Sorry it's took so long to get on and do it but after the new found freedom i've had driving i haven't found chance. I'd held a provisional license for about 7years and had a terrible first driving instructor who didnt know that he had to leave the pedals to me, then i had another few with a 'nameless' national driving school who weren't interested in teaching only in taking money. Then i found Andy and as soon as i got in his car i relaxed and found it easier to concentrate on driving than with previous instructors, after a few lessons it was like i had been driving for ages and i liked the laid back approach to his teaching (although sorry Andy you need a new joke book) and after a couple of months tuition i took my test and passed first time so seriously having tried the rest i passed with the best, try it yourselves and find out. Cheers Andy for turning me into my fiance's personal chauffeur.

Having known Andy for many years I thought it would be a good idea to have him for driving lessons and it turns out I made the right choice. Andy's laid back approach to teaching puts you at ease for the first few lessons, helping you gain in confidence. His methods enabled me to quickly pick up general driving and all the relevant maneuvers in plenty of time for my test. I am really pleased I had Andy as my instructor and will definitely miss his lessons. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about learning to drive, and can guarantee above all, you will thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks Andy for all the effort you put in!

Thank you so much for getting me through my driving test. I was very nervous when i started, but you made it seem so easy. My lessons were always a laugh, to pass 1st time was beyond my wildest dreams but you made it possible. If anyone asks me who to have as a driving instructor i would always say you. Many thanks for all your help. P.S I actually miss my lessons now.

Andy is actually the best, and i'm gonna miss him and his questionable quality jokes (hehe) when I go out on my own. He never got angry and always made me feel safe and at ease. I passed first time (the 8th out of 8 this year to pass) with only 3 minors. He never makes you feel stupid, no matter how silly the mistake is that youre making, he always reassures you and he really cares about you. He is a brilliant instructor and a brilliant guy too, never a dull moment. I would reccomend him to everyone. Youll never dread a lesson with him, itll never seem like a chore, and you always feel like youve improved one heck of a lot after every lesson. So thank you Andy for everything!

Andy's lessons were fun. He always has a joke... or 10 to tell, and will put you at ease when your in the car, i was nervous before my first lesson, but he took away the nerves straight away. He doesnt get angry when you make stupid mistakes, but uses them to make you a more compitant driver, he doesnt only teach you how to get through your test.. but teaches you to DRIVE.
I passed my test first time, and he is now a good friend of mine, i miss having my driving lessons every week.
I recommended andy to all of my friends, and would recommend him to anyone, his calm teaching style and sometimes poor jokes make him a superb teacher, and if i had to choose again, it would be andy everytime.
Thanks andy!

It's been great fun having Andy as a driving instructor, I couldn't have wished for a more understanding person to help me learn to drive. I was doing well fairly quickly and I felt that Andy's teaching style suited me perfectly. Although my confidence caused a few problems preventing me from passing straight away I don't think I could have tried again without Andy's help. He's a fantastic instructor and now that I have done my Pass Plus it's strange not to have lessons each week and I will definitely miss those bad jokes. Thanks for everything Andy, you've been great!

I really miss having my driving lessons. I hate to admit it but I even miss your cheesy jokes Andy! Just want to say thank you for helping me gain confidence and for making driving so enjoyable, and for the chocolate biscuits!! I really would recommend Andy to everyone. Such an honest and lovely man, who genuinely wants his pupils to pass. Thanks for everything Andy!!

Driving lessons with Andy were a lot of fun. He never once got angry over my mistakes and was always patient. If I was nervous, he'd tell particularly bad jokes to help me relax and keep helping me out until I finally got it. Andy always lets you judge your driving rather than being condescending like other instructors. For example he will ask you if you want to do that situation again now or try later and try something else in the meantime. I could not be happier with the driving experience I received with Andy, his car is easy to drive and you always get your full time (sometimes more if needed) and a friendly calm atmosphere. If you want to learn the easiest way to get the best results with as little stress as possible, Andy is your man.

Andy's Driving School does what it says on the tin! He passes you quickly and with confidence, and without dragging extra lessons out of you (he passed me first time after only 10 lessons. I enjoyed my lessons with him that much that I often didn't realise we went overtime "just to perfect that manouvre". It's things like that that make you realise he really does care about you passing, you're not just another statistic to him. Andy is a good laugh and an even better driving instructor! He came highly recommended and I am recommending him also. Thanks for everything Andy!

Andy's a great guy and will not make you have more lessons than you need and will teach you everything you need to know for your test. He is always up for a joke and a laugh so that your lessons are not boring and will teach you from any level of experience. Thanks Andy

Andy is a really nice guy who will never try to rob you by arranging lessons you donʼt need. He has a great sense of humor which allows you to relax whilst driving, which is what you want!

he takes the time to explain all the manouveres and will not make you feel stupid if you get something wrong.

Andy helped me pass my test first time with four minors after only a month and a few weeks of lessons! which is a credit to his teaching.

Thanks again Andy!

It was my 17th birthday, and I was desperate to drive! The option of a 1 week intensive course seemed a bit daunting, as i wanted to learn safely and be able to feel in control and confident whilst driving, so i decided to learn with weekly lessons. With Andy i was able to have 2 sometimes 3 hours a week of driving lessons, and they were so fun and enjoyable i was just as excited for every lesson as i was for the first( wich was in my actual birthday). Andys a real laugh, and you get every minutes worth of your lesson. I never felt like i was being cheated and taught anything i already knew, but every new hurdle was taught so that that i was confident and knew exactly what i was doing. Andys always really relaxed and understanding, aswell as thinking himself as a good joke teller( hmmm :S) His patience is unbelievable, and hes really honest in telling how well your doing. I was sooo happy when i passed my test! First time i might say, and with only 1 minor! :D and i am very thankful to everything Andy did to help me because i dont think i could have learnt everything so thoroughly and in such a short space of time( 2 months and 19 days) and still love driving as much as i do now. So thankyou sooo much! I would honestly recomend Andy to anybody, whether you want to learn super quickly, or feel nervous about driving, because Andys calm temprement is perfect for a driving instructor!

Andyʼs driving school is, in my opinion, the best around; this is due to the fact that he is a fantastic guy first and foremost who is willing to teach anyone. My experience of him is completely positive, i honestly cannot think of any negative points regrading him. Andy will give you the teaching you need to pass your test, but what makes him different is he will ensure that you enjoy yourself whilst learning; this means that you will learn better and more quickly as you always perform better in things that you have fun in. I would therefore definitely recommend him to anyone who is wishing to learn to drive. Many thanks Andy!

When i reached the age of 38 iʼd given up the hope of ever learning to drive. Iʼd had two attempts earlier in life but never felt in control so i gave up. Then someone brought me a block of lessons as a gift. It took me six months to pluck up the courage to contact the driving school as i was so nervous about it. I remember my first lesson well. I was so nervous and scared but Andy was wonderful and put me at ease after about 30 minutes. He even made me laugh with some really terrible jokes. Over the next few weeks i was still really nervous but slowly, slowly i beagn to actually DRIVE!!! Andy was kind and patient and really listened to my concerns. He never made me feel stupid and always kept a calm level head even when i did something mega stupid (and that was quite often in the early days). Iʼm not a natural driver and found lots of the manoeuvres hard but Andy had loads of different ways to show or explain things to me and nothing was ever to much trouble. He encouraged me all the way and in January this year i passed my test (first time). I donʼt think i could of done this without Andy and i will always be grateful to him for his understanding and patience. Thanks Andy your a star x
