Richard is very professional and calm. He explains any mistakes in a calm manner but also highlights what you do right. He is flexible with the times and tries his best to accommodate the needs. Thanks for all the guidance!

I enjoyed every lesson with Richard and what made it better was that he was very patient with my driving and everytime I had a lesson I kept learning new things which made it even better, would definitely recommend for any new drivers.

I had my lessons from Richard after my friend recommended him. He is so polite, patient and down to earth man. I passed mine first time itself and his way of explaining really matters a lot. I am so pleased and especially during the Covid times, he keeps his car neat and with all precautions followed. I will definitely recommend him for all new as well as experienced drivers. Great value for money. 100% trust his instincts and feedback. Thank you very much Richard.

Richard is a fantastic instructor and the best I experienced (I've had a few). Very tentative and thorough with explanations. Massively improved my driving skills including mastering maneuvers. I passed my test on my second attempt but first with Richard and I would highly recommend. Cannot speak highly enough!

Richard is a great instructor. He's friendly, punctual and an excellent explainer. I was an absolute beginner when I started my lessons with him and by the end of it he taught me how to drive safely and confidently. I highly recommend him. Thanks Richard!

I recently passed my driving test with the help of 10 to 2 driving instructor Glen Nield. As a very nervous learner driver the support and patience shown by my instructor was greatly appreciated, 10 to 2 driving are very knowledgeable and also very accommodating as working shifts I often could find it hard to find a time to fit in lessons but Glen would always make sure I got one a week without fail.

The team are very supporting and friendly which helped a lot to boost my confidence and enable me to pass my driving and theory test. I would highly recommend 10 to 2 driving to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive as you wont be disappointed I cant thank them enough for helping me pass.

Richard's been a great driving instructor. I passed my test today first time with only 1 minor. He has a great temperment and is very patient. I set myself a goal to pass quickly and I trusted Richards instinct after a few weeks of driving to book my test as he said I was ready. If you are willing to put in the hard work then Richard will match that for you. All round a top bloke who clearly has a passion for making sure his students pass. I would definatelty reccomend him to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive.

Richard has been a great driving instructor. I was quite a nervous driver and he put me at ease straight away and is so friendly. He helped get me ready for my test and pass first time, but also taught me to be the safest and best driver I can be. Areas I struggled with, he calmly and patiently went over them with me until I had them mastered. I enjoyed every lesson with Richard and would highly recommend him! Thanks Richard!

Richard has been a brilliant instructor from the beginning, he is very calm and patient in his nature which made me much less stressed! Generally I never felt nervous before a lesson and this was down to him as an instructor. I passed first time with both theory and practical. I never felt like he was making me take more lessons than needed and encouraged me to go in for my test when I was ready. Definitely couldn't recommend more!

Richard has been the most patient instructor. I used to be very nervous but he made me feel at ease in a short time. He is very helpful and makes sure you have plenty of practice, not loosing his cool and always finding the most suitable way to teach every individual task till you master it. Thanks to him I passed the first time as well. I can only recommend.

Fantastic instructor! Really nice, patient and knowledgeable. I had some intensive lessons and then moved to having one lesson a week and Richard couldn't have been more helpful and flexible. He's really helped me not only pass my test but become a safe driver too. I can't recommend him highly enough! Thanks Richard!

What a fantastic instructor, I can't rate him highly enough. He was fab, so patient, calm, friendly and understanding. His sessions were great and the debrief at the end always helped me reflect on my driving by giving me great feedback. I did some intensive lessons and some weekly and he was always on time and ready to go. He never pressured me to have more lessons than needed and got the most out of all the sessions we had. He was always a friendly face. Thank you!

Richard was amazing! I was so anxious learning to drive but from the moment I got in the car he made me feel at ease and brought out the best in me, he took time to explain things before we put them into practice! Today I passed my test and I couldnt have done it without his profession and patient approach to teaching! Thanks again Richard your a star!

I started learning to drive in June, 7 months later I passed first time. Richard is a fantastic, patient, friendly instructor who helped me with not only my nerves but also when I felt like giving up. I wouldn't have passed my test without him. Fantastic, reliable driving school. Thank you Richard

I started my driving lessons with Richard in July and passed my test in October! He also took me out in my own car when I passed to get used to it, which was a great help. Richard is a calm and patient instructor who I would recommend to anybody.

A very calm and even tempered driving instructor he was perfect for as I was nervous and easily spooked. He's method of instruction is very clear and not aggressive, a lovely man who communicates very well and is very effective teacher. I would recommend to anyone especially first time learners or people who are distressed by aggressive teaching methods.

Richard is patient and fun, he adapts his lessons to suit your needs and learning abilities. He listens to your views and what your worries and concerns are and alleviates them with ease. Learning to drive with 10 to 2 has been a joy, I'm going to miss my weekly lessons.
