supportive and made me feel more confident on driving with every lesson. Even on the days when I didn't want to
Iearn, he would encourage me to carry on so the lesson wasn't wasted. I cannot thank him enough for how much he has helped me learn. He is definitely a great driving instructor and I would highly recommend him for anyone wanting to take driving lessons with him.

Massive thanks to Graham from Get Driving Today.
When our son Kairo turned 17 in early July, Graham was our No1 choice of Driving Instructor. Two months later we have a new driver in the family with Kai not only passing his theory test the first time, but also his driving test the first time too.
Get Driving today has lots of resources for learners on a bespoke App which also shows the learners progress along the way. Kairo found the lessons enjoyable saying that Graham's teaching style and knowledge quickly put him at ease and gave him the confidence to go for a test just 12 weeks after his first lesson.
Thank you so much Graham, you truly are Bury's Best Driving Instructor.

Thanks Debi, If Kairo needs any further help you know where I am. Enjoy your new family taxi driver :)
Great instructor who is always calm and collected and very helpful too. I went with several instructors before Graham but they were all not very professional and never helped me improve to the level that I did with Graham. Hopefully this was helpful if your making a decision to go with my drive time.

I had been learning to drive with Graham for a few years now (thanks to covid), before learning with Graham I almost gave up on learning to drive completely and even had an instructor tell me that driving probably wasn’t for me. Anxiety has been a really big issue for me when learning to drive and Graham helped me overcome this. He was calm, patient, supportive, and gave good constructive criticism. Not only that, but Graham made me feel comfortable in the car and made learning with him feel easy. He was always able to tell when I was struggling or feeling more anxious and could change his approach to give me the support I needed. If I hadn’t have found Get Driving Today, I probably wouldn’t be driving now.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! Graham is a fantastic instructor. My daughter has passed on her first attempt because he has taught her to be a confident, capable driver. We can't thank you enough and I would recommend Graham to everybody. He is patient, kind and considerate to individual learning styles. Thank you, you have changed her life

Graham made me feel comfortable from day one and that really helped me feel confident whilst driving, he was always very supportive and helpful. Graham is also very patient and easy to talk to.
Overall, Graham is an amazing instructor, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to do their driving lessons.

All i can say is a massive thankyou - he has taught my daughter and son over the last 2 years.

Both are exceptional and confident drivers passing their tests on the first attempt.

I would definitely recommend him. The fact he constantly booked up reflects how good he is.

lf you are thinking of learning to drive within the next 12 months get in touch with him now to reserve your slot.

Graham was excellent. He was patient and helped me iron out any bad habits or mistakes through correct practice. Would recommend any new drivers use his services, he'll get you over the top guaranteed.

Last year, I decided to get my driving licence to improve my job opportunities and help my family at home after years of anxiety and doubt about whether I could do it. I was recommended Graham by a family member who passed their test with Graham as their tutor, and I don't think I could have chosen a better tutor.

Graham allows you to learn at the pace that best suits you and always gives you the best advice you need. Over time, with each lesson I had, I built up my skill as a driver and my confidence in believing that I could drive up to test day, where I passed with only two minors.

I cannot thank Graham enough for helping me build my confidence and control my anxiety, and I would highly recommend him to anyone that has any doubt about if they can drive.

I passed my test. A SENTENCE I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY!

I am unbelievably grateful for Graham & Get Driving Today, without him I would still be contemplating should I? shouldn’t I?

From the very beginning I was supported, encouraged, always made to feel capable and given an individualised & patient approach that combatted my severe anxiety and self doubt.

Graham took something I’ve been fearful of for 10 years. To helping me pass in 10 months. If you’re someone that wants to be seen and helped as an individual and not another number Graham is the driving instructor you need no questions asked.

100% recommend. Thank you for everything.

Thank You Graham !
Emily passed her test today .
Graham successfully took her from nervousness and lockdown delays to confidence and a full driving licence showing patience, kindness and professionalism at every stage. We now add Emily to our family of four drivers of highly successful motorists due to Graham’s sensitive tuition. After nine years of experience with Get Driving Today we thoroughly recommend you book your first lessons and know you will be delighted with your experience.
Gratitude from all the Seddon drivers to a great driving instructor

Cannot recommend Graham enough! A lovely man who helped me get through my driving test as I had to change instructors last minute due to unforeseen circumstances.

He is so kind, patient and was great at picking up where I had left off. My confidence at driving has grown immensely and not only this but I have more confidence in myself now.

Thank you Graham!

As a parent of an neurodiverse son who wanted to learn to drive, I did not know where to start looking for an instructor. So I posted a request on Yell and Graham got in touch. He came to visit and talked through Gregs needs and reassured us. Greg started learning to drive and passed on his first try.
What I found excellent about the service;
Updates provided of developing skills and knowledge
Excellent communication from Graham
Video footage of driving lessons
Supportive and understood Gregs needs

I would strong recommend Graham as a driving instructor and for any young person or parent who are worried Graham has been amazing, Greg was confident and passed first time.

