Malcolm is a reliable and excellent driving instructor. He showed a lot of patient while teaching me. I started as a nervous learner and Malcolm built up my confidence through the time I was learning with him. He puts in a lot of hard work and is always there to help you in anyway. I had up and down lessons but Malcolm was always there to reassure me and encourage me to keep going. He always fitted in with my work hours and I have enjoyed my time learning with him

I would like to write to thank Malcolm for all the hard work he has put in to help me pass my driving test, he gave me all the training and confidence I needed to enable me to pass my test first time with only three minor faults, considering that English isn't my first language and believing I would never pass Malcolm was fantastic thanks.

Malcolm made driving seem easy and straight forward, and all the lessons were enjoyable. He has a lot of patience which is portrayed when teaching and the sayings he uses stick in your head so you can’t forget which make's learning and remembering easier. Overall I thought learning with Malc was fun and benefited me as he made sure I was a confident and safe driver. Would recommend to anyone!

Malcolm is a fantastic Driving Instructor! You are really getting the most out of your money when you are learning to drive with him. When I was learning to drive with Malcolm he was very patient, a great advice giver and over all a fantastic teacher! He is very easy to talk to and I had a brilliant time with him on my lessons. I never thought that I would pass 1st time with only 2 minor faults. Malcolm makes learning to drive easy and fun. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Many thanks Malc.

Having had lessons with a number of instructors I feel that I have the experience to recognise an excellent driving instructor when I meet one and excellent is how I’d describe Malc. He is highly professional and a very skilled teacher. He has a calm and kind demeanour and can make even the most nervous pupil feel at ease. Malc is very patient and never once showed annoyance or frustration, he’s genuine and so encouraging. I’d recommend Malc to anyone without hesitation.
Thanks Malc, I’ll be eternally grateful

Malcolm was a brilliant driving instructor, who had a lot of patience. I never thought I would pass first time but Malcolm was always positive. I couldn't have done it without you Malcolm. Thank you.

Emma Hopkins

I chose Malc after hearing brilliant things from friends. I felt comfortable learning with Malc. He knew exactly how to teach in a friendly, relaxed and understandable way. I was so nervous to begin with but he was always very patient and gave me loads of confidence and encouragement. I now feel confident behind the wheel and enjoy driving. If you want a reliable, dedicated and skilled instructor I highly recommend Malc.

Tanya Money

Malcolm is an excellent driving instructor as he has incredible patience, he welcomes and encourages you to ask as many questions as you need to and he lets you learn from your own mistakes instead of just telling you that you are doing something wrong! He used simple and easy techniques that helped me to develop my driving skills. Anything we attempted was explained clearly and concisely, and he was always happy to re-explain something if I had forgotten some of it by the next lesson. After each lesson I came away having learnt something new and feeling that I had made progress each time, this is down to Malcolm’s teaching skills and his structured lessons. All of my lessons were enjoyable because of Malcolm’s down to earth nature. Malcolm is very professional and a highly skilled instructor but he is also an extremely friendly, relaxed and genuinely a nice person to drive with, and be taught by. This is why I would highly recommend him to all.

Dominic Hill
Passed 1st Time

Malcolm was recommended to me by my older brother who passed first time! Malcolm teaches you how to drive and not just pass your test which is really important; I feel this has helped me to be a more confident driver now that I have passed. Malcolm takes pride in his work with helpful sayings and diagrams to make sure all pupils are clued up on all aspects of driving. Even after some weather problems causing tests to be cancelled Malcolm was still positive, he has a great attitude towards work and his pupils, being so easy to talk to! I feel I could take up any concerns I had and he would answer questions in a professional way. Malcolm was not once late for a lesson. When I took my test I felt confident as everything had been covered and with Malc's encouragement I knew I was ready. I know I couldn't have passed first time with 4 minor faults without Malcolm, I highly recommend Malcolm to anyone looking for a professional driving instructor who takes pride in every aspect of his job! Thanks, Dominic.

