Testimonials
I cannot recommend Amanda and Nigel highly enough. They both go out of their way to accommodate your needs and offer structured lessons. They are kind, motivated, flexible they do far more than just a job.
They are passionate about their job and not just in it for the money, their aim is not just to get you through your test but to make you a safe confident driver. They make the lessons fun and are really genuine people.
Without their reassurance and their sympathy towards my nerves I would never have passed my test, but I did they made me believe in myself and knew just how my nerves needed to be handled. I cannot thank them enough.

What a 1st class experience I had they made easy to learn, not criticising when I made mistakes and I made a few, and praising when things went right .i highly recommend them to anyone thinking of learning to drive.

My experiences of learning to drive
I began my lessons with 'Learn with Confidence' at the end of November 2006 on my 17th Birthday. At first, like any teenager beginning to drive, I felt very nervous and unconfident. One thing which I was not expecting to do on my first driving lesson was to drive home from where I was practising, this I believe to be a huge benefit because it gets you use to driving but you also know that either Nigel or Amanda can help you if necessary.
Over the next few months, I was making steady progress but my clutch control needed a lot of work. With Nigel, I managed to sort this problem out and so I became a lot more confident with how I was driving. Along with this Nigel went through different situations each week such as roundabouts and junctions and how to handle them, this was useful because we not only went through how to do something, we consistently practised the skills taught.
When I took my first driving test in July 2007, I was again very nervous, on that day nerves got the better of me and so I failed with a small number of mistakes. After my first test, we spent the next couple of months practising everything that had gone wrong in my first test.
In August 2007, I switched instructors to Amanda because of Nigel's busy schedule and because Amanda's car is nicer to drive, with Amanda I continued to iron out mistakes until I was very confident in my driving. As a result of this I passed my driving test in December 2007, after lots of encouragement from Amanda and Nigel. In January 2008, I also completed my Pass Plus with Amanda which was also very helpful in improving my driving and confidence.
Overall, I believe learning with 'Learn with Confidence' a good decision because both Nigel and Amanda teach at a high standard and treat their students with respect and encouragement. I believe that Nigel's approachability and Amanda's reassurance helped me to overcome my nerves and so helped me to pass my driving test.

The relaxed and friendly atmosphere is a great and easy one to learn it! It makes learning to drive that little bit more fun!

After I had had several other instructors I found learn with confidence, I found them to have good structured and informative lessons which made learning to drive so much easier and finally I passed my test 1st time if only I had found them before

'I have been learning to drive with 'Learning with Confidence' for 7 months now and I couldn't imagine learning with anyone else. When I started, I had never driven before. I was nervous to start with but I was quickly put at ease by the instructor's friendly manner. Learning to drive has been great with 'Learning with Confidence' because the instructors are so understanding and patent. They take you through driving step by step, from the basics of how to turn the engine on, all the way to passing your test. Driving with 'Learning with Confidence' is really worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone learning to drive.'

hi ,
im heidi, i had 8, 2 hour lessons with mandy ,she made me feel very confident on my lessons and before i had my test. And i passed first time:). I had other driving experience but mandy taught me the things i need'ed to know to get me through my test .I would recommend "Confidence" to new learners.
many thanks mandy heidi
started learning to drive when I was 17, I had a number of driving instructors including some big names but none of which helped me overcome my fears, I hesitated a lot and I was really quite nervous.
I gave up on learning to drive and thought I would never pass my test, then a good friend recommended "Confidence".
Amanda put a lot of time and effort into me, I overcame my hesitation problems and I began to have faith in my self and believing that I could pass my driving test.
After just seven months with Confidence I put in for my driving test and I passed first time.
Passing my test has really been one of the best things I have done, it has given me independence and opened new doors for me in life, I look back now and I know that this wouldn't have been possible without Amanda's help and support.
Miss my lessons :(
