Most awful, rude instructor. AVOID at all cost. He blackmails you in various ways. Late for lessons, drops you off early. He waste time by making you park up and chat. He just wants your money so he does not teach you proply. He knocks your confidence by shouting and telling you that you are no good. He's a nasty, horrible man. Don't trust his Facebook page as obviously limited people would have passed over his 30 years teaching but it won't show the majority that have failed. Read Less

Instructor review The wife praised me all the time and was always saying how good i was Unfortunately it is my decision when they are ready to take test as i have not only got to think of the publics safety,safety of the examiners,other drivers,and my reputation BUT also the safety of the pupil.The test was booked and when told she was not ready and to the standard the husband MR VU did not want to accept my decision.23 years plus of teaching so in reality his opinion is respected as his view.However modern day Video CCTV fitted in vehicles backs up my point.

Don’t waste your time with this incompetence, wherever intentional or not, driving instructor. This instructor has knowledge of test routes, at least for the Hornchurch Test Centre, however has not learned the basic aspects of teaching like: • Don’t shout at students as it doesn’t help especially in supposedly dangerous situations, it is better to help control the car, if needed, and find a safe stopping place. • Have at least some structure to the lessons and a plan that focuses on weak areas as it is how you track and make progress. As a result of the second point, it is not surprising of the inability to estimate the time required to prepare a student for a driving test. Lessons become unproductive the more you take them. When you have no driving experience and no point of reference, it will take much longer to spot an incompetence instructor as my wife did. I made the mistake of not paying close attention to what she was learning in her lessons. After we switched to another instructor, none of the above problems occurred as one would expect from a more competence instructor. We are glad our neighbour, who has a foreign driving license, had also decided to switch instructor as they observed and tolerated the same signs of incompetence for more than long enough. I would suggest taking your driving lessons with an instructor recommended by someone you know and trust. Otherwise pick a driving school without well-reasoned negative reviews. Read Less
