Tony is an incredible instructor, had a handful of lessons with him and got more confident with each one. His advice and instructions were given in a fun way that was clear and easily understandable. Despite my nerves going into it, he was patient and very supportive, calming me down with some hilarious jokes. Recently took my restricted test and passed! Thanks a bunch Tony! Read Less

We wanted our son to learn manual and Tony was very accommodating and gave him some good advice and tips, things I wouldnt have thought about after driving for so long. Very helpful and patient instructor and even comes direct to your house. Would highly recommend Tony and his service. (Son passed restricted first time in a manual 💪) Read Less

Tony has been a great teacher. He really explains things well, and takes time to explain everything clearly. He is great to have a chat with while driving. I would highly recommend the 10 lessons for beginners as he takes you through essential driving controls and working up to higher speed and busier roads. His new car is also great to drive in if you need to use Tony's car for your lessons. Read Less

Today was my final lesson with Tony and I have to say that it is quite saddening. As well as being a friendly & sweet guy, he is a great instructor! He taught me many things that I didn't think that I would be able to do and he definitely did help to boost my confidence in driving.

I just passed my restricted driving test the 7th November on the first go and it wouldn't have happened without Tony. He was always calm, patient and encouraging, even through my not so perfect driving in the first couple of lessons. I had been with a few driving instructors and wasn't making much progress until I changed to Tony. He quickly brought me up to speed with his friendly and professional instruction. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent driving instructor. Thanks again, Tony! Read Less

First off, I would like to say a big thank you to Tony for helping me throughout the process of driving- from the very basics up to getting my restricted license. I may be one of the most challenging students to teach because I was a nervous driver and I didn't think I could be a good driver at all. Tony helped me believe that I could handle driving- and do it well. He was very calm and patient with me even if I did countless mistakes during our earlier lessons. I never felt ...discouraged driving with him and it was with him that I found out how fun driving could be. His teaching style was very good- really easy, informative and organized. I would have never passed the test without his guidance. I would definitely recommend Code 1st to anyone who wishes to learn how to drive- not only is it relatively cheaper than other driving schools, you also get much more than your money's worth. After lessons with Tony, you would not have only gained driving skills and a driving license- you would also gain a good friend. See More Read Less
