Tony is a lovely, patient man, perfect for teaching people of all ages to drive. I have friends who have had Tony teach their sons and daughters to drive with great results and I will definitely be using him next year when my young person reaches 17.
Tony is passionate about teaching drivers to not only be safe but also to be considerate and patient and I highly recommend him.
