Andy has really helped me gain confidence while driving, as well as being such a great instructor helping me learn. He is a very friendly guy and has taught me the basics of driving in ways that helped me massively.

Megan Hunter
Enjoyed every lesson
Andy has been amazing. He explains everything in full detail until understood. He references to the LDC workbook which has visual representations. He also uses maps which is very helpful. Andy always explains why things may have gone wrong. Andy allows you to think for yourself and make decisions for yourself before advising you. I have enjoyed every lesson with Andy and will advise him to anyone looking to learn. Thank you so so much😄

Jamie Forbes
Had a bad experience with a previous instructor who destroyed my confidence and I needed to get my license quickly for a new job. Andy was amazing and really helped build my confidence back, getting me through my test in time for my job. I felt I had no chance of passing my test and within a couple of weeks, Andy had me proficient enough to pass first time with minimal faults, something that I didn't think possible when we started. He is patient and very supportive, nurturing independent thinking and decision making which was exactly what I needed. I couldn't have hoped for a better instructor. Thanks Andy for saving the day!

Cameron Wakerley
Very nice, teaches well with clear instructions and ways to improve. The LDC website is helpful with videos and information and the workbook for show me tell me questions etc. Lessons structured well.

Max Davies-Brown
Andy was an excellent instructor. Really catered to my needs. Got me to pass first time. Really friendly and most importantly, a Leeds United fan. LDC resources were really good. Specifically the workbook and the show me tell me questions in it. I would happily recommend Andy and LDC to any new drivers.

Drew Patel
Very helpful and patient. Made me feel confident with my driving. Very constructive feedback. Passed in good time and very pleased with the lessons I’ve had.

Poppy Mogg
Andy is fab! Very friendly and helpful resources were also very useful for practical and theory.

Ginny Leadley
Andy is a brilliant driving instructor. His teaching is clear, constructive and always progressive which has enabled me to move on in a structured manner with my driving. Andy communicated excellently, explaining what he wanted me to do and why, which has not only enabled me to drive but also to develop an awareness and consideration of all other road users. Andy kept notes of each lesson so there was no guessing as to what we did last time and what needs further work. Each lesson was planned and discussed to focus on what I felt I needed more practice with and what Andy knew I was struggling with. Lessons were kept on track and never allowed to drift. As an older learner I really wanted an instructor who would teach me at my pace. Andy is an LDC ( Learner Driving Centre ) instructor which uses a structured system of teaching . This includes a LDC workbook and app which I found helpful to refer back to between lessons. The method allows you to see exactly where you are on your learning to drive journey and helps to prepare for the next step. Andy is patient and calm and his coaching skills are evident as he is able to pick up on any minor things early which could later become an issue. At times I felt anxious about driving especially on busier roads but Andy talked me through the anxiety, gradually building my skills and therefore confidence. I’m over the moon to have passed my test today, first time and with no faults - there’s no doubt this is due to Andy’s excellent teaching. Thanks Andy, I couldn’t appreciate it more.

Max Duffield
Very friendly and helpful
Andy was a very supportive instructor and has helped me become a great driver. Very friendly and helpful always. The LDC driving skills workbook was also very helpful and had all the info I needed.

Hope Barker
Andy was very calming
Instructor was very calming and understanding when it took me a while to figure out what I’m doing. The LDC workbook was very useful and helped me to understand the rights of way in roads and understand how I can visualise certain roads that I may not have come across.

Sophie Ross
Been learning with Andy for over a year and passed first time. Andy was always accommodating with lesson times and is very knowledgeable. Provided me with extra resources such as the book and some online resources.

Lucy Donohoe
Recommend to everyone
Great instructor, very patient and knowledgeable in driving tips and teaching content. Very nice and friendly throughout. Recommend to everyone. I liked the LDC workbook, it was very helpful and the videos were a good way to visually see what the manoeuvre looks like in action. The hub was good for the theory test prep as the questions were similar to the actual.

Amelia Hill
Patient, kind and funny
Andy is really patient, kind, funny and overall amazing. He creates a really welcoming and relaxed environment, and he is overall the best teacher anyone could wish for! The LDC workbook and app provided is also very helpful.

Jack Yates
During my time learning to drive Andy has helped me a lot as I had no experience with driving beforehand. At the start Andy helped me gain confidence with my driving from an early stage, as he helped me try and perfect the basics. Throughout my lessons we slowly implemented different obstacles that will occur while driving (eg roundabouts & crossroads). Andy helped me go through this and made sure that I was confident in my ability so that I had no fear of these situations. Andy was very helpful but also very cautious as he was alert to danger always. He helped me learn steadily and not rush through any of the objectives. I would highly recommend.

