As someone who had put off driving lessons for a year or two out of apprehension, and quite frankly due to the sought-after nature of the few in Boston, I'm glad I got Pete under recommendation. Pete is a very direct speaker and takes you through the course by the book, but with his added banter and wit. That's not to say he'll rush you through if you're not ready, but he will do his diligence to explain and take you through at the learner's own pace. Having ADD, I did have the hallmark of drifting focus, occasionally doing my own thing. But in practice, after not making progress or a few bungled attempts at, say, reverse parking, the logic and ease of Pete's explanation won me over. A key problem that reared its head with me a lot was rushing, which would inevitably lead to poor practices, such as slowing down too abruptly at turns, junctions, and stopping unnecessarily at roundabouts. This inevitably led to less time for observation and signals. Pete helped me slow it down and remember that a smoother approach will breed calm and safe driving practices.
