Read some of my reviews.

It was such a pleasure being taught by Richard! Couldn't imagine anybody else having the patience to teach me. He always encouraged me to not give up and to try harder which made me have the confidence to pass first time! Honestly enjoyed learning to drive with Richard. Would recommend to anybody looking for lessons :) Lauren Hamilton Loughborough

Richard is a very professional driving instructor who has taught my sister, brother and I to drive and successfully pass our tests first time. Richard’s teaching style is very thorough, clear and puts you at ease whilst learning new skills. He is friendly, encouraging and persists to get the best out of you. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who needs to learn to drive. Charlotte Cole Loughborough

A big thank you to Richard! Brilliant teaching, years of experience, all-round nice guy, great pass success-rate and all at a fair price. Would thoroughly recommend lessons with him to anyone learning to drive around Loughborough.
I found Richard through reviews such as this on Facebook and decided to get in contact. From the first lesson I knew I’d pass my test through his teaching methods and ended up doing so with just 3 minors on my first attempt. Ziggy Loughborough

I always looked forward to our lessons and as you’ll find out, he’s not just in it for the result at the end but genuinely enjoys his time teaching the ways of the road, complimenting the time with some regular ‘dad jokes’. Angus Rogers Loughborough

I would highly recommend Richard as your driving instructor if you’re looking at your options, I am just one person but from reading reviews prior to my lessons he is very adaptable to your driving style and experience.

Thanks again Richard.

I found Richard online after a year’s break from two years driving. In those two years I’d taken three tests and failed all of them. Poor Richard has probably never had such a disheartened learner in the car before! But with his tuition, it took me less than three weeks to pass on my fourth attempt – so technically my first test taken with him! His teaching methods are foolproof, and he emits such a tranquil aura that panicking is pretty much impossible in the hours you spend driving with him. It only took 13 hours for him to iron out all those little quirks (I’m sure anyone who has tried to pass a driving test will know how one little mistake can be catastrophic), and succeeded in making me battle-ready for my test. I cannot recommend him enough. I’ve had several instructors, and I can say without any doubt that if I’d started learning with Richard in the first place, I might’ve passed my test on my first attempt. New learners and seasoned test-takers alike will excel under his capable tuition. Thank you Richard!!

Richard has been excellent start to finish. Friendly, calm, helpful and most of all patient which really helped me as a learner. I would recommend him to anyone who is learning. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

I will definately recommend learning to drive with Richard! he is an excellent instructor, throughout all my lessons with him I felt relaxed and learned at a steady pace building up confidence. I've now passed my driving test first time! couldn't have done it without him.
I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone looking for a driving instructor. He has so much knowledge and guidance to give throughout all lessons which is useful when learning to drive. He give a supportive and friendly atmosphere during lessons and is dedicated to each lesson. I wouldn't of passed without Richard's teaching and support throughout. Thanks again & I hope to see you around on my travels!

Richard is a fantastic instructor. He’s very patient and definitely knows how to teach no matter your level of skill. I started as a novice and he showed me through all the basics despite my many failings. It’s always a pleasure to drive with Richard as he shows real concern for his students – probably why he has such a high 1st time pass rate!

Highly recommended to anyone thinking about getting lessons
