Outline
My friends tell me I am calm, patient, easy going and at times have a childish sense of humour ! All qualities which I feel are useful in my lessons.
I offer lessons to suit individual needs and my aim is to prepare my students to be safe, confident and competent drivers on the road.
I was a nervous wreck when I first started to learn to drive but my amazing instructor Richard Lewis was so patient and understanding! He went along with all my quirks and taught me how to drive in a way that was tailored to me. He has helped me come along leaps and bounds and I can honestly say without him I would have never passed. I had given up hope with driving but I have now passed!!! If you’re nervous and anxious to start driving I can honestly say pass is the way to go!!! They are reliable, friendly and patient and definitely worth the money and time! I owe my success to this driving school and Richard in particular! Definitely learn to drive with Pass!
Thank you to Richard Lewis at pass driving school for helping me pass on my 2nd attempt with only 2 minors. Couldn't have asked more from a driving instructor helping me gain confidence and being patient with me.
Absolutely thrilled to have passed my test today on my FIRST attempt. I could not have asked for a better instructor than Richard Lewis. Richard has been a very friendly, patient and thorough instructor and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Thanks Richard and Pass Driving.
Thank you so much to Alex Holder for starting my driving lessons with me and Richard Lewis for getting me test ready! Passed with only 4 minors, I couldn't have done it without either of them, both brilliant instructors I highly recommend .
Very good driving instructors, I cannot recommend Richard any more. Extremely helpful, and a really nice person, thank you for all the help.
