Hi Andrew I just wanted to say a huge thank you I learned from the best and I love driving now so much better than getting the bus! Although I’m still learning in all weather conditions  haha.

Thank you

A fantastic instructor. So friendly and takes the lessons at the students pace. Would highly recommend.

He's a very friendly person, he doesn't push you to do anything you don't feel ready for. He lets you do the lessons at your own pace. He's very calm and considerate to you. He's also very pleasant to talk to.

Can I just say that this guy is just the greatest. A fantastic instructor and just amazing all round. Always finds time to ask how i am (and my cats) genuinely want to pass people and not just take their money. He is the best instructor i have had, and trust me, I’ve had a few. Keeps me calm throughout every lesson. Genuinely going to miss our lessons but deffo booking straight in for pass plus

Andrew has been so great - offers an excellent service for a very reasonable price and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn in Abergavenny. Combines lots of knowledge and professionalism with patient and friendly instruction. Thanks Andrew! .

 Amazing instructor! Calming, and tailors lessons to the needs of the student and takes time to understand how you learn. Would 100% recommend.

Cannot  recommend Andrew as a driving instructor enough got me through the new test 1st time!  Very patient and clam, puts you at ease, explains everything thoroughly and is an all around great instructor.

If you’re looking to learn to drive in and around Abergavenny then it has to be Andrew. He makes you feel relaxed and confident behind the wheel, not to mention his cracking one liners! I was a total novice when I started and now feel ready to take on the roads on my own and it’s all thanks to him.

Today, at the age of 41, I passed my driving test first time! Huge and endless thanks to Andrew Driving Instruction for truly professional coaching. If you are looking for an instructor I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough! If I can do it, anyone can. Woo hoo!

Absolutely amazing couldn’t believe it when I passed. Andrew was so patient, easy to get along with and a great teacher 10/10 can’t thank him enough. Sorry it’s taking me so long to leave a review been busy driving lol. Started lessons in October passed the 2nd of January. You won’t get a better teacher in my opinion. Thanks again
