Maria at CCS is the best driving instructor I could ever have hoped for!
I knew the biggest barrier to my progress would be my confidence. I am easily discouraged when I make mistakes but Maria is calm and confident presence to have beside you. Every time I made a mistake, she'd simple say, "That's okay!" and she'd ask what I thought did wrong and explain how to fix it.
If ever I didn't understand, she'd figure out exactly what it was that was tripping me and help me reframe my understanding until it clicked.
One of the best things about my tuition is that Maria and I always planned the lesson together. She'd give ideas about what to tackle next and let me choose!
I always felt safe because she is very knowledgable. We'd be driving around and I would ask all sorts of questions about how the car and the roads worked and she always had an good answer that was easy for me to understand.
If you are nervous about learning to drive or have had bad experiences with another instructor, CCS is the driving school for you!
I've recommended Maria to all my family and friends!
The confidence I have gained through her driving lessons has translated into other aspects of my life as well - I feel like I can tackle anything I set my mind to now! Read Less

Would thoroughly recommend CCS driving school. My son had Chris as his instructor who he felt very comfortable with and he was very patient and understanding. He started with hourly lessons increasing to an hour and a half nearer to his test. The price of the lessons we thought were very reasonable compared to some others. We had great communication with Chris and he never let us down. After having a test cancelled due to Covid restrictions he did his best to fit my son in with a lesson on his day off before his rebooked test and he passed first time. Couldn’t fault them in any way and would recommend to friends Read Less

I had the pleasure of being instructed by Chris. And I absolutely enjoyed my time learning with him. I’d previously had lessons with other instructors and I can say, without a doubt, that I learnt the most from Chris. He is the first driving instructor I have had who has allowed me to self-reflect at the end of my sessions. As well as keep paperwork, which serves as an amazing tool to actually see how far the student has progressed. Chris has also listened to my feedback and has asked me what I would like to work on next.
Chris is also happy to talk about all things weird and wonderful which really put me at ease with driving. Read Less

Absolutely superb. I approached Chris for some refresher lessons, as I hadn't driven since passing my test nearly 4 years ago. I was very nervous, and needed help with specific aspects of driving (roundabouts, bay parking and motorways, in particular). Before my first lesson, Chris took the time to call me and ask what I would like to focus on. He helped me build up confidence on the roads and, before I knew it, I felt really in control and able to tackle any situation. Chris went above and beyond to help me overcome particular challenges and concerns, and I would highly recommend CCS Driving School to anyone who is looking for help with driving. Thanks Chris!!
