Driving Skills Academy

I recently had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with Chris, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most helpful and supportive instructors out there. He made me feel comfortable and at ease behind the wheel, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions I had. Throughout my lessons, Chris was patient and encouraging, always providing constructive feedback and helping me improve my driving skills. Thanks to Chris, I passed my driving test with 1 minor ...

Chris is the absolute best of driving instructors, I have nothing but positive words to say about him! I went from having an instructor who was not very nice and quite rude to Chris who is very understanding, patient and supportive of both my theory questions or practical. I suffer from anxiety so having someone who is nothing but kind and patient while learning how to drive (which is scary as it is) is very helpful and important to anyone regardless. I would recommend Chris barker 100%. It i...

I have just passed my practical driving test and I can honestly say that I could not have done it without the patience and support I received from Chris. As a very nervous driver I was able to improve my skills and confidence from my first lesson onwards and I have enjoyed every single lesson and always felt like I improved each time. I am so greatful to have had such an amazing and funny instructor and I highly recommend Chris if you are looking to start driving lessons!

Chris Barker was honestly the best instructor throughout his time teaching me. I opted for an intensive course, and Chris ensured that in 40 hours I was test ready. In two weeks, Chris took me from a nervous driver who didn’t think she could manage a manual license, to a confident and calm driver passing first time with only 3 minors. I would highly highly recommend. Not only was Chris a calm, patient and insightful driving instructor, he was also someone I looked forward to seeing at every l...

And thats a HAT-TRICK Well what can I say, if this doesn't showcase the excellence of Chris Barker the driving instructor then I don't know what will. We've known Chris for 4 years and he's successfully instructed all 3 of my daughters, all of which passed first time with a handful of minors and my youngest just passed with zero minors. Great communication, good value and I simply couldn't recommend Chris enough.... Thank you Chris (five stars from us!)
