Your driving instructor...
Gareth has spent his entire working life in the world of education. First as a teacher and now as a driving instructor.
Being 'time-served' in education means that he will ensure your lessons will be carefully planned, progressive and take full account of all the needs you have on your driving development. He will also provide you with the support needed to pass the theory test, hazard perception test and the main driving standards test.
Whether you are confident, nervous or anywhere in-between, you can be sure that you be supported throughout your learning journey in a relaxed environment.

I couldn’t recommend Gareth enough, he’s so patient, kind and a very good instructor!! I managed to pass first-time with only one minor! I looked forward to every lesson and I'm gonna miss them now thanks for everything and honestly can't praise him enough!!

From driving myself home on the first lesson, to passing my test within 4 months, Gareth has taught me everything I need to know and more. His way of teaching is top tier, not making you feel bad or anxious about your mistakes but encourages you to learn from it and improve every lesson. He understands that everyone is different and accommodates the lessons to best suit the learner. I believe I learnt so fast with Gareth due to his fun, talkative nature making the lessons exciting, looking forward to the new stories we can share on our next journey. Not to mention the "reviews" conversation which had us both laughing the whole way round Preston and I hope it will grace the ears of whoever takes my slot. I cannot thank Gareth enough for how much he has helped me and I can't wait to see him out on the road with another learner doing what he does best

My instructor, Gareth, was absolutely amazing! He was informative, patient, and so helpful with every aspect of driving from starting the car to driving on the motorway. He was very understanding of my chaotic schedule, and even agreed to do a nighttime driving lesson, so I could get practice in the dark. I passed my test 1st time, and it 100% wouldn’t have happened without him as my instructor. I’d definitely recommend for absolutely anyone and everyone!