Jacob Caisley
Andy is so incredibly relaxed and very friendly which makes it easy to learn and makes it exciting. Andy has helped me overcome my nerves which ultimately has encouraged me to keep trying for my test. I recommend Andy to anyone and everyone, all credit to Andy!

Esme Sharpe
Andy is a friendly, kind and patient instructor. He is a great teacher who lets you learn independently, but isn’t afraid to help you out. He makes driving sound simple!

Lewis Dawson
Made it personal the whole time in lessons. Went through things time after time to help you go through it. Helped talking to you through the nerves. Included you with involvement asking what you want to work on. Found out what works for you in particular to help you work on it. Chats through everything with you, helps and talks through everything. When it comes to mock tests make sure you’re perfect before you’re ready so when Andy says you’re ready, you’re ready!

Euan Farrington
Really supportive and calming, great teaching and helps get the most out of you.

Owen Harrison
Andy was super friendly and supportive
Andy was super friendly and supportive for the whole experience of learning to drive. We went at a pace that was challenging but also doable. The LDC workbook used when learning to drive was very useful and gave useful pointers and learning opportunities. Overall, my experience of learning to drive was enjoyable and with a lack of stress and I feel safe on the road due to Andy.

William Andrews
Andy is such a good instructor and a great person. He helped me so much from not knowing anything to passing on my first time. Thank you very much Andy. I would recommend LDC to any new drivers, it is so helpful.

Lucy Leaf
Really good instructor - reliable, friendly and flexible Good driving techniques Helpful resources in the LDC Workbook Great resources on the app for theory test.

Levi Marshall
Andy is extremely friendly and a patient driving instructor who is brilliant with nervous drivers. Very reassuring, a great teacher. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn drive, whether they are new or experienced

George Eshelby
I think Andy was a great instructor and he made sure that I was comfortable with all the manoeuvres. Also, in preparation for my second test, he made sure I went over the issues from the first one so I knew for next time.

Charlie Thornton
Andy was a really great instructor - he was always able to keep calm (not the easiest thing to do at some points.. ) and was always engaging. With regards to the LD System, I found the LDC workbook’s content quite useful, both for preparing for lessons and measuring my progress using the targets. I didn’t really use the online videos though, nor did I use the theory test preparation resources because I’d already done my theory test prior to meeting Andy. Overall, my time learning to drive’s been enjoyable, and I feel Andy’s been a big part of why.

Ollie Foster
Really good instructor
Really good instructor and explains everything clearly. The LDC workbook was good to follow for targets to set myself as well as the show me / tell me questions. Andy explained the book well and went over everything very well which allowed me to understand everything. The LDC Theory Test preparation allowed me to feel confident when taking my test. Andy made me aware of all these resources which allowed me to prepare for everything.

George Coleman
Andy was fantastic throughout my learning experience. He kept me on the right track from start to finish. I felt like I had a steady progression, not being too stressed whilst pushing myself to learn in the best way possible. I want to thank Andy for his continued support this year. I would like to praise his calmness in my first few lessons as I was finding it stressful and he took his time with me.

Freya Forbes
Andy was very patient and his feedback was thoughtful. This made learning quick and comfortable. The LDC workbook was helpful at the beginning and before the test, but otherwise I didn’t use it that often. But it’ll be a nice refresher to use in future. The practice theory questions and mock tests were extremely helpful. I also appreciate how flexible Andy was with rearranging lessons etc.

Joshua Coverdale
As an instructor, Andy is one of the most patient, understanding and helpful instructors I could’ve wished for. The past six months with his guidance has resulted in an extremely rewarding teaching style, making me feel like I was both learning as well as growing my overall confidence. Andy couldn’t have been more approachable, trustworthy and better choice to teach me and I owe a great deal to him. As for the theory preparation; they too were very helpful in my preparation as the UI was helpful and efficient to navigate with every possible question at my disposal. I felt more than ready when my test came. Overall, fantastic.

Dan Wilson
LDC / Andy is a perfect instructor as he helped me to pass first time. He quickly got me up to speed on driving and made me feel confident in my abilities, especially on daunting obstacles to a beginner. I would highly recommend to anybody wanting to learn quickly and efficiently as he’s done just that for me. If you want to learn certain things he will teach you the best way to do it, for example, a certain manoeuvre that you struggle doing.

Sarah Pun Sin
A really enjoyable experience
Learning with Andy has been a really enjoyable experience. He is very patient and values my opinion on my own driving, making sure I recognised areas I could improve on. I always looked forward to my lessons with him. We worked at a pace I was comfortable with for me to make good progress. I would highly recommend learning with Andy😀 The LDC workbook was very helpful for helping me practice for my test. It is easy to follow and explains everything well. Having my own copy was helpful for me to learn/revise in my own time.

