Brian is the best driving instructor in the Clacton/Colchester area. He's a great driving instructor if you get anxious and explains manoeuvres simply, absolutely loved our lessons as we always had a giggle together. He knew what my goals were and helped me to achieve them as quickly as possible. Top class driving instructor 1000000/10 (ps sorry this is late! just realised I never did the review!!)

Many thanks, Brian, for the calm and relaxed instructions that helped me pass the test.I would highly recommend Drive Pass school for driving lessons and will definitely use Brian's help again for my daughter when she reaches the driving age. He is friendly, knowledgeable, patient and very encouraging. Makes you feel so relaxed and instructs in a non-judgemental and non-angsty manner. I tried myADL driving school before this and had to drop them due to their temper and attitude issues. Brian was recommended to me by a friend's friend and I found them to be fantastic. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to learn to drive - whether you are a beginner or someone who needs to practice a bit with someone knowledgeable.

I passed my driving test with Brian yesterday after my 2nd time doing it in Clacton. He has been very patient and helpful with me over the past months and has made me feel more confident on the road, especially with all the monouvers. Best instructor out of the 3 i have had over the years, could not recommend enough..Thanks again!

Passed first time with Brian! He is so patient and honest about how I was doing and what I needed to work on. I’ve done soo many lessons with my other instructor and have never felt confident on the road and wasted so much of my time but with Brian I feel much more confident. I have learnt so much and am grateful to have had such a great instructor!

I had been with other instructors in the past and none of them made me feel more at ease than Brian did. I was an incredibly anxious learner and he was so supportive and patient with me and helped me on my long journey (thanks in part to covid) to passing my test! (First time!) I cannot thank him enough. Highly recommend.

Passed my test first time yesterday with massive thanks to Brian, I always wanted a woman Instuctor but took a chance with a male and to be honest I’m glad I took the chance he was fantastic throughout. He is calm and patient with you and great at explaining anything you don’t understand. His genuinely helped me along the way and I’ll be forever great full to him. If your looking for a nice friendly Instuctor Brian is your man 😊

Brian helped me pass my test on the first time. He is a brilliant instructor, patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. He has a way to explain concepts in a clear manner and his teaching technique made me feel like I was progressing with every lesson. As added bonus, the car he uses to teach is lovely to drive! I would recommend Brian to anyone looking to become a confident driver.

By far the best instructor I've had! I've been trying to learn to drive for 5 years with various instructors and was worried I'd never drive as I'm so anxious, but I passed my test today with Brian and he has been amazing throughout. Really patient and calm, made me feel comfortable driving and in general a lovely person. I always looked forward to my lessons every week! Highly recommend to anyone especially if you have anxiety.

I passed my driving test today! I took lessons with another instructor but moved house and started taking lessons with Brian. This is the best thing that happened to me! I had very low confidence and wasn't driving very well due to my previous instructor not teaching me properly. However, after I began taking lessons from Brian, he was patient, kind, built my confidence up, always gave feedback during the lessons, he made me a better driver, encouraged and supported me all the way. I am very grateful and thankful for having him as my instructor (I wish I had him from the very beginning). I highly recommend him to everyone who would like to take lessons!

Previously I had spent quite a bit of money with another instructor, but for the life of me I could not pass my test! After each failure, the instructor told me ‘you’ve just got to get it together on the day’ shrugged and offered no constructive feedback. So after a (embarrassing) number of failures, and with my confidence crushed I went looking for someone new. I truly feel lucky and blessed to have found Brian as my driving instructor. Within my first lesson my issues were expertly diagnosed and addressed, after a very short space of time Brian got me through my test without hassle and restored my confidence. Not only is Brian an efficient professional, relaxed and calming instructor but he’s a really nice bloke too! 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thanks mate!
