Testimonials

Being a bit nervous about starting to drive I can safely say Mike was the right instructor to get me on the road. He was calm and patient, as well as friendly and helpful. His lessons were always very beneficial and never too expensive. I highly recommend him!

Learning to drive with Mike was amazing, I would look forward to lessons with him as he slowly became a good friend through the lessons. Made me comfortable in the car and never made me panic even in tricky situations (which for me were many)
Many thanks

Mike took me on after a few previous lessons with a different instructor. He quickly improved my driving and always did his best to fit me in where it suited me. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants not only an exceptional instructor but also a really lovely gentleman. I passed first time with only 20 hours of lessons which I was very happy with.

I recently had driving lessons with Mike and found his method of teaching to be clear and easily understood. He gave me the confidence and ability to not only pass my practical driving test in just 2 months but to also undertake long car journeys if needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

The experience was amazing you taught me how drive a car and also remember you telling me not to turn the wheel one handed like I do with the tractor, but honestly can recommend anyone to use you as an driver instructor, hard work pays off. Every lesson you taught you explain throughout the lessons what I need to do and don’t do when driving which is good.

I began learning with Mike very anxious about driving, I felt very welcomed by Mike and always felt I could say if I have any problems or need help with a particular area of driving. I had a quick turnaround when passing and felt mikes quality and standard of driving lesson was extremely high and left me very equipped with the skills I needed to pass my test, enjoyed every moment and was a laugh.

‘Mike is a very good instructor, easy to learn from and a pleasure to drive with. Helped me pass well before I ever thought I would. Thank you Mike!’

Mike is an excellent driving instructor. My sister and I have both had lessons with Mike and passed, my sister first time. He always keeps calm, even when you first start out and manage to stall at every junction. The car he uses is a great car, very easy to drive and not too large which makes manoeuvres not too difficult. He inspires confidence, and I would highly recommend him.

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Mike. I was really nervous to start with but he made me feel so relaxed and confident in myself. I would definitely recommend Mike to learners.

I’ve been driving for 4 months now thanks to the amazing help from Mike L’s Driving School! His calm and friendly manor made it really easy for me to build up confidence whilst driving.
I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone thinking of learning to drive!

I learned to drive with mike back in November. Mike instantly made me feel at ease and was so patient with any mistakes I made along the way. Mike booked me in for my test as soon as I was ready, and supported me throughout learning my theory. I’m very happy with my experience with mike and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

I really enjoyed learning go drive with Mike; he’s so patient and has such in depth knowledge surrounding the driving tests. I found it really helpful that I could just ask to practice a specific element of driving, and he would not push me until I felt I was comfortable with it. Wouldn’t recommend anybody else, thanks Mike!’

I always had trouble getting through the day of test having failed 3 times with previous instructors but my friend recommended mike to me and after just 2 lessons with mike I finally passed my test the entire time in the car I felt relaxed and not watched/pressured and was made to feel extremely confident for my test I would highly recommend mike to anyone out there looking to start driving he’s friendly and a very good instructor.

‘Mike is a very good instructor, easy to learn from and a pleasure to drive with. Helped me pass well before I ever thought I would. Thank you Mike!

When I learned to drive I decided to use mike. I already had experience driving but had loads of bad habits. Mike was very professional, very easy to get on with which would put a younger or nervous driver at ease, after 2 lessons he put me through my test which I passed first time pretty much faultless due to Mikes help in my lessons would highly recommend.

I had a great time learning to drive with mike from the start, he was very relaxed even when I made mistakes. He made time to fit my lessons in without fail and I’ve recommended him to multiple people:) Thanks mike.

Mike is a fantastic driving instructor who is incredibly patient and makes you instantly feel at ease. Not only did I feel like I learned a lot with him but I really enjoyed my time on the road and found that the lessons flew by. After a string of impatient, bad tempered instructors, it was a real relief to have Mike as my teacher. Also, a great testament to his teaching ability is that I previously learnt on automatics and had to learn on a manual for the first time with him and with a week’s worth of lessons, I passed my first manual driving test with him.

Thank you Mike. Your patience and skill in helping me pass my test was invaluable. You were very professional and friendly and put me at ease. The practice tests were really helpful. Thanks again.

