Dave was such a calm, patient and great teacher. I never thought I'd reach the level of driving needed to pass my test but because of Dave I managed to pass first time today! Thank you so much for all your help! Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn how to drive. Dave is an excellent instructor and has helped me grow with my confidence and pass first time today, I would definitely recommend him.
Remember, for large vehicles you might need to give more space at junctions or hold back to allow them to turn first (even if you have the priority to go first).

From the first lesson with Dave I felt thoroughly at ease. Dave was very relaxed and pleasant, which helped greatly in reducing any stress. I passed my test with very few lessons, and this was down to the great instructor, and relaxed and enjoyable experience. Thanks to Dave at Glencor. Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) - Dramatically reduces the risk of skidding while braking, .
Changing to David was a complete relief. He can offer precise and well-explained answers to any query you may have. His tuition is well prepared and comprehensive, and he can provide good examples to help you understand any scenario. 2 lessons with him were better than 10 with my previous instructor!
I really enjoyed my lessons with Glencor. Dave taught in a clear and concise manner and always made me feel at ease to ask questions about anything I didn't understand. I would definitely recommend him to anybody wanting to learn to drive. To change or cancel a test without losing your test fee you must give the DVSA 3 clear working days notice.
What can I say; Dave was a godsend to me. Before I contacted Dave I was with another instructor but was getting nowhere. I knew from the start that Dave was a good instructor; he was very very patient with me and explained everything fully to me in simple terms. I have and would recommend Dave to anyone thinking of taking lessons.

No need to look any further. Davy will be the instructor for you. Whether you clip a kerb at 40 miles an hour at the beginning of your lessons (sorry!), or argue with him towards the end because you think you know better (I didn't and again, sorry!), Davy handles it all with an abundance of understanding and patience. His depth of knowledge is second to none! He adapted his teaching style to suit my needs and was completely flexible about working around my schedule. I guarantee that when your test time comes you will have all the tools, skills and confidence to pass first time. I did - and it was

Would just like to thank David for helping me get a first time pass today 29.10.21. I couldn’t of done it without him what an amazing instructor. Very patient and very calm demeanour. His teaching style allowed me to feel stress free while doing my lessons and he was very flexible when booking the lessons, especially on short notice aswell might I add, He also made sure there was plenty of room for my lessons the week before my test so I could get the slots I wanted.
Thanks again David

I was so nervous when it came to my first ever driving lesson, Dave made me feel at ease and he helped me through every step of the way, he was so calm and helpful. His patience helped me a lot too as my nerves got the better of me at times. I highly recommend dave to anyone as I passed my test first time on Friday 😊

Before I started my lessons, I was very anxious on the road with other drivers due to being a passenger in a crash and thought I would be a nightmare to teach. Right from the start Dave was always patient, calm and understanding. He would walk me through each point to improve and was very knowledgeable about the road and how to prepare for my test. I’m happy to say I passed my driving test first time and it wouldn’t have been possible without Dave as my instructor.
