Being 25 and having zero driving experience I was very nervous about having lessons and one of the worst parts was picking an instructor. About ten minutes into my first lesson with Rob I knew I had made the right choice! Rob is calm, patient and explained everything to me without ever making me feel silly (despite my many silly mistakes!). He has tonnes of experience too, so Rob always knew how to deal with any particular difficulties I was having and ultimately Rob's methods teach you not just how to pass your test but how to be a good driver for the rest of your life. Most importantly for me though, Rob is one of the friendliest people I have ever met and despite all the beginners nerves I ended up loving learning to drive. If there were any moments when I had lost confidence Rob would make me laugh and send me on my way again. I have already recommended Rob to a few of my friends and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for an instructor. Thank you so much Rob for making learning to drive fun! read more

Without any hesitation, I can recommend Rob and Apple Driving School to anyone looking for driving lessons in the Nottingham area, no matter what their level or experience. Waiting to get into the driving seat of a car for the very first time was one of the most nerve-racking experiences of my life, but from the second I sat down until I passed my test 12 weeks later, Rob constantly put me at ease, was supportive, friendly, funny and encouraging, particularly at times where I had lost confidence. The thing I most enjoyed about Rob's method of teaching is that he explained why I was performing certain manoeuvres or carrying out various checks. Rob doesn't just teach to get you through the test, he teaches to make sure you're the best driver you possibly can be after you pass. Driving is something you will hopefully enjoy for the rest of your life, so it stands to reason that you'd want to get the best instructor you possibly could. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that Rob is that instructor. read more

Rob is the friendliest and the most experienced driving instructor I ever met. I took assessment lessons from almost all driving schools but when I had the assessment lesson with Rob, I realized that this is the driving instructor I was looking for. It was because of the feedback he gave me at the end of the lesson which was both impressive and true. Every one knows their negative sides but when you hear about it from someone else it makes a bigger impact. Whenever I had lessons with him, he was always ready with an Action-plan. He has universal techniques to approach big junctions, roundabouts and all the manoeuvres. He didn't only teach me to pass my driving test but taught me how I can become a good driver and advised me how I should select my first car. I would recommend to everyone with full confidence. read more

Having previously taught my partner & his brother to drive I knew when I finally plucked up the courage to start my lessons, it would be with Rob. He is a genuinely lovely man, with a passion for teaching. His lesson plans are structured around you as an indiviual, recognising your strengths & working on your weaknesses to help build the skills & confidence you need as a driver, not just to pass your test. I couldn't recommend Rob enough, whether you are someone with a natural confidence in driving or someone who can't see themselves ever being behind the wheel, Rob's the man to teach you. Lessons were always funeven when some of my driving was slightly questionable, Rob always picked my cofidence straight back up & always had a funny story or two to tell. Again, couldn't recomend enough!!! read more

Finding a decent driving instructor is really hard. You want value for money! someone who is going to get you passed in the quickest time possible! and most importantly some one you are going to get on with! with Apple driving school I felt all of these boxes were ticked. Rob was very professional, really easy to get on with and made me feel at ease on the road. Learning to drive can be a bit daunting and a bit of a hassle fitting it in to your every day life. However Rob was really flexible with me, fitting lessons into my sometimes so hectic working life. I passed first time a couple of months ago! and have already driven down to London, Lemmington Spa! Northampton! Staffordshire and beyond! Highly recommended! * 5 STARS!! :-) read more

An absolutely wonderful driving instructor! Even though I was incredibly nervous about driving, Rob made me feel completely at ease from the very first lesson. He's a lovely, friendly and very patient instructor who will never make you feel silly or upset over your mistakes- explaining things in a variety of ways to suit any learning style. I definitely felt I was getting excellent value for money, and- as I passed first time- it shows! Rob doesn't just teach you to pass the test, he teaches you how to drive in a large number or scenarios so that you feel safe and confident when out on the road alone. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Rob was recommended to me by a friend who was very satisfied with Rob as a driving instructor. I had a few different driving instructors previously, but none of them managed to give me that confidence which I felt after my first lesson with Rob. Definitely the best instructor I've ever met. He always created a friendly and easy atmosphere, encouraged me and gave a constructive feedback after each lesson. I especially valued his calm and constructive reaction in situations when I made mistakes. Rob is a very creative driving instructor who uses all available resources and continuously improves his teaching methods. read more

After having one 5 hour driving lesson when I was 17 I went to University and always put off learning to drive because the driving instructor that I had used didn't explain things clearly and was quite impatient. That all changed when I was bought some driving lessons for Christmas for Apple Driving School. Rob was completely different to my original driving instructor and I am glad that I learnt to drive with him. Explanations were always precise and easy to follow and I always felt at ease whilst driving. He was extremely patient and used a wide range of resources and methods to teach me the skills to drive. read more

I found Rob after googling 'best driving instructor' & after our first lesson I was absolutely delighted because he really is the best. He is extremely good at his job. i found his assessment of my qualities and weaknesses as a driver was spot on & his excellent feedback and continual encoragement helped refine my driving skills. I have passed my test thanks to Rob and every lesson i took with him improved me as a driver so is money very well spent. Rob is an amazing guy, honest, polite and patient and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be a component and confident driver. read more

A year after passing my driving test I was still a nervous driver lacking confidence. After my Pass Plus with Rob it all changed! I feel so much more at ease now and driving feels natural. Rob taught me with patience and thoroughness how to drive on motorways, at night and on rural roads, and I really feel self-assured in every condition now. Rob's experience and niceness were very helpful and I'm really glad I chose Apple Driving School. read more
