I would absolutely recommend Stuart to anybody thinking of becoming a driving instructor, he has been there from the word go, helped me so much through every stage of my journey to become a fully qualified ADI.

The professionalism from Stuart is at the highest level, the support is there day and night, always a phone call away. The knowledge Stuart has is incredible and the effort he put in to pass the information across to me was brilliant.

I would like to add that I have just passed my part 3 exam with a grade A and it’s all down to this man, wouldn’t have done it without him I don’t think.

Stuart is one of the very best in the driving industry 👍🏻

I couldn’t recommend Stuart enough. Coming from a military background and looking for a new career, I thought my years of teaching soldiers in the Army had given me a strong foundation — but wow, was I wrong. Stuart is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, and the way he explains things and shares his ideas completely changed my perspective. This led to me passing my Part 3 first time.

I wake up each day excited for work and I’m closing in fast on my 100th pass. Even though I’ve been qualified for a number of years, I still know I’ve got Stuart at the end of the phone whenever I need him.

Stuart, I can’t say thank you enough.

Vance - Nottingham

I would definitely recommend Stuart as a trainer to becoming a driving instructor. Even before starting part 1, he was in touch, told me what I was going to doing, how he would be helping/training with me.

He has been with me through the bad, the good and the ugly.

Stuart made the whole process better knowing I had someone there for me, whenever I needed any help, support, a chat and even a shoulder to cry on.

I was very lucky to of had him as my trainer but even better as now a friend that I can call if or when I need anything.

Thank you so much Stuart for helping and supporting me to being an ADI.

Laura - South Leicestershire

I can fully recommended Stuart after he helped me pass my ADI 3 and supported me both through part 2, part 3 training and final exam.

Stuart is incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable, everything you’d hope for from an instructor and instructor trainer. He is someone who always has time for you and will never make you feel stupid, he has an incredible talent for making you believe you can do it.

Without him, I don’t know whether I would’ve gotten through the training like I did and wouldn’t have my own driving school business today, 3 years on from passing my ADI3, I still use tips and tricks learnt from Stuart to help my own students.

He’s an asset to the industry and I’d recommend him to anyone with confidence he’ll help you achieve success.

Kerry - North Leicestershire

I had the privilege of being trained by Stuart while working towards becoming a Driving Instructor myself, and I can honestly say it was an outstanding experience.
We spent several months training together, during which Stuart consistently showed exceptional kindness, patience, and an incredible depth of knowledge. His understanding of both driving instruction and teaching techniques is remarkable.
Stuart didn’t just teach me what to teach — he helped me understand how to teach. He guided me in learning how to work with new learners, how to adapt to different personalities, and how to present my knowledge in a clear and accessible way so students could understand it exactly when they needed it.
What truly set Stuart apart was his encouragement and belief in me. He always took the time to explain things thoroughly, offered constructive feedback, and helped build my confidence step by step. His calm and supportive approach made a huge difference throughout my training.
Thanks to his dedication and outstanding training, I successfully passed my ADI Part 3 with a Grade A, achieving the highest possible result — something I was absolutely over the moon about.
I am extremely grateful for everything Stuart has taught me. He is not only an excellent instructor trainer but also a genuinely supportive and inspiring mentor. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to become a confident, knowledgeable, and professional driving instructor.