Douglas Faulkner
Passed 1st Time

Driving in my opinion is a must have experience. Malcolm helped me every step of the way with learning to drive. Being in the passenger seat is a lot different to driving the car and thanks to Malcolm I have the confidence and skills needed to take pleasure in driving instead of dreading it. Malc was very clear at putting points across, using small easy to remember saying to help with the general driving which I will defiantly remember and continue to use. Malc pushed me to gain as much knowledge as possible enabling me to pass my test first time with only four faults. Malcolm is very understanding and makes sure you understand each piece of information before moving onto the next point; he is very patient and a very cheerful instructor. I couldn’t have done so well and have the confidence I do without Malcolm. Thank you so much for teaching me it has been a pleasure to be taught by you.

Kirstin Cullen
Passed 1st Time

Malcolm is the best instructor I’ve had. For anyone wanting to learn I recommend him. He never once got stressy with me. He was my third instructor and I finally passed first time
He helped me so much with his little sayings. I thought I would never pass.
Thanks Malcolm.

Sarah Fraser

Malcolm is brilliant :) He taught me to drive safely but with confidence. The little sayings he uses stick in my head which makes everything easy to remember. Malcolm is very patient and professional and never doubted my ability to pass. With all his encouragement and positive attitude I felt safe and at ease on the roads. Malcolm explains everything well and makes manoeuvres easy to complete.
Malcolm is VERY punctual, reliable and a great instructor I highly recommend him!! Without Malcolm’s help I don’t think I would have passed :)

Sam Oughton

Malcolm was very easy to understand and got his points across very well which helped with the first experiences of learning to drive. His teaching methods, and the way in which he gets you to remember things, are made to seem very simple and uncomplicated this helped me to take in the information and perform exactly as he had taught me and allowed me to pass my test with only 1 minor fault. His friendly nature comes across very easily and allowed me to stay calm in situations that I had not experienced previously. I came through with flying colours as it was just like any other lesson. I would recommend Malcolm to any learner driver (not only younger one’s) as I feel he has taught me in the best possible way and that has followed through as I am confident now when driving alone in my car.

Antony Barasa
Passed 1st Time

Only three days ago I passed my driving test on my 1st attempt with nobody other than Malcolm. I am still speechless so those of you who would like to get the best attention to detail from your instructor, please do not go very far but just contact Malcolm for results, he is very punctual, flexible with time and patient, you will be assured to pass.

Oliver Davis
Passed 1st Time

Having just passed my test on the 1st attempt with just two faults, I have to say it was all down to Malcolm. There were times when I really did not think I could do it, especially the theory side, but Malcolm was always there believing that I could do it. He has been a great instructor from the start. I felt completely at ease whilst doing my lessons and felt confident that I was ready to take my test when I did, and that was all thanks to Malcolm’s help. I would highly recommend him to any new driver!! Many thanks Malcolm.

Mark Hawkins
Passed 1st Time

I started driving lessons with Malcolm at the beginning of May and passed my test 1st time on the 24th of June with only 3 minor faults, what more can I say...
Malcolm has a nack of making everything sound so obvious; it just all makes plain sense. Don’t waste your money with anybody else!

Matt Oliver
Passed 1st Time

"Well what can I say?! I really could not have asked for a better instructor! Malcolm has been extremely patient and encouraging through out my lessons and took the time to make sure I was confident and safe in my driving. I passed first time with only two minor faults all thanks to his excellent teaching and tuition. So a huge thank you to you Malcolm. And to everyone else - what are you waiting for?! Malcolm is definitely the way to go to learn to drive!"

Jamie Goulding
Passed 1st Time

Having just passed my test first time with only two minor faults, I would like to recommend Malcolm to anyone and everyone! He is a very calm, patient instructor and every hour lesson with him was extremely helpful and productive. I wasn't the most confident driver in the beginning but Malc gave me confidence and definitely gave me the impression that he would do anything (within reason!) to help me not only pass my test but become a safe driver. A big thank you goes to you!

