I can’t recommend Keith at Automatic Pass highly enough. After four failed attempts with previous instructors, I had completely given up on passing my test.
My younger sister passed first time with Keith last year and spoke so positively about her experience that I decided to give it one final try & I’m so glad I did.
As an anxious driver, Keith's calm and reassuring approach made such a difference to my confidence. I passed my first test with him and now feel genuinely confident behind the wheel.
Thank you Keith!!

I had Keith for a very long time great teacher and I wouldn’t have any other teacher it took me a while to find such a fantastic instructor but it was worth it. With Keith my confidence in driving was huge and although I had my struggles with the test Keith was always there to pick me up and help me again so when I finally got the pass we both very much celebrated I would highly recommend worth every penny!!!

Fantastic experience, I have passed my test first time, thank you so much to Automatic Pass and my instructor Keith Whitby. Not only did I feel totally confident with my instructor but he also made sure I only took my test when I was ready which resulted in me passing FIRST time. I am so happy, my instructor was calm even when I wasn't! I totally recommend Automatic Pass

*A good instructor explains; a very good instructor demonstrates, a great instructor inspire the confidence in yourself as responsible driver for your life while driving.*
I have met this fantastic driving instructor, Mr.Chris, at Automatic Pass driving school. He was always in time at my lessons, he was always prepared with the right information at the right time for me to understand step-by-step every single thing and manoeuvre of driving, he took care to show me the best way to drive and to form my driving skills in that way to always feel the confidence in myself as driver.
And at the end, all these indisputable qualities of him helped me learn to drive and pass the exam.
God bless Mr.Chris.
I would be more happy to know that many interested people to drive would have this wonderful learning experience; so look for the best: Mr.Chris – Automatic Pass
