"Alec Hatwood is a very good Driving Instructor. He took me through everything stage by stage and broke it down for me in ways that I would understand and focus on. He has a great personality and very easy to talk to if there is something you don't fully understand. I found Alec very knowledgeable of everything to with the Highway Code. With his guidance I passed my test first time with only 2 minor points"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons with Alec. He is a patient driving instructor and a great person to get on with. As well as teaching everything you need to know about the driving test itself, he often goes beyond that and give useful hints and tips about driving when you're on your own. I would definitely recommend Alec as a driving instructor in Loughborough."

"Alec is an excellent driving instructor he teaches you to drive above the required level to pass your test. He taught me, my sister and her boyfriend to drive and we all passed the test first time which is testament to his top quality teaching. I would recommend Alec to all people wanting to learn to drive around the Loughborough area."

"When I called BSM I was a driving-phobic 39 year old who had never driven before! BSM suggested Alec, and 10 months later I took my first driving test and passed the test first time. Alec is a very patient instructor and teaches you to drive in a way that makes good driving habits become things you do without thinking about them. After I passed I also did a motorway driving lesson with Alec which takes the fear away about driving on a motorway for the first time.
Being able to drive my children around has altered our lives for the better."

"When I decided to pick up driving, I was a little nervous about the whole thing but Alec made the task a lot easier. He is a very calm and collected driving instructor and always takes time to make sure you feel comfortable and fully understand what you are doing and why. The key thing that worked well with me was his organised and methodical approach to learning to drive which made the process clear and easy to digest. This was teamed with regular questioning and a (Track Record) book to keep note of progress and areas to concentrate on so that each driving lesson was tailored towards improvement in the right areas. Finally Alec does his best to ensure you cover all possible routes and obstacles around Loughborough that may face you in your driving test and thus helps you to be as prepared as possible. Overall I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking to learn to drive around Loughborough. He is approachable, well versed in driving and overall he brings success!"

"After quite a few failed attempts and two years of lessons, I switched to Alec. He worked on correcting my technique, restoring my confidence and getting rid of my tendency to panic under stressful situations. He's an absolute perfectionist, 100% dedicated and passionate about his job, he will go out of the way to make sure you pass the driving test. Not only did he prepare me for the driving test itself, but he also taught me valuable skills to use after passing the driving test. The week of my actual test it snowed heavily, but Alec still offered to take me out to teach me how to drive in such conditions in the future. I'm pleased to say that after switching to Alec I passed the driving test first time and am now a confident (and safe) driver."

"I learnt to drive with Alec in March 2006, and had weekly lessons with him until July 2007- I was a slow learner! But Alec was incredibly patient with me, even when I made some horrendous mistakes!
Alec is incredibly calm and relaxed when teaching you to drive, but also friendly and approachable, and I would look forward to my lessons with him. Due to his mechanic background, he also has an excellent knowledge of cars, which he is enthusiastic to share, and thus I know a lot more about vehicles than my friends- I am the one they ring up to ask car questions, and I have never yet been in a situation I am unsure how to deal with. He has also continued to make his expertise available to me since I passed my driving test, and I feel I can always drop him an email if I need any advice on any car-related matters.
Since passing my driving test 3 years ago, I have had to make no claims on my insurance, have had no accidents (touch wood!) and many of my passengers often remark on my driving, saying how safe and relaxed they feel in my car- and this is down to Alec.
In short, Alec is an excellent driving instructor, and after my experience with him, I would have no hesitation in highly recommending him as a driving instructor to others in the Loughborough area."

I am glad I had Alec to teach me to drive. He taught me so well that I passed first time. Never once did I dread a lesson. He is a perfectionist so I was confident when he put me in for my test as he wouldn't have done so if he thought I wasn't capable. He has good teaching methods, stays calm, is patient and friendly driving instructor.
When conversations about driving instructors come up I say... (Mine was the best I passed first time)"

Before starting anything new, Alec would always explain everything and use easy to follow diagrams so I was always well prepared. I'm really happy with the quality of the teaching Alec provided and feel that it's made me a safe confident driver."
