Driving Instructor Testimonials from previous pupils

"I really enjoyed learning to drive with Yves. He always pushed me to do what he knew I had the potential to do even when I didn't think so. He was very thorough in his teaching and made sure I had a real understanding of what I was doing and why, rather than just rushing through things. He was reliable, flexible and good value for money."
Tom Walker, Nottingham

"Before I met Yves Gandara, I tried another 2 driving instructors. Both of these were teaching me how to drive without explaining why I have to do it. It was hard for me to remember the rules, while I did not understand them, I did not agree with them, some of them made no sense to me. With the second driving instructor I went for the exam and I failed it with 7 serious mistakes!!!!! It was so frustrating, embarrassing and I so needed to learn how to drive asap due to my job. Therefore I had to find a good driving instructor asap!!!
I was a very difficult student - impatient, aggressive on the road, nervous..... Yves explained to me every single rule, why it is, reasons for keeping it, etc. After just a few lessons, all of it started to make sense to me, I calmed down and after just 20 lessons with him I passed my test with excellent - only 5 minuses. It felt great! I was so proud of him and myself. He is an excellent teacher and I strongly recommend him to anyone! His approach is unique and very successful, I wish I had met him the very fist time and I saved myself money, time and efforts."

"Learing to drive can be a tough experience. It requires patience, arwareness and common sense. I was unfamiliar with the road and had never driven before; a few hours of good tuition and I am now a licensed driver. Yves allowed me to learn in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended to new drivers everywhere."
Adam Wilde, Nottingham

"I found learning to drive with with Yves not only a fun experience, but I was walking away from each lesson feeling that I made a large improvement. I was very keen to get on and do my driving test but Yves would not let me take it until I was ready, then when the big day finally came I passed first time. This was down to Yves knowing when I would be ready and not letting me persuade him otherwise. Not only was Yves a very good driving instructor but he gave me friendly tuition, and explained to me the fundamentals of driving and how to be safe on the roads, he seemed to understand how intimidating first setting foot in the drivers seat can be. I would highly recommend Yves to anyone learning to drive."
Sam Richardson, Nottingham

"The best driving instructor I had (and I had a lot...I've lost count!). Always patient when I didn't understand something and gave me back lots of confidence I had lost with less patient instructors. Really friendly and happy. I've reccomended him to lots of my friends. And I passed my test with him, so he must be some sort of miracle worker!"
Kay Rogers, Nottingham

"My driving and learning expereince with Yves was always fun and I was ready for my test in no time. The lessons were well taught and he made driving feel easy and enjoyable. A really good thing about Yves is that he is a friend to all his pupils and both myself and my sister who also learnt with him can alway contact him about anything."
Shushil, Nottingham

"Although learning to drive was initially a scary experience, (especially with having my first ever lesson on my 17th birthday in torrential rain!) Yves was an excellent instructor, and very easy to talk to, making the lessons fun and feeling like I had developed with every session. I felt so positive about the way I was progressing with my driving, I also recommended my friend when she was looking to switch driving schools. Thanks Yves!"
Emma Robinson, Nottingham

"I think i must have had about 4 different driving instructors before I finally found Yves. It was such a relief when I did as he is a friendly, clear, concise teacher who uses straight-forward teaching methods that are easy to understand - perfect!
"Yves is also patient and understanding which is just what you need when you keep getting things wrong! I passed my test with flying colours and it is all thanks to Yves. I would recommend him to anyone and have done on several occasions."
