"I was told by friends that gary was a great instructor. They were right I passed first time with under 10 lessons. Gary makes everything seem fine when your behind the wheel, even when you do something wrong, he will tell you not to worry, why it happened and what you need to do to make it right. So choose gary, you won't regret it!"

"Gary was reccommended to me by several friends and is a brilliant instructor. I came to him after having 30 lessons with another instructor who seems mediocre compared to Gary. Gary was able to get me up to test standard in only a few lessons and made my confidence greatly improve. I would not have passed without his help. Definitely reccommending him to anyone who says they need an instructor."

"Couldn't really ask for a better instructor! All my friends moan about their impatient instructors and how they feel like it's more about the money they are handing over and not really about them and the actual service. Pete was amazing from the start and very well worth the money. Pete doesn't actually advertise other than this website and all the people he teaches are from recommendation! He told me before my test that he is so full up that it's leading onto his weekends! Defiantly recommend. Superb service and yet again, thanks for teaching me Pete! "

"I really couldn't reccomend Pete McGrath more highly. As a teacher, Pete's lessons were always well planned and tailored to my personal needs, and he would give practical and sensible advice. Equally as importantly, Pete is just generally a really nice bloke and made me feel very relaxed from the first lesson. I learned the basics in Pete's car and although i took the test in my own, I would have happily taken it in the peugeot. All in all i would highly reccomend him and i'll definitely be doing pass plus as soon as my exams end. Cheers Pete."

"Gary and I both agreed when i started in October 09 that I was a born natural behind the wheel, so it wasn't hard for him, after all you cannot improve on perfection :) Seriously though, Gary is a really nice fellah, he put effort into being friendly and chatty whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism, this made my learning experience a lot easier to bare. Talked me through all of my mistakes, taught me everything i needed to know at my pace, even wound down the window and stuck up for me from some lairy couple in Croydon. Cheers Gary, have and will recommend you to all of my friends, given your number to 3 or 4 already. 10 outta 10 geeza, THANKS MAN, Believe i was you best ever pass at Sidcup: 1 minor :) will photocopy pass sheet for you :)"

"I had a number of lessons with another instructor when I was 19 and never felt comfortable behind the wheel. As a result I did everything I could to avoid driving for 10 years, during which time, passing my test and getting my licence became a bit of a psychological hurdle. I gave Pete a call as he had helped my brother through his test and really have to thank him for helping me pass my test and enjoy driving again. Pete quickly got to grips with my driving and where I needed to make improvements to be a better driver. His calm demeanour made learning effortless and good sense of humour made lessons enjoyable, even after a long day at work. Pete quickly equipped me with the ability and confidence to take my test, which I passed first time. What an excellent driving instructor. Thanks Pete."

"After an impersonal and temperamental instructor from another driving school (Walkers), I contacted Gary on a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. He is friendly, extremely patient, and teaches specific to your needs and learning capability in a relaxed manner. In addition to this, I found the Peugeot a great car to learn in, especially compared to the previous car (a Toyota Yaris). After failing my first test through nerves, Gary gave me the confidence to carry on and pass the second time around. I have already recommended Gary to friends, and will continue to do so. "

"I’d given up on the idea of ever learning to drive until I started having lessons with Gary. I’d been struggling with a previous instructor for well over a year and then I was given Gary’s number by a friend. Finally with his help ‘The girl who really couldn’t reverse around the corner’ - learnt!! I’ve gone on to recommend him to family and he’s just helped my brother pass too. Thanks Mr. Birch!!"

"Driving with Pete was a luxury. I doubt there are many instructors who have such a genuine outlook on driving tuition. Out of 20 lessons with Pete, there wasn't a single one where I didn't feel excited beforehand. With his help, I was able to sit my driving test completely relaxed and confident, and as a result, pass first time! His methods are excellent, and most of all, you learn to enjoy your driving experience. "

"I recently passed (today!) and i thank Pete a lot for helping me out and getting used to driving for life. Pete was a very easy, understandable, easy going driver instructor. He always praised me whenever I had done something perfectly or corrected myself accordingly. Whenever i did something wrong, he wouldn't get angry, he would explain why and how you should have gone about the problem! Thanks Pete again for being so helpful and I hope to see you again soon!

"I had my lessons with Gary, he is very strict and will teach you to perfection, which is exactly what you need from an instructor if you want to pass the first time as I did! Gary helped me get rid of all the bad driving habits I had picked up previously. He was patient and calm, even when I kept getting things wrong. He gave me confidence and always encouraged me to try things again. I never felt anxious before a lesson because Gary’s way of teaching is so relaxed! I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He is an awesome instructor and a lovely guy :) "

"Having a rubbish driving instructor from the AA, previously before I had Pete, I must say that the quality of the service provided is at a massive contrast. Pete's methods of teaching was incredible compared to those provided by such a recognised company. Pete made driving fun, and easy to learn, and if it was not for him, I doubt I would not of passed first time. He made driving an absolute pleasure, and I would seriously recommend him to anyone. "

His methods are fantastic, second to none. If I had to learn all over again I would not even consider going anywhere else. Thanks alot.

His methods are simple yet amazingly effective and the skills and knowledge he imparts stay with you, not just for your driving test, but also once you've passed.

"My brother passed first time six-years ago with Pete McGrath and so he strongly recommended i also learn to drive with him. Thanks to Pete i also passed both the theory and practical test first time. Pete doesn't just teach you what you need to pass the test, he teaches you all you need to be a good safe driver afterwards, which is just as important as passing!! i would like to thank pete for guiding me through both tests, i wouldn't have wanted to learn with anyone else and would strongly recommend him. Thanks again!!"

"Gary was an amazing driving instructor compared to others that I had heard about from friends.  They always moaned how their instructors weren't patient enough and how they rushed through things without fully understanding what they were doing, but Gary always took his time explaining every step before I attempted it and gave very useful tips for the manouvers.  With his help and guidance I passed first time.  I doubt I would have done this with anyone else, thanks again Gary.

"Gary is a fantastic driving instructor. When I first started lessons with him I didn’t know anything about driving at all, and I mean nothing!!! (I didn’t even know what a clutch was). And with his expert teaching, I passed my test first time. Forget what you thought you knew about driving and let this guy show you how it’s done. Learn with the best, you won’t be disappointed.