Kim Scrivener
Passed 1st Time

Malcolm is a brilliant driving instructor, he always praised me for doing things right and even when things went a little wrong he still found things for me to feel proud of, he gave me confidence in my ability to drive, and with every lesson we would normally have a few laughs too, which would settle any nerves I may have had. The feedback he would give me at the end of each lesson was great and always very constructive and helpful. I passed first time thanks to Malcolm and would recommend Malcolm to anyone who wants a friendly happy and competent driving instructor who puts you at ease from the first lesson.

Jonny Dunne
Passed 1st Time

I first started my lessons with Malcolm in October having never driven a car beforehand. As a result I was apprehensive in starting to drive for the first time, unsure as to what to expect, however Malcolm showed to be a very kind and patient instructor; this certainly helped greatly from the off. I noticed over my few months with Malcolm that he was a perfectionist and cared greatly about his work; I know he certainly tried to make sure that my driving was completely safe and free of any errors. The best thing I felt about Malcolm’s teaching was that despite the driving being challenging, he makes you feel comforted and confident in everything you do, never taking a moments thought to give you praise, even when mistakes were inevitably made. Malcolm made sure that I was error free and completely confident in every aspect of my driving before moving on to the next.
Malcolm had ensured that I was completely ready for my driving test before booking it; this allowed me to successfully pass first time! I would highly recommend Malcolm to others as I definitely got my money's worth in terms of lessons and enjoyment as well as a clear test success. Malcolm’s instructional style certainly suited me, and I know it will most definitely suit many others.
Thanks for all the driving lessons you gave me.

Jemma Goulding

I always found Malcolm to be cheerful, understanding and most importantly, Patient! When I first began my driving lessons, I was with a different instructor and I couldn’t get the hang of all this driving business. Within a month of being with Malcolm, I had already made a big improvement and felt a lot more confident in my abilities. Malcolm would always encourage me, whether I was doing things right or wrong and I never once felt like giving up. Malcolm would be thoroughly recommended!!

Jodie Scott

Malcolm is an excellent driving instructor. I feel that as I was quite nervous when I first started my lessons he gave me the confidence that I needed in order to pass my driving test with just one minor fault. Even when I may have done some things slightly wrong he would put me right and up to my test instead of telling me what I had to do he would just prompt me which also gave me the confidence that I needed.
I would definitely recommend Malcolm to anyone that wants a happy, friendly and confident driving instructor.

Kelly Norgate
Passed 1st Time

Malcolm is a top class driving instructor,
I’m not the most confident person but when I
was behind the wheel of the car he would always
put me at ease and tell me to believe in myself.
He is very patient and most definitely dependable.
he would always come up with little ways of remembering
the most difficult of things, which helped me out quite a lot
and he likes to make the lessons productive and
enjoyable both at the same time.
I would definitely recommend Malcolm if you are
thinking of taking up driving lessons, you won’t regret it.
I passed first time and that’s all down to Malcolm, thank you so much!!

Laura Hawkins

I had my first driving lesson with Malcolm on my 17th birthday. I was nervous but he soon put me at ease. The lessons were well structured and he was able to fit them at times convenient for me. Malcolm used simple sayings to help me remember everything easily. He was always patient and calm, even when I made mistakes. Thanks for helping me pass!

Shane Sockett
Passed 1st Time

Malcolm was very helpful with my driving and always had smart ideas on how to remember things, the 1 hour driving lesson was not wasted by talking he always got straight to the point and always gave clear instructions on what to do, driving with Malcolm was a very calm session he was very relaxed which made it a lot easier for me to concentrate and keep a clear head, he was a very helpful teacher and helped me pass my test first time.

Dan Carter

Malc was a really good driving instructor, always came on time and made it twice as easy for me at the end.
He was very calm and helped me out with anything I didn’t know. He was also Very reliable and really helped me pass with only one minor fault I wouldn’t have passed without him!!

Elise Jones

Malc was a very reliable teacher. He was always nice and helpful and I don’t think I could have done so well without him!
