A top guy that deserves every commendation - it's truly been great journey since we started in April!
I'll see you on the road Josh!

Huge thanks to Rich Tiller who was the best instructor I could've asked for! I enjoyed our lessons so much and I think that played a huge part in me passing my test first time. He takes a calm, patient, and kind approach to teaching while simultaneously making it fun, which I really valued as someone who used to be pretty anxious on the roads (not anymore!). His approach to coaching and feedback was super helpful, giving me a chance to problem solve and helping me to understand the principles of handling the car on the road and manoeuvres safely and confidently in all kinds of situations. I felt he genuinely cared about me improving and being ready for independent driving. I'd highly recommend Rich (and Calm Driving) and can't thank him enough for all his advice and support.

Thank you CALM driving! My instructor Neil was honestly the best. He's patient, friendly, and really easy to chat with, which made a huge difference in how comfortable I felt behind the wheel. He didn't just teach me the basics to pass a test, he went above and beyond to make sure I actually understood what I was doing and why. I managed to pass first time with 0 faults so I feel confident driving now, not just for the test. Down-to-earth guy, encouraging, and clearly cares about doing right by his students. Thank you Neil! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Tom Tiller at CALM Driving School as a driving instructor. From the very first lesson, he was friendly, approachable, and professional. He made learning to drive enjoyable and helped me feel at ease, even when tackling new challenges. His teaching methods were clear and effective, and he was always patient and encouraging. Thanks to his support and expertise, I was able to learn to drive confidently in under a year. A fantastic instructor who genuinely wants his pupils to succeed. Thank you, Tom!
