I learned with Driving Skills Academy in Northampton and had manual lessons with Chris Barker. At the beginning, the thing I worried about most was everything had never driven before. What helped me most was explaining things clearly, providing extra support keeping me calm and helping me to understand my way of thinking. I improved most with confidence being able to learn and pass my test is a great achievement for me. In the end, I passed First time. I'd recommend Driving Skills Academy to nervous learners first time drivers anyone needing calm clear supportive teaching. Chris is great he helped my brother pass first time a few years ago, everyone I know who has learned with Chris has had an amazing experience & passed first time, keep up the great work Chris.

I took manual lessons in NortHampton with Tamas Adrian at Driving Skills Academy. When I started, I felt most nervous about roundabouts. What helped me most was that was calm and explained everything clearly. Also he was patient. The biggest improvement in my driving was independent driving and decision making. By the end, I felt firts time pass. I'd recommend Driving Skills Academy to for evry one who wants to take the final exam first try.
