Testimonials

Let me start by saying that I had never sat in the driving seat of a car in my life!  And with Colin's immense patience and teaching I passed my test my first and with ZERO minors.

I felt instantly at ease with Colin. he is very patient and uses a huge variety of teaching methods that suit you best.

I was on a very tight time limit for passing my test as I was leaving to stay in New Zealand so I had to learn quick! Given the preasure of a window of time in which to pass my test, and with mine and Colin's busy work schedual he was amazing at working around me, and always managed to squeeze as many lessons in as we could at a time that was convenient for me.

I very much looked forward to my lessons with Colin.his standards of teaching are first class.  I would recommend him to everyone that is thinking of learning to drive.  I passed my test THE DAY BEFORE leaving for New Zealand with flying colours.

Take it easy Colin, I can't thank you enough!

Thank you again for helping Luke through his driving test.  Please see my testimonial below for your web site.

My son Luke started his driving lessons on his 17th birthday with Colin.  He had never drove before and only had his lessons and no other practice.  Colin, in a very short time, taught him to drive, built his confidence and Luke passed his test on his first attempt.  We are over the moon and would not hesitate to recommend Colin to anyone.  Mr and Mrs Farrell Boldon Colliery.

so reassuring knowing that Colin is excellent at what he does and massively respected by other professionals and all of us who've passed with him and that he genuinely does want you to become an excellent driver yourself-trust me he also has the patience of a saint!  But I couldn't write a testimony without referring to the great banter we had, which is another way he helps to put you at ease and build your confidence, meaning you always look forward to your lessons and you always finish them with a smile on your face!  I couldn't recommend him any higher....Thank you so, so much Colin for everything, I'm actually quite missing our weekly slot already!

Love Sarah Latimer aka Mrs Okie Dokie.

So I'm writing this an hour after I just passed my teas first time with Colin, woo hoo! I passed first time with only four minors, and did a cracking left reverse around the corner, if I do say so myself!  I can honestly say that learning to drive has been one of the most enjoyable and most challenging things I have ever done but Colin made the whole process lots of fun from the very beginning and I've passed feeling very confident in my ability to drive safely thanks to his excellent teaching I really couldn't rate Colin any higher if I tried.... he's genuine, honest, hilariously funny but always professional, so often comes up with helpful tips for tackling something you find difficult and will always do anything he can to help build your confidence and ability.  It's

if you want to drive go to see Colin Eccleston!

I had learning for 2 years with an other driving school and I was no where near ready for my test, however Colin got me ready in only 4 months!

I thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, while learning to drive, what a laugh we had!

oh hell!!!!!

letsgodriving is the way forward!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed every single lesson with Colin you couldn't ask for a nicer driving instructor he makes you feel relaxed and comfortable when driving he got me through my test first time and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good driving instructor.

When I decided to learn to drive I went through a driving school (which I will not name) after several lessons I found I was getting no further forward, just driving around and around on the same routes, learning nothing. A leaflet advertising letsgodrivingschool came through my door one day ,i rang the number and believe me it was the best thing I had  ever done.  Colin my instructor was absolutely brilliant, I learnt more in one lesson than I had ever learnt wiyh the other driving school, I continued to learn, Colin give me confidence and made me believe in myself, after only a few lessons I was ready for my test I passed first time with zero minors.  I cant thank Colin enough for all his help, encouragement and support, I have recommended Colin to friends and will continue to do so,  Thank you very much Colin,

I had been with 2 previous instructors and did not feel at all comfortable with them as I did colin!  When I had my first lesson with him i was a bag of nerves, didn't think I would ever be at test standard but as the lessons went on he was making me more relaxed and confident in my self he has had so many passes with low minors it just shows how much of a great instructor he is, I passed  first time with 1 minor and pleased I went with him after all!  So I suggest anyone wanting to start there lessons they should go through him!!

Thanks so much colin, couldn't of done it with out you!!:D

Colin was an exceptional driving instructor, he was very patient but also professional throughout every lesson.  He allowed me to learn at my own pace without making me feel under pressure. As I was recommended Colin as a driving instructor I was little hesitant but after learning and passing with him I can't thank him enough, he was more than qualified to do the job.  Colin spent a lot of time ensuring that I not only passed to test standard but that I learnt well enough to be a safe driver throughout my life and that is a skill which once gained is priceless,  I highly recommend Colin as an instructor to anybody that is wanting to learn and pass first time and I hope that you enjoy the experience as much as I did!

