 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave is an amazing instructor, never makes a drive stressful no matter what you’re doing. He’s friendly and just all round a brilliant person to do your lessons with! I’ve had a great and easy going time learning with Dave even as someone who first found it quite nerve wracking. Would without a doubt pick him everytime.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have recently passed my driving test in Watford  with Dave, passed first time and NO MINORS at all and I couldn’t be happier he’s such a good driving instructor, he is patient, easygoing and kind which is what you need when you are learning to drive no stress and someone that’s listens he answers all your questions, he’s very knowledgeable. Lessons start and finish on time to get the best out of the lesson I am very happy to have found him as my instructor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave is the best instructor! I was a very nervous driver when I first started driving however with Dave after the first lesson I felt so much more confident. Dave is very patient and relaxed which made learning to drive feel much easy than I thought it would! I feel I learnt so much so quickly with Dave, and he made me feel very prepared for my test when the time came. I passed 1st time! Would definitely recommend!

My daughter is ADHD diagnosed and had struggled with a manual and previous instructor. We moved to Dave as automatic and the change was immediate. Dave’s teaching style is calm and supportive and my daughter’s confidence grew quickly. She really enjoyed her lessons and loving the independence of driving now she’s passed her test. I was also very impressed that, with long waits for tests, Dave was insistent on not doing lessons for the sake of filling the gap, but making himself instantly available as the time got closer and flexible on test days.

The best instructor!
