"Whenever you hear the word “lesson” you always assume there’ll be some kind of boredom involved, but driving lessons with Bernie were always fun!
Straight away she was very easy to get along with and instantly became a friend, and the whole process of learning to drive was really enjoyable, and never once was stressful.
Bernie always made everything clear and easy - I think this really helped me to pass first time! I also went on to do Pass Plus - which gave me even more good experience. I’d recommend Bernie to absolutely anyone!
Thank you, Bernie"

"Bernie has been a brilliant driving instructor- not only experienced, patient and approachable, she really had the desire for driving, and teaching alike.
Due to my school timetable and location, she taught me at times she normally wouldn't, and remained as committed as ever- I never felt pushed, and the lessons were always relaxed (yet professional!).
Thanks to Bernie I passed my test first time (and on the 75th anniversary of the driving test!)- it goes without saying, Wayfarer are highly recommended.
Thanks again Bernie!."

"Richard is a fantastic teacher, he's easy going, friendly, always on time and very patient. Richard has you driving safely and confidently from the first lesson and he always gives great advice.
I would and have recommended him to my friends and anyone else whos learning to drive, Now I have passed my test i wish everyone would learn with Richard as I'm getting fed up with all the learners getting in my way lol, with Richard you never drive like a learner.
Thankyou for everything Richard you gave a lot of time and effort to get me through my test it's much appreciated, if I had to do it over again I'd do it with you lol
Thanks again x
Good luck to everyone else learning to drive."

"It was an absolute joy to be taught to drive by Bernie. She is always willing to go the extra mile in order to help you best, and it has been a pleasure to know Bernie and an honour to be her student. I’m certainly looking forward to Pass Plus with Wayfarer so that I can continue to further my driving experience in the best possible way."

"After taking some time out of learning to drive to go to university, I needed to have a full licence to start my job. Richard quickly helped me develop my confidence and road awareness, which allowed me to pass my test and drive each day for work"

"Before i had Bernie as my instructor I had already taken some lessons, they hadn't gone well and i was ready to quit. She took me on as a very nervous driver but because of her friendly, relaxed and very efficient style of experienced teaching not only did i enjoy driving but i passed first time!"

"It was a pleasure to learn to drive with Bernie. Along with learning to drive, I gained a friend and I always looked forward to my lessons. I would definitely recommend her as although helping me pass, I know if I ever needed extra assistance she would be there to help."

"I used to drive in India for more than 8 years n obviously I wanted to drive in UK as well. So I started my driving lessons with Richard. He is very friendly and a very nice human being. He teaches very well. If ur driving lesson is for one hour and the time is over, and if u have any queries, he alway solves ur query."
"Everyday he comes with the same enthusiasm...Hats off!"
"I got the licence say 2 months back. Now my husband and my friend both are taking classes with him. And they are doing very well."
"You will always feel confident while taking lessons with Richard! "
"THANKS A LOT!!"

"Learning to drive with Bernie was an absolute pleasure! Her skill as an instructor, interminable patience and "can do" attitude made my lessons thoroughly enjoyable and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn. I never felt under strain and she did everything possible to help me succeed."
"Not only did I pass my test first time (always a bonus!) and get my Pass Plus, I also gained a friend."

"My driving lessons with Bernie were fantastic, she has so much patience and determination to get you through your test, which is definitely what I needed. You don't just feel like a pupil when you're with her, you feel like friends which is a massive bonus! If it wasn't for Bernie encouraging me and supporting me through what is one of the biggest tests you will take in life, i don't think i would have ever made it"

"I had lots of hours tuition, and passed my test first time - with only two faults!"
"Best of all, I didn't have to pay for any of my lessons.... thanks, Dad."
