I cannot recommend Darren enough. I had started my lessons aged 17 using manual transmission, I struggle majorly with anxiety and lack of self-confidence and three instructors later I found the person who got me through it all aged 21, like it was easy!!!  4 months of lessons with laughs and smiles, being reassured every step of the way! I never ever looked forward to lessons until a few months ago, I love driving now. I passed today with only 2 minor faults, I’m over the moon. Darren was not only a driving instructor but he’s now a friend for life. Thank you.

I would absolutely recommend Darren as a driving instructor especially if you are someone who suffers with anxiety. He is super friendly, patient and supportive.

Highly recommend Darren as a driving instructor, he was patient and catered to my needs as I was a nervous driver to begin with and Darren was able to build my confidence. I was able to pass my test first time with him.

Couldn’t recommend a better driving instructor! After learning manual for year and then going automatic 5 days before my test, Darren made the conversion so easy. I ended up passing first time. He makes you feel comfortable by being so friendly and welcoming. Would give 5*

Went to have my first driving lesson with Darren. Having previously had bad experience with different instructors I was very worried of how my first lesson would have gone , but Darren is an amazing instructor , boosted my confidence and has totally reinstated faith into driving lessons for me. I’m looking forward to all my lessons with him and I’m confident with his help I will achieve my goal . 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The last 3 months learning with Darren have been incredible, after previously having a bad experience with a driving instructor I was a bit apprehensive but even from the first lesson I was so comfortable with Darren. He made me feel at ease, comforted me when I felt like giving up and lifted my spirt right away. He made passing first time for me real when I never thought I could. Lovely, friendly and funny guy. I’m going to miss not having our lessons. Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Darren as a driving instructor, very comfortable to be around and patient when teaching. I simply wouldn’t of passed so quickly and first time without him

I thank Darren for everything he has done for me in helping me pass my driving test. I would trust this man with my life, he’s helped me in more than just driving. He’s an absolute gentleman and I am glad to call him a friend. I highly recommend.

Fantastic instructor, very clear and direct lessons. Amazing communication throughout the entire learning experience. Honestly couldn’t have done it with any other instructor. I can’t thank Darren enough for all the help and experience over the last 6 months. Would highly recommend him as an instructor for anyone learning.

Darren, what a legend you are, 1st class instructor, you got me to my test with patience and understanding, which I appreciate so much. Thank you for all your assistance and advise. A friend for life. You have changed my life. Passing my test with your training is such a good feeling. Cheers.

I can’t thank Darren enough for his patience and knowledgeable coaching to get me to pass my driving test. I never thought I would get my licence, but with his help, encouragement and positivity, I have. I’m so grateful to him for sticking with me even though I wasn’t easy to teach on times. Don’t hesitate to start learning with him. I’m so glad I found him. He’s the best. Thank you again Darren. 5*

I cannot recommend Darren enough. At 31 I thought I’d never get to the point of learning to drive, let alone passing. Friday 13th is definitely a good day for me, with Darren’s help and patience I managed a first time pass with zero faults. I will miss our lessons, you made learning to drive fun and enjoyable. Thank you for all your help over the last 5 months.

After years of personal struggle with driving and three instructors down, I decided to try automatic with Darren Baker and it was the best decision I’ve made. We’ve had tears and laughs but after hard work and dedication, he gave me the confidence and knowledge to achieve my goal.

What a wonderful person and brilliant driving instructor. I shall miss him. Let the adventures begin.

I would highly recommend Darren’s Automatic Driving. I had been trying to learn for years and just couldn’t get it so gave up. I started with Darren and he made me feel comfortable and was very patient. With his patience and fabulous temperament I passed my test first time. Thank you Darren for everything

Late to the party with passing my driving test at my age but what an amazing instructor I’ve had. Not only teaching me to drive PROPERLY but helping me with many other life problems. Going to miss our weekly therapy sessions. Couldn’t have done it without you. Darren Baker you’ll always be a big part of my life. Here’s to the open road.

Can’t thank Darren Baker enough for the last few months getting me through my driving test. He has the patience of a saint. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you for everything, I will forever be thankful.

Darren has been an amazing instructor. He’s been patient and helpful over the last two and a half years. Always trying to bring the best out in me, clearly explaining whenever I made mistakes. So glad I learnt with him. I’d recommend him to anyone.

So grateful to Darren. I fully believed that I wasn’t capable of driving, but here I am with a license. Thank you so much for not only teaching me but for giving me the confidence to do it. I couldn’t recommend Darren more.

Thank you so much Darren. I found learning to drive difficult because of my anxiety. I always doubt myself, but Darren helped me finally pass my test. I’m so grateful for all the support and patience you have shown me. Thank you for everything.

I started with a little driving experience, lots of anxiety and many driving faults. Darren got me to test passing quality within a few months at a time when I was having several health issues and he was particularly good at adapting his methods to match my abilities on the day. Thanks Darren.

Darren is an amazing instructor, he’s helped me so much with my driving lessons and gave me so much confidence. I really appreciate the patience in the lessons he’s had with me, I enjoyed the lessons so much. Darren is an incredible instructor and I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to drive. Thanks for everything.

Sitting in shock…I am a qualified driver!!

At 33 I thought I’d never gain the confidence I needed to get myself on the road. Today, December 1st 2023, I finally passed my driving test.

Darren Baker, there are no words I can use to explain just how grateful I am to you for giving me not only the confidence but the support and help you have given me over the last four months. To say I shit myself when you had booked my test after just four lessons with you was an understatement. It’s been an experience to say the least! Thank you for having the confidence in me and my driving ability and changing mine and my families life. See you on the road, I will miss you.

If anyone is thinking of learning to drive then I can highly recommend Darren. He goes above and beyond as an instructor. With his help I passed my test first time. A massive thank you to Darren for helping me achieve that.

Before meeting Darren, being able to drive was just a dream. He was patient, caring and always went at my pace. Having struggled with anxiety, I was an extremely nervous learner, something that Darren helped me overcome. Not only is he an exceptional teacher but also a lovely person and will be dearly missed. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to learn and especially if you are one that thinks you will never drive. Because, with Darren, you will. Thank you for everything you have done for me.

Darren – What can I say – You have the patience of a saint with the way I would natter on during lessons!

Thank you for everything you’ve done, from driving to life advice, you’ve been a fantastic guide. I couldn’t recommend anyone more, such a stand up guy.

Thank you for everything.

Darren is the type of instructor that will not only ensure you pass your test, but also teach you to be the best and safest on the road. He does not cut corners and his methods are very effective. Additionally, he is professional as well as humourous. I could not recommend him enough. I consider myself lucky to have been taught by Darren!

If you are anxious or nervous about driving like I was, at the age of 36 I thought I was never going to overcome my fear of driving, but with the help of Darren and his amazing, calm but helpful teaching skills I was able  to pass first time with zero faults. I would highly recommend Darren to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

Absolutely amazing driving instructor, so kind and understanding. Would recommend him highly. Kept me at ease all the way through my lessons and at my test. Thank you so much.
