Mike is, quite simply, fantastic.
From the very beginning, he made me feel completely at ease. He has such a warm, friendly personality, easy to talk to, genuinely attentive, and with a great sense of humour that makes every lesson feel relaxed rather than stressful. But beyond that, as an instructor, he is exceptional, truly one of the best you could ever hope to learn from.
I came to him with an international licence and only had 10 hours to prepare for my UK driving test. On top of that, I was travelling from London to Taunton, and Mike went above and beyond to accommodate me. He was always kind, communicative, flexible, and incredibly supportive throughout.
What really stood out was how much he gave in those lessons. It wasn’t just about passing a test, he taught me how to actually drive properly, confidently, and safely. His way of explaining things is clear, thoughtful, and reassuring, and he had a way of calming my constant nerves that I didn’t think was possible.
Passing first time after just 10 hours still feels amazing, and I genuinely believe I owe that to Mike! his knowledge, his patience, and the way he teaches.
I’ll truly miss our lessons, and honestly, I’d love to sit down for a coffee at Coffee 1 and have a chat with him someday:) Mike is not just a brilliant instructor, but a genuinely lovely person.
Thank you so much, Mike. Wishing you and your family all the very best!
