I would like to say a massive thankyou for helping me get that first time pass today Andy your teaching is absolutely bang on black and white you told me when I was wrong and told me when I did things right . Nothing wrong with constructive criticism you need to know when you’re doing things wrong so you get them right not everyone can deal with that but it worked well for me and it was exactly what I needed to achieve my result today very happy and it’s been a pleasure cheers again Andy

Andy is the best driving instructor I have ever had.
He is kind and supportive to his students. Not only does he improve your ability in driving he also helps your confidence with driving as well. Both me and my sister used him as our instructor and both passed first time and would not recommend anyone else .
Thanks again Andy

Andy was an incredible driving instructor and I would definitely recommend him to anybody! I needed lessons after not practicing driving for about 6 months and Andy helped me so so much! I was so nervous for my test and Andy helped me to control my nerves which was so helpful. Thank you Andy!

Andy is a fantastic instructor, and has a teaching style that worked perfectly for me and allowed me to pass my test on my first attempt. He is a very calm and measured teacher, and his style of instructing builds your confidence quickly by helping you to learn as you drive, rather than learning each skill piece by piece. I know what I learned with him will help me with my driving for years to come, instead of just helping me to pass the practical test.
Definitley give Andy a try, but make sure to prepare yourself for a seemingly bottomless repertoire of dodgy puns!

I cannot thank Andy enough for giving me back my confidence with driving. I contacted him looking for some refresher lessons, after several years of not consistently driving. I had 4x 90 minute sessions and went from the basics up to a full session of driving independently. Andy was calm and encouraging throughout and created a great environment for me to build my confidence and re-establish my driving skills. His instructions were clear throughout each lesson, and I really appreciated his honesty and pragmatism and encouraging me to get driving on my own. I've successfully driven my own car twice in the first few days after my last session, and I have been so much more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. I feel so much better equipped to drive independently after my time with Andy! I cannot recommend him enough for anyone whose anxious about driving after a prolonged break! (He also has some pretty great/awful jokes up his sleeve)

Andy is an exceptional driving instructor who not only ensures you meet the standard for the driving test but surpass it. As a once-anxious learner, I found it incredible that every aspect was broken down into rules, with thorough explanations of why I was doing something and its purpose. This approach was instrumental in transforming me into a confident and competent driver. Additionally, Andy goes above and beyond by offering a theory website/app, a valuable resource that played a crucial role in helping me pass my theory test—a rare bonus that sets him apart from many other instructors. There are truly few driving instructors like Andy who genuinely prioritize your success over monetary gain.

Andy is the funniest, nicest and most professional person I've ever met. Makes you feel relaxed and calm and is ace at instructing you. Helped me immensely and without him, I wouldn't be sitting here with a big grin on my face with my certificate in hand. Thanks Andy!!

When first sitting in the car I knew that Andy was the best driving instructor for me. He teaches through allowing pupils to do rather than sit and read through the manual. He is very good at reassuring pupils and managed to pass me first time. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a very good driving instructor.

Andy is one amazing instructor. If you’d like to learn by driving and not sitting around getting told what and what not to do, Andy’s the man for you. Would reccommend a thousand times.

I decided to start driving lessons with Andy in May 2023, prior to this I had a few hours experience and was not a confident driver. However, Andy boosted my confidence and my driving knowledge. I could not recommend Andy enough, he is well educated, very friendly and genuinely cares about his learners progress. I never had any issues with Andy, he taught me everything I need to know about how to drive safely. As my test date quickly approached, Andy gave me loads of advice and ensured I was ready for my test. Then on the 6th October, I passed my test with two minors.

I contacted Andy at the end of last year. At the time I had no experience of driving in the UK at all. Andy was able to quickly correct most of my driving errors. I am very grateful to him. I recommend his lessons to everyone, he is a true professional in his field.

Andy is such a great driving instructor and a lovely person. He was so understanding and patient throughout the whole time of learning and made me feel comfortable when driving and prepared for my test which I passed first time! The lessons were always fun with his great personality!
I will definitely be recommending to family and friends.
Can’t thank him enough!

It has been an absolute pleasure learning to drive with Andy. I was referred to him by a friend and I’m very glad that I was. Andy is a genuinely lovely person who can’t help himself when it comes to awful (but witty) dad jokes. He taught me everything I needed to know, meaning I was comfortable and relaxed on my test and I passed first time! I can’t thank him enough and I will definitely miss our weekly lessons but will certainly be recommending him to all my friends and family.

Andy is such a great driving instructor. From the moment I first sat in his car, to the moment I had passed my driving test, he helped me to stay calm and to actually learn everything in a way which made sense which enabled me to pass first time!
If you’re looking for a driving instructor to help you or somebody else you may know pass, I can’t recommend Andy enough.

From the moment that I got in the car with Andy on my first lesson he put me at ease and made the lessons thoroughly enjoyable! He was always there with friendly advice and helped me when mistakes were inevitably made. He was always encouraging and i never felt nervous getting in the car with him. He has a cheery personality and communicates throughout the lesson and makes the lessons fun. I cant recommend him highly enough and if you are looking for a friendly, helpful, encouraging and very personable character who can help you pass your test first time - Andy is the man to help you!

Andy has been an amazing driving instructor - and although of course extremely happy to have passed (thanks to his great teaching) I will definitely miss our lessons. Andy was always patient and reassuring and explained everything very clearly. I cannot recommend Andy's Driving School enough!

Andy is the best driving instructor I have recommended him to friends who are learning also. He is very patient and was really understanding of how nervous I felt with driving. With Andys support I was able to pass my test first time, the best teacher and anyone looking to learn to drive in lichfield should have Andy especially if you are a nervous driver with his patience and understanding he has made me feel confident with driving

From the first lesson Andy has been a truly professional and welcoming. He has always made me feel safe and comfortable when driving even when, inevitably, mistakes were made; I always appreciated his calm head in these situations as he quickly and professionally explained what went wrong in such a manner which was constructive and friendly. This behaviour led to me never feeling nervous before a lesson, instead I was always excited to drive with Andy because I feel he always tried his best to create a friendly environment through his witty sense of humour and kind persona. I will always appreciate what Andy has done for me because he has efficiently led me to pass my driving test first time through kindness and strong encouragement so I can look back on the process fondly. I truly believe he aways had my best interests at heart and would strongly recommend him to anyone who wishes to pass their test quickly and enjoy the process of learning to drive.

Andy is the best driving instructor in Lichfield - no denying now! Thanks to Andy’s amazing support our four kids have all passed first time, over the past four years. Andy’s patience, good humour and kindness has given them confidence and calm, and they have all become really safe drivers. Thank you Andy!

Andy started to teach me in September. He’s has been very professional with me at all time and made sure to make me feel comfortable during the lessons by making jokes and showing off how much french he could talk. He was straight forward with me all the time which helped me understand why he was asking me to do certain things and would always priorities practical exercises instead of doing a lot of theory which in my case help me to stay interested in the lesson.
Thanks to his help, I managed to pass my test first time around with 2 minor faults.
Would definitely recommend Andy if you want to pass quickly and effectively.

Andy is an incredible driving instructor. As a very nervous driver, his calm, patient teaching style was exactly what I needed! Thanks to his lessons I am now confident enough to finally get on the road, after 7 years of stalled attempts. Thank you Andy!
