" I started learning how to drive under time pressure as I was going away travelling at the end of September 2013 for eleven months. With Mike teaching me I went from no driving experience at all to passing first time with three minors in a couple of months. 
During the time I was working in London and Mike was flexible for us to have our lessons early in the morning or later in the evenings. The lessons were well structured and we methodically covered all learning areas, with Mike going through topics comprehensively and clearly. Mike has the patience of a saint, being firm if I made a mistake (which I made a lot of!) but never getting angry or raising his voice, which kept the learning environment pleasant at all times. 
All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better instructor, thanks Mike."
Thanks again Mike!
Chris

"Mike is a very calm and patient instructor, more importantly he loves his job and feels very passionate about teaching someone to drive. His tips for driving is not only good enough to pass the driving tests but it is something which can stay with you for life which would help make you a confident and safe driver. I would highly recommend mike to everyone especially those who feel nervous about driving as he is someone who would make learning to drive very enjoyable."
Pallav

"Mike is an outstanding driving instructor. He is cool, calm and collected in all situations which reassures you as a learner. Mike not only prepares you well for your test but teaches you how to be a good, safe and economical driver which helps in the future when driving independently. I cannot recommend Mike enough and am grateful for his teaching in helping me to pass 1st time!'
I hope this is alright.
Best regards,"
Alex

"Mike is a fantastic instructor- from the get go he made me feel really comfortable and at ease with the car. He doesn't waste time either and so we were driving to Cambridge really soon so I could get a first hand look at what I'd be up against on my test route. He is very patient and honestly I don't remember a single time he lost his temper! Cool headed and clearly very good at his job, he made it so I passed first time. Can't thank him enough for the freedom he has given me, I would recommend him to anyone in the future!"
Joe

"I would greatly encourage anyone to learn to drive with Mike. He has more than all the right qualities a driving instructor should have. most noticeably, his patience, friendly nature and logical way of teaching! I am extremely happy to look back at my learning to drive process as enjoyable thanks to Mike."
Sam

“Words cannot describe how much of great instructor Mike is! The tuition he gave me was outstanding, professional and great value for money. I was a very nervous driver to begin with but Mike made me feel so much at ease and greatly improved my confidence. Thanks to this, I passed my test first time. I have already and will continue to recommend him as a MUST have instructor!! Thank you so much Mike, this has changed my life completely.”
Michaela

"Mike’s a great teacher, helping you learn at your own pace. He teaches you in a way that suits you, teaching you how to drive rather than just to pass your test. He is very patient and offers great rates. I always felt comfortable learning from him and would recommend him to you."
Akin

"Learning to drive at first can be a scary thought, but learning with Mike made it all less scary. Mike is such a relaxed instructor with lots and lots and lots of patience! Lessons were always enjoyable and Mike is so easy to get along with and to chat to while driving too.

Not only did I learn how to drive but I understood what I was doing and why while driving, making sure that my understanding was always there. If things were taking a while to set in Mike would draw a diagram or we would switch driving sides and would be shown what I was doing wrong and how its should be done which made things a lot clearer and easier to learn.

When coming up to my test even though I was a bag of nerves!, I felt confident in what I knew and that I could do it. And I passed with only 1 MINOR!!! I would recommend Mike to anyone thinking/wanting to learn to drive, he is now teaching my brother. I feel like when I get my car I will be a safe and confident driver from the skills I have learnt. Thank you for being extremely patient with me!"
Carla

“Well where do i start? Mike is an extremely good driving instructor. I previously went with another driving school but never felt comfortable driving. When I started learning with Mike he showed me a completely different way of driving compared to what I had been taught. He showed me how I was driving, and how I should be driving. Once I started to drive how I should have been I felt more relaxed and I had the confidence to go and improve my driving skills.

He was also willing to start my lessons at stupid times in the morning or even finish late at night so it fitted in with my job. Mike helped me pass first time with only 1 minor.  I would recommend him to everyone that wanted to learn, and then I would say he is a 5 star instructor  ”
Gavin

"Having spread learning to drive across three periods with three different instructors, I can confidently say Michael’s tuition was on a different level to that offered by other driving schools. His ability to relate to problems from a pupil’s perspective and adapt his teaching to their learning style were particularly impressive. Great value for such good quality tuition, and a thoroughly decent bloke too – highly recommended!"
Adam.

"Mike is a fantastic instructor; everything you’d expect and ask for from a driving instructor. He is perfect if, like I was, you are a nervous learner or a first time driver. He’s very patient and down-to-earth, which is great for calming nerves. He uses unique methods that you won’t be taught by anyone else, and which make sure your driving is perfect and spot on when it’s time for your test. His rates are incredibly reasonable, especially for students. Mike is a great driving instructor that I’d fully recommend. He doesn't just teach you to drive, he teaches you to be a great driver. Thank you so much for helping me to pass first time with NO MINORS!"
Jenna.

"My Driving instructor is a really nice guy, he is calm, experienced and he knows many techniques to help you drive safely to pass your test. I would highly recommend Mike to all people learning to drive! He is flexible and helped me become a confident driver. After failing my first test due to nerves, he was there ready to help me pass my next test, which I passed with 1 minor. As Mike is a young instructor, it makes it much easier to relate to him as he was in my position not so long ago. He is a brilliant driver and I thank him for passing his knowledge of driving down to me."
Ollie.

"Mike is the best driving instructor I have had the privilege in having. He is calm and patient who has many techniques to teach; because of his young age he is easy to relate to and makes the lessons less unnerving and more enjoyable to learn the skill of driving. He will teach you what you need to know to pass your driving test as well as the skills you will need to know once you have passed and have become a fully qualified driver. I highly recommend Mike for a driving instructor as he is very good; thanks to him I passed my driving test with no minors. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
Jack.

