I am so pleased to have passed with Dave, and I truly believe he is the best driving instructor anyone could ask for! He makes driving enjoyable, makes you feel very safe and at ease, and the friendly way in which he teaches is fantastic. He gave me the confidence and skills I needed to drive. There are many phrases he used when I was learning that will stay with me when I drive now! It helps me be a safe driver, and for that I can’t thank him enough.

Want an instructor that you are able to have a chat and laugh with? Then Dave is definitely the guy you want.
Having been recommended by my friend, I decided to switch instructors, it has been the been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Compounded with the fact I was able to pass first time. I have always looked forward to every driving lesson I had, as it was so enjoyable, despite making different mistakes every lesson.
Although I get frustrated at myself, Dave is always there to help and save the day (especially with roundabouts). I highly recommend Dave as he is genuinely the best instructor you could possibly find. Thanks so much again Dave!

Dave is such an amazing instructor! When I first started driving I was so nervous, but Dave was able to put me at ease and make me feel safe. While learning to drive, he would always talk to me and make me feel confident about driving. Also, I had a mock test, with another instructor, which I found to be a great help to show me what it would be like on my driving test. Although I was incredibly nervous, it gave me the confidence to pass my driving test first time. Dave is such an excellent teacher and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn how to drive.

I would defiantly recommend Dave to anyone who would like to take driving lessons!! He is an excellent driving teacher, who never makes anyone feel uncomfortable. he is very understanding as a teacher that’s why so many people have passed with Dave!! I find That Dave is easy to talk too and a down to earth person. I did recommend Dave to two other people who both passed first time. I would like to thank Dave for all the hard work he put in for myself and others and wish him all the best in the future.!!!

I started my lessons with Dave October last year.
I had never driven a car before and was so nervous. On my first lesson Dave taught me how to start the car and eventually after stalling 10 times I finally got the car moving. I was so surprised when Dave said that I was going to drive and he let me drive myself home.
After that things became easier for me and I had a good laugh with Dave. He was recommended to me by a close friend and he was the only person I got in contact with.
He has never once shouted at me for making a mistake and he always asked me if I was ok, Dave is a top driving instructor and I’m so grateful for everything. as I passed first time. Thanks Dave !!!

Dave is the best instructor you could possibly ask for. I have enjoyed every single driving lesson ever since I started. He was recommended to me by a friend and before I started I had no idea what my lessons would be like. I was so relieved when meeting Dave, because what a lovely and down to earth person he is and I felt very comfortable sitting next to him for the amount of time that it took to pass my test.
For every lesson that I had, Dave would be there to make me laugh and would always be there when I ever needed help. Not once would he shout at me for making a mistake which is probably one of the best qualities of Dave because nobody wants to be shouted at. Even when I would start getting nervous or doubt myself he would know exactly what to do and would always check that I was okay.
It was a pleasure meeting Dave and I would strongly recommend him to anyone wanting driving lessons. He is by far the best instructor, as I passed first time and now feel very comfortable on the road. He is a lovely person and will always put his students first. I am grateful for everything he has done and will never forget the experience.

Within a few months, Dave turned me from an inexperience nervous driver too a confident driver, I can’t thank Dave enough for everything he has done and generally being so relaxed and understanding within a car, I couldn’t recommend him enough and highly encourage every new driver to learn with Dave!

Dave Wills, the best driving instructor you could ever have. From the moment I got in the car with Dave I felt safe and I felt like ‘I can do this’. He gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test. Not only is Dave the nicest man I have met he is the calmest man on this planet, if you make a mistake there is no pressure from Dave, he simply shows you how it’s done and then you have a go until you feel you can do it.
I work odd, early and late hours and Dave worked around all the times I wanted to have my lessons which was great! He puts you at ease in the car you chat away like you’ve known him for years whilst learning the skills you need to have.
I was so happy to pass my test however I couldn’t help feeling sad knowing that I wouldn’t have Dave sitting next to me again whilst I drive. If anyone wants to learn how to drive then I recommend Dave 100% he is the best out there to help you have the confidence and the driving ability!
Bradley

Georgia
I have recently had the pleasure of been taught to drive by Dave Willis His attitude, professionalism, and his absolute confidence in me as a learner was unquestionable. I was able to pass my practical test at my first attempt which undoubtedly reflects on Dave’s ability as a tutor.
Recommended to me by a friend, I cannot express my gratitude enough to Dave, having built my confidence and skills behind the wheel and able to communicate his methods of driving in such way that I now feel I have eased into the world of driving in a timescale of my own comfort and personal confidence.
Sophie
Well I did it, I passed first time with just 3 minors. This is all thanks to Dave, he is one of the best instructors you could possibly ask for. Lessons were a laugh a minute making me feel very comfortable and at ease yet he was still 100% professional and looking after my safety. He never shouted once at me for making a mistake and always asked me if I was okay after doing it. It was a pleasure meeting Dave, I would strongly recommend him. I am grateful for everything he has done: making me past first time! Thanks so much Dave and continue what you are doing.

Chelsie
I started driving lesson with dave after being recommended by a friend who previously went with him and I am very glad she did recommend him too me as dave is a fantastic driving instructor! I started my lesson on my 17th birthday and I was so nervous to start driving, Dave made me feel so comfortable and safe when driving in the car and he was so lovely. I passed my driving test first time with Dave and I have recommended him to all of my friends who stared driving, one friend I recommended also passed their driving test first time.
Thank you for all your help Dave, thanks to you I am a very confident and good driver, I wish you all the best for the future.
Sarah
I highly recommend Dave as a driving instructor as he is a friendly, patient, genuine, kind, diligent and brilliant instructor who enabled me to pass my test first time with 3 minors in around 3 months!!! He is such a laugh and this combined with the calm atmosphere of his lessons helped me to feel comfortable and confident to not only drive a car but also to make safe judgments and decisions that developed me into a safe and considerate driver and this is a life skill I will always carry forward with me. I can honestly say I have loved every minute of learning to drive and even when I found it difficult Dave would always go out of his way to find a way of helping me and I will always remember everything he taught me with a smile.
Jade
I just want to say a huge great big thank you to Dave for getting me through my driving test with a first time pass and only 3 minors. Dave is very patient and is very clear when explaining new manoeuvres to make them as easy as possible. I felt very comfortable, safe and reassured throughout my learning hours with him. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and professional instructor who was always on time for my lessons. He was very accommodating as I wanted to put in for my test as soon as possible so he managed to fit my lessons into a short space of time until I passed. Thanks again Dave!
