Learning to drive at 29 was a big step for me, I was nervous about it, didn't really have access to private practice, plus a big COVID lockdown in the middle. Colin is a really good instructor, very critical in a constructive way so he will guaranteed have you driving to a high standard before the test, but will also make sure you're feeling calm and confident when you first get out on the road. Went from 0 driving experience to passing first time with two minors. Can't recommend highly enough.

Would highly recommend Colin! His calm and collected approach helps even the most nervous driver. He helps you recognise your weaknesses and praises you for improvements. Thanks to Colin I passed my test first time and could not be more grateful especially during COVID-19 lockdowns where it was difficult with constantly stopping/starting due to government restrictions. Great instructor and teacher.

I highly recommend Colin's Driving School, for every age and experience base.
When I started training with Colin I wasn't sure I would ever feel like a competent, safe or confident driver, this changed very quickly and thanks to Colin I passed my practical first time.
Colin is a highly experienced and effective instructor and a very genuine individual and I couldn't recommend Colin's Driving School more.

Colin is an amazing driving instructor. He brings a relaxed atmosphere to the learning process and is very supportive. I wouldn’t have been able to get over exam anxiety if it wasn’t for his encouragement and confidence-building attitude. Highly recommend.

Great instructor. Colin knows how to explain things so you don't just know that you have to do something, but why you have to do it. Making it far easier to do and understand. He has a really good teaching style. Luckily with his work I was able to pass first time with just three minors which the examiner said were hardly worth marking :). Overall I would highly reccomend Colin

Colin helped me overcome my nerves, and I passed my test first time thanks to him. He is a calm presence in the car and it would have taken much more time for me to learn with any other instructor. Highly recommended.

Patient, knows the ins and outs of everything you will ever need to know about cars or driving and will strive to get you through your theory and practical whether you like putting in the homework or not! Passed both tests first time round for which I give Colin 99% of the credit, shame he's only based in Wales or I'd send him to teach my younger sister in London. Had a lot of fun learning to drive, if all instructors worked to Colin's standard the roads of Britain would frankly be a safer place!

Couldn't recommend more highly; Colin is incredibly patient, thorough, and easy to get along with, all making him a brilliant instructor. I went from nervous and never having sat in a driver's seat to being test ready very quickly and am now a safe, confident driver. Also Colin uses a great car for learning in, is very flexible and understand with regards to lesson bookings, and has a great wealth of driving knowledge.