Couldn't of asked for a better driving instructor.  He got me through my test  for the first time, receiving no minors.  He made me feel relaxed and confident whilst on the road in order to be a good driver.  I loved every lesson, as he made them enjoyable but ensured that I was still learning.  I highly recommend Colin as your driving instructor!!!

Colin is a great driving instructor who was recommended to me by another driving school.  He was really talkative, always put me at ease during our lessons and you can tell he loves his job. I would recommend him to anyone especially nervous drivers like I was as he really helped build my confidence!  Thanks Colin!

I started taking my driving lessons with Mark in 2013.  Mark is a friendly and fun guy,who is easy to get along with.  I found marks teaching techniques really good and easy to understand,in comparison to other instructor I had previously.  I passed my driving exam in march 2014,first time with no minor faults.  Mark is an excellent instructor and I would certainly recommend him to anyone thinking of starting their driving lesson.

A true professional that has not only a very high percentage of pass rates but a low minor rate for those who do pass,this high standards are due to Colin insuring that only people who are completely ready to drive and are safe can take there test.  This shows that not all young drivers are dangerous drivers because of the work and effort Colin and his company 'letsgodrivingschool 'puts into each one of the customers. I passed my driving test first time and with only three minors which i couldn't be more pleased about,this is all down to the time and effort colin put into our lesson to insure i was safe and ready to join the motoring world.

Iv done all my lessons with Colin from letsgodrivingschool and i wouldn't choose anyone else.You are made to feel at ease as soon as you sit in the car and greet him,you will never be yelled at for your mistakes (no matter how dangerous they may be)and you get plenty of really constructive criticism.If you want to learn to be a genuinely good driver ,i wouldn't look any further.  Colin's knowledge and experience with driving and teaching is unrivaled and it shows through in your lessons,even the least confident learner will build their skills with every lesson.  I'm just about to sit my test,and its all thanks to letsgodriving and Colin.-louise,19,race car driver in training.

 And passed first time

Thank you colin for teaching me,definatly would recommend you to anybody who is wanting to pass!  Excellent teacher couldnt falt anything wrong with the way he taught me to drive.From the very first lesson to the very last was spot on cheers

Hi Colin,

Sorry it has took so long but here is my testimony :)

When starting driving i was very nervous and self critical.  Colin made me feel relaxed and comfortable and allowed me to progress at a pace that was right for me.  Not only has Colin taught me to drive he has taught me to be a very safe and considerate driver.  He is a fantastic instructor and would recommend him to anyone !!

Colin,  lets go

Just to say a huge thank you for getting me through my driving test,first with three minors ......how amazing is that!!Honest i was someone who had no interest in driving,but had to do it for my new job.At 44 i was a nervous wreck and probably so were you a lot of the time.i must say,you have the' patience of a saint',and always very professional.........especially putting up with my 'ridiculous behaviour' when having my frequent 'dippy days'.  Your calm approach instantly put me at ease and i know for a fact that i wasn't the easiest to teach!  Colin you real are a 'star',i only wished i'd done it years ago. I would highly recommend you; in fact i already have, so let's hope she's not as dippy as me!A million thanks again for unique approach.

I took my driving lessons with Let’s Go driving School and found them to be professionals of the highest order. Colin is a fantastic teacher. His methodical and explanative approach allowed me to develop as driver at my own pace. Every lesson had a clear plan, with theory and practice being meshed seamlessly so that even after a lesson, in which I felt I had not performed well, it could be analysed to seek the positives. Due to Colin’s vast experience and teaching ability, I passed my test first time. As an added bonus, Colin would often incorporate more advances skills into the lessons if he felt an appropriate standard had been reached. This has made me feel confident to take to roads and enjoy the sense of freedom that comes with being a qualified motorist. I would recommend Let’s Go to anyone who wants to learn to drive the right way.

I wanted to do my driving lessons with an instructor who was well qualified, friendly and dependable and that was exactly what I received from Colin. He was able to keep me keen and eager at all times, whilst keeping a professional manor throughout. He has several unique styles of teaching which were both helpful and interesting. Truly a great professional of the trade. I would definatelty recommend him to all my friends. I am also going to be doing my Pass Plus with Colin.

Colin is by far the best driving instructor out on the road. His teaching environment is relaxed, friendly and highly enjoyable.
He takes you on to a variety of routes with different challenges which gives you the experience you need to survive on roads in real life and not just to pass your test.
I passed my test with only one minor and I feel like the experience I have gained whilst out with Colin is going to stick with me for the rest of my life and keep me safe in the real world.
If you want to get your driving license and actually gain the real world experience you will need and have fun doing so, Colin’s your man.
