I had Scott as my instructor and passed first time with 3 minors. I partially learned with a few instructors from other companies in Eastbourne & Brighton over the years but Scott was the best. He really made sure I was driving correctly and helped get rid of my bad habits.
The lessons had a clear structure and were focused on my individual weaknesses and common areas of failure as my test got closer. He knew I was practicing between our lessons and was happy to suggest specific things I should work on, which helped accelerate my progress and increase my confidence on the road.
Great instructor

I have been learning with Start N Drive since I turned 17 and have been quite an anxious driver but Scott has been very patient and reassuring! I passed with only 4 minors! I would recommend Start N Drive to anyone looking!
