Dave contacted me, after a recommendation from a friend at university.

I have had at least 80 hours of driving lessons at home, in Dorset, and hoped that a new instructor could help me to improve my driving skills which were lacking after all of the time and money I had invested.

My first lesson gave Dave a chance to see my driving level, and in the weeks of lessons to follow I stalled multiple times, failed to change gear appropriately, and made terrible use of my mirrors.

Dave has helped me to iron out the flaws in my driving, and gain the confidence needed to drive in busy areas.

The first 20 lessons went really well, and I could tell my driving was improving, and so I happily booked another block of lessons with Dave.

After many hours driving around town centres and practising manoeuvres, Dave suggested that I should book a test; at the time I thought I had no chance of passing as I was still not confident in my abilities, but Dave reassured me and my test was booked..

Leading up to the test, the lessons I had were really helpful, Dave gave me many helpful tips about my driving and I'm sure that I will remember "tyres on tarmac" for as long as I live!

Dave is a very professional instructor but at the same time he is easy-going and my lessons were enjoyable.

In just four months I have learnt so much, more than I did in two years at home!

I passed my test first time, on the 8th May 2012.

I am so happy that I now have the freedom to drive myself and my friends around without having to rely on others!

The best part of passing my test was getting to phone my mum who had no idea I had even booked a test, to tell her that I had passed!

For someone who always has something to say she was lost for words, as she knew that I had previously struggled during lessons back at home in Dorset.

I would thoroughly recommend Dave as an instructor to anyone wishing to learn to drive.

The lessons really have improved my driving skills, and Dave's teaching methods have helped to build my confidence.!!
