Gordon was a fantastic instructor. He was always calm clear and genuinely supportive. His teaching style made it easy to get confident in driving, and he always tailored lessons to suit what I needed to learn. The LDC system was a great complement to the practical lessons. The workbook helped me track progress and stay focused, and the videos were useful for visualising trick manoeuvres before trying them out. Overall I had a great experience learning to drive with Gordon and would recommend him to anyone

Gordon is a fantastic driving instructor and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive. I was extremely nervous & Gordon's calm patient & positive teaching style made driving an enjoyable experience. I went from being terrified to looking forward to each lesson. I found the LDC system was a great way to learn. The workbook in particular was a fantastic way to track my progress and gave me a great resource to go back and check if I was ever unsure of something. Thanks so much Gordon

Gordon was a brilliant instructor. Having had several lessons in Italy before moving to the uk, I was wary of being on the road. Gordon made this very easy, and within a couple of lessons I was confident enough to be driving as well as having great conversations! Gordon was very easy going and his teaching methods are spot on so much so he even helped my partner pass her test!! I will remember my lessons with Gordon with fondness, and I’m very grateful for everything he’s taught me. I now look forward to renting a car when I’m on holiday.

Gordon was an amazing driving instructor. He was probably the most patient man I’ve ever met (and that’s not just because he also successfully taught my partner to drive). I will always remember our drives together very fondly, and I credit him with making me a confident and happy driver for the rest of my life. In short Gordon is the best instructor I’ve ever had and notably my only one! Nobody could ever beat him.

Sruti
Gordon is an amazing driving instructor! Was very calm and patient and explained things very clearly. He really boosted my confidence in driving, making sure I drive safely and understand the rules and regulations. Great communication as well about the dates and times for lessons which I really appreciated. Gordon is very nice and would recommend him to everyone. The LDC theory preparations really helped me prepare for my theory test as they generated similar questions that were in the test. They were also clearly explained as well.

My instructor was really helpful and was an extremely reassuring teacher and explained things clearly. He listened to my feedback and planned our lessons around what I wanted to focus on. The LDC system that encourages students to write detailed reflections of and plans for their lessons was a very good one, and really helped me make the most of my classes. The workbook was very well designed and helped me learn between lessons. The videos were also very helpful to me.

Learning to drive having Gordon as my instructor was one of the best choices I made. From the first driving lesson I felt confident in his teaching and this allowed myself to become confident that I was understanding the learning process. Gordon has shown patience, calm and good teaching skills which led to my passing my driving test on the first try. The online learning system was very easy to use and had all the information I needed to help me become a good, considerate driver.

I reached out to Gordon from LDC in November and I was very lucky to get a spot quickly. I started my lessons with Gordon straight away. I just want to say he is the most patient and nicest person when it comes to teaching someone how to drive. His teaching methods were very easy to adapt to. He is definitely someone I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn how to drive.

Gordon was very calm and nice through all my lessons. He always made sure I got the most out of every lesson. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. I highly recommend Gordon.

Jinia
My instructor Gordon was amazing. I have gained a lot of confidence in driving and all credits go to Gordon. He is very patient and has motivated me to be a safe driver. He helped me improve my driving skills by taking mock tests and constantly giving me feedback to work on areas where I could do better. We covered all test routes and practised many times in various traffic conditions. I am very pleased with my LDC journey and am thankful to Gordon for his guidance, support and constant motivation.

Denzel
Gordon is an excellent instructor. He will ensure you are at the standard required for the driving test and will also teach you life long skills necessary to be a safe and confident driver.

Iain
Gordon was very patient, friendly and clear with his explanations. He did not over-explain or interfere unnecessarily when I was practicing, which worked well with my learning style. I had some nerves around the test, having attempted them some years ago, but Gordon did a great job building my confidence and getting me ready to pass. I have recommended him to several more people since I have passed.

Dale
Gordon went out of his way
Gordon was very patient and helped me to build up my confidence. The LDC workbook was helpful also. Gordon went out of his way to allocate timings. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks for all your help and getting me on the road. Five star service thanks for all your help.

Lewis
Down to earth guy
Gordon was very patient and explained everything thoroughly. Down to earth guy. The LDC system was good. It encourages you as the learner to decide what you learn and how fast you can learn. The LDC app and workbook were very useful to me in learning manoeuvres but also in passing my theory.

Oscar
Gordon was brilliant
Gordon was brilliant, really clear and calm with a good sense of humour. I’ve recommended him to a few friends already. I started with no driving experience at all and gained confidence quickly. 100% your man! I found the LDC workbook useful for revising what I’d done so far and tracking my progress, and the test prep materials were comprehensive without being overwhelming. Overall the experience felt very balanced between relying on Gordon, the materials provided, and my own efforts. I think it works really well.

Hannah
Gordon has been amazing
Gordon has been an amazing driving instructor. I am so thankful he was able to fit me in he really went the extra mile (pardon the pun) to accommodate me. Gordon has a great teaching style he is relaxed positive and has an great sense of humour too. He provided me with the LDC system workbook and online videos which were an extra help to me as a dyslexic learner. I am so pleased I passed my test first time and it’s 100% down to Gordon, thanks again

Gordon has endless patience
Huge thanks to Gordon for his endless patience and his excellent knack for explaining things. His calming influence made the whole learning experience enjoyable and far less stressful than it could’ve otherwise been. I found that watching videos alongside reading the LDC workbook worked well to deepen my understanding across a wide variety of topics.

