"Contacted Richard 4 days before my practical driving test, having never driven in burgess hill prior to this.
Richard managed to give me an intensive 3 days of lessons* before the test to make sure I was completely test ready.
I managed to pass the test first time and could not have done it without his help. Thank you Richard !"

"Richard is truly an excellent driving instructor! He explains things clearly and in a simplistic way that made it easy to understand. He doesn’t only teach the basics to pass, but also teaches how to be a good driver. I was a nervous learner but that quickly changed when I started lessons with him. He’s very calm at all times which helped me a lot, and has good humour which is a plus! He also takes the time to email me a recap after each class so that I have notes to refer.
I’d highly recommend Richard to anyone who needs a driving instructor!"

"I contacted Richard after a long break in driving a car. My confidence was very low and I dreaded driving anywhere.
I had 3 classes with Richard, after the second class my confidence improved a lot and I am not terrified of driving, especially when there are more cars. We spent the third class on improving driving technique, especially country lanes.
Richard is a very calm instructor, he won’t force you to do anything you are not comfortable with. For instance, during the first class I drove only on small quiet roads with no cars which was the best thing for my lack of confidence. Since I already passed test, Richards asked me what I wanted to do during each class. I was More confident during the second class and we did some parking, going to nearby towns etc.
Richard gave me a lot of excellent tips to improve my technique - he sends a recap email after every class which is very helpful. My confidence is up, my technique improved. I highly recommend Richard, you are in safe, supportive hands"

"I had a brilliant experience learning to drive with Richard. His patience and clear instructions made the learning process smooth and enjoyable.

"I'm certainly not a natural when it comes to driving - I last attempted (and failed) learning to drive about 7 years ago and hated every second! I decided to finally get learning again at the start of the year, and with Richard I've not only managed to ace the test, but also actually enjoyed learning!
Richard is an absolutely fantastic teacher, he explains things really effectively and his friendly and calm demeanor really helped put me at ease. Great sense of humour too! I think that Richard has not only taught me to pass the driving test, but also to be a confident, safe driver.
If you're looking for a driving instructor, I would wholeheartedly recommend Richard!"

"Richard is an excellent driving instructor, taking me from complete beginner to passing my test first time. He is patient, kind, personable, communicative and informative. I always felt safe and comfortable. He has a clear and kinaesthetic teaching style. Often using small toy cars on paper with different road layouts printed on them, which I found especially helpful with roundabouts. Richard also would email me reports after each lesson with detailed feedback on what went well and not so well with practise recommendations.
I would highly recommend him. Thank you for all your help Richard" 😊

"Richard was a great teacher and helped me pass my driving test quickly!
He was very kind and always catered to my needs and availability, he genuinely wanted to do the best he could for me and get me the pass certificate but also teach me to be the best driver possible.
For him, driving and teaching is a passion, as for lots of instructors it’s just a job.
I highly recommend!"

"I had the best experience with Richard and I don't think I could have passed first time without his help and support.
I highly recommend his expertise"
Sarah Sayles
"My learning experience with Richard was fantastic. Richard was very patient and talkative during the lessons which really helped me to learn and ease any feelings of anxiety. Richard used visuals to make the learning accessible for me as a visual learner, which was very helpful.
I really enjoyed the process and am glad to have passed and to now be driving confidently"

"Richard has taught both my son and daughter to drive. Richard is an excellent driving instructor, emphasising that he is teaching them to become competent, safe drivers rather than just getting them through their test. He is extremely professional, reliable, kind, patient, trustworthy, calm and very knowledgeable especially with his expertise of working in the police force for many years. Both of my children passed their tests first time. Richard prepared them both so well and they went to their tests with confidence. Richard is the very best driving instructor, and I can highly recommend him!"
