10 lessons booked, TWO delivered. Always ‘ill,’ always ‘double-booked,’ never available when you need him. I’d be ready, nervous for my lesson… and he just wouldn’t show. When he did, he was late and left early, like my time doesn’t matter. Half the lesson he’s on his phone – what’s he doing, Googling ‘how to be a bad instructor’? Asked for a refund, he refused because he was at dinner (with my money). Took weeks of nagging to get paid back. Honestly, this guy is the worst of the worst – a scam with a steering wheel. Don’t just avoid him – block his number. Read Less

Instructor faked an illness to go on holiday then bragged about it after he came back, forgetting that he had told me he was ill. Made me rebook my test for a different date for when I took it due to someone else having it, he said he was free on that day. Never taught me hill starts resulting in a failure of my test. Shouted at me multiple times as well. Read Less

I began my driving lessons with this teacher in January, expecting a consistent and structured learning schedule. Unfortunately, my lessons were frequently postponed and rescheduled, resulting in significant gaps that made it difficult to progress. Due to these disruptions, my theory test expired, forcing me to start over. Despite reaching out for a resolution, the situation remained unchanged as it is hard to get in contact with this teacher. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend that anyone takes up lessons with this teacher. Very disappointed. Read Less

I’d give zero if I could for this man! He takes people’s money and messes up as already stated. He was to take my son and he really kept cancelling, not returning his calls and eventually made him lose his theory after a whole six months of rubbish! Waste of space. I also see he has given himself a review. Google should have seen that. Dave Bone, why give yourself a review to improve your rating? Just be good instead and you will get honest good reviews! Sad.

Just passed my test with Dave first time, I'm no spring chicken but Dave's excellent tuition got me through with ease, much to my own surprise.