Thankyou Graham for all your help and support.
Regards

Dawn and Mark

What can I say I have finally passed my driving test. A friend had recommended me to Graham as she had severe anxiety when she was learning too.
I had tried other instructors previously but they just put me off driving. I decided to give driving one more go. What a decision that was. I am now have my driving licence and my life has changed.
Thanks Graham

I believe everything happens for a reason and I wouldn’t be driving today if it wasn’t for Graham Evans. I’ve had four previous instructors to Graham, each time I was told I was ready I just knew I didn’t feel ready and so I hadn’t gone in for my test. I eventually picked up the courage to go in for my test with another instructor and failed.
Then fate played its hand, a space for became available to have lessons with Graham and I took it. He is worth every penny. For anyone who feel nervous, anxious, or just doesn’t have the confidence when it comes to driving, then Graham is the person for you. I was such a nervous driver before meeting Graham, but he makes you really understand all the elements needed to get someone on the road
He really listens to how you feel and picks up quickly on your learning style. I felt in a really safe space and if I had a question that I needed to ask I didn’t feel uncomfortable or stupid asking it, it’s a true testament of the wonderful and caring person he is.
He is patient, understanding and supportive. He genuinely wants to help you not only pass your test but to overcome any fears and become an incredible driver for the future.
Many people have said to me that you only really learn how to drive once you’ve passed, but I can say honestly that with Graham as your instructor you learn to drive properly before your test and you’re ready physically and mentally for test day.
Graham has a real passion for what he does and has recently started a course to help further the needs of his drivers.
Thank you so much for all of your support.

Fri, 26/11/21 was the day I finally passed my Practical Driving Test. I have been trying to achieve this "dream' of mine, on and off for 8 years, with 5 previous driving instructors with no success whatsoever.
Now looking back none of them were in the same league as Graham who I would describe as a "World Class" Driving Instructor.
Graham caters his learning and tuition to suit the needs and style of the learner which is how coaching should be.
The day of the test is where Graham's knowledge and experience makes a huge difference between passing and failing. He does this by pointing out all of the potential stumbling blocks around Bolton Test Centre.
Graham is the most patient driving instructor that I have ever had. I wouldn't have got over the 'finishing line' without him.
For me passing my driving test is like winning a World title in Snooker. (I am a massive Snooker fan, if you hadn't guessed.) Haha
I am very grateful for everything that Graham has done to help me achieve my dream. It will open up so many doors and opportunities for me, going forward.
I would 100% recommend Graham as the go to man when it comes to learning to drive and passing your test. The whole experience has been amazing!

I would like to “highly recommend” Graham from Get Driving Today.
I want to share with you my son Philip’s story, Philip is 27 years old and has an
Autistic Spectrum Disorder and had been trying to learn to drive on and off since August 2013.
He had worked his way through 5 different Driving Instructors, failed his
Practical Driving Test twice and even made a costly, unfortunate mistake when booking his test. On one occasion, he inadvertently booked a test at Bury St. Edmunds instead of Bury, Lancashire!
I had been unwell suffering from anxiety and depression for quite a few years and wasn’t able to support Philip in his quest to learn to drive.
In July 2021, having now fully recovered and in a position to support Philip in
“fulfilling his dream” of passing his driving test I set about trying to find the “perfect” Driving Instructor for Philip, someone who could understand Philip’s
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (although Philip is very high functioning)
Someone who has compassion, patience and a willingness to adapt driving lessons to suit Philip’s style of learning.
I had to find the “needle in a haystack”, what a challenge!
I contacted The Association of Disability Driving Instructors and a very helpful gentleman listened to me talk about Philip and said “Graham Evans is the man you need”.
I contacted Graham straight away and although his diary was already full with current learners he immediately said without any hesitation that he wanted to take Philip on.
He came out to meet Philip & I and listened carefully to all that we had to say about Philip’s needs. He very quickly got the measure of Philip’s current driving skills and lessons began immediately.
Yesterday, 26th November 2021, I am delighted to say that Philip passed his Driving Test. It was a very emotional day, Philip, Graham and all our family are “over the moon” that Philip has finally achieved his ambition.
Over the years Philip has shown great perseverance, hard work, determination and an attitude of “never give up” but this wasn’t enough, it took Graham Evans to get Philip over the finishing line and we are all indebted to him for this.
Graham is a very kind, patient and lovely man. He is very much on the side of those who have the odds stacked against them. He is a brilliant Driving Instructor and I have no hesitation in recommending Graham to one and all!

Graham from Get Driving Today taught my daughter and despite the various breaks enforced by Covid lockdowns gave her the skill and confidence to pass her driving test on her 1st attempt. He is that good i have already booked him to start teaching my son from Jan 2022. I recommend that you book early because he is always in demand.

Thank you so much to Graham and Get Driving Today! I 100% wouldn’t have been able to do it with anyone else as proven by spending 4 years with other instructors that made me very uncomfortable and nervous, whereas Graham is very patient and helped me overcome a lot of my anxiety with certain aspects of driving. I am very grateful for all the help I received.
I could not be any more happier right now!!! 6 years (lots of gaps in lessons and covid)
3 different instructors and 4 tests later! I’ve finally done it. So glad I got recommended to Graham as I would have probably given up on learning to drive by now.
