I have recently had the pleasure of taking automatic driving lessons with Alec, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, Alec demonstrated an unparalleled level of patience and expertise, making every lesson both enjoyable and highly effective. His ability to tailor his teaching methods to address various challenges I faced was particularly impressive, ensuring a personalised learning journey that was instrumental in my development as a driver.
One of the highlights of my training was the mock test Alec did prior to my actual driving test. This was a first in my learning experience, as none of my previous instructors had incorporated such a practical and beneficial exercise. The mock test not only helped in alleviating my pre-test anxieties but also provided a clear insight into my strengths and areas needing further attention. This strategic approach further contributed to me passing the driving test on my first attempt with Alec.
Moreover, Alec’s accommodating nature stood out, especially as the test date approached. He went above and beyond to schedule additional lessons, ensuring I was fully prepared and confident. This level of dedication and support was invaluable and greatly appreciated.
For those contemplating the transition to automatic driving and seeking a seamless, supportive, and effective learning experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Alec. His expertise, coupled with his patient and adaptive teaching style, makes him an ideal instructor for anyone aiming to achieve their driving ambitions stress-free.

Alec is an excellent driving instructor, at the beginning I had no confidence to being able to pass my driving test first time in 5 months! He is very calm and knowledgeable, will work keenly on any areas you feel you need to and is always happy to take on any feedback and negative worries you may have he will work to turn them into a positive. I would highly recommend Alec to any new driver wanting to learn!

Alec was a great driving instructor. He made sure I was well prepared for my test and made sure to take me onto dual carriageways and taught me driving essentials what I would not be tested on but still needed to know. He was reliable and didn’t cancel one lesson and fit extra lessons in for me when he could. With Alec’s help I was able to pass my driving test first time with only two driver faults. Thanks Alec

Alec took me as a student, and I started being a very nervous student. I had been with various drivers before Alec and was pretty much ready to give up after so many lessons & instructors… however, I passed my test today after 8 years of trying after only a few months driving with Alec! His patience, courage, and way of teaching is the reason I passed today, and I would have never of done it without him! I would recommend Alec to anyone that is wanting to drive, but definitely if you are a nervous student that needs a new way of teaching.

“Brilliant driving lessons, definitely a good teacher. I was very nervous at first but definitely helped me build my confidence in driving, never lost his temper and was a patient instructor. Passed my driving test fairly quickly with only 4 minors after 14 lessons. Ever since never struggled with difficult manoeuvres and I felt that his lessons weren’t just preparing me for the test but preparing me for driving on my own. Really worth booking driving lessons with him. Won’t regret it.“

“Alec is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable driving instructor. He makes sure to take you through each new topic at a pace that suits your learning and teaches in a way that eliminates any potential bad habits a driver could have. He is very patient and always explains things in a way that simplifies it for the learner using his impeccable knowledge of the highway code. With Alec I managed to pass my test first time with only 2 minors.”

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.

Chris, Loughborough. *****
“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.”
Naomi, Quorn. *****
“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 to quality teaching. I would recommend Alec to all people wanting to learn to drive around the Loughborough area.”
Alison, near Loughborough. *****
“When I called Alec I was a driving-phobic 39 year old who had never driven before! 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.”
Trisha, Loughborough. *****
“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 notes 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!”
Mary, Loughborough University. *****
“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.”
Liz, Thurcaston. *****
“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.”
Coral, near Loughborough. *****
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)”
Sarah, Shepshed. *****
“Alec is an excellent driving instructor. He is a very patient teacher which always helps when learning to drive. 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.”

“Alec is the most fantastic driving instructor in Loughborough and should take credit for helping me pass on my first driving test. He has enabled me to become a confident and safe driver and I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive in Loughborough.”
