Testimonials
"Clive has taught both my son and my daughter to drive and I am very impressed with his calm and encouraging approach to lessons, ensuring that they had the confidence they needed to tackle their driving test with a positive attitude. He is great at communicating when it comes to organising lessons and is as flexible as possible to fit round college timetable, work and holidays. I thoroughly recommend him !!!" - Christine
"I recently have been taught to drive by Clive and have found the experience to be enjoyable. He has a patient, efficient approach to teaching and gently encourages improvement all the way to the official test. He was particularly understanding and flexible with the difficulty of my attending university in a different city, arranging lessons in advance so that I could make the most out of my visits home. I overall couldn't have chosen a better driving instructor and would 100% recommend both for practicality and personality" - Laura
"We were recommended Clive as a driving instructor for our daughter by previous learners. From the first point of contact he was extremely professional, informative, kind and patient. The lessons were well structured to meet our daughters needs and often scheduled between lessons at college which was brilliant and very flexible. The communication was exceptional and we can honestly say that our daughter looked forward to her lessons each week. It can be a big challenge for some people learning to drive but Clive is a brilliant instructor and we are delighted our daughter recently passed. We would highly recommend Clive to anyone. Thank you for the superb tuition Clive. " - Mel
"If you’re looking for a patient and calm driving instructor who can encourage you to be a confident driver then Clive is the perfect choice. I always felt in control and safe while driving alongside Clive, he knew exactly when to calm me down or to push me slightly out of my driving comfort zone in order to learn new skills. Clive provided professional lesson plans and mock driving tests, which undoubtedly aided me in passing. I believe that I couldn’t have passed without the help of Clive and recommend him to anyone, especially nervous drivers and complete beginners!" - Codie

"I have been learning with Clive for two years now, I’ve got nothing but kind words to say about him. Suffering from severe anxiety, I couldn’t have wished for a more understanding and patient driving instructor. I would highly recommend him to anybody as he is very professional but also such a lovely genuine guy." - Megan
"Clive is a calm, friendly and relaxed driving instructor who's style of teaching is brilliant for everyone. Each lesson is catered towards the individual to ensure that it is most beneficial to getting to test when you are ready. Clive's high pass rate is an understatement of how good an instructor he is and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive." - Ollie
"Clive was a fantastic driving instructor. I couldn't have asked for anyone more patient, flexible and friendly! He made it easy to organise lessons with quick communication and flexible timings. His calmness in the car made it easy to relax while driving and he prepared me really well for my test, taking into account what I felt I needed to practice each lesson. Thank you!" - Anna
"I was recommended Clive from 3 friends who had all learnt/were learning with him. He was so accommodating towards my circumstances, went above and beyond to help me learn to drive and was so flexible with pick up and drop off locations that worked around my childcare needs. I honestly don't think I would have passed first time or been to test standard when I was if it wasn't for his fantastic instruction. He is so calm, patient and uses techniques that really get you to remember what to do. He gave me the confidence and reassurance that I could do it as I was quite nervous. I truly felt he believed in me and that really helped my self esteem and I wanted to prove him right as I knew he wouldn't have taken me to test otherwise. I looked forward to our lessons and our chats along the way. I honestly couldn't have asked for a more positive and friendly experience that has changed mine and my family's life." - Beth
"Clive is a very good instructor. He is very Patient and friendly, also very flexible about lesson times. I am a Brazilian and already had experience of driving in my country, but hardly any in the UK. I had to take a driving test here in the UK and Clive helped me with all my bad habits I had incorporated with time and taught meal what I needed to know to pass the test. I passed first time! Thank you Clive." - Liliane
"Clive is a fantastic instructor. He's patient, reassuring and helps you to learn at your own pace." - Alistair
"I am pretty much certain that I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor. I'd heard all sorts of horror stories from friends and family in the past and so before I met you I was naturally apprehensive. Of course, such worry was totally uncalled for as you were patient, calm and generous with your time and effort. I feel confident as a driver and never thought I'd manage to engage with it as well as you helped me to." - Georgina
