Matt

I spent a lot of time scouring the web for the best course to take when I first wanted to start learning to drive. After calling around to a few big names and getting the usual 'come now, get a deal' approach many of them had I came across LDC and ultimately John. I originally wanted to go straight for the crash course approach but John was fair and honest about them. He told me it would be far more productive to just do a one hour assessment lesson and see where it was best to go from there. After that hour he gave me an overview of how well I was doing and how many hours he thought I would need. John has an amazing ability to keep people calm during the first few lessons which is basically all nerves. He pushed me to what he thought I was able to handle. If I did something not quite right, he would give me precise tips on how I could improve it. I never felt pressured or disheartened from anything he taught me. As a person he is a very kind man and always cheerful. He can make you laugh and forget anything you had been beating yourself up on to do with something you messed up like stalling or being a bit heavy footed with the accelerator. The car itself was great to drive. It took me a few lessons to get used to just how light the steering was and just how quick I flew away with just a touch of the accelerator. I would recommend anyone who is starting to drive that you give John a call.

After my assessment lesson, John told me about the LDC book and DVD he had available. I didn't think it could hurt so I took one of each and I am truly glad I did as they aren't expensive. He gave me 'homework' after each lesson depending on what needed improving. The sections were all clear and precise, had a little quiz which was good and had in depth information on everything you needed to know. The DVD was great as it showed you at a good pace what you needed to do at each moment and really helped me on when I should be checking my mirrors. All in all I don't think I could have had a better teacher or more fun learning to drive then I did with John.

Thank you Matt, yes we did have some fun, but you took it seriously when needed and made very quick progress, well done on passing and enjoy your driving, but please keep it safe. All the best John.
