I highly recomemed Steve. He is an ADI with a passion. He is very professional, patient and understanding as I was a mature and very nervous learner. I have just passed my driving test with Steve's help. Thank you so much.

Very patient, friendly and informative instructor. Not only does he teach you to pass the test, but makes you aware to situations you may encounter and handle them once you have passed. He has made me very road aware and safe. Very highly recommend!

Steve is such a brilliant instructor! He taught my husband years ago so I was comfortable for him to be my instructor. He is very calm and patient. I'm such a stressful woman and worry a lot but he was very patient with me even at times when I'm getting frustrated and was making mistakes. He's so lovely, nice and really cares.

I have just passed 1st time thanks to Steve. I was recommended him through my older brother, who also passed 1st time. He made me feel at ease and is very knowledgeable and easily explained how everything works. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to learn to drive. I will miss our lessons together!

Steve is a fantastic instructor. Very clear and calm even at times when I was stressing out myself. I would of pushed most instructors into never coming back for another lesson but Steve stuck with me and with his knowledge and instruction gave me the confidence and ability to pass 1st time. I shopped around a bit before booking in with Steve and other instructors made things feel rushed and stressed even before having a lesson with them, but with Steve right from the first phone call it was calm and plain sailing. He genuinely cares and you're not just money to him and that makes a huge difference. Thankyou for everything Steve you've been brilliant

I'd rate 6/5 if I could, Steve is a wonderful instructor and all around great bloke. Steve is great and providing clear, calm instruction and never once made me feel nervous. Thanks to Steve and his Instruction I managed to pass my test with 0 minors! I could waffle on for hours about how brilliant Steve is at his job but I doubt this box is long enough so I'll leave it at this: If A2B Driver Training operates within where you live / can get to you'd be barking mad to go with anyone else.

I'd genuinely and wholeheartedly recommend Steve to ANYONE capable of operating a steering wheel and pedals. And as Steve will probably read this at some point: Cheers Steve! Could not have done it without you, you're one hell of a top bloke!

Steve is one of the most patient, calming driving instructors, and he actually cares. He gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to pass my test first time. I recommend him so much so that my boyfriend will be taking lessons with him, his brother has had lessons with him and I will suggest Steve to my brother also. If you don't have Steve as your instructor you're being daft!
