Kind, patient and encouraging

My daughter began lessons with Peter last year, after a bad experience with a previous teacher. Peter proved to be incredibly kind and patient with her. He was always encouraging and positive, and worked hard to build up her confidence. We are so grateful for his help and would highly recommend him.

Peter is a phenomenal instructor who provides genuine feedback alongside having seriously helped me pass my test despite me not feeling at my most confident. Nothing is a stupid question when talking to him which reflects his relaxed but dedicated personality. Thank you Peter. I couldn’t have done it without your help.

Both my sons have now passed with Peter…in record time - he is amazing

Both my sons have now passed with Peter - first time and in less than six months. He is brilliant, fun, relatable, flexible, an excellent communicator with parents and students and we could not be more pleased with how well they can now drive. They are confident and secure drivers and I’m quite sure better drivers as a result of his professional instruction. Thank you Peter we will miss you and highly recommend you to others.

Better driver training, driving instructor Peter Brace…

Better driving instructor Peter Brace was an incredible and patient driving instructor. I passed with no minors thanks to him! Could not recommend enough as he is a brilliant instructor who builds your confidence and teaches you skills not only to pass but to succeed at driving for the rest of your life.

I highly recommend Mark, he always made clear instructions and had great patience and a calm and comforting atmosphere. I struggled highly with my nerves but Mark helped me work on that. I can’t thank him enough, driving has changed my life.

Better Driver indeed!

I highly recommend Dan Hose from Better Driver School. Over the past few months, he has been a fantastic instructor, helping me build my confidence and learn to drive better. Dan is incredibly friendly and supportive, always using great teaching techniques that made it easy to remember and observe. He constantly emphasized safety and security, pushing me to do my best, which clearly paid off as I passed my driving test today! I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Thank you, Dan!
