"I am very glad I've chosen Adrian to be my driving instructor. He really cares about people becoming good drivers and it shows. He is passionate and dedicated throughout each lesson, employing every tool to help you learn.
It's not only the mechanics of driving but also a new mindset, a way of thinking like a driver which makes a huge difference, as I felt myself.
Despite having several years of driving experience in another country, after lessons with Adrian I now realise I am a totally different driver. And I even miss our lessons a bit, it was a good time🙂
So, if you want not only pass your test but also get a very important skill for life, Adrian is your man! 👍🚗" - Maksim - 26/05/21

He goes above and beyond with the effort he puts in to ensure that students feel confident and comfortable in driving. He provides detailed notes and is very methodical with his approach to teaching. Overall, I would definitely recommend Adrian to anyone that is based in Nottingham" -
