Testemonial from Kat: I had lessons with Stefan for about nine months to regain my confidence after having not driven for 10 years. I also wanted to have lessons in English, my native language - Stefan's English is excellent. He was an incredible help building my confidence. Not only was he always very calm and patient, he always sought to understand how he could help me become a better driver and address any underlying nervousness about certain situations. He was never just ticking boxes. He was part driving instructor, part psychologist at times! Stefan never pushed me further than I was willing to go - he would always adapt lessons to how I was feeling each time in a way that neither under- nor overestimated my abilities. And he sets aside five minutes at the beginning and end of the lesson to discuss any issues or challenges, as well as emphasising when I'd dealt with situations well, to make sure I was learning and remembering. He also allowed me to do lessons in my (manual) car once I was ready. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Stefan to anyone. Not only was he an excellent instructor, he's a lovely, friendly person who puts you at ease very quickly. Thanks to Stefan I was able to drive from Switzerland to the UK for Christmas - thanks Stefan!
