Testimonials - Brian

You won't find a better driving instructor then Brian. Brian is such a kind and patient man. I highly recommend him. Extremely professional. Thanks for everything Brain. You're a legend!!

Jessica d

I highly recommend this school and the instructor Brian!

Brian managed to help me out so much during the whole process, since the first lesson when I was pretty much panicking! He made me feel totally calm, safe and confident about driving!

I did pass my test last week and got my open license and cannot simply let it go without letting you know how much I appreciate everything that he did for me! I know some people would say "he is just doing his job" but I have had lessons with another 2 instructors before and none was able to do what he did for me!

Brian is a genuinely good person doing something that he can do really well, he was always on time, smiling, being calm and friendly, to have lessons with him was a always a great experience, learning a lot every time! He helped me so much more than he can imagine and I will recommend him to all of my friends, and be thankful forever!

Thank you Brian for all your hard work with me, best of luck to you!!!

Margaret A

Barbara A

It took me years to finally decide it was time to get my driver’s licence, but once I started taking lessons with My Driving School, the whole process felt easier than I had imagined. Brian is an outstanding instructor. I wouldn’t have passed without his excellent lessons and clear, supportive teaching style. I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. My test felt surprisingly easy and stress-free because we had thoroughly covered everything during our lessons.

Radhika C

I studied with Brian for two years! Effortlessly patient, gentle, and a wonderful teacher, I’ve never seen him upset or rattled regardless of how bad my initial driving was. Always punctual, at least five minutes early! Calls, messages, and communicates clearly, and goes the extra mile to walk students through processes and rules. He is a friendly person and a great teacher! I listened to tales about high school in the 70s whilst learning to navigate roundabouts. A solid five stars, anyone would be lucky to learn from him!

Jared P

Brian met me right where I was at, and I am so very thankful for him. For his truthful appraisal of situations, his imparting of excellent driving knowledge and skills, and his level of care and commitment to do his absolute best to get me confidently on the road as a safe and responsible driver - I thank Brian in mighty ways. Despite my being unsuccessful (which is in no way any reflection on Brian, or the driving school) Brian was exceptionally professional, highly sensitive to me as a driver with some driving trauma in my background, and at all times very punctual. I cannot underplay the ways in which he prepared me for my test; Brian was steady, calm at all times, confident in what he was imparting, and willing to also listen to my needs as a learning driver. I am deeply grateful to Brian, he is a stately asset and a credit to your driving school, and long may he continue to develop drivers, both young and old, for many years to come. He also brought 2 of my 3 children right through to their P1 Driver's Licenses successfully. I cannot thank him enough for his level of care, advice and also fellowship on the road. He's also a really good guy :) Kindly and Sincere regards, Jared

Brian was great during my refresher course. He explained any doubts/questions I had patiently and instructed/guided me well during the one hour session. I hope to not do a refresher course again but if I were to repeat, I'd choose Brian again.

Zade W

A fantastic instructor! I have always found other driving instructors in the past difficult, because they either do not explain things well or talk way too much and act very neurotic about everything, whereas Brian is very calm and friendly and gives you that little bit of freedom to practice your driving and to feel comfortable with driving yet also gives very good instruction and explains everything very well, Brian was honestly the best driving instructor I have had! ??

Samantha D

Lovely instructor and he made me feel very calm when I had to do my driving mentor lesson assessment. He was very good with the students at our school. He pulled them up in a supportive way when he needed to and gave them encouragement as well. I could see through his calm demeanor that the students did really well in the lesson. Thank you Brian!

The day of his test was the first time my son had Brian as an instructor, just because his usual instructor was not available.
