Automatic 1st Choice - Testimonials

Rob's story

I can't thank Edd enough for getting me through my test. I had a great couple of months learning with him, he was very helpful and professional during lessons.

With Edd i passed my test first time and he has also got a lot of my friends through their driving too, so thanks a lot Edd had a great
time.

Thank you Edd for the Training, it was a very good experience plus I passed
1st time with 3 minors, very happy.

Sister Act!

Congratulations to Kirsty (centre) who joined older sisters Laura & Alyson
last year. All 3 sisters passed their test 1st time with automatic 1st
choice and were all a pleasure to Teach! Well done!!

Coming from a little Caribbean island and having had my confidence knocked by a previous trainer I then contacted Ed. He took me under his wing and taught me the ways of driving in Britain. Ed encouraged me all the way, listening and advising and ensuring that i adhered to the driving code. His friendly disposition made it easy for me to get on with him. I have already passed on Ed's credential to all my friends.

Thank you Ed for your support and care throughout the months. Thanks for the laughs, tears and in the end happiness at passing my test 1st time. I could not have done it without you.

Diana's Story

I would like to express my highest gratitude to Ed. It was a real pleasure to be his student and would highly recommend him to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive in no time and with the highest standards.

His teaching technique is top class and he managed to prepare me for driving test, but then I moved to London with work. We decided it would be better for me to come back to Lincoln to take my driving test, after a quick recap lesson i passed 1st time with only 3 minor mistakes.

Automatic 1st Choice Driving School is wise investment of money and time.

Thank heavens for Ed! without his superb teaching and friendly manner i would not have gained the confidence i now have and passed. I had tried driving previously in a manual car, but gave up through nerves. Then after a horrific accident which myself and family were very fortunate to survive, i became even more paranoid of every car coming from left turns but with Ed’s help and professional teaching i gained in confidence and the great thing was he was always challenging me a little more each week, helping to push me forward to my goal. Ed explains things in very easy to understand terms & helps you find the approach that works for you!

I would definitely urge anyone to learn with Ed he’s a great guy and tutor and very professional. Many thanks Ed you have helped give me a new lease of life I couldn’t have done it without you.

Thanks to Ed, who was very understanding & helped me to fulfil my dreams.

Passed 1st time I would highly recommend Ed as an instructor.

Katy & Rudi both passed 1st time in Skegness & Boston. Katy is very happy to
pass after only 3 months with 4 minors & Rudi was really pleased to pass with just 2 minors.

Ed's lessons are informative and fun & he is highly recommended from us both! Thanks Ed you are a star!

I really owe Ed a huge thankyou. i started learning with him in February as i have friends and family that he has also taught and have passed first time with him. Ed was really patient as it took more than 1 attempt at my theory and it really held me back, but Ed leant me disks, books and notes and i finally passed it! When i first started to drive i was very nervous but Ed really helped me build my confidence and i passed first time with 5 minors!

He is good fun and up for a laugh but still makes sure you are getting the help you need. I would, and have, recommended him to everyone!

Thank you so much for helping me to learn to drive I couldn’t have done it without you, its so nice to have my independence back.

First I would like to thank Ed for helping me pass my driving test. I took my driving test when I was seventeen and failed three times so I gave up. Now I am thirty nine and needed to drive in order to find a new job thanks to Ed I passed 1st time with five minors and I am very happy. Ed you’re a great driving instructor please use his driving school.

Firstly i would like to thank Edd for teaching me and being patient, he is a very professional instructor and i can recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

I passed first time with only three minors, i am so pleased that i can now drive, Ala

Ed was nice enough to take me on after my previous instructor broke her foot. I didn't have any confidence and couldn't do any manoeuvres to save my life. Ed is patient and can explain things simply enough so even i could understand. Very glad to have had Ed as an instructor and would recommend him to anyone.

Aaron's Story

First of all I would like to thank Edd for his time and effort in teaching me over the months, Going into my test I was very nervous but Edd calmed me down and made sure I was ready, I passed first time with only four minors! so it shows if you put in the time and effort Edd will help you to get the right result.

