Alan has been an incredible instructor, after trying to learn with multiple instructors and getting no where i really thought it was pointless. However, Alan was patient, kind, calm and thoughtful and really took his time with me. He listened when I struggled and we worked as a team to make it happen! I am truly grateful for all the time, effort and patience he has show me and finally after 5 long years and 2 failed tests, I can truly say, Alan you are the best! ❤️ I would highly highly recommend skills4wheels! ♥️

Noz is an amazing instructor and I couldn’t recommend her enough or think of anyone I’d rather have teaching me! As a person with autism and ADHD I was initially hesitant about driving and feeling comfortable while driving but Noz has really helped me build my confidence and now I feel like a more competent driver and just passed my test first time today! I would definitely recommend Noz and skills4wheels to anyone. Noz is not only the best and most patient teacher but also such a wonderful person and is very supportive, kind and fun to be with 👍👍 She has really helped me feel like a more confident driver as well. For example she kindly offered me a last minute lesson the day before my test as a few days prior I was really struggling with my confidence but this helped me massively to bring my confidence back up. Thank you so much Noz for everything and making learning to drive such a great experience.

Nozomi has just taught our neurodivergent daughter to drive an electric car and pass her test this morning. Noz showed such fantastic patience and understanding, along with excellent communication skills (with lovely humour 👍👍) to help D grasp the driving skills needed to pass her test. There are very many catch phrases from Noz that we will use to ensure D remains a safe and considerate driver moving forwards! I can’t recommend Skills4Wheels and Noz highly enough. The lesson bundles are helpful in bringing the cost down and their pricing is on a par with others but the communication with me (the parent) as well as with D has been excellent. She definitely helped navigate some pinch points when we were helping her practice b”and when tensions ran high. Noz to D “remember, you pay me to be in the car with you, your Mum isn’t paid and doesn’t have my brake pedals!”

James has been a fantastic instructor throughout the whole process. He put me at ease from the start, right through to when I was dealing with some pre-test wobbles. James has instilled confidence in my capabilities that I did not have prior to driving, and I could not be more grateful for his support. I assumed learning to drive would be an anxiety-inducing process, but because of James, I thoroughly enjoyed learning and always looked forward to our lessons. A massive thank you to Skills4Wheels and I could not recommend enough!

James is an exceptional driving instructor. I started off being a very nervous driver and have ended up with a first-time pass because of how much my confidence and skills have grown. His instructions are calm and clear and the lessons have always been tailored towards my style of learning which helped me progress quickly. I can’t thank him enough for all his help!

I can’t recommend Skills 4 wheels enough! Alan was incredibly patients and supportive throughout my lessons made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and I passed first time! Thanks to Alans guidance and expertise, I feel much more confident and prepared on the road. If you’re looking for a great driving instructor who genuinely cares about their students and wants to see them succeed, I would definitely recommend them!

Good questions are welcome

Before you get started

How many automatic driving lessons will I need?

Every learner is different. Your instructor will assess your current experience and build a realistic plan around your progress rather than a fixed number.

Can I request a female driving instructor?

Yes. Ask for Nozomi when you enquire and we’ll confirm her current availability.

Are automatic lessons suitable for nervous learners?

Yes. Removing clutch and gear changes often gives learners more space to focus on the road, decision-making and confidence.

Can I use the tuition car for my driving test?

This depends on readiness, availability and your instructor’s agreement. We’ll discuss test planning clearly as your skills develop.
