When i reached the age of 38 i'd given up the hope of ever learning to drive. I'd 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). I'm 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 don't 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

I was quite nervous about driving for the first time, but Andy's relaxed yet organised manner made me feel completely at ease from the first lesson. The terrible jokes got even worse as the lessons progressed but they definitely took away the nerves when it came to my test! Andy's been a great instructor and I'm very thankful to him for making me a confident and competent driver. Thanks! Ali x

 I had alot of fun learning to drive with Andy. It was laid back and entertaining (if you can call the jokes entertaining), and i always looked forward to the next lesson. It was great that i could have so much fun whilst learning how to drive as some friends found their driving instructors strict and boring but you have a laugh as well as learning to drive properly at the same time. Andy's a great teacher and i highly reccomend him to anyone, as i have done to many of my friends already. Thanks Andy, Simon. (he did not even give me free lessons to say this).

I passed first time thanks to Andy. At first I was extremely nervous and wasn't at all confident behind the wheel, but Andy helped me to enjoy driving and my confidence grew. He always knew when I was ready for the next step even before I thought I was, but looking back he was right every time. At the end of each lesson I felt my driving had really improved. I was always able to have a good laugh with Andy even if most of his jokes weren't great! Andy was a lovely instructor (not in a gay way) and i couldnt have asked for anyone better. Many thanks, Chris

It was my 17th birthday on 26th January08..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!

In regards to learning to drive, I would personally say that you can't go wrong with Andy. Not only are his methods easy to pick up, he makes you fell at ease and you honestly do have fun; which is always important! Without doubt, I would totally recommend him. Finally (and I'm not just saying this!), he is a genuinely nice guy who will do his best to ensure you are a competent driver. Many thanks Andy for your teaching and enabling me to pass my test!

Andy's Driving School does what it says on the tin! He passes you quickly, with confidence, and without dragging  extra lessons out of you! (He passed me first time in only ten weeks!).

 I enjoyed my lessons with him that much, that I often didn't realise when we went overtime "just to perfect that manoevre" its things like that that make you realise Andy really does care about you passing, your not just another statistic to him! Andy is a great laugh, and an even better driving instructor! He came highly recommended, and I'm recommending him also! Thanks for everything Andy!

Its been great fun having Andy as a driving instructor, I couldn't of 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, with the occasional... well, fairly often, bad jokes to keep me smiling. 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 I have done my Pass Plus its strange to not to have lessons each week and I will definitely miss those bad jokes. Thanks for everything Andy, you've been great!
