I had the best time learning to drive with Nathan. He was incredibly patience with my anxiety and put me at ease to the point I am now much more comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He always managed to correct my driving and deal with errors in a calm way but also making sure I understood the mistakes I'd made and how to correct them. He also encouraged me to make progress and do the things I was scared of such as the quarter bridge and my theory test. I probably would still be riding the bus if it wasn't for his encouragement and belief in me. He taught me to pass my test but also to be able to drive in real life situations and deal with anything the road throws at me. He is also very easy to get on with and has a great personality which made such a difference to the lessons. Id very highly recommend Nathan to anyone who is nervous but wanting to learn to drive in an environment that feels comfortable and safe :)Read full reviewClose full review

I’ve had a number of driving instructors over the years, but only Nathan got me my licence. His laid-back, low-pressure attitude, attentiveness and ability to simplify driving made every lesson a joy. I cannot recommend Nathan enough!
Nathan not only teaches you how to pass your test, but also how to drive confidently. Lessons are enjoyable and comfortable, and I would definitely recommend him.
Passed my test first time with zero faults after only five months of driving with Nathan. Professional, flexible and patient — I cannot recommend him enough.
Excellent tuition prepared me to pass first time with only three minor faults. Nathan’s supportive attitude quickly gave me confidence.
Brilliant instructor and a genuinely great guy. Makes you feel comfortable from the minute you get in the car…
He is an exceptionally diligent professional with an unparalleled depth of knowledge across all aspects of driving.
Fantastic instructor. Nathan is one of the best around. Always on time for lessons and very reliable.
