Passed 1st time with no driver faults
Nick was an amazing driving instructor. He really took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses and tailored his lessons to help me improve. He was always patient and positive, even when I made mistakes. I especially appreciated how he broke down complex manoeuvres into simple steps, making it easier to learn and remember. Thanks to his expert guidance, I passed my driving test first time with no driver faults. I couldn't have done it without him!

Passes 1st time
Even though I had driving experience and held a license in the USA, learning to drive in the U.K. was a challenge because of the difference in driving regulations especially at roundabouts and driving on the left. Nick was instrumental in passing my test on the first try. Without his exact tips, thorough instructions and calm demeanour I don’t think I would have passed on the first try. I would recommend anyone hire Nick if you want to pass the test and become a confident driver.

Passes 1st time
My daughter has just passed her driving test on her first attempt after the excellent tuition she received from Nick Sheppard. Nick was extremely thorough in his approach and in his explanations, and he went over and above in supporting us through the whole process of preparing my daughter for her test. My daughter commented frequently on how patient and kind he was during lessons. Nick was always well-prepared and the lessons were extremely well structured, giving my daughter a comprehensive understanding of driving. I believe she is well prepared to now drive independently. I highly recommend Nick’s driving instruction without reservation.

Truly exceptional
My experience with Nick Sheppard was truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking driving instruction. Under his guidance, we followed the structured LDC curriculum, which proved immensely valuable in tracking my progress. Lesson time was spent productively with targeted practice aligned to specific goals. Nick consistently offered clear feedback and advice, patiently explaining concepts whenever I needed further clarification. Despite having some prior driving experience, it had been years since I last drove. Nick took us back to basics in the initial lessons, and it really helped me to rebuild my confidence. He always had such a positive and encouraging attitude, creating a fun and safe space for learning. It was clear that Nick genuinely cared about not just helping me pass but also teaching me how to be safe and enjoy driving. He was extremely professional, always kept the car in excellent condition, and was very responsive and flexible when it came to organising lessons, which I especially appreciated when approaching test day. I can’t thank him enough for all his kindness and support, and I wish him all the best in the rest of his driving instructor career!
