Stuart is one of the best driving instructors i’ve had, he is amazing for people who have had experience in driving and who haven’t. He talks calmly the whole time no matter how many lessons you need, he’s very understanding and helped me to pass my test

Patience Is A Virtue
Stuart came recommended to me, he is so calm/patient and very reliable. My son Harrison past today with flying colours, I don’t normally do reviews but I can’t recommend Stuart enough and I will be using him again once my other son turns 17.
