To learn effectively, student drivers need to be calm and comfortable. That's why we list all the information that learner drivers care about when booking their first driving lesson.
Here is our breakdown for learning to drive in Newcastle with a male driving instructor and driving school.
It's important to learn to drive with someone you feel comfortable with. Whether that instructor is male or female, is fully up to the learner driver. If you have a preference then that will help put your mind at ease when learning to drive.
I am very happy with the lessons that Gordon has given me. He is a really good instructor, he is patient and kind. He really teaches you how to drive like a pro, not just for the test. I feel able to be safe on the road without anyone in the car. He has a real passion in what he is doing. Basically Gordon is an amazing instructor.
I had a fantastic driving experience, Gordon was polite, professional and I highly recommend him. The sessions were '.næll thought out, informative and enjoyable. After going with other driving instructors I found Gordon to be the best I have had. I had a good connection with him which not only made the lessons easy, but enjoyable. Rob 'meson
Driving with Gordon is a huge pleasure. He will insure that you become a safe and confident driver, the time and effort he puts in to make sure that you become a brilliant driver is unmatched. I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor. I cannot thank him enough for everything that he's helped me with.
I took driving lessons with Gordon for around a four month period. From the onset, Gordon was approachable and informative. He was very welcoming and I felt safe and confident with him from my first lesson, with the exceedingly high standards of teaching that I was receiving from him. Gordon was a very flexible driving instructor, whom would often spend afternoons with me focusing on a particular aspect of my driving and perfecting any areas that needed to be aided. I also used Gordon's drive with a friend service, which is great as it enabled me to learn from another learner driver and also boost my confidence by having advice from another passenger in the car. I found Gordon offered extremely high value for money in comparison with other driving instructors I had researched and that he would be flexible to meet your requirements in regard to how long you wished to drive for. Gordon also made sure I was ready before taking my tests, taking me both locally and far out to Lincoln and Newark. Jed Stout
Having spent many years having lessons, with many different instructors, I became disillusioned that I would never drive. I struggled finding an instructor who taught to match my learning style. From the moment I got into the car with Gordon, I felt comfortable and calm. Gordon ensures he relates theory to practice Being a logical thinker, it was exactly what I needed. I started looking tomard to my lessons and began to improve week after week. Gordon is the best value tor money instrucutor I have ever Known. We even spent an hour every week in a cafe talking theory over a coffee, tor which there was no charge. Gordon uses a 'learner centred appoarch': as I am a teacher I understand how valuable this is. Gordon didn't only teach me what I neede to know to pass my test He, taught me 'advanced-driving techniques' and 'defensive driving' , to ensure that after I pass my test I stay sate. Phoning Gordon was the best thing I ever did. I haven't only gained an instructor but also a friend and that's so valuable. I will be recommending Gordon to anyone who will listen. Thank you tor everything.
I started driving lessons with Gordon in January 2014. At first I was very nervous and apprehensive but soon felt at ease with Gordons tutoring skills. He has a very calming manner and memorable phrases which are easy for you to remember. What I enjoyed the most was the thoroughness and the attention to detail which contributed to me becoming a more conscientious and safer driver. Often we would break the lesson up by going to a cafe where we would discuss theory and situations regarding other road users and general knowledge of the Highway Code. I found this very interesting and always asked questions which Gordon was happy to answer. Gordon is very approachable and enthusiastic which I found infectious and made me more determined to pass my test. After 5 months of driving with Gordon he suggested I put in for my test, which I did and passed first time. Whilst taking my test I felt safe with the knowledge which I obtained during my lesson's with Gordon. I would recommend Gordon to anybody who wants to learn to drive.
Gordon was recommended by a friend and I feel leaming to drive with him was a positive experience. He has a lot of experience and was profes- sional throughout, from the first to the last lessom Lessons consisted of practical driving and theory, combined to provide full and thorough teaching and training aimed to produce a safe, confident and good driver. Theory sessions took place in café's during a driving break. These sessions provided deeper understanding which could be directly related to the driving experience. The time spent on these in no way detracted from time spent behind the wheel on the road; in fact, overall the amount of hours spent behind the wheel far exceeded the money I paid. The driving experience and training was ex- tensive: not simply driving around familiar roads or the test route. We travelled far and wide under vey different conditions. We covered city centre, town, rural and busy dual carriageways, in a variety of weather and road
"A straightforward and safe driving instructor. Gordon is there to teach learners how to drive safely after your test as well as how to pass the practical driving test. He will explain plenty of theory that applies to the theory test and how to deal with awkward situations in real life. Great value for money, and I would recommend him to any leamer_"
If you want to learn how to drive safely instead of just passing your test, Go Driving is the best at providing driving experience on many different scenarios which sets you on the right road for independent safe driving after you have passed your test. It also provides very good value for money with a cap on prices to ensure the student gets the most out of the lesson.
My experience of learning with Gordon was very good. I leamt about all the things to look out for on the road and also it's not just about driving the car but observing everything around. I had some fantastic sessions driving and experienced lots of different situations that with other instructors I wouldn't have had. I highly recommend Gordon if you're looking to learn to drive.
