Passed first time with Liam. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor even from my very first lesson back in January he has always been very helpful and supportive and believed in me even when I did not believe in myself! He has made my learning experience very enjoyable from start to finish. 5 stars.

Really grateful to Dave for the lessons. I had some complicated scheduling requirements as a freelancer but he was really accommodating and gave me great guidance to drive safely and understand the test. Highly recommended instructor and driving school! Thanks 😊
Caitlin Pearce
Really great instructors. They are really friendly and make you feel comfortable when you are nervous about driving. Very encouraging and professional. Would recommend!
I passed my driving test today and can’t recommend Liam enough.
From the beginning Liam has been a kind, and patient instructor even at times that I doubted myself. I couldn’t have done it without his constant reassurance.
I am endlessly grateful for all the support he has given me throughout and I would 100% recommend him to anyone wanting to learn.
Thank you.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. From my very first lesson, Liam made me feel comfortable and helped build my confidence so much, especially during the times I doubted myself. He was always patient, approachable, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand.
Every lesson felt relaxed whilst still being really productive, and it was clear he genuinely cared about helping me improve and wanted me to pass my driving test. I’m incredibly grateful for all the support, encouragement, and guidance throughout. I would 100% recommend Liam to anyone wanting to learn to drive.
Thank you again for everything!
Passed my test first time thanks to Dave :)
Passed my driving test today with 0 faults thanks to Dave at Newmans Driving School.
He’s really patient, good for nervous drivers, and his mock test system meant I felt properly prepared going in.
Would definitely recommend.
Dave was an amazing instructor, I recommend. Was able to help me pass my driving the second time and helped for me to go over my mistakes I made before to help me improve and helped for me to be confident in myself for driving.

I passed my test with Newmans today and I gotta say he is a really good driving instructor and I if I got asked to recommend someone it would be him. Thank you Dave
I have been learning with Liam since the summer. I got in touch with Newmans and due to a cancellation got in quickly which was pleasing to hear.
Liam is a great instructor - made the session enjoyable and tailored to my own pace, which I appreciated. Very punctual and extremely reliable, and had some great sessions. Will definitely miss the weekly sessions.
Could not recommend more highly.

Emily Shepherd reviewed Newmans Driving School – 5 star
Dave is an excellent driving instructor - he is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, calm and encouraging. I had genuine fun learning to drive with Dave and am so thankful for everything he taught me. My only regret is that I had to move away from the area before being able to pass my test. When I do eventually do my test, I will owe everything to Dave! Thank you so much for everything!
