Nigel is a very knowledgeable and patient driving instructor. He is a quick at assessing your skills and customize the lessons to meet your needs. I have been driving for 15+ years in the US and i wanted to take lessons to be more aware of what to expect by driving on the other side of the road and practice manual driving. Nigel was great in giving me the right tips, from clutch control to road tips and i ended up passing the test from the first time. I highly recommend him as an instructor to anyone that wants to learn in a safe and helpful environment!

When choosing my driving instructor I trawled the internet to find someone who was very well qualified (only DVSA “A” graded would do), well reviewed and good value for money. Nigel is all of this things and more. What is most useful is that Nigel teaches you to be a good driver rather than just teaching you how to pass a certain test centre route. I was SO nervous for my test but Nigel sat there with me, calmed me down and didn’t belittle my feelings of trepidation. Nigel is patient, kind and the utmost professional. I don’t have a bad word to say about him. Thank you for your help, Nigel.

Nigel,
I thought that your instruction was spot on. You were able to access my driving ability and focus on changing the areas (bad habits) that would be detrimental to my road test. Your calm demeanor made me feel relaxed and your professionalism allowed me to feel confident in my driving ability. One time you manually corrected my driving but you did it in a way not to startle me but to make the correction and ensure that we were driving safely. The two hour session was tremendous useful because you showed me not only the things that I needed to work on but also the scenarios that would be part of the road test...and many were part of the test. Your appearance and vehicle is professional. I would highly recommend you to anyone that is looking to learn or become a better driver

I want to thank Nigel for being patient with me during all the lessons. He is extremely knowledgeable, very calm and has no pre-conceived notions of your driving. It is quite clear from the start that he genuinely wants to ensure that you not only pass the test but are a good driver for the future. I always enjoyed the classes with him and he always found ways of keeping every class interesting.

Having Nigel from Cullens Driving School really helped to fill in the gaps of knowledge I was missing and to improve on what I was taught wrongly by my previous instructor. He is very easy and nice to talk to, which helps when I am a bit confused on what to do about my driving and I couldn’t recommend him enough as he has helped me become more confident in driving in a stressful city such as London. On a personal level he is a very nice person to have learnt from, he helped me to not over think situations and I’ll be sure to recommend him in the future.

Nigel is a driving instructor who I would recommend to anybody. I struggled with driving at first but he was always understanding, calm and helped to build my confidence. I experienced some frustration as driving didn’t come easily to me but he was always patient. Nigel is dedicated to what he does and goes by the book, so I know I have a strong foundation to ensure I am a safe driver moving forwards. Thank you!

First of all, Nigel is a great instructor. He is calm and patient, and listened to my needs, creating a programme of lessons that helped me pass my test first time. Having learned to drive on the right, and not having driven for the last 16 years, Nigel not only encouraged me, he also gave me the confidence I needed to drive on the left, in busy, narrow London streets, that I never thought I would be able to. Thanks Nigel!

What My Students Are Saying

/

Nigel is a fantastic tutor, tailoring lessons to your learning style. Lessons are typically longer at 2hrs, giving more time to embed learning and build confidence quicker, thus resulting in going to test quicker. Nigel teaches you to drive safely, not just to pass the test. And, as an LGBTQ tutor, it put me at ease without having to worry about 'that' conversation.

I would wholeheartedly recommend LGBTQ Drive
Nigel was an excellent instructor. Clear, patient and extremely knowledgeable, I ended every lesson feeling as though I had made solid progress. I was eager to pass quickly, but also to pass as a safe driver and Nigel was the perfect instructor for this. I never felt as though I was being charged for lessons I didn’t need, but I also appreciated his candour and expertise around choosing when to go to test. And he was right as I passed first time!
On a personal level, he’s a pleasure to be in a car with and always did his best to be flexible on lesson timings when my work schedule inevitably changed.

I was super nervous to start learning to drive but Nigel was very supportive and calm, going at a pace that suited me. I really appreciated that there was no pressure to take my test before I felt comfortable doing so, which is probably why I passed first time! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone, he's a great teacher and a lovely guy. I actually enjoy driving now which is not something I ever thought I would say!

I started to learn to drive again with Nigel after a break of 25 years (getting your dad to teach you is probably not the best thing to do!) I was nervous to start with. We had approximately 22 hours of lessons and I passed first time round. Nigel is an excellent driving instructor, professional, friendly and he tailored my lessons to meet my specific needs to ensure I passed. I’d strongly recommend him.

I went with Nigel at the LGBTQ Drive because I was recommended due to his patience and his ability to instil confidence in me to pass my test and this is what happened. He is patient and thorough in explaining how things are to drive to pass my test. I am happy and feel I chose well with each lesson I felt I was getting closer to test. I would be happy to recommend him to others. Thanks Nigel.

Nigel is the best kind of instructor: knowledgeable, calm, patient and encouraging. Not only did he help me pass the test but his focus on good driving habits will stay with me for the long term. Can’t recommend him highly

Spent a fantastic hour with Nigel today and I've FINALLY learnt how to parallel park without trashing my alloys. Better late than never. Straighten the wheels, one full turn, shrink the triangle, two more turns, in he goes!

Matt took refresher lessons on parking and nailed it after 1 hour

I’d highly recommend LGBTQ Drive for anyone but especially for those who feel intimidated by the ‘blokey’ culture of driving as I was. Nigel’s patient, accommodating and friendly approach meant I could stop worrying, be myself and focus on learning. His great teaching helped me to pass my test first time!

I chose Nigel based on the outstanding reviews on his website and social media and I’m please to say he exceeded what I’d read about him.
He was always professional, calm and friendly.
I feel confident he has taught me to be a competent and safe driver which I’m incredibly grateful for.
I can’t recommend him highly enough!