"I highly recommend this Driving Instructor!
My instructor was excellent, very calm and approachable. He made sure that not only was I able to drive well, but that I understood what I was doing and why, making me a better driver for the future. Lessons were excellent value for money, and very flexible in terms of time and day. And I passed first time!
Definitely the right choice – highly recommended!"
Eleanor.

"I’m really pleased that I decided to choose Mike as my driving instructor, as I believe he’s enabled me to be a safe and confident driver. Although Mike is very professional, he also makes learning to drive feel comfortable and not daunting, as he’s never TOO serious! Thanks to Mikes great teaching techniques and patience, I managed to pass my driving test with just one minor. On my first lesson I had no experience of driving at all and now I feel as though I can go out in the car by myself and I would be able to confidently deal with any challenging situation which may arise. I would strongly recommend Mike to anyone who wants to learn to drive with somebody who will help them to progress with their driving at a sensible pace, whilst ensuring they are aware of all the rules of the road and comfortable in all different conditions."
Ellie.

"Mike is a great instructor who explains things clearly and thoroughly, but without wasting time going through old material. He is friendly, approachable and patient and so inspires you to be a confident driver, and helps you to not be stressed out by small (or big) mistakes. By wanting to make sure that all aspects of your driving are spot on (rather than just good enough) Mike pushes you to be the best driver you can be, and therefore I’d highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thank you!"
Ed.

"‘I would highly recommend Mike as a driving instructor. I was a very nervous learner but Mike’s positive attitude and patience helped me to gain confidence and I passed first time! I found that he taught me a better understanding of how to drive than a previous instructor I’d had. Lesson prices were very reasonable and Mike is flexible with lesson times and also sends you a text to remind you about your lesson the day before. I also found his website very helpful.’
Thanks again for your help and patience!!"
Lucy.

"Mike is a great instructor, as he is very patient and gives out very clear instructions, guidance and techniques, for example all the reference points during maneuvers. Thanks to all the effort, co-operation and flexibility Mike put in whilst teaching me to become a good driver, I passed first time!"
Jenny.

"I thoroughly enjoyed learning with Mike as I received great teaching, which enabled me to understand more quickly. The techniques he uses in the maneuvers are very helpful and allowed me to pick up the skills I needed quickly. Thank you for all the patience and guidance I received, which helped me pass my test, with only 2 minor faults! I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone wanting to learn to drive!"
Hannah.

"I've had 3 driving instructors now and Mike was the best by a long shot, he has made me into a much more confident and more importantly a safer driver on the road, he has been extremely patient and calm which goes a long way when being a nervous beginner driver. I have now past my test thanks to Mike and his encouragement and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks."
Emma.

Michael is a very good driving instructor and he is flexible for you to learn at your own pace hes been teaching me for about 5 months and i passed my test first time and would recommend him to anyone.
Luke.

"I have used different driving instructors in the past and not had much luck due to their high prices and lack of patience. But after a few lessons with Mike my driving improved a lot. And also my understanding of driving as well. His fair prices and relaxed way of teaching makes him a definite recommendation."
James.

"I feel very lucky to have had Mike as my driving instructor. He teaches in a very thorough way which I found made driving both interesting and enjoyable! Lessons were tailored to my own personal needs as a learner and Mike’s calm, positive attitude to driving meant I rarely found myself getting stressed or frustrated whilst in the driver’s seat. His style of teaching prepares you not just for the test, but also for the rest of your driving life; striking the perfect balance between rules of the road and common sense."
Ella.

"Mike is a great driving instructor, I would thoroughly recommend him. the week before my test the nerves kicked in but mike kept me calm and just kept going over things. I passed first time and thanks to his help i can not just drive, I can drive well!"
Vikki.

"Mike was a very excellent driving instructor and he help me pass my driving test because the techniques he used when I was doing my driving lesson e.g. he tells me to check the mirrors every 3 seconds which helped me a lot during my driving test because I got use to checking my mirrors every 3 seconds. He tells me what I am doing wrong and he uses images to show me what I've done wrong which help me to visualize the things I need to improve on. When I do things wrong, he doesn't tell me off straight away, he waits until we stop and shows me how I can improve the things I've done wrong."
Musa.

"I already have a driving license from other country but I wanted to obtain a British one it was international. Mike was recommended to me by a friend. I really enjoyed his classes. He helped me to overcome bad habits and gain good ones. I only needed seven hours training to pass the, first time. All in all, he is a good instructor and I would recommend him to a friend."
Khaled.

"Thanks for helping me pass mike. Top notch instructor!"
Dale.

"Mike is an excellent driving instructor and I highly recommend him. He is patient and explains everything in a very logical way which allows you to understand what you’re doing and makes you a better and safer driver. He encourages you and improves your confidence levels, which makes passing the exam much easier."
Tina.

"I have really enjoyed learning to drive with Mike and his teaching is both resourceful and enjoyable. He is flexible with lesson arrangements and times he explains things very well and if you don’t understand he will help until you do. If you get stuck he gives you help on how to correct it rather than correcting it for you so that you have to think for yourself. He is very friendly and is suitable for people with and level of confidence. I would highly recommend him."
Kimmy.

"If Mike can teach a nightmare of a driving student like me, he can teach anyone to drive "
Natalia.

I would recommend Mike as an driving instructor, as he has all the good qualities required in a instructor! He is very patient, calm and a friendly person. He also has a good way of teaching all the skills and techniques making it easy to understand! Thanks again for helping me pass!!
Rahena.
