Mark from Better Driver was honestly the best instructor I could have ever had. He was calm and provided me with the tools I needed to become the independent driver I am now. I could not possibly recommend him enough to anyone using this service.

Dani from Better Driver

Dani from Better Driver was great for our daughter, who has autism and struggles significantly with social interactions. Dani put her at ease from the get go and is a very calm and patient instructor. She gave our daughter lots of positive encouragement which boosted her confidence and she has now passed her driving test, which is great. We can't recommend Dani highly enough.

A great experience with Better Driver Training

I heard about Better Driver Training through a friend of mine, and I happened to get the same instructor that he did. Mark was amazing at starting from scratch with the lessons and never seemed bored when we were driving slow and stalling all around the back roads. But as my confidence rose Mark also pushed me to take on more and do more driving. I failed my first test, and after a while I rescheduled some more lessons with Mark, to pick up where we left off and I have just passed on the second attempt, thank you Mark and thank you Better Driver Training

Peter was a great instructor

Peter was a great instructor! He could clearly identify what I personally needed to work on and we managed to cover lots of ground in all of our lessons. He teaches in a way that makes driving safely a natural instinct rather than just learning what would be “right” or “wrong”. Truly grateful for his help to pass first time.

The Best Instructor

I never thought I’d ever see the day I passed my test after having multiple instructors and so little confidence, but then I switched to Dani and my confidence sky rocketed. She was calm, patient and understanding, she’s easy to talk to and the way she teaches is so simple to understand. I passed today first time with 0 faults and it’s thanks to Dani, I’d highly recommend for anyone learning automatic.

Brilliant

My instructor, Mark, was so helpful. I only had 3 lessons with him, and passed on my first try with only a few minors. His method of instructing is great and made me confident going into the test.

Passed first time

Thanks to Rob, I passed first time with only 1 fault. He is a patient and calm instructor who is a natural when it comes to teaching and explaining. I would recommend him and better driver training to anyone and everyone. I have dyspraxia and struggle with coordination which is why I chose better driver training. I have achieved what for a long time, I never thought I could.

Best.Instructor.Ever.

I didn’t know if I would ever drive again after my previous experiences I’ve had with driving, but Peter was so patient with me and understanding. His positive attitude made me feel so much more confident with my driving and made me feel like I really could do it and that I was actually good at it! Thanks to Peter I passed on my first attempt. I’m truly grateful for everything he and Better Driver Training have done for me.

Great driving instructor for anxious learners

Peter has been a great driving instructor for our nervous daughter. He is patient, supportive and full of enthusiam. Our daughter had tried another instructor previously and had been put off by her experience but Peter gave her the confidence she needed and she passed her test at the first attempt. Thank you Peter!

I had Peter as a driving instructor and although he is the only instructor I have ever had, he’s still the best instructor. He was extremely helpful, patient and encouraging throughout my driving experience. Thank you so much Better driving training and thank you once again Peter for all your help and guidance.
