Oliver is a great instructor, he is calm and patient. He will go through things with you until you feel confident about it. He’s very clear when explaining and gives you a sheet with the feedback from your lesson. He made me feel very confident when giving my driving test!

As a human, he is a horrible person. Abrasive, inconsiderate, and down right a bad person. Go somewhere else.

Has no patience and will completely give up after any inconvenience. Also rude and insulting.

Don’t recommend this school. My daughter had lessons with him and he shouted at her at over the slightest thing. She went to someone’s else after and he showed her stuff Oliver never mentioned.

No comment on the ability to teach driving as didn't get the chance to have a lesson but the communication, attitude and eventual outcome of our discussions was very poor.
Times were tight for lessons...
No comment on the ability to teach driving as didn't get the chance to have a lesson but the communication, attitude and eventual outcome of our discussions was very poor.
Times were tight for lessons as is with most instructors so finding time to suit us both and with myself having a 8/9-5 job, it was tough but managed to find two set dates to kickstart lessons.
I was unable to make one lesson due to being too ill to drive but rearranged for the next week whilst keeping the other lesson confirmed, so no lost business or time that still suited us both.
2 hours later, a blunt message received saying 'I've had to cancel all your lessons' with no explanation.
Asked for an explanation, told I was 'too indecisive with my timings and it would be a problem going forward'.
Very unfair and unprofessional, especially when for the second lesson, Oliver himself changed the time from 5pm to 4pm to 3pm.
Very poor to not even be given a chance, felt like I was expected to be free all hours of the day during the week.
