I think Alex has taught me very well over the last year and a half. He was able to make time for lessons through different changes in my personal life and he made it flexible to work around. I learnt to drive quite quickly, beginning with the basics, and gradually developing into trickier things. The LDC workbook provided allowed me to revise certain things for my test and helped me in lessons.

First time pass!
Alex was a really patient and informative instructor. I found the LDC structure of establishing goals at the start of every lesson gave each session a focus and cemented my confidence in my driving abilities. Alex was always really positive and encouraging, always explaining what had happened in each notable driving situation. I found the LDC workbook was comprehensive and was helpful to look at between driving lessons, or whenever I was unsure about something. I was really happy that I did the semi-intensive course and how quickly I made progress on it. Thanks to Alex and the LD system, I was able to pass my driving test first time.

I found the he helped me to build confidence as we progressed with our lessons and he gave good instructions.

Tahlea B
First time pass!
Alex Dawes is an experienced instructor. He allowed me to learn in the best and most efficient way that worked for me. He always made sure I felt comfortable with my learning and he never pushed me to exceed anything if I didn't feel 100% with it. If I was having trouble completing a task I never felt ashamed to ask for help, he always helped me and encouraged me to try on my own to help my learning. Alex provided multiple apps for me to track my lessons and to help me with resources to pass my theory test. I recommend Alex to any new drivers.

Alex was always calm
Alex was really helpful when I was unsure about things, or if I ever had any questions. He was also very good at reminding me of anything that I had ever forgotten. Alex was always calm whenever I made any mistakes.

Ben W
Pass in Buxton
I found Alex to be a very patient instructor who was very articulate when it came to rectifying any errors that occurred during lessons. I really liked that prior to starting or when we stopped to discuss anything in more detail, Alex used Google Street View to further help my understanding of a situation and he clearly understood my preferred learning style. I thought the way Alex conducted mock driving tests was thorough and it gave me an invaluable insight as to what I could expect. Above all though, Alex was very understanding of any personal situations and always put me first.

Grace C
Pass in Macclesfield
I would like LDC to know that Alex is a fantastic instructor! After having done plenty of driving before, he still broke old habits and drilled a lot of what I found difficult into my driving. From day one, he put me at ease in the car so it was super easy to communicate if something good or bad, or if something went wrong. Overall - it has been a pleasure to have Alex as an instructor, thank you, thank you, thank you!