Desislava
Gordon is one of the nicest people you could meet and he made me feel at ease from the first lesson. He is an excellent instructor, easy to talk to and he builds a really good relationship with you. We covered everything we could possible ever. He fitted lessons into my schedule and was always calm and patient. There was never any pressure. I highly recommend Gordon to anyone as he was a great instructor who made me feel confident whilst driving and really wanted me to succeed. Thank you Gordon for being the best instructor ever!

Allan Weston
Passed 1st time
Learning to drive with Gordon was excellent. He was great from day one and he made me feel relaxed & confident. The practical driving was so good, getting to pick which manoeuvres I would like more practice on or leave ones I didn’t want until the next lesson. The LDC workbook helped lots too as you can check your progress from your weekly lessons like areas for improvement or areas you have improved on. The workbook also helps with manoeuvres etc. There is also help with theory and videos if you need it. Gordon will make sure you are test ready before you sit your test. Passing first time with Gordon after just 25-30 hours was a huge blessing. Anyone needing to learn properly and pass here is your guy. Thanks again Gordon

Gordon was an excellent instructor who was very knowledgeable and a natural at teaching. His instructing and the LDC system gave me the ability and confidence to be test ready very quickly. The LDC workbook allowed me to track my progress and get the most out of my lessons by having a plan.

I am delighted with how confident I now feel
Having failed my last driving test 12 years ago I was quite nervous to start driving again but Gordon put me at ease and calmly guided me to a stage where I was ready to try the test again and I passed! I am delighted with how confident I now feel behind the wheel!

My experience with Gordon as my driving instructor has been outstanding. Gordons relaxed and proficient teaching style made lessons to drive safely a breeze. He was always there to answer my questions and ease any concerns I had, whether I was driving in different environments or preparing for the practical test. As the test approached, Gordon was incredibly accommodating and flexible, providing extra lessons that made a world of difference in my confidence and performance on test day. Thanks ever so much LDC and Gordon for helping me get on the roads.

Roderick Waddell

Gordon was great at making me aware of mistakes I’d make and able to stop making them after. He very quickly was able to get me to a point where I was test ready (getting 5 or less driving faults on mock tests). The lessons also felt very calm and well structured. The LDC workbook was useful to look over before my lessons and test and it helped me understand the show me tell me questions.

Josh Brown

Gordon has been a very patient and encouraging instructor. Learning to drive can be frustrating, but Gordon has a great skill for ensuring you learn from your mistakes and, as such, I always felt like I was progressing, even after difficult lessons. I passed on my first attempt, and I can’t thank Gordon enough for building my confidence behind the wheel.

Immediately made me feel comfortable
Gordon was a very likeable, competent instructor who, each week left me the freedom of choosing the areas of driving I wanted to work on. His teaching is very gentle and he immediately made me feel comfortable. The LDC workbook helped me prepare for the show me tell me questions. In general I am grateful to Gordon who made me feel confident enough to pass my practical test the first time round!

Christian Redfern
Passed 1st time
Gordon is a brilliant and empathetic instructor. As someone who had a negative outlook on my ability to learn to drive due to dropping it three years earlier, picking it up again and passing first time within a few months demonstrates how much I lucked out with finding a good instructor. Highly recommend!

Jacob Frost
Gordon was fantastic from start to finish. I had a bad experience with a driving instructor at 17 and didn't go back to driving lessons until 11 years later. Gordon had a calm and measured approach from the outset and learning with him improved my confidence and skills on the road very quickly. I can't thank him enough for his teaching methods and his patience throughout the journey. The LDC workbook and the online resources are also great. Leading up to the test, the workbook was a great resource to have at my disposal. Thank you Gordon and LDC for getting me my driving licence'.

Gordon is a good patient and calm instructor. After a few driving lessons I felt comfortable and when I was unsure of something Gordon took his time to explain it to me in great detail, which helped me to pass my test. The LDC app and workbook helped me to keep track of my driving progress and helped me prepare for my theory test.

Kelly McAndrew
Gordon put me at ease straight away, while also giving me the confidence to drive. I would highly recommend Gordon to anyone that feels like they haven’t got the skill to drive. Gordon has given me the freedom of being able to drive, which I’m very grateful for

Gordon was a very patient instructor. I had very little practice with a manual car and he was very knowledgable. I passed within 2 months. Highly recommended.

Rowan Nisbet

Gordon was an excellent instructor. Very patient and took his time. The LDC workbook was useful for documenting what had been done in lessons. The theory test preparation app was extremely useful as it had questions on the Highway Code and I don’t think I would have passed without it.

Signing up with Gordon was one of the best decisions I made to help me not only to be a better driver but to finally pass the UK driving test. Gordon was very patient, understanding and had a good sense of humour which made every session with him enjoyable. Gordon also helped my friend pass his driving test a few months ago. I’ll highly recommend him.

While doing my driving lessons Gordon made me feel very comfortable. He was very understanding with any mistakes I made. When teaching me how to do things he explained it in a clear and understanding way. Whenever I wrote something in the LDC workbook he listened to what I asked to do do and made sure I left feeling more confident with my driving. I am grateful to Gordon because when I passed my test he made sure I was confident with my driving and knew what I was doing. I would recommend Gordon as he is a great instructor and he makes you feel at ease while learning.

I couldn’t recommend Gordon enough. He was an amazing instructor, I was a nervous driver but after a couple of lessons with Gordon I felt very comfortable and calm driving. The LDC workbook was also very helpful in getting test ready with the show me tell me questions and all the information it provides. I honestly couldn’t be happier that I found Gordon through the LDC website and passed first time with his amazing help. Thank you
