After having several different instructors and never gaining confidence or understanding of some of the basics of driving, I'm so happy I decided to go with Nathan. Nathan is one heck of a good instructor.
I had 4x six hour lessons and 1x 4 hour lesson with him before getting that magical bit of blue paper. Nathan's approach is simple, prepare you for the real world of driving, not just the test. He took me from being incredibly nervous on day one to being a totally independent driver with no anxiety by mid way through day 4.
Nathan is incredibly laid back, doesn't shout when things go wrong, just calmly explains what went wrong and how to make the micro adjustments on what to better to ace it. If you're a nervous driver and want an incredible experience, use Coopers, you won't be disappointed. Was definitely worth every penny! Read Less

I started my intensive driving course with no real interest in driving and feeling rather anxious however by the end of the week, Nathan, made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and I really started to enjoy driving. I was challenged but never put into any uncomfortable situations that he didn’t think I could handle and always reassured me when he could tell I lacked confidence. His explanations and teachings were clear and made the process simple but affective to follow. After passing my test on my first attempt, I couldn’t recommend Nathan or Coopers driving school any more. Huge thanks ! Read Less

Nathan is a brilliant teacher! He made me feel really calm and relaxed throughout my lessons and it all paid off! After having a different instructor and failing multiple test and then not driving for 3 year, I was very nervous and Nathan was amazing with this! He made driving enjoyable and simple and after his intensive course I passed first time! 10/10 would recommend to everyone! Read Less

I had a blast with Nathan (and Katie)! Every lesson was fun and i thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive (and passing my practical test woohoo!) with them. I get really bad anxiety and Nathan was so supportive to me. He is a patient, kind and caring instructor and also has a great sense of humour! He has a very clear, calm and warm way of explaining everything and I felt my anxiety about driving dramatically mellow out and I developed confidence because of Nathan's reassuring presence, instruction and motivation. Katie (who I had a lesson with on my test day) also is a calm, warm, encouraging teacher and I highly recommend them both as instructors. Absolutely awesome, you'll be blessed to have them teach you on the journey to becoming a qualified driver! Thank you so much guys, I'll never forget you! 🤩👍🏻 Read Less

I cannot recommend Coopers Driving School enough.
After years of putting off learning to drive, I decided to take a leap of faith at the age of 30. After multiple instructor changes and lack of progress, I knew I needed to find an instructor who was clear, concise, and most importantly wanted me to pass - and I found these qualities in Nathan and Caty!
I had approximately four 6 hour lessons with Nathan and two 2 hour lessons with Caty. They were simply superb. They made me feel at ease and provided a safe environment, and I could talk about anything - from music with Nathan and cats with Caty! They had nuggets of knowledge only acquired through years of experience, and had very unique ways of delivering them. I learned a lot more about safe driving with Nathan and Caty in 1 month as I had over the last two years.
Choosing Coopers Driving School is a no-brainer if you want a group of empathetic, kind, and generous instructors with wealth of knowledge and pedigree. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned learner looking to brush up before a test, Coopers Driving School will help you reach your goal.
Nathan and Caty - I owe you every bit of my driving success! Read Less

Relaxed, clear instruction ... and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Nathan's intensive driving lessons to anyone. I deferred learning to drive until I was in my fifties, being very afraid of the possibility of hurting someone in an accident, until a new job made it a necessity. So I started lessons very tense, expecting to find it difficult and stressful, and with no idea even how to steer. Nathan put me at ease from the outset, broke down the skills into simple, clear sequences, and succeeded in getting me to enjoy driving ... as well as passing my test, of course. I really appreciated learning how to read the road and anticipate problems, seeing how Nathan's approach made him an incredibly safe driver while being relaxed and enjoying the experience. Exactly what I needed. Thanks! Read Less

I had tried several times to learn to drive, but always had found juggling lessons around work and study difficult. So I was 37 and very unconfident when Nathan took me on, but his systematic, calm and patient teaching style got me through. I can greatly recommend home as a teacher. I have had to do a great deal of town and motorway driving in my first six months since passing and I parallel park outside my house: I realise now how invaluable the clear, systematic, memorable drills can Nathan employs in his teaching have been.

Absolutely brilliant. Nathan is a highly skilled driver with an in depth knowledge that he passes on in a calm and clever way. I would describe him as the ideal teacher; there's no looking-down-the-nose and no pressure. The lessons are immersive but not overwhelming, he definitely got the best out of me.
Nathan tailored the teaching to me personally, picking out where my weaknesses were, insightfully explaining why and what I could do to improve - which is exactly what you want a teacher to do - and boy did I improve! Nathan is not only intelligent at driving, but intelligent at teaching - which is just as important. Sure, lots of people are good drivers, but Nathan has a fantastic way of explaining, comprehensively, how to become one. I had lessons with a different instructor when I was 17 and thought I was bad at driving because I didn't feel like I was making any progress - I did more in 3 hours with Coopers Driving School than I did in 20 hours with my first instructor.
I would recommend Coopers Driving School to anybody who wants to learn techniques on how to drive confidently and safely for the rest of their life. Their pass rate speaks for itself. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had, I couldn't wait for my next lesson; there is absolutely nobody better! Read Less

I booked a 4hour intensive driving day to give my son the confidence he would need to pass his driving test.He has had a lot of lessons and drives a car regularly however he gets nervous in a test situation, so I booked coopers based on past reviews to give him confidence. I paid £100 for four hours driving up front which was a big mistake. After an hour Nathan had managed to destroy my sons confidence by telling him how his other students were much better etc etc. He didn't ask my son anything about himself and was on his phone a lot and also gave him unclear driving instruction. After 2 hours he wanted a coffee break and drove to his house to have one leaving my son in the car outside, my son had nowhere to get a drink from and phoned me to say how bad the lesson was going. I drove behind for a while and my son was not actually driving the car as he was so stressed out by the lesson.Nathan then proceeded after the lesson to tell me how bad he did. My son has been in absolute tears by the experience. Not the confidence building lesson that i had in mind when i booked it.Read Less