Mike was an excellent instructor. Very approachable guy and made me feel at ease. He has a calm and collective manor about him. Knows exactly what he’s talking about and the ways in which he taught were spot on, easy to pick up. Very understanding and supportive at times – overall, 10/10 instructor would recommend

Mike is a lovely driving Instructor, who caters to everyone’s individual needs. I was very impressed with how he calmly and clearly explained each manoeuvrer using a step by step system, whilst always working towards something more difficult. Mike taught me how to drive within 2 months of my 17th birthday and with that I passed my test first time, which I was extremely pleased with. Mike came highly recommended by a number of friends, to which I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thank you again Mike.

Mike- a triple A star instructor who taught my son Hugo and then my daughter Chantal. They found him to be very easy to be with, calming and a great teacher. Couldn’t have been better and very happy to recommend him.

Learning to drive with Mike was an absolute pleasure. He’s very easy to talk to and treated any concerns I had with great understanding. I achieved the amount of hours I wanted to pass in due to Mike’s patience and confidence in me. I’m extremely happy I went with Mike as my instructor and would highly recommend him to anybody!

I recently moved to the area from London and needed to pass my test asap. Im so glad I choose Mike to be my instructor, I could tell from my very first lesson I was in a good pair of hands. He managed to strike the perfect balance of pushing me out of my comfort zone and allowing me progress at my own pace. He knew everything I might face in the test and I could not have felt more prepared on the big day.

Mike was great at helping me develop my confidence on the road. By the far the most helpful driving instructor I have had and was always very supportive and positive. I would really recommend him to any new learner, particularly those who don’t feel confident at first! Thanks a lot Mike.

I would strongly recommend Mike for anybody learning to drive. I was referred to Mike by my brother who spoke of him very highly and I couldn’t agree more. Despite my busy schedule Mike managed to fit me in whenever required. Not only that but Mike teaches fool proof ways to succeed unlike the techniques which my friends have been told by their other instructors, at no point would Mike lose composure no matter what you did as well as being a genuinely nice guy. Cheers Mike

Hi Mike, Yeah of course. I felt very comfortable driving in the lessons and wasn’t afraid to mess up as you were very patient and didn’t get annoyed at me once. I feel I learnt a lot and am really confident to drive on my own now. I would and have recommended you to my friends as I enjoyed learning to drive with you! Although it was a little difficult fitting in lessons as I guess we were both busy at different times, however that’s really the only negative thing I can think of! Hope that’s helpful.

Learnt with Mike and got on really well! Extremely clear instructor who knows exactly what he’s on about and taught all the right things for the test which allowed me to pass first time! Really nice guy and approachable, makes you feel at ease in the car! Cheers mike!

I started learning with Mike when I first turned 17 and couldn’t pass my theory so I ended up stopping learning to drive for about 3 hours. I re started late 2021 in his Automatic car and I passed second time in January. He was nothing but patient and was more than happy to take me back as a student and get me to passing! Beyond grateful for my experience with Mike.

“Mike was everything I could have asked for in a driving instructor. Although I was very nervous to start with as I’d never driven before getting in a car with him, he made the whole experience very simple and comfortable. Reliable and easy going he guided me through passing my theory and practical driving tests first time. It was great getting to know him and I would recommend him to everyone wanting to chose a driving instructor.”

It was clear from my first lesson with Mike that he was not only an excellent driver, but an exceptional teacher too. He is patient and remains calm when you make a mistake, before identifying your error in a constructive way. I would highly recommend learning to drive with Mike, you couldn’t wish for a more genuine and helpful instructor.

Hi Mike,
Hope you are well, and hope this reference is okay..
“After failing my first test, I opted to change instructors and chose Mikes driving school. I mentioned I needed to fast track my learning which Mike completely understood and made time for me weekly. Sure enough I passed after a couple setbacks which is all thanks to Mike who kept me motivated and continued to teach me more every lesson. A great instructor and an even better guy!”

Mike was the second driving instructor I had and I am so glad that I changed to him! He massively helped with my confidence whilst driving and the progress I made with was so fast I couldn’t believe it. I was actually sad when I passed my test that my lessons with Mike would have to come to an end. I had a busy schedule but he was very flexible and did everything he could to accommodate. I couldn’t recommend Mike more strongly. Thank you so much Mike!!

I seriously recommend Mike to anyone who is looking to learn to drive! , having spoken to friends who are learning to drive with other instructors and struggling, it’s obvious he is a fantastic instructor. So calm, patient and a very genuine person to chat to whilst learning. Making me feel comfortable and always reassured if I was to do anything right or wrong. I couldn’t have been more prepared for my test and I passed first time all thanks to mike!, He doesn’t just teach you to pass he teaches you how to drive and I can’t thank him enough. Thanks again Mike you really have been brilliant.

