"David has taught both our children to drive over the last 3 years. Both had very different attitudes and levels of confidence when learning to drive but David's quality of teaching enabled them both to pass first time with few minors. David is extremely calm and encouraging, he gave them the confidence from the first lesson to believe in themselves. They built up basic driving skills quickly and over a fairly short period of time were able to approach some of the busy dual carriageways and roundabouts in Northampton. They enjoyed their lessons and the freedom of learning to drive. David taught them to drive but also how to stay safe on the roads and manage challenging situations. His approach was not just to pass the test which meant they felt less pressure but quite quickly they were ready for test day and now have the freedom of the road. We would highly recommend David without question for new drivers."

“We would thoroughly recommend David as an instructor. From the initial phone call to discuss our sons lessons through to him passing first time has been faultless. He supported our son at all stages, increasing his confidence, road awareness, driving skills and rules of the road. He not only enjoyed his lessons but he learnt to drive safely and made great progress in only 5 months. He was extremely calm in his teaching and ensured he was prepared for each new step. We would recommend David without hesitation and are very grateful our sons not only passed but has good safety awareness on the roads. Many thanks Sam ”

"Having David as my driving instructor has been an incredible journey from when I first began in August, to when I passed first time in April. I could not have done this without David's immense support I had received the entire time, paired with his clear & calm demeanour whilst teaching. He was always on time and patient with me. I am more than happy to recommend David to any future learners :)"

"I asked the boys to give me an overview statement too so feel free to use any/ all/ none as works for you! David is calm at all times and always found a way to help me, even if I was doubting that I could do it. Will. David is really supportive and helped me to practise the things I found more difficult until I got them. Charlie David has always been professional, reliable, punctual and flexible. He has been positive about progress as well as giving tips on what to practise in between lessons. We would highly recommend using David if you want great teaching and preparation to be a safe and confident driver. Karen & Andy Thanks again.

"David was recommended by a friend and I am now recommending him to everyone I know! Our daughter was very nervous but David's teaching skills, sense of humour and an abundance of patience had her enjoying her lesson in no time. He was extremely helpful and even managed to help secure an earlier test date for us. The Total Drive app was very useful showing progress for each lesson and you can also keep an eye on what you’ve paid for and how many lessons you’ve had. Rose has passed her test now with only 1 minor and has complete confidence to drive herself about, all thanks to David."

“I have had 3 instructors from when I first started my lessons and what an improvement I made while being taught by David. He would fit in around my schedule which was great because of my work
He made me feel super comfortable the whole way through and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.”

I contacted David will a very nervous and unsure daugter in tow, she'd had a few lessons elsewhere but put it on hold due to covid and lack of confidence. David agreed to an initial lesson to see how she felt, well she returned from that one lesson a different young lady. Elena has thoroughly enjoyed learning with David who is patient, calm but also firm in re assuring her that she could do it. Elena is a beautiful little driver and that is down to David. I don't think she will ever forget " Safe and Legal Elena" Katie Ball

David was recommended to us by a friend. She knew my daughter had anxiety and liked to have things explained to her in a way she could understand and remember. After her first lesson with David she was really happy and felt confident, he put her at ease and is very patient. She had lessons with him for less than a year and passed her test first time with 1 minor fault.Highly recommend David to anyone that asks.

"From the first call to Samuel passing his test, we couldn't fault David. He was patient and calm during my son's lessons. Samuel thoroughly enjoyed them. We can't thank David enough. We recommend David to anyone looking for an instructor and we will definitely be asking David to teach our daughter to drive once she's 17".

David has been a great driving instructor to my 17 year old daughter. His communication regarding lessons has always been prompt and very accommodating. He has also been a very supportive and patient teacher, which I’m sure were big factors in boosting her confidence and enabling her to pass her practical driving test first time. Thoroughly recommended.

David was amazing, from the moment I met him, he made me feel at ease about driving. Anything I wasn't sure about, he would help me. He taught me road confidence and awareness in both his instructor car and my own car and how to keep calm (which wasn't always easy!) I would highly recommend David to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

I recently took driving lessons with David, and he's a brilliant instructor. He's patient and knowledgeable, and he has really helped me build my confidence on the road. David has a great teaching style, breaking down complex manoeuvres into simple steps. He also provides constructive feedback and tips for improvement, which helped me pass first time. I would highly recommend David as a driving instructor.

"Just passed my test after months of lessons with David and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. From start to finish he kept his composure when at times I had some absolute howlers and I couldn’t be more thankful for it. Taught me how to keep my composure too which allowed me to pass my test first time."

“David was recommended by a friend and from my first call with him I was confident I had made the right choice for my son’s Lessons. He was very supportive, knowledgeable and patient with Ollie throughout his lessons and the test process and I’m sure that’s what assisted Ollie in passing first time with no minor’s! Very professional and punctual for all lessons and was always happy to update me on Ollie’s progress. I would highly recommend to anyone and look forward to sending my youngest son to him next year.

"I started driving when I first turned 17, I was incredibly nervous and decided it was not for me. Around 8 months later I had a friend recommend David and since then I have enjoyed driving more than I ever could of expected. As a rather nervous driver it took me a little while to pick up all the skills I would need to pass my test, however David was there the whole time to reassure me and build up my confidence. David taught me not only how to pass my test but also how to drive safely and competently on the road for once I had passed my test. Overall I have had an amazing experience and would recommend David as an instructor to anyone!"

"David is a fantastic and patient driving instructor. My son is autistic and dyslexic, so finds it difficult to process some instructions and information. David's teaching methods helped him gain the driving skills and confidence he needed to pass his test first time. Would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone who wants to learn to drive."

"I have loved every lesson with David from being eager for my first driving lesson right up until test day. He was extremely coherent and followed an approach which allowed me to put instruction into practice - safely - all while helping to build my confidence. David was friendly, patient and articulate through the whole process helping me to pass my driving test on my first attempt with just one minor!!
