A Well Deserved Clean Sheet
I have had a thoroughly enjoyable time learning to drive with Cary. He is an absolutely wonderful teacher and I always felt that I progressed more than I thought I could in each lesson. This was partly because I learned to trust that Cary knew what was within my capabilities, but also because of his patient, kind, and supportive attitude which really made for a safe and fun learning environment. Lessons were stimulating and challenging but I never felt that I was being pushed too far beyond my comfort zone, and was surprised at how quickly I progressed. I feel I have really benefited from the learner focused LD system, particularly through writing down my lesson goals and concerns and then completing reflective logs at the end of each lesson. This helped both maximise my lesson time and also learn from my mistakes quicker. The book was also very useful for visualising some of the manoeuvres. The LDC theory app has been invaluable to helping me pass my theory test and learn how to be safe on the roads, through the repetitive questions and simulated videos. Overall, I have had a really enjoyable time with Cary and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Passed First Time!
Cary was a brilliant instructor. Calm, friendly and highly knowledgeable about all things driving! Consequently, while the LDC workbook was a very useful resource I didn't need to check it a great amount as I learnt by practice. I liked the student centred aspect as it allowed me to control what I wanted to practice, in agreement with Cary. The theory test practice was comprehensive and useful. Overall, I highly recommend LDC and Cary - a great instructor and a great man!

Passed her test at Aberdeen North with just one driving fault, in rather challenging weather conditions.
Cary has been very nice and relaxed through everything, providing plenty of quality materiel which has been helpful.
