Learning to drive with Ian was brilliant as he was reliable, patient and friendly. When I first started learning to drive I was a nervous wreck but over the months I grew with confidence.

Ian is also very good at explaining what went well during the lesson and what needs improving, this I feel helped me understand my driving from another perspective and help me improve.

I would recommend Ian to anyone wanting to learn how to drive.

When I finally decided to learn how to drive I was lucky enough to take lessons with Ian from Drive UK. He gave me real encouragement and showed me how to drive safely in all different situations. Because of this I feel I was able to pass my test with ease first time. Now I just jump in the car to go from A to B rather than relying on public transport or lifts. I wish I had done it 10 years ago! ....Thanks Ian.

Having felt absolutely terrified about learning to drive I was shocked tofind how much I enjoyed it. Ian gradually introduced me to more traffic bitby bit which I feel has helped me to progress quite quickly.I would recommend Ian to anyone wanting to learn how to drive. ....Thanks again

Once I turned 17 I couldn`t wait to start my driving lessons. I visited many websites and telephoned several driving schools but no-one was as competitive as Drive UK. My instructor Ian encouraged me thoroughly and showed me the best possible methods in order to drive safely.

I would recommend Ian to anyone, as I already have to friends and family.....Thanks a lot Ian.

John, Roker Sunderland
Learning to drive with Ian at Drive UK was great. He pushed me all the way and challenged me to think for myself rather than relying on him all of the time. Like he says, "Look beyond your driving test, you won`t have an experienced driver sitting alongside you to help you all of the time." With his way of thinking I felt very relaxed and confident on the day of the test and passed quite easily. Now I enjoy driving everywhere. ....Cheers Ian.

I`ve never really thought about a change of career until I learned to drive. After learning so much and enjoying every minute of it I`m seriously thinking of training to become a driving instructor in the not to distant future. ....Thanks for everything Ian.

Phil from Fulwell, Sunderland
Having failed two driving tests 10 years ago I did not feel confident about starting my lessons again. But with Ians patience and friendly manner I immediately felt relaxed which in turn made learning a great deal easier and actually enjoyable.

With a brief discussion at the end of each lesson outlining my progression and noting the next steps to further improve my driving I confidently sat and passed my driving test. I have a great amount of gratitude to Ian for his part in helping me achieve this success.

Having thought my driving lessons would become a chore I was thankful that I enjoyed every minute of them. Ian made me feel comfortable and listened to my thoughts on my driving whilst learning. He was very positive and encouraged me all the way and now I am a confident driver, Thanks Ian.

8 years ago I took several driving lessons and attended 2 driving tests never feeling confident. Having received further driving lessons from Ian I feel I have learned lots more about how to drive safely and confidently and this Im certain enabled me to pass my driving test. I would gladly recommend Ian to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

Gareth from Tyne Dock, South Shields
Having been disqualified from driving I was fortunate enough to receive driving lessons from Ian leading up to my test. I found Ian to be a competent, patient and friendly driving instructor who always clearly answered any questions I asked him. Due to Ians commitment my lessons went swimmingly and I went for my driving test feeling confident and passed no problem in time for Christmas and the arrival of our child.
