Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Mike Sutton, an ace Driving Instructor.
You have the patience of a saint, how you put up with me during all my tantrums i will never know, but I will always be in your debt. For so long I thought I would never pass but you gave me hope. You are definitely the best Instructor in the world, you kept believing even when all the others had given up on me, thank you so much Mike xxx

HI ALL I PASSED FIRST TIME TODAY !
A big thank you to "Mike Sutton" who persisted in pushing me to perform to the best of my ability. A very patient Instructor who takes note of your personality and coaches you the way you learn best. He constantly assesses his methods to ensure he takes you step by step on the road to success, he set me a goal of passing before I went back home from University and a cant belive i will go home with a 2.1 in French and Spanish and a driving licence. Thanks again Mike.

Hi Mike!
I would like to say a massive "Thank You" I had two tests before with a different company and failed. I was very nervous and it knocked my confidence greatly. After a weeks Intensive Course with you I passed first time. You worked on my flaws and improved my driving immensly. I felt completly at ease with you and that showed in my results. "Thank You"

Hi I would like to say "Thank You for helping me achieve my licence. Without you I would not have been able to take my test and feel prepared for it. Your calm nature allowed for my nerves not to take over and I passed first time with only three minors. You managed to achieve the impossible by taking me through to my test within a set period of time, from sombody who fully admits they new nothing about driving when they began. I cannot express my gratitude stronglyl enough. Thanks again Mike.

Just want to say a massive "thank you" Mike, you are a brilliant Instructor, who was tough on me, but having passed 1st time with only three minors I know it was worth it.
"Thank You soooo much".

Just want to say a big "thank you Mike" as you know after many failures I had to learn again for work after 10 years of not driving. I passed with you the first time with only 1 Minor. Your a great Instructor, patient and understanding, leaving me feeling confident and well prepared for the test. I would recommend you to any body wanting to learn to drive.
"Thanks Again"

Hi Mike
Well what can I say I just cant believe it, I passed today with only 2 minors. Thank you so much for for not giving up and encouraging me all the way. I know I was not the easiest person to teach to drive but it was worth it in the end and this will make such a big difference to my life.

Thank you so much Mike! I couldn't have done it without you!
I started my driving lessons about 4 years ago. Originally I was in no rush to pass my test and therefore didn't have regular lessons. It wasn't until I was going to start university that it suddenly became important to pass my test and get myself driving, however my nerves would get the better of me on test and I failed my first 2 tests. I then decided to take a break from driving as I was living up at university and didn't need to drive. Then I needed to move home and realised that if I wanted to continue my course which I was about to go into my final year of that I needed to be able to drive. Panic set in and I started my driving lessons again with a new instructor where I then failed another 2 tests. Then I moved back home and found Mike. I decided to do the intensive course so that I could try to get a test quick and could spend more time on my driving. I had already had to adjust to a new car and instructor before so I was anxious at first as to how it would be but Mike put me at ease and I found it very easy to adapt. We managed to find a test very quickly which I failed yet again, 5 tests failed I was starting to think I would never pass. Mike managed to find me another test in time for before I had to go back to university and I finally passed! Mike was amazing the whole time I was driving with him. He not only improved my driving ability but also my confidence in my driving and I really believe that without him I would still be trying to pass my test today. He also made driving lessons fun and I am going to miss our lessons. Thank you so much Mike! You saved my university course and improved my quality of life in so many ways!

Dear Mike
So shocked and happy that I passed my test yesterday after turning 17 less than 2 weeks ago I could not have done it without Mike! I rung the big Red L company on Friday the 26th of august about an intensive course and it was sorted by the end of that day thanks to Mike fitting me in around his plans. I started my course the Monday after so I could get passed as quickly as I wanted. I had a week in which I had to be ready for my test , Mike had faith in me and told me I should go for it all along even though I was still making little mistakes thank god he did have confidence in me as I passed my test! I couldn't have got a better patient instructor who still gave me confidence even when I did keep going wrong. If you are desperate to pass your test mike is the best instructor as he takes that into consideration and appreciates that you want to get it done and will help you as much as he can! Mike made me feel confident and prepared me so much for my test and made me aware of anything and everything that could come up on my test! Such a relaxed patient supportive instructor don't think I could of found someone better would recommend mike to everyone ! Thankyou so much Mike for getting me passed so quickly and with only 1 minor!
Will be weird to drive without you now!

A big thankyou to Mike Sutton, what a great man and even better instructor. I failed 5 times with another instructor before going with Mike, and passed first time under his tutoring. He showed me how good the standards of instructing should be and without Mike I still believe I wouldnt be on the road today.
Thanks again Mike my life has allready changed completly.

Hi Mike,
Many thanks for all you have done and helped me achieve. I still don't quite believe it but its done now. Words fail me but I think you know me well enough to know that's probably a first lol. Below is a testimonial and I only hope it does you the full credit you deserve.
I started my driving lessons with Mike Sutton in July. I was a very nervous driver and suffer from "Combat Stress" which people may associate with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I tend to have feeling of panic arising from the simplest things and also suffer from poor concentration. Mike reassured me and got to understand the problems I faced very quickly. I thought I may of had to have several re-tests but on the day I passed and so much is due to Mike and his mild voiced and reassuring approach. I have no hesitation in recommending Mike to any of my peers, colleagues, friends and acquaintances in the first instance. He is an instructor of the highest quality and takes his job as seriously as he does the well being of his students. Brilliant, simply brilliant!
Thanks again Mike and I hope we meet up again someday soon.
Best regards and sincerest thanks,
Gabe 5/01/2012
"Mike you are without doubt the best driving instructor in the country! And trust me, I've been through a few! No one made me feel as confident about my driving as you did. It shows in my driving now that you were teaching me to be a safe, confident and sensible driver rather than just getting me through my test. Everyone who gets in a car with me comments on what a calm driver I am - ha ha if only they'd seen me on some of our lessons. As a testament to your great teaching I passed with a CLEAN SHEET! I'm not sure who was more shocked... you or me. I would recommend you to anyone thinking of starting to learn to drive and to anyone that has been learning to drive but has struggled with previous instructors or their nerves. You're great! Thanks for getting me to pass."
