Testimonials

Ted Bennet -

Our son, Ted, has just come back from his first solo drive after passing his test. An everyday occurrence, you might think, but Ted has Asperger's (a form of Autism) and it was never a given that learning to drive would be something that he could do. It's been a long road - made longer by periods away at university and, like many in recent years, the enforced break due to multiple Covid lockdowns. Throughout that time, Stuart has been a consistent supporter of Ted's journey, providing great guidance tailored to Ted's needs and always positive and encouraging, even through the dips when it felt as if things could be going backwards. Stu's honest, direct style and unflappability earned him Ted's confidence and trust from an early stage and I think Ted was as pleased to pass - at the first attempt! - for Stuart's sake as for himself! Stu's patience and willingness to invest in Ted has paid off handsomely and opened up a whole new world of independence for him. We simply can't thank him enough.

Jane Shaw -

Place the year 2014 , myself age forty four, little freedom or independence, with a growing family to cater for, I pondered with the idea maybe I wasn't too old to learn a new skill, learn to "Drive". At the time I was suffering with some personal issues with my mental health, which just added to my lack of self confidence, in my ability to achieve my goal. Although determination was on my side! so I decided to contact "Brighty Driving Tuition" after being recommended by a trusted friend. From the onset, making contact with Stuart by telephone I instantly got the feeling that the service on offer was professional, friendly & informative. My progression was monitored realistically & the graduation of my learning did take time. An investment made between me the pupil and Stuart, your patience expertise & understanding was evident at each & every lesson as my Driving Instructor. Especially with the barriers I often felt were against me. My confidence began to grow & my goal was beginning to look closer to reality, as each week unfolded I felt more excited than nervous! Now in 2021 I have been enjoying driving for 5 years, one of my greatest achievements. Learning to drive really is just the tip of the iceberg it has opened so many doors for me & my family. None of it would have been possible without you Stuart ! You made it tangible for me. To this day I am eternally grateful, at the time when I had little belief in myself, you had an incredible ability to always believe in me & you always showed integrity in your approach, I urge anybody choosing to learn this life long skill to choose well, choose "Brighty Driving Tuition".

Stuart taught my son to drive and he passed first time after only a handful of lessons! Stuart was calm, very encouraging but constructive at the same time. We would thoroughly recommend him.

Ruby Oldman - 

Stu couldn't of been a better instructor for me personally. He made the lessons fun and constructive - he built my confidence and without him I wouldn't have been able to pass first time without any minors. He was patient and gave great pointers for improvement. I couldn't recommend anyone better! Thank you a million times over.

Stuart is a great instructor, he helped me pick up new skills and techniques that I still use today. Learning to drive with Brighty helped me gain confidence in my driving and apply new skills that helped me pass first time.
