I can’t recommend freeway driving school enough! Thanks to Andys patience, encouragement, and support, I passed my driving test. I started lessons with a lot of anxiety and fear about driving, but he always made me feel calm, comfortable, and confident behind the wheel.
He never rushed me, explained everything clearly, and believed in me even when I doubted myself. Every lesson was supportive and tailored to help me build my confidence at my own pace.
If you’re a nervous driver or struggling with driving anxiety, I honestly couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you for helping me overcome my fears and achieve something I never thought I’d be able to do. Passing my test wouldn’t have been possible without your guidance and encouragement!

Hi all, I cant recommend andy enough when I came to him 2yrs ago I had been with another instructor of an automatic he told me id never drive due to my ptsd n pannik attacks. Then I found andy he is warm kind n friendly and helped me combat my nerves and anxiety he also helped me control my dyslexia too. He is great with disabled n special needs. He will tell you when your ready n when your not n is fantastic at creating a safe environment within the vehicle and a great listener. So much so that I have just passed my test first time round. So thanks andy n dont forget my cake. Highly recommend him xx

100% recommend Andy! I failed my text July last year due to my past instructor not being confident in me, started doing lessons with Andy December last year and passed with him march 2026! He’s really helped me build my confidence with driving and kept on reminding me that I do know what I’m doing! He’s so lovely and down to earth, couldn’t recommend him enough!

He has such a calming approach and really cares about his customers so much so i’ve just passed my driving test first time with him after previously failing.

Thank you to Andy for getting me my 1st time pass! I really enjoyed our lessons and for each one Andy made me feel at ease and confident. I was really nervous on the test day and Andy ensured we went over everything, and reassured me I'd be ok, which I was! Thank you again Andy, I'd recommend to anyone.

Andy is a fantastic driving instructor. He's the third instructor I've had and he was the best by miles. He helped me gain confidence as a driver, was excellent at identifying what I needed to work on and explaining everything clearly. He helped me pass my test and I'll always be grateful for his great teaching.

After not driving for 22 years, Andy was the perfect driving instructor for me. I ended up passing with only one minor fault!!! This was all done to Andy, as he was very calm, friendly, professional and very motivating. I would recommend Andy to not just learner drivers, but to people like me who haven't been driving for a while and anyone really who needs an instructor. Cheers for all your help Andy, I couldn't have done it without you, keep it up!
