I owe a massive thankyou to David for the hardwork he put into making sure I passed my test. I started off with 2 hours at Dunsfold, doing one of the young drivers courses with David. It's an excellent starting point for someone who's nervous about learning to drive. He's always calm, and never once raised his voice.He always managed to put me at ease when ever I was worried about doing something I'd never done before. David won't make you do something new unless he feels your ready for it, which is good if you were nervous like me. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with David and would definitely recommend him to anyone who's thinking about learning to drive.
