I was so grateful two years ago a gentlemen heard my conversation with my mum about driving lessons and recommended Achieve and said Kev was lovely man and would get me to succeed. I have learned with Kev for 2 years before passing yesterday first time and his time and patience, advice and methods have help me to succeed and complete my dream of driving! For me the best instructor I know of in 5 towns, cheap prices as well as other prices I saw werent suitable for me.
And also being a cas fan helped as well! Always willing to go over areas over and over again which I believe helped me pass first time. It took me longer then I first pictured but I wouldnt change my learning for any other. Thanks again Kev.

I can't thank Kev enough! An amazing teacher, friend and I'd recommend him to anyone who's thinking about learning to drive. He's been there through the highs, lows and diva tantrums but we got there in the end! Thank you so much, it's not going to be same without my Monday evening driving lessons

Today I passed my driving test on the first try and it is completely down to how fantastic Kev is as a driving instructor! He's made the learning experience so enjoyable and comfortable and I'm floored by my own confidence when driving! Thank you so much Kev, I'll see you soon for a go at the Pass Plus scheme!

We'd really recommend Kevin to teach you to drive. He's patient, firm but clear and very knowledgable about how to become a confident, safe driver. Thank you for squeezing Greg into your busy schedule, Kevin. He's over the moon with today's result

My driving experience with Kev was incredible. As well as being a great instructor, he's also a genuinely nice guy. I found his teaching methods to be engaging and thorough - he has all the utilities that's needed in order to fully understand the different aspects of driving. I found I was taught how to be a good, safe driver, rather than just what I needed to know in order to pass my test. I would highly recommend Kev to anyone, of any age, wanting to learn to drive. I passed first time with Kev, and contacting him to arrange my first lesson is something I do not regret!

I chose Achieve because my brother passed first time with them.I was expecting it to be harder than it was although I wasn`t expecting to have to be so aware of other drivers and how my driving affected them.Kev`s teaching methods were very good.His instructions were easy to follow and he was very calming if and when things went wrong.I would certainly recommend him due to how well different techniques were taught and explained.
Lewis Evans
I chose Achieve as they had been recommended by some of my friends.Before I started my lessons I was unsure of what to expect but Kev`s teaching methods were very useful and easy to understand.I would definitely recommend him as he was a great teaching Instructor and always gave me support when I needed it.

I chose Achieve as I won a few free driving lessons in a competition that Kevin had entered a prize for.I found that there was a lot more information to take on board than I originally thought although I found the manoeuvres easier to learn.Kevins teaching methods were excellentpatient and he taught at a good pace.I would definitely recommend Achieve unless someone wanted more than one lesson a week as they are very busyprobably for the same reasons above.Kevin is an awesome Instructor.
