What Our Students Say About Stuart Nelson

My instructor Stuart was very professional and thorough. He put a lot of effort in to get me through my test. For a person like me who had never driven a car before and a slow learner he has really helped me to achieve this on my first attempt, thank you so much.

There are absolutely no words to describe how amazing Stuart is from 1st Driving School. I suffered severe anxiety around driving and getting into cars prior to learning with Stu due to bad experiences in the past and poor health but Stu made me feel so relaxed and at ease. He's calm, patient and understanding just like driving with a pal. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Highly highly recommend.

After having a bad experience with my previous instructor I changed to this school and Stuart Nelson taught me. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, he made me feel at so much ease after previously being a very anxious driver. I am now confident that I’ll be able to handle any challenges by myself on the roads. Thank you so much Stuart! You are a legend.

Stuart took over my daughters tuition at the last minute and worked so hard to get her match fit for her exam, fitting in extra lessons to ensure she was as ready as she could be and giving her the confidence that she was more than capable of passing, and she did! Can’t recommend him enough, thank you Stuart.

I absolutely enjoyed all driving sessions with Stuart. He is very friendly, supportive and he has always encouraged me to be a safe driver. Without the continuous support and motivation from my driving instructor, it would have been very difficult for me to pass the test.

Excellent service, Stuart Nelson really helped me gain my confidence and worked with me to get through the test, many thanks.

Stuart the man, the myth, the legend! Couldn't have done this without Stuart. I would have quit a long time ago if it wasnt for his composure and encouragement. Took me awhile, but his perseverance and belief in me made me eventually love driving and I'm incredibly thankful.

Very helpful past first time thank you

I passed 1st time with one minor fault. Stuart Nelson was my instructor and he made learning so simple, hes got patience and we had a good laugh on lessons. He kept me at ease on my test day as I was so nervous, highly recommend.

100% Recommend. I cannot recommend 1st driving school enough. INFINITE thanks to my instructor Stuart for putting so much time, energy and belief into every lesson. He truly wants his learners to be their best and I have become such a confident driver because of his patience and knowledge. Thank you so much again, you have really helped me gain the independence I’ve been needing.

Best instructor around! I started my driving journey in April and passed my tests first time today thanks to my amazing instructor Stuart Nelson! He was not only patient and professional but made me feel at ease and helped me build my confidence over time. He's always friendly, down to earth and up for a laugh. I feel he's prepared me for all possible life scenarios and I'm confident I can tackle them all. Thanks Skip!

Stuart helped me so much as I wasn’t feeling as confident after having a not so great start with a previous driving instructor. Stuart was/is patient, friendly, professional, supportive and amazing throughout my whole driving journey which was even longer due to covid. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking to start learning to drive as he is a great instructor and I appreciate all the help and advice he has given me. I passed my test first time and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Stuart and 1st Driving School.

Stuart Nelson was my tutor and he was a very good driving instructor. He helped me with everything and very easy person to get along with. I could not fault him in any way, nicest driving instructor you could get. I highly recommend him for any new driver or a driver that needs extra skills. Thanks again Stuart Nelson you are the best.

I’d been to two driving schools before coming across 1st and I have to say there is absolutely no comparison. It’s completely worth the investment. My instructor, Stuart helped me pass first time. I was sent weekly progress reports with action points for our next session and I knew I could contact him anytime with questions. The service is spot on and I felt very comfortable, safe and reassured while I was learning. Stuart even gave me extra tips for my own car (e.g. getting blind spot mirrors since it’s a tiny one) so he really went over and above for me. I would highly recommend 1st driving school without hesitation.