Max Hodgson
Very informative Helpful All round good driving instructor Workbook very useful.

Ellie Samms
The LDC resources I think are very good. The LDC workbook was helpful when practicing the show me tell me questions. My instructor was very good, knowledgeable and also very reassuring when it came to my test and the whole learning process.

Harry Samms
Good instructor, really friendly, enjoyed driving lessons and felt well prepared for my test. The LDC workbook was helpful as it had everything in it I needed to be prepared for my test. Preparation resources were great and easy to use with all the questions I needed to revise.

Finlay Scott
Excellent driving instructor. Patient and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. Makes you feel very comfortable behind the wheel and remains calm when identifying any errors you have made. Online method worked very well. Easy to use and check progress. Andy really helped with preparing for the test and especially the manoeuvres.

Callum Hall
LDC is fantastic! The lessons with instructor Andy were great. Lessons were packed with advice and help. Andy is fantastic. He really knows what he’s doing. The style of learning was great and I’d strongly recommend using Andy and LDC.

Stephen Kerr
Absolutely amazing! Really enjoyed my lessons with Andy. I think his way of teaching is perfect, makes every lesson stress free and the test feel a lot less scary than it could be. The best thing about the lessons is whenever you make a mistake you both talk about what happened and what you could’ve done differently or better.

Very helpful - Calm and understanding. Provided me with all the support needed to pass my test. Calmed me down and taught me to not be nervous while driving. Gave me confidence, he was very friendly and we had some good laughs while learning.

Olivia Pritchard
Andy was patient in every lesson and happy to go over and explain things lots of times. It was really useful having the LDC portal to refer to alongside the lessons. Andy was also very happy to rearrange lessons as and when they were needed. I would definitely recommend Andy to other learner drivers as he made sure I felt comfortable, confident and ready for my test. Thank you

Alex Mitchell
Patient with nervous drivers Good temperament Easy to get along with, friendly person Well experienced with the finer points of the application process Good for starters to learn with. Would highly recommend.

Arthur
Fantastic instructor. Andy is patient, clear and explains things very well. I always felt safe and reassured when learning to drive with Andy. Having a calm presence in the car teaching you is so vital as it helps and teaches you to keep a cool head whilst driving. Andy epitomises this and as such I would highly recommend him to any prospective learners.

Millie
Andy has been a great instructor throughout my lessons. Even when stressed he has provided me with reassurance. He has made it a fun and comfortable environment to learn in. It has been an overall great experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

Melissa Shamoon
Andy was amazing from the start. Very calm throughout and helped me with all my problems with patience. He has a great teaching method which made things very clear for me. Amazing, can’t recommend him enough.

Ben Morritt
Andy is very calming and takes his time to thoroughly explain all situations and manoeuvres before going into them. As an overall experience driving with Andy is extremely positive when you are just finding your feet as the level of detail he goes into helps you to know what exactly you as a driver need to work on and where you can improve on parts of your driving. In terms of the LD System workbook and overall learning tools they help to put into technical terms all the key aspects of the driving test and all parts covered in lessons. Overall, my experience in learning to drive with Andy has allowed my confidence and ability to massively improve, causing me to pass my test and drive with confidence.

Tom Yates
Andy was really helpful throughout this entire process. He was amazing at keeping me on my toes throughout drives and taught me the basics very thoroughly. One of the most useful parts of having Andy teach me was how easy it was to rearrange lessons due to his quick communication. Andy is very calm when driving, a stark contrast to what you hear of others, never getting angry if you make a mistake. Overall it has been a pleasure to be taught by him and a very enjoyable experience.

Raul Patel
I started driving at the end of May and Andy was really encouraging and patient. The lessons were really well planned and helpful. Andy made sure I was ready for my test which helped me pass first time. Andy’s a really good instructor and I would highly recommend him.

Sam Troup
Amazing - Very calm and patient - Great teacher - Went over everything in detail - Made sure I was comfortable with everything before moving on - Helpful and constructive feedback - No faults at all - Definitely would recommend.

Lizzy Morritt
I had been learning to drive before COVID, but due to lockdown had to take a break so picked up driving again in August 2022 with Andy. I had developed many bad habits and Andy has helped me get rid of them and gain confidence in my driving skills, which had lacked previously. He has helped to develop my knowledge of driving and the car and car maintenance, all important elements of being an independent driver. Andy is very friendly and helpful as an instructor, with patience and ability to explain everything in good detail. I would happily recommend Andy to anyone who is looking to learn how to drive. Thank you Andy!

Abbie Quick
My instructor was patient with me from day one, taking lessons step by step. I knew I could voice any concerns I was having and my instructor would offer me any help and advice. The resources that were provided to me were very useful and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend LDC for learner drivers.

