"1st time pass with only 3 minors!"

Coming from a country with left-hand traffic, the thought of driving was not a pleasant one. This was until H came to my rescue. I could not have asked for a better driving instructor. His patience and humour makes you feel at ease, like talking to a friend. Yet his professionalism cannot be understated. He has a way of explaining things which makes learning an enjoyable and stress-free experience. Indeed, H and I remain friends and thanks to him life has been much easier. Thank you H.

"100% recommend"

So, I passed my test just over a year ago, and during my lessons, I had H as my instructor, and I couldn't have wished for anyone better. He was professional, supportive, understanding, and friendly.
From our very first lesson together, we developed a very good friendship, which continued to grow throughout my lessons. We would always joke around with each other, and he is very easy to talk to. We even stay in touch to this day. He was kind enough to buy me bottles of water during my summer lessons.
Whenever necessary, H would sometimes finish our lessons early if I had to leave early and would be understanding if I needed to change the day of my lessons for the future weeks if something came up.
With his lessons, I was able to pass first time. He makes sure you are more than prepared for your actual test, so if you have H, get ready to celebrate passing your test.

"I had H as my driving instructor and he…"

I had H as my driving instructor and he was the most professional and friendly instructor I have had the pleasure of learning with. He helped me to pass in the time I needed to pass he was supportive and honest all the time. He even took me to do my theory test in Luton as I couldn’t get there. So he made the time to take me and wait for me so I could get home. He gave extra time if you needed it. I have now passed my driving test months ago. And still speak to H regularly he was my instructor. But quickly became and remained a friend. Thank you again H. I hope you see this mate.

"Carl at no gears Bury is an absolute…"

Carl at no gears Bury is an absolute star. My lessons have been over a lengthy period because of Covid and also my initial severe nervousness. Passed first time today and Carl has played a massive part in this.

"Amazing driving school!"

Passed first time! H was an amazing driving instructor, I felt so relaxed whilst learning so much within 2 hours! His teaching methods were outstanding, and he is such a lovely man - I gained a friend and a license, couldn’t have asked for anything better :)

"Amazing driving school"

This was the best driving school for my daughter. H was a verydriving instructor, he was always so calm and such a lovely man. He had such a good technique she learnt so much from him in a short space of time and she passed first time with only 3 minors .
I have just seen a review saying very nasty things about H , I can not let this go and see such a talented man slated on here .
He was a excellent driving instructor .

"Stay away such a negative experience"

Keep away! I don't usually write reviews, but I feel so strongly that I need to forewarn people. My encounter with a driving instructor from Letchworth's no gears was truly awful. He was aggressive, condescending and does not possess the skills required to make the learning process positive. I essentially paid for two hours lessons to be made to cry and to be spoken AT about topics unrelated to driving that made me feel extremely uncomfortable. After a few weeks of perseverance, I finally switched companies and instructors, and the experience couldn't have been more different. If you're wanting to learn in Letchworth or the nearby region, I'd strongly advise finding a different company.


Edit:

“ necessitated driver intervention” is a disingenuous term, the only intervention was unprofessional yelling on multiple occasions. I have no reason to lie. The increase in reviews since I wrote this explains everything you need to know. I stick by my original post.

"James ( Stevenage )"

James ( Stevenage )

I had a previous instructor who made me a really nervous driver,

Thanks to James,From the moment I first contacted him to stepping in his car, I felt so much more confident, he taught me so much more, helped me with drawings and every fine little detail to get me to above test standard, I passed 1st time with him, I really can’t thank him enough, I will miss his constant chatting to get me through the lessons, very professional

"Barry Nickless - what a gem!"

Barry Nickless - what a gem! I started lessons with Barry during COVID times and had to stop and start due to restrictions and lengthy delays between practical tests. Barry was always patient and put me at ease when needed often letting me practice a particular maneuver over and over again. Barry also gave me alot of confidence and helped me realise I was ready. Barry was a great communicator was always on time and really flexible if I couldn't make a lesson last minute or need a different drop off location. I cannot recommend Barry enough and will actually miss our chats during our lessons now that I've passed. Thank you Barry and No Gears.

"Passed on my first go!"

Passed on my first go!! Very good instructor. Peter West was very patient and clear in his instructions at all times. He gave me constructive feedback at the end of every session which helped a lot. He repeatedly reminded me of important things that I need to keep in mind during every lesson, so when I took the test, I was very comfortable driving. He also gave me mock tests before my test which are essential to give you a feel of what test day may look like.
