My name is Matthew Dean, and I live in Gloucester.
I was wanting to be able to have weekly lessons with an experienced instructor during the summer, before I returned to university.
We searched on the internet for Driving Instructors within Gloucestershire, and chose Mike because of his great reviews!
I had lessons a few years ago, however coming back to it I quickly relearned the basics of starting the car and driving off. Driving then became easier than at the start as I practiced awareness of speed and distance and the procedures for manouveres had become closer to second nature.
Mike was a great instructor who introduced the separate parts of the syllabus in a simple to understand and well-paced manner. Instructions were clear to understand but I could always have them repeated if I was confused. When there was an issue when meeting traffic or approaching junctions for example, Mike would always tell me how to correctly treat them in the future, I could see what I had done wrong and what to do instead next time.
I would recommend Mike, he is always calm and his explanations and teaching are well thought out covering the various situations we might be in. He always knows the answer to my questions as well.
Thanks again Mike.
