"I had six refresher lessons with Richard to regain my confidence in driving.
He always started each session with a clear briefing about what we would cover, followed by time for questions, the actual driving practice, and a review at the end.
During the lessons, Richard gave clear instructions and was always encouraging.
One particularly helpful thing is that he always summarized each session and sent detailed notes afterward — incredibly useful, as it’s easy to miss things while driving since there’s so much to focus on.
I also used Google Street View to revisit the routes I drove and review the points Richard mentioned in his notes. This really helped me make progress, especially with planning, observation, and overall awareness on the road.
Many thanks to Richard for his patience and effort during our sessions!"

"I was very happy to have Richard as my instructor for my driving refresher course. He's patient and kind (a characterial nod to his parallel services as driving instructor which youngsters, especially, seem to benefit greatly from), as well as being pragmatic, cool-headed and informative, which belies his past service with the Sussex police. All in all, you couldn't better wish for someone like Richard beside you in the Home Counties' asphalt jungles. Bravo!"

"I have a lot of driving anxiety, and contacted Richard for some refresher lessons to help me get back on the road after a very long break from driving. From our first phone call, and then during lessons, he was very patient, kind and reassuring. He was able to provide exactly the guidance and support I needed, and knew the best routes to take that would gently build my confidence. I found his tuition on parking and slip roads especially helpful, and my confidence was much improved after our lessons. I was intrigued by his background in road policing and found his knowledge and insights to be really helpful. He also gave me a demonstration of proper commentary driving, which was fascinating! I would happily recommend Richard to others, and would definitely contact him again if I had another dip in confidence or wanted to work on further improving my driving skills"

"I cannot rate Richard highly enough. So patient and knowledgeable, he really helps you understand the fundamentals of driving and builds up your skill set with each lesson. The detailed feedback emailed over at the end of each lesson was so helpful.
An absolute pleasure to have as an instructor. Thank you Richard!"

"Richard was a fantastic instructor from day 1. He created a calm and supportive learning environment, adapting his teaching style to suit what worked best for me. Even when tackling new challenges like slip roads and roundabouts, he was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything clearly.
I’m so grateful to have had him as my instructor—I don’t think I would have passed my test on the first attempt without his help. - I would highly recommend using him!"

"I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Richard ! From the very first lesson, they were patient, professional, and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. They explained everything clearly and provided helpful tips that boosted my confidence.
English is not my first language as well and Richard understood that ,from very begging always making sure if I understood correctly and double checking everything we did together.
Richard was always punctual, encouraging, and tailored the lessons to my learning pace. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and supportive driving instructor, I highly recommend Richard . They truly care about their students’ success!"

"I completed some advanced driving sessions with Richard and he is so good at what he does that I felt more confident in my driving after only the first lesson. He explained things to me in a way I understood clearly, and was very patient and answered all my questions. He also sent me an email after each session going over what we did and things I needed to improve on, which I appreciated a lot as I can be quite forgetful so it was great to have something to look over. He is also very easy to talk to which always helps when you’re going for an hours drive together!
I couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you Richard"

"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!"
