Steve Hobart was an amazing instructor who had fantastic patience with me especially as i was a first time learner, Steve taught me from scratch as i was a beginner. I always felt excited for my lessons and he made me very calm, always gave me very clear instructions and always went above and beyond to ensure i was more than test ready.
So pleased i past first time

Passed first time thanks to Steve!
I passed first time with just 2 faults!! I honestly can't thank Steve enough, he’s been an incredible instructor who really knows how to bring out the best in you as a driver. He’s patient, thorough, and never gives up on helping you master even the smallest mistakes. On top of that, he’s genuinely one of the most likeable and funniest people you’ll ever meet. Massive thanks to you, Steve!
