Pupils' Comments
I approached Stephen with extreme nervousness, having had a bad experience with lessons before. He was always patient, structured and conscientious - leading me to pass first time! The biggest testament to Stephen's teaching skills, however, was on my first 'drive alone', when I intended to have a short trip and realised that I had been so well prepared for this that I was confident enough to drive around for over an hour.

I have no regrets leaving my previous instructor for Stephen. I always felt comfortable in my lessons and not afraid to ask stupid questions.
Siobhan Traynor, West Wickham
Stephen was much better than my previous instructor, and lessons were brilliant.
Every lesson was worth every penny, because it was fun and now I've passed -- yay!
Louise Coking, Orpington
He was always on time, with a very professional approach. Learning to drive with Stephen was a very positive experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Stephen and learned more in my first lesson than I did in my lessons with ------- (a well-known local driving school). I progressed at a steady pace and felt confident by the time my test came. I also thought it was a very good idea to have him with me during my test. I especially liked the two hour lessons.

Within seven months Stephen taught me and two of my daughters to drive (brave man!). Being a 40 something learner I was initially a little nervous but Stephen put me totally at ease from the start. He is an excellent driving instructor who kept me motivated throughout and gave me the confidence to pass my test first time. I found the instructional DVDs and book very helpful as was the Pass Plus course.

Stephen made learning to drive both fun and efficient. Every lesson was one to look forward to, with clear structure and excellent tuition. After passing my test I did Pass Plus and saved well over £400 on insurance.

Very good teaching!
I was able to learn new things easily and quickly.
I was extremely pleased to pass first time as well!

Learning to drive with Stephen has been fantastic. The communication and professionalism were exceptional, meaning that I could take care of driving and knowing that everything else had been taken care of. He was always willing to answer my questions regardless of how many I fired at him. He left no weakness unattended.

Stephen made me feel confident, and picked up on my weaknesses quickly.
