Dario Montez Rodriguez
read moreI had a great time learning to drive with Steve. Id never driven anything before, yet he was able to start from the absolute basics, and even if I had a really specific question about the highway code, or even the mechanics and engineering of the car, Steve was able to answer. Its been both fun and informative, and I didnt encounter any situation I wasnt prepared for during the exam. I passed first time!

Georgia Campbell
read moreCouldnt have asked for a more understanding instructor. After the issues with a previous instructor my confidence was low and after only a few lessons I felt both my confidence and my awareness had improved dramatically. I felt relaxed when driving and steve was understanding about issues and explained how to correct them in depth. I passed my test today much more confidently thanks to steve. Would 100% recommend

Steve's great at identifying strengths and weaknesses and does a fantastic job at explaining where you've gone wrong and how you can improve.

Fantastic
Started automatic lessons with Steve back in July after stop-start manual lessons elsewhere years ago. So happy with the decision to learn automatic and personally can't understand why anyone would want to drive a manual! But more importantly, I'm so grateful for Steve's fantastic teaching. He's so calm, clear and patient which is exactly what I needed and ultimately why I was able to pass first time. If you're considering automatic lessons, I'd say go for it and if you do, you should absolutely be getting in touch with Steve!

Thank you Steve!
I first started taking driving lessons with Steve a few years ago before having a break and beginning driving again this summer. Steve has always been so supportive of me and believed in me even when I thought I would never be able to pass. A couple of days ago I passed with 0 minors after 24 hours of automatic lessons. I would recommend Kinghams Driving School to anyone. Thank you Steve for all your support, you are a great driving instructor.

Learning to drive is easier because there is no need to manually coordinate the clutch pedal, gear lever and accelerator. No more stalling - no more clutch control - much easier slow manoeuvring - and depending on the automatic car you are driving - easy hill starts and much less or no rolling back.
