Douglas WONG – Ealing, London (18th December 2019)

Very pleasant experience with my instructor (Darren). Very calm during the sessions, and clearly has a lot of experience from his clearly thought out lesson plans.

I had around 30hrs of lessons in total, averaging 2hours lessons once a week, with 1 month gap in between, took around 3 months from start to finish, passed first time.

The beginning was understanding how to control the car and getting comfortable driving in residential areas, then we moved on to main road where I learnt interaction with other cars and rules of the road (right of way, etc…), lastly in the last 15-18hrs it was more manoeuvre and exam focused.

The lessons I found was harder than the actual exam. It might have been due to the fact that Darren was targeting my weak spots as we go along. Darren was very good at analysing recurring bad habits and accurate in assessing whether I am ready for the exam.

Around the end, Darren was very honest and open to discuss whether I need more lessons before taking the exam, and helped me evaluate the cost with further lessons and the cost of the exam.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Darren as your instructor.
