I passed my driving test first time today thanks to Lee, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He is incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, and always believed in me even when... See more

The best!

Brilliant driving instructor. Always calm and full of knowledge which he is more than happy to pass on; these attributes are vital for growing confidence as a learner with an instructor. Helped me and several of my friends get first time passes, couldn't have done it without him!

Thank you Lee

Recently passed my test in Bury St Edmunds first time with 3 minors all thanks to Lee. He was amazing throughout, always making sure the lessons suit you and that you’re comfortable. Always able to have a laugh with him which made the experience that much better. He is hands down one of the best drivers i’ve ever met, never shouts and is always calm. His pass rates back him up as an instructor, would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic Driving School

Came to Lee at the end of last year and from the first lesson he provided a great learning methods, breaking down and simplifying things to a point where it is easy to understand, even as a learner. After months of building up my driving skills I passed my practical exam with only 2 minors. Overall it was a very good experience

Couldn't ask for anyone better

Probably the best driving instructor in Bury St Edmunds. Not only is Lee a great teacher who cares for his students but is also a great person who is kind. Wouldn't choose any other instructor if I was given the chance.

Top driving instructor.

Changed instructors to Lee after my previous instructor slowed me right down. Got me test ready within a month, simplifying driving to make everything easier. Passed first time with two minors. Couldn’t recommend him anymore as a driving instructor.

Best experience I could have asked for

I came to Lee in January of this year with limited to no experience about driving and how to operate a car, and I just passed my test first time in a place where the pass rate is below 30%, if that doesn't tell you enough about how good Lee is I don't know what does, he is by far the best driving instructor I could have hoped for, he was more like a friend than a driving instructor, he was patient when I would make mistakes and would coach me on how to avoid them which I really appreciated, he is vastly knowledgeable about driving and would always give me tricks on how to make certain things easier. I am eternally grateful to Lee and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive no matter their current ability. Thank you so much Lee.
