I'm currently learning to drive with Chris Murray and I'm really enjoying my lessons. Chris clearly explains what is required and gives me helpful feedback to enable me to improve. If your looking for an instructor, then i highly recommend Chris Murray.

I learnt to drive with Chris. I found him really easy to get along with, he gave clear instructions that were easy to follow. I found that I was able to learn to drive with confidence and good ability. I passed my test first time and I attribute this to the way I was taught by Chris. I really recommend him.

Colin helped me get a first time pass! He was always patient and helped me feel prepared before my test. He also worked really hard to get me a new test, after the DVSA cancelled mine at short notice, which I really appreciated. Would recommend him to anyone!

Chris is a brilliant and patient instructor with whom I always felt very comfortable. He gave a great balance of encouragement and constructive criticism and makes an effort to teach you to be a good driver, rather than just pass your test. Additionally he is just a lovely guy to chat to! I passed my test first time with him :)
