I left getting my driving license to later in life because I was never really interested in learning, but having to get to work with a little girl, I had to learn out of necessity. Because I wasn't looking forward to it, I wanted to get it over and done with as soon as possible and originally wanted to apply for the one week pass course. However, when I met Nick he discouraged me from doing so and suggested the semi-intensive course instead and stretching that over the time it would take me to get a test date. I am so glad I listened to him! I actually struggled with 3hr lessons, so the intensive course would have been a nightmare for me.
When I started I didn't have much confidence as I had no driving experience at all, but Nick was very supportive and very encouraging which didn't make me dread my lessons as much as I thought I would. He even got to rewarding me with pear drops for achieving manouvres or finally overcoming something I had been struggling with for a while and I don't think I'll ever be able to eat a pear drop again without thinking of those days :)
No matter how frustrated I got with myself he never gave up on me or made me feel like he didn't believe I could do it, not even after I failed the test 3 times (due to nerves and difficult examiners)! Finally I passed the 4th time round and I think Nick was happier than I was. He is not just an instructor, he takes all his students to heart and genuinely cares whether they pass or fail. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Nick!

I had a 30 hour course but within ten hours nick had me ready to take my test he is a fantastic instructor and I would recommend him to anyone the LDC course work was also extreamly helpful. LDC and Nick are a great team to learn with. Thankyou Nick.

I have cleared my practical test in first attempt, having six minor errors and after 13 hours of driving lessons. This was something beyond my capabilities. My first thanks goes to my God and of course second to Mr. Nicholas Haxton. The best part in his training was 90% of the time we spent was practical driving and 10% in theory. So here I can assure you that he is not one of the instructors who are money minded and their whole aim is how to stretch the course. His instructions were very clear, straight forward and easy to comprehend. Nick please accept my honest thanks specially for the final day. I was nervous but you handled everything very nicely, calmly and intelligently. We covered the whole course very briefly in just 45 minutes before the test and then relaxed for next 15 minutes. In those 15 mins Nick boosted me and made me so confident that I can do it. I would like to mention that more than myself it was Nick who was confident that I am going to do it.
So friends please don’t think, go ahead and try Nick. It’s worth every penny. Satwant

Thank you for all the hard work that you put in by putting across all the elements of perfect driving. I have to say that you and your teaching methods are a credit to LDC. Thank you once again for you excellent tuition. It was a pleasure for me to be your first no pointer.

I was looking for a new instructor after a bad experience and a failed test elsewhere, and was put in touch with Nick through the LDC website.
I was immediately impressed with his calm approach to teaching, at once ensuring that my many errors were corrected whilst also making me feel confident and comfortable at the wheel. Nick clearly has a wealth of experience to call upon and knows exactly what is going through your head whenever you make a mistake.
His guidance and reassurance played a very big part in preparing me for my test and ultimately convincing me that I could pass (which I did, of course). I would not hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone, regardless of whether they are a new student or someone looking for a different instructor. Cheers Nick.

I was very nervous about starting to drive but Nick had faith in me and after 13 weeks of driving I passed my test first time, and it has given me a lot of self confidence, the DVDs from LDC helped me no end, Nick is a wonderful instructor who is calm and patient and makes you believe in yourself. I can now look forward to years of driving all thanks to Nick, I would recommend him to anyone.

After having lessons here and there for over a year and not enjoying them I realised I needed to find something more intense. I found the Midway Pass Course; 20 hours of driving lessons, the driving test and the LD DVD/Workbook. I was then looking for a patient, calm and professional driving instructor which I found with Nick Haxton. He made sure I was able to face the diverse range of scenarios that can occur while driving. Within 20 hours over a week, he took me from not wanting to drive and lacking confidence to passing my test 1st time with only 4 minor points and happily driving everyday since! I'm now planning on taking a few motorway lessons to set me up for life. Thank you Nick!

Having failed my test 8 years ago and having never got back behind the wheel since, I was very nervous and thought I couldn't do it. Though through doing the 30 hour intensive course, Nick was not only able to give me the skills I needed to pass my test but also helped me to get my confidence back.
The LDC course was easy to follow and having the DVD and Student Workbook in advance meant I was able to prepare before the lessons so I was able to make the most of my time on the road.
I would highly recommend Nick and LDC.

My partner Claire was with another driving school that made her very nervous in the car and the instructor seemed very unprofessional, since Nick Haxton has been giving Claire lessons she has become more confident and looks forward to having lessons, and has improved enough that after 15 lessons with Nick she is being put in for her test. So I would just like to say thank you for your time and assistance.