Cheers again mate, I won't miss your jokes though lol.

I came over from Dubai to see if I could pass the driving test fast and in automatic and Edd was one of the only instructors who was willing to take me on at such short notice.

With only 40 hours brilliant tuition, I was able to drive well enough to pass the test first time. Thanks Edd!

Thanks Ed for encouraging me to retake the test, I was about ready to give up for good. You really are one of the best instructors i have been with & i have had a few.

Kirsty’s Story

Thanks Edd!!

Dr haq story

First of all I would like to thank Edd for his hardwork and devotion in helping the learners. I desperately needed to pass the driving test whilst in Boston and I found Edd a very professional instructor who knows his stuff very well. I learnt a lot of practical tips from him.

I have already started recommending Edd to my colleagues.

Well done Edd, keep it up.

I thought i would never be able to pass my test, but after taking lessons from Edd i developed confidence & determination & passed the practical exam with Edd's easy, elaborate, extensive & encouraging teaching techniques.

Kath's  Story

After moving from Cheshire to Coningsby with my family  i decided it was time to learn to drive. At first i was nervous & lacking in confidence, but Ed encouraged me & my confidence grew steadily with every lesson. Ed is an excellent instructor. Thank you Ed for giving me the motivation & confidence to pas my test.

Jim's Story

Ed was my first choice of driving instructor which i didn't regret as i passed  first time.  I had no previous experience  in driving which gave me an obvious and great lack of confidence.  I also had a problem with concentrating whilst driving but Ed was very patient even when he had to keep going over the basic routines.  I heard of him through some of my friends who were also satisfied with his ability to teach with a calm and patient approach.  He is a decent driving instructor that i would recommend to anyone thinking about learning to drive.

Wendy's Story

After 2 years of driving manual cars i decided to contact edd and go automatic it was the best thing i have ever done Edd is the best! I cant thank him enough for his time and all the tips he gave me I will be giving his number to all my mates!

Lynne-Marie's Story

After 2 years of trying to learn to drive with an unreliable instructor, I decided to contact Ed.  I came down from Liverpool and after only a 3 day intensive course in Skegness, I passed first time.  Ed was extremely encouraging, supportive and very patient (especially when it came to
practicing the manoeuvres).  I found the whole course enjoyable and I already have fond memories of it.  Highly recommended.  Thanks very much Ed.

Edd must have thought I was his worst nightmare the day I started my lessons. I was afraid, lacked confidence, and was very stubborn. I nearly refused to get in the drivers seat! Edd was very patient and gave me the extra encouragement I needed to get behind the wheel. Throughout my course of lessons I always felt comfortable and at ease. I was surprised with the rate my confidence and abilities grew. I passed my test the first time with only three minors, I owe my success to Edd because not only is he an excellent instructor but he provided me with so much support, motivation and confidence. Thanks a million Edd you're a super star!

Jennifer's Story

I had a great time learning to drive with Ed, very professional, very easy
to understand even though my first language wasn't English and he gaved me
lots of motivation to increase my confidence. Thanks to him I passed on the
first attempt!!

Lucy's Story

Three weeks before I was set to work in the US I rang Edd up, desperately searching for someone to help me pass my driving test before I left England. Edd was the only instructor who said he would fit me in whenever I wanted, and who wasn't fazed by the tight deadline. I only had two weeks of lessons and I passed with 3 minors, having failed three years previously. He ensured that I had just the right amount of lessons. He helped me on my way to 100% in my theory test and chilled me out when I was freaking before my practical test. If you're looking for an easy going, humorous but thorough driving lesson I fully recommend him. Cheeeeers Ed!

Holly's Story

I had been taking manual driving lessons for three years and was about to give up on driving. Then I made the decision to take automatic driving lessons, so I contacted Ed. I was quite nervous to begin with, but Ed was extremely encouraging and really helped to improve my confidence. A huge thank you to Ed for enabling me to pass my driving test when I was about to give up on driving for good!  

Rahab who has recently moved to Boston with her job as a doctor was very happy when she passed with only 3 minors.
