I found James when my current instructor wasn't available, and he immediately stepped up to take me out at short notice. I always found his teaching style very helpful and informative, but also very peaceful and low pressure, which really helped my nerves in a new car so close to my test.
After one fail (because I couldn't get my nerves under control!) and one cancelled test, I've finally passed after years of on off tuition and rearranged COVID tests. James makes the process very easy and I hugely appreciate the time he spent with me. Thank you!

I recently passed my manual driving test after just 2 lessons with James, and I couldn’t be happier! I had failed two tests before, but James’s patient and clear teaching style made all the difference. He focused on the little details that I had been missing and explained everything so clearly, which really helped me feel confident on the day. I’m so grateful to have found such a great instructor, thank you so much, James!

I dedicate this first time pass to him because he really boosted my confidence and taught me a lot that made the driving test easy for me..

James is an excellent teacher
Highly recommend contacted him for a test with 3 weeks notice and at a time when I had a lot of other things on my mind not just driving he got me to a place where my mind was relaxed and that showed on the driving test where I felt relaxed and passed comfortably
