What my clients say
C Segal
"Nigel has a great teaching style and really puts you at ease with his affable personality. I actually came to enjoy the lessons which I never thought I would! I am pleased to say that with his expert tuition I passed first time. I thoroughly recommend him as a driving instructor."
Vincent S
"Would just like to say many thanks to Nigel for getting me through my B+E trailer test. Right from the off Nigel was very professional whilst teaching and arranging times dates etc. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family. So thanks Nigel."
Fiona
"I can not recommend Nigel Slater enough! As an older female student and nervous driver, Nigel intuitively adapted his tuition methods to suit my needs. I can genuinely say that without his guidance and support I would not have passed my test with only 3 minors. 4 years later and with no accidents or penalties its clear Nigel truly teaches safe driving for life!"
Nicola C
"I thought it sensible to have some instruction in towing a trailer, even though my licence allows me to do so without taking a further test. What a good job I did! Nigel was brilliant, puts you at ease and is patient and has a great sense of humour. I recommend anyone contemplating towing to have some instruction with Nigel. Many thanks."
Helen L
"During the 1st lesson Nigel made me feel comfortable & confident. He adapted his teaching style to meet my needs. Nigel is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable,resourceful,and passionate about his job. I would recommend him every time."
Tom H
"From my very first lesson, Nigel made me feel calm and at ease. Nigel gave me confidence with every aspect of driving. He was always patient and happy to take time to answer questions. I'm looking forward to doing the Pass Plus with Nigel, and couldn't recommend him more highly."