Will Stone
Andy has been an excellent instructor throughout my entire time learning to drive. He made me completely confident in myself that I was capable of driving and made me competent at everything that I was doing. Andy’s structured lesson plans made it easy to know how far I was along with my learning at all times, as well as providing a helpful guide that was filled with questions and notes to give you helpful extra tips throughout. With Andy’s help I was able to pass first time with only 3 minors and I did it confidently with Andy’s support.

Joseph Smith
I had previously had some lessons, but switched to Andy and since then my driving has progressed quicker than I expected. I also looked forward to my lessons. The Driving Skills Workbook was very useful, especially towards the end of my lessons as it meant I could practice the show me / tell me questions. Also, the online hub was very useful for my theory test because in my actual test the questions were more similar to LDC’s hub than the Apps I’d used previously.

Mohammed Akhtar
My instructor was extremely patient and understanding. He understands how to adapt to different learning styles whilst clearly explaining his instruction in a way I would understand. Andy was always ready to accommodate my life circumstances when needed and was always punctual.

Jozef Bonnar
Andy was very informative and knowledgeable when asking questions. Andy let me progress at my own rate and adapted his teaching accordingly. In the end, I feel like I’m a safe and confident driver that passed with no driving faults. Throughput the entire process Andy was calm and collected and explained how to approach junctions and all the manoeuvres thoroughly. Overall, I’m very pleased.

Marcus Radosta
Very friendly. Fantastic lessons and great feedback. Calm lessons. All lessons were wonderful, perfect structure and way of teaching. Really enjoyed every lesson.

Helen Hodgson
Really helpful throughout. Ensured that he took his time explaining each step. Supportive and calm when situations maybe stressful. Referencing to the LDC Workbook helped gain understanding and terms used on test.

Jack Leake
Provides resources to learn from. Gives great driving knowledge. Consistent and patient with his students.

Henry Fish
Cannot thank Andy enough. He is very patient and understanding and nothing is ever too much for him. His way of teaching is great, from asking what I want to focus on each lesson including his recommendations. I found the LDC Driving Skills Workbook very beneficial as it increased my awareness of which manoeuvres I needed to work on. Andy was always very punctual, friendly and easy to get along with and have a laugh. While out on a lesson Andy would pick up on any mistakes and practise and perfect them on our next lesson so I knew where I needed to improve. Overall, I can’t recommend Andy enough. Thank you.

Sophie Gill
Really patient, always made me feel comfortable and never doubted my abilities. Always a good drive with Andy😀 Passed first time with his teaching.

Arun Haley
LDC Theory Test Resources: Very helpful, especially the amount of practice tests and that it covers all parts and categories of the test. Instructor: Didn’t rush my lessons and made sure I understood the processes and what to do before moving on. After learning the basics I got the choice of what I needed to improve on and really helped with my progress as a driver and being ready for my test.

Rebecca Foster
Fantastic experience with Andy. Such a patient and supportive instructor. Andy has been so encouraging and he’s never made me feel like a slow learner, despite it taking me 5 years altogether to pass. Very reassuring and just an overall pleasure to be taught by. 10/10 experience.

Matthew Carruthers
The resources provided were very helpful and showed a clear view on what to do. Andy was very good at showing me how and what to do making me have a clear understanding. Very clear with telling me how each manoeuvre is done and in general very helpful and organised with student drivers. Overall, brilliant.

Felicity Bell
A great instructor. Very patient and explains things very clearly. The resources are extremely helpful and help to guide the lessons and track progress. Would recommend to any new drivers. I found Andy’s approach of pulling over to talk through complicated manoeuvres before attempting them extremely helpful. Being encouraged to ask questions and learn the theory behind the manoeuvres definitely helped me to understand them and adapt my approach when the roads were busy, and has helped me to become a confident driver.

Ollie Heppell
Andy was brilliant, really good at showing how to do things when unsure. Great instructor.

Fleur Rivera
Andy is a great instructor. He is calm and taught me efficiently and effectively. I have overcome my many fears and difficulties with manoeuvres. Andy is really lovely and I feel comfortable learning how to drive. I gained knowledge, skills and confidence and that’s all thanks to Andy. Thank you Andy, you are the best. Hope you are able to help other learners as well. Keep up the good work😀

George Pickford
From the start Andy was kind, down to earth and understanding. He took in everything I asked and gave great feedback. If I was unsure on anything he was willing to let me try/test my theories to clear any mental blocks. Every lesson I was met with a positive greeting and reassurance on what we previously learnt, and what we are going to tackle that day. I would recommend Andy to anyone of any ability to learn with him. I couldn’t have done it without him.

Ryan Gorman
Calm and collected, good feedback where to improve. Not too complicated, but enough for a full understanding. Would recommend.
