How would you like to learn to drive and get your driving licence quickly and safely with Mikes driving school. You can do this in a 1 week intensive or semi-intensive driving course, or by just taking weekly lessons. Let me explain why this is the right driving school for you.

As a DVSA driving instructor for over 17 years based in Falmouth Cornwall I have the a wealth of experience and knowledge with the enthusiasm, passion and I enjoy the whole process of taking my pupils right through to succesfuly passing their driving test, my aim is to make your driving lessons fun.You will be learning to drive with a fully qualified driving instructor with a high first time pass rate.
First time pass, wouldn't of been able to have achieved without Mikes help and patience. Started of as a very anxious driver, now feel completely comfortable and confident on the roads. Definitely recommend Mike, thank you! Mike always supported me and was never anything but positive about my driving and how to improve it.
In the practical test, you will be asked two 'show and tell' questions about safety and maintenance checks on your car. Getting one or both of them wrong will count as a driving fault in your test. Knowing that someone is watching and judging your every move can be pretty bizarre as well. Before you do any driving you'll be asked to perform an eyesight check and then be asked some vehicle safety questions.
Tell me where you'd find the information for the recommended tyre pressures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked. Manufacturer's guide, use a reliable pressure gauge, check and adjust pressures when tyres are cold, don't forget spare tyre, remember to refit valve caps. Tell me how you make sure your head restraint is correctly adjusted so it provides the best protection in the event of a crash.
Exams are nerve-wracking at the best of times, and driving tests can feel particularly harrowing. Knowing that someone is watching and judging your every move can be pretty bizarre as well. It would be enough to make most people feel self-conscious if they were just carrying out an everyday task such as opening their post, let alone demonstrating a complex skill like driving.

Mike is undoubtedly the best teacher I have ever had. He approaches every lesson with your needs in mind and will stick with you every step of the way, no matter what difficulties you encounter. Mike is an exemplary educator who always demonstrates boundless patience at any stage of your learning, while also showing an oh-so-rare understanding of the true value of positive reinforcement. Learning to drive with Mike will develop you into a safer, more confident driver not just on your test but every time you get behind the wheel.

Mike is the best driving instructor. I was an extremely nervous driver to start - if you need a driving instructor that can boost your confidence on positive driving experiences he is definitely the person to go with. His lessons include all that is on test, so when it comes to the test there are no surprises - and you feel confident that you can do them on your own when you pass. I would recommend him to anyone - he is calm, patient and extremely professional. If you are debating on who to go with - go with Mike 100%!

Mike is a top-class driving instructor who never fails to impress. He makes lessons fun, educational and is continuously patient with you. Never once did I feel undeserving to drive during his classes, and, as a result, my confidence is high and now, very much, enjoy driving. Thank you, Mike, for everything you have done, and I will forever treasure our lessons together. All the best!
