 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stuart is a brilliant instructor, helping me to pass first time with few minors and a confidence for driving. Each lesson was structured to learn at my own pace and thorough to cover anything I was unsure about. He was really kind and patient with any questions or mistakes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor in Southend-on-Sea!
