Passed first time with Nick at West Wickham. Nick is a really patient driving instructor and is very flexible with lesson times and has never cancelled a lesson in the time I’ve been learning. He has years of experience and is very knowledgeable. You are getting what you pay for with Nick and I feel like a confident driver already!

I contacted Nick for a refresher lesson as I saw his fantastic reviews and his years of experience with Tesla cars. He did not disappoint- he was patient, helpful and encouraging. He was knowledgeable on the Tesla models and was able to give me the confidence I needed to get the best out of the car. Would thoroughly recommend Nick for anyone who is learning to drive, needs a confidence boost and/or wants someone with experience with driving Teslas.

Nick taught both my sons to drive at short notice and with a short period of time before their tests were booked. They both had failed previously and struggled with other instructors. Nick was reliable, patient, made sure they were ready and gave them the confidence they needed to pass. Worth every penny! Thank you Nick.

I'm a mid-40s first-time learner. Nick came recommended to me and I'd recommend him to any new learner too. He's a patient, encouraging, knowledgeable and experienced instructor. Lessons take place in Dulwich and Beckenham, with the latter especially allowing me to develop new skills and build on ones already learned in a manual car. We've been developing clutch control, which is definitely helping me build confidence lesson by lesson. I never thought I'd be working towards a driving test at my age, but here I am – and Nick comes highly recommended by me.

Been having refresher lessons with Nick now in my own car, I must say it’s going really well my confidence is growing, went on a motorway and to tunbridge wells, drove at faster speeds. Nick is really good company and so relaxed. Highly recommended

I'm really enjoying learning to drive with Nick. He's experienced and easy to get along with and has built up my confidence and skills much more quickly than expected. Some lessons are in Dulwich and others around Beckenham. It's great to have the flexibility to experience different driving environments

Had refresher lessons around Dulwich with Nick, now using my own car and starting to go on motorways and faster roads and gaining my confidence back. Excellent teacher.

Nicholas has been giving me lessons in the Dulwich area. I am a “mature” learner and he has been really patient with me. He is a strong teacher and good company