"Clive was an amazing teacher. I've been recommending him to everyone I know! - He made me feel very confident with my driving and taught me very well! - He was very patient and kind, cheered me up when I had a bad lesson" - Georgia
"Clive was an excellent instructor, teaching me everything thoroughly but always being very patient and understanding. He was lovely, easy to talk to, and I have recommended him to lots of my friends." - Charlotte
"Clive successfully taught our son to drive soon after his seventeenth birthday. He had a total of twenty lessons and although he was not able to practice between lessons he successfully passed his test at the first attempt. Clive was an extremely helpful & patient teacher who made lessons fun and accurately assessed his assimilation of skills. I would strongly recommend Clive as a driving instructor for your child" - Lucy
"I came to Clive after 12 months with a prior instructor, and still anxious and scattershot. In a short space of time, Clive's calm, personable teaching style allowed me to grow real confidence in my driving, and helped me become better and more organised behind the wheel." - Danny
"Clive is an extremely patient and diligent driving instructor, whose teaching methods were highly intuitive and thorough. He transformed me from an anxious novice to a safe and confident driver, and thanks to him I passed first time! In Clives lessons you will come to know the ins and outs of being an outstanding driver, as well as a detailed understanding of the criteria you will find in both your theory and your practical tests." - Patrick
"Clive was the best instructor I could have asked for! He was extremely flexible with lesson times, which meant I could balance college life and learning to drive. After lessons Clive I feel safe and confident when driving on my own! Thanks Clive! " - Aggie
"Brilliant instructor, it's not surprising he has such a high pass rate! I would recommend to anyone who wants to pass well and soon after they start! (It only took me 4 months and only 3 minors)" - Dylan
"Clive was a great driving instructor - he put me at ease during my first lesson even though I was extremely nervous. He was extremely calm and clear about what you had to do even during the trickier lessons. Clive was able to tailor the lessons around what was convenient for you and best to help you to pass the test. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor. Everybody should drive with Clive!" - Ginny
"The standard of tuition I received from Clive was excellent and I very quickly felt confident behind the wheel. With Clive I was able to progress much faster than a lot of my friends were with their instructors and went to test in a fraction of the time which saved a great deal of money. Lessons were easy to organise around my college timetable and very good value for money. I have already recommended Clive to a number of friends, who all now have also passed, and would again in future." - Cameron
"I passed my practical driving test first time after around 4 months of lessons with Clive. He prepares you for your test perfectly, ensuring you know everything you need to and teaching you systematically and patiently at a pace you are comfortable with. Clive also always made sure I had at least one lesson a week, despite his busy schedule which I am very grateful for. I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor. Thank you!!" - Maeve
"I couldn’t recommend Clive Russell more highly. He was absolutely fantastic with my daughter, Clive's approach was perfect for my daughter as he not only taught her how to drive well but really encouraged her to believe in herself which did masses for her self confidence. She passed first time! Thanks Clive." - Susie
"After years and years of on and off driving and 3 different instructors, I had completely given up learning to drive and stopped believing I could achieve it. Until my friend (who passed her test) recommended me to Clive. I started off learning with Clive as a very nervous, unconfident driver. Only three months of lessons and I passed my test! I strongly recommend Clive, he is an amazing driving instructor, he always believed I could do it and gave me the confidence to believe in myself again. He is so patient and kind which made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I am genuinely going to miss my lessons with Clive, and this is coming from someone who previously would dread the thought of a driving lesson. Thank you so much Clive, this will change myself and my children's lives! " - Poppy
"Clive is a fantastic driving instructor, who I have recommended, and will keep on recommending, to many friends. When I passed my test I was nervous about driving by myself, but I had Clive's voice in my head telling me calmly what to do the whole way. Clive doesn't just teach you how to pass your test, but how to drive safely and confidently. He helped so much in improving my confidence, and we also had so much fun in our lessons! We always ended our lessons laughing (not always at my driving!) and every lesson I felt I learnt so much. Thank you Clive!" - Sophie
