When I first took lessons it was 8 years ago and the experience i had was so awful it put me off. I had no confidence with driving and assumed all instructiors would be the same. I decided with my 4th child on the way it was time to bite the bullet! Kevin was...
Katie Groundsell, Shorwell
Kevin was always very patient and calm when teaching me how to do things and the best way in which to do them, if the way he tried to explain it didn't work he would change it into a way I found easier to understand. Kevin was always on time and was very friendly but...

I Found Kevin to be very helpful throughout my time learning with him. I liked the way he tries to understand you and how you work so he can adapt and ensure that you gain the most out of your lessons with him. My previous instructors were to the point and never...
Katie Curliss, Carisbrooke
I thought Kevin's teaching methods were very good. He tailored his teaching to how I learnt things, which he picked up in just a couple of lessons. Once that happened I was learning a lot quicker and built up my confidence too. I would recommend Kevin as he is a very...

In comparison to previous methods I have used for learning how to drive, the intensive course doesn't compare, previously instructors I have used have been a lot slower to teach due to the nature of the course. With the Intensive course from Kevin things are...