Hi Mike
Thought of something along the line of – Mike made my driving experience very enjoyable and was a good laugh to learn with, made me feel comfortable and that I was capable of anything if I put my mind to it, I would highly recommend him to my friends which is what I have done!

When I started to learn with Mike There was no holding back! He asked me when I wanted to pass and then that was the date! Every lesson my driving improved dramatically! I gained skills very quickly and without him I wouldn’t of passed my Test when I did! Can’t thank you enough Mike!

Mike was very patient throughout my time with him, he was incredibly reliable and always put the pupil first. He manages to remain calm in all situations he faces sat in the passenger seat and nothing was ever of great hassle to Mike. Every lesson I was picking up something new but still managing to practice everything else I was learning. I can not thank Mike enough for allowing me to pass my driving and theory test with him and will be recommending him to friends and family. Cheers Mike.

I was absolutely thrilled with the lesson I had with Mike as they were not only very useful and provided me with a greater knowledge and understanding of the road but most importantly they were very enjoyable. This is due to Mikes personality as he is a very easy guy to get along with and conversation with him is effortless. He always seems to remain very calm no matter what situation you may find yourself in which being a new driver behind the wheel really makes you feel at ease!

Mike Chart is a brilliant teacher. I was very upset I didn’t have him from the beginning when I first started my lessons. However, when I was with him he was so calm and taught me little tips on how to do things which made them a lot easier (especially the manoeuvres). He took me everywhere round Launceston- even all the really tricky bits so there were no surprises on the day. When I didn’t do things very well he wouldn’t just skip past them we went back and re-did the same things while it was fresh In my mind and wouldn’t get cross he would just ask me why I did that and I thought this worked well so he could find out why I did it to be able to help me for next time. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone as he was a lovely man, very relaxed and easy to get along with.

I fully recommend mike to anyone of my friends. He makes you feel easy In the car, not under any pressure, helps you with anything. He makes it convention to you when you have lessons and makes sure you are ready for your test. He is a laid back guy he stays calm no matter how many mistakes you make and will always show you how to do something no matter how many times you ask.

A very enjoyable and comfortable learning experience. I was given a lot of road experience along with learning basic skills to be able to pass as well as learning about safe driving skills and how to deal with certain situations. I am now a confident but cautious driver, which is all down to Mike.

Mike chart is a very reliable driving instructor, as soon as you get in the car with him you always find yourself chatting away none stop making you feel comfortable. Lessons were fitted around times which are best suited to me, this made it easy to organise my lessons in advance, the lessons were very useful and helped me step by step to make me a better driver and to last my test early this year. He is a truly great instructor and will be recommending him to my close friends and family for the near future.

Excellent teaching not just for passing the test but for becoming a good and safe driver all around. Would highly recommend to anybody.

I used Mike Chart as my driving instructor after he was recommended to me by family and friends, he had a great track record of first time passes! i was really keen to pass as quick as i could and he was just great, really friendly and very easy to get on with. I always felt very relaxed when driving with him which ultimately helped me progress quicker with my driving. After just 28 days of driving i passed my test! I highly recommend Mike to anyone who wants to pass there test first time and quickly!!

Hi Mike, I seem to have mislaid your email so here is my testimony: “I chose Mike as an instructor after failing my test several times because his prices were affordable and I simply needed a car to practice in. However what I did not expect was the quality of teaching and support that he provided. As a result, I achieved a very good pass in a very short period of time.” Cheers

I found my learning to drive with you very good and I enjoyed my lessons, although you could sometimes be a bit late or change the lessons times sometimes at short notice, I have recommended you to my brother and some of my friends and other people because I you thought you were a very good instructor.

Being someone who had previous driving experience. I was worried about getting lessons as I was worried that I was going to be told I needed more lessons than I needed,just so someone could make an easy £. But this was not the case with mike chart. He asked if I had previous driving experience and then proceeded to let me drive to see for himself my level of capability. After the first lesson he told me exactly what I needed to do and how long it was going to take. Taking this on board I booked my theory which I might add I passed first time and then booked my practical. After my first lesson I had one more full lesson and one hour before my test itself. Due to mikes honesty and keen eye for what needs to be done for each individual to learn how to drive. I also passed my practical first time with only three minors. Many thanks again mike, oh and I have and will keep on recommending you to my friends. Cheers.

Hi mike hope this is ok …….

When It came to driving he was very flexible with lessons times which was great for me I cannot fault mikes instructing and I would most definitely recommend him to anyone who is after well priced, flexible and enjoyable driving lessons !!!
