“Rather than just teaching test routes, he actually taught her how to drive.”
Rob was an excellent driving instructor — patient, calm, and incredibly supportive, which really helped build my daughter’s confidence.
Rather than just teaching test routes, he actually taught her how to drive, quickly identifying weaker areas and helping her improve in a clear, reassuring way. He always went above and beyond, and she especially enjoyed learning the drive-through hot chocolates! Thanks to Rob’s fantastic teaching, she passed first time in under three months. We’ll definitely be sending our son to Rob in a year and couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
I’m not sure how, but Rob took me from being a very nervous driver who couldn’t get out of her head to dealing with my anxiety, feeling safe and confident on the roads, and passing my test.
Rob was relaxed, supportive and never made me feel like I couldn’t do it. He understood very quickly how my head worked and came up with great examples of how I could control my anxiety. I laughed and cried many times but am so grateful for Rob’s support!
I learnt the final pieces that were missing from my driving from Rob after failing my first test. He was really, really helpful and encouraging, only giving me feedback in positive ways, which gave me the confidence in my driving that I was missing initially.
Thanks to him I passed with only two driver faults! If you’re looking for a kind, enthusiastic and positive driving instructor, I would really recommend him!
From the very first lesson Rob has been extremely patient and kind. His lessons have always been fun, and I particularly enjoyed the Costa trips.
Rob would always fit in lessons around college time, and was very understanding of my medical needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rob and will miss our weekly lessons.
Passed with Rob Stone. Perfect driving instructor — makes you feel at ease from the first minute of learning. Would give more stars if possible. Thank you again.
Rob has been an excellent instructor. He made me feel comfortable from the beginning and gave me the knowledge to pass my theory and practical tests at the first time of asking with him as my instructor.
Many thanks. I would highly recommend him.
