Thanks so much for your review Alfie - well done on your first time pass!
Highly recommend!
Ruth from lifetime has been such a brilliant instructor!!! She has made such an effort to make every lesson enjoyable and fully prepare me for any eventuality for my test - making sure to give me encouragement and comfort whenever she can. This resulted in me passing first time with only 2 faults! If you’re learning to drive, definitely use lifetime!

Roger is an amazing driving instructor…
Roger is an amazing driving instructor and overall an amazing person, I can’t recommend him enough. I started lessons with him as someone who had very little confidence in myself to pass, he completely changed that with how encouraging and calm he has been. If it wasn’t for him I don’t think I would have passed and definitely not first time. I am going to miss our lessons and can’t thank him enough for his support and patience.

Roger is a really good instructor, made sure he went through everything that I was not sure on. He is a good laugh during all the lessons, and is just a great person in general.

Driving
Rog is alright for a city fan at least. Enjoyed lessons as I was kept entertained by conversations in the vehicle easy to talk to and easy to learn things from him.

Excellent instructor
I learnt with Roger during my time with Lifetime and I have recommended him to everyone I know who is considering starting their driving lessons. It took me a bit longer than most to get the hang of driving but Roger was patient and professional the entire time. He took his time explaining the different aspects of driving I struggled with and made me feel confident and safe throughout my lessons. I always looked forward to my driving lessons and I couldn’t reccomend Roger enough he was a truly excellent instructor!

The best driving instructor I could have hoped for
Roger has been my driving instructor for just over a year and I had a first time pass today with zero faults. He has consistently made me feel comfortable and more confident in my abilities by providing constructive criticism and never failing to make me laugh. I could not have passed today without his unconditional support and I cannot recommend him enough as a driving instructor.
