I left getting my driving license to later in life because I was never really interested in learning, but having to get to work with a little girl, I had to learn out of necessity. Because I wasn't looking forward to it, I wanted to get it over and done with as soon as possible and originally wanted to apply for the one week pass course. However, when I met Nick he discouraged me from doing so and suggested the semi-intensive course instead and stretching that over the time it would take me to get a test date. I am so glad I listened to him! I actually struggled with 3hr lessons, so the intensive course would have been a nightmare for me.

When I started I didn't have much confidence as I had no driving experience at all, but Nick was very supportive and very encouraging which didn't make me dread my lessons as much as I thought I would. He even got to rewarding me with pear drops for achieving manouvres or finally overcoming something I had been struggling with for a while and I don't think I'll ever be able to eat a pear drop again without thinking of those days :)

No matter how frustrated I got with myself he never gave up on me or made me feel like he didn't believe I could do it, not even after I failed the test 3 times (due to nerves and difficult examiners)! Finally I passed the 4th time round and I think Nick was happier than I was. He is not just an instructor, he takes all his students to heart and genuinely cares whether they pass or fail. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Nick!
