Instructor Jeff - Learning with Jeff (on an automatic) was great because he always had several alternative ways of explaining things when I didn't understand first time. He was very patient and gave me back the confidence I'd lost after failing so many times on a manual car in the past. Thanks!

Marcus - Instructor - What can I say? Marcus put me at ease immediately and gave me the confidence to not only drive, but to drive well. I cannot recommend Chequers or Marcus enough! At 30 I thought it would be a real up-hill struggle to learn how to drive after all this time. But Marcus always seemed to find a way to correct any issues and now that I have passed I have so much freedom. Thank you is not enough! A+

The greatest driving school around - I didn't realise how bad my previous instructor was until he went on holiday again, so I gave Chequers a try while he was away. What a difference, turned up on time every lesson, no smell of smoke and best of all sorted out my problems in easy to understand lessons. Don't believe all driving schools are the same because they are not. I would recommend Chequers to anyone, they are very good.
