Going in to my driving test I was very nervous but it was all made better knowing that I was as prepared as I could be. Dean really helped me throughout my whole learning to drive experience and on my one and only test I passed first time. Thanks for all your help!

I must say that Barrie was the most patient instructor and was very helpful in my attempt to get my licence so I can get a car for my disabled wife. I'm glad to say I passed first time with Barrie and only 5 minors. I would recommend anyone wanting to learn to drive to use Mirrors. Once again thank you Barrie for all your help.

Hi Theresa, I found Mirrors on the web while looking for driving schools, Mirrors stood out to me, all the instructors look friendly and helpful. I decided to give them a call. I went with Theresa, she has endless patience and an excellent instructor. Made me feel very comfortable and confident, thoroughly enjoyed the time i spent in the car learning. I was sad to think i wont be seeing you any more.  I would highly recommend you to anybody that wants to learn.

I would like to thank you for getting me through my test 1st time with only 3 minors. FANTASTIC SCHOOL

Thanking you,

Hi Barrie, I would like to thank-you for all the handy tips and good advice, that you gave me while I was learning to drive. The calm and reassuring way that you helped me, to correct any little mistakes that I made along the way and ultimately to successfully pass my driving test first time, with you. I have already recommended you to a friend at work and she should be in touch with you, if she hasn't already.   

I got my 4x4 Saturday week ago, from a family in Dunstable and I love it!!!

Thanks again, take care and all the best.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Barrie . He is a wonderful instructor. I passed the driving test first attempt under his guidance. ... he made the whole experience an enjoyable and memorable one. I felt comfortable whilst learning to drive with him. I will definitely recommend him (Mirrors) to my friends in the future.

Thanks Dean for teaching me how to drive. The lessons were great and you were so friendly and helpful. The standard of teaching was of such high-quality, I couldn’t have asked for more. I would recommend Mirrors School of Motoring to all my friends as I passed my driving test first time with only 1 minor.

Thanks again.

Chris Reynolds (passed 1st time with only 1 minor), Luton, 11th July 2009

Not only did I pass my test 1st TIME I did it with NO MINORS!!!

Thanks to Barrie, his patience and excellent teaching, I was able to overcome my fear of driving.

I had previously had a bad experience with an instructor from another school which had put me off driving for a very long time, but with Barrie's constant support and reassurance I was able to pass my driving test within three months and with flying colours. I am now looking forward to booking my pass plus lessons with him to further my driving knowledge.

I have recommended him to close friends and would recommend him to anybody who wants to learn in an automatic car.

Karen Williams, Luton, 26th June 2009

Thank you Dean for getting me to where I am now. I wouldn't have been able to do it if wasn't for your patience. I would highly recommend lessons with Dean.

'I've really enjoyed my lessons with Dean. He always stays calm, even when I made a bad mistake. Because of this I was always very relaxed during my lessons. I can recommend you all to take lessons from Dean!'

Thank you to Theresa for helping me towards my ADI Part 2. I found Theresa very helpful & understanding and her advice was excellent.

Thank you Dean also for his support and the brilliant tips given.

I would definitely recommend Mirrors School of Motoring for their great teaching & techniques.

Thank you for being so patient with me and getting me through it today *hugs*

I came across Mirrors through trawling the web,  and am so happy that I went with this school of motoring.  Theresa was a fantastic instructor.  I was a little nervous as I hadn’t had lessons for many years,  but with her patience and professionalism,  as well as friendly banter and charm,  I hit my target precisely when I wanted to and passed both my theory and practical tests first time.  She always had faith in my abilities and this rubbed off on me.  Thank you so much Theresa,  I would recommend you to anyone,  anytime,  it has been great fun learning with you and I will miss you,  although I suspect you will have a quieter life from here on in.

Lisa Ware,  Luton, 29th May 2009

A big thank you to Dean at Mirrors School of Motoring for being patient with me and seeing me through my Part 2 Driving Ability test. I really couldn’t have done it without your perseverance and calm professional  attitude.

This is a career change for me and although at times I have felt unsure and apprehensive I know I am in the right hands. Looking forward to tackling Part 3  !!!

Theresa was a great instructor who taught me all the driving skills I need now when driving.   She made sure I passed quickly but at the same time teaching me how to drive very well and in the end passing first time with no minor faults at all!  I would recommend her to anyone who want to start learning to drive.

Sean Kia,  Luton,  15th May 2009

Theresa was my fourth instructor and when she came to assess me I was with my second motoring school...   We got off to a good start and I really felt like the things that had appeared to be so difficult were corrected overnight with Theresa’s genuine encouragement to achieve...   Theresa sat in with me [on the test] and it spurred me on all the more to have her supporting me and being able to show her and the invigilator I could do it.   I think I’d still be taking lessons if Theresa hadn’t offered to take me on as a student and would suggest that anyone go to her no matter of ability because she works wonders!

“Dean was an amazing instructor, with all the patience in the world. He taught me in the way that I best learn, and made me feel at ease while driving. He did everything he could to make sure I passed and pass well. He's such a brilliant driving instructor I would recommend him to anyone.”

Jenni Williams, 11 November 2008

"I began my driving lessons with Barrie in August 2008 and passed my test only two months later, I have since completed my Pass Plus with Barrie and was very happy with the instruction I received".

Todd Beasley-Webb, Mangrove, Hertfordshire, 6th October 2008

“I am so pleased that I picked Mirrors School of Motoring and would not hesitate to recommend them. Like a lot of mums, I’ve struggled with the shopping - in the rain - with the kids! I decided that I’d had enough and contacted Dean. Not only did I pass first time but also went on to do Pass Plus. Now I have the ability to get my own business up and running. Thank you so much Dean, keep up the good work!”

Sharon Thompson, Luton 28th September 2008

“Learning to drive with Mirrors was an absolute pleasure. Dean is very professional and helps you to relax even when you are feeling under pressure. It was essential that I passed first time due to work commitments and within a few months I had passed both Theory and Practical tests. I have also completed Pass Plus which has been extremely beneficial. I have already recommended Mirrors to my neighbour!! Thanks very much Dean!”

Andrew Thomson 18th May 2008

“Just a few lines to thank you for managing to get Corrina through her test on her first attempt. It is a tribute to your teaching skills and as we didn’t get to see you following the test on Monday I felt I would write to show my appreciation. Corrina is thrilled to be driving ‘solo’ at last. I wish you continued success.”

Mr Davie, 24th April 2008

“We were very pleased with Dean’s teaching. Our daughter has poor co-ordination and had been convinced by a previous instructor that she would be better only driving an automatic. This was very unhelpful to her potential progress, especially given the fact that her siblings had all learned to drive manual vehicles.

Dean was patient, clear, supportive, kept us all engaged, and eventually chalked up another success. Our daughter has now been out driving and loves it and is keen to take Pass Plus with Dean and get some motorway practice in. To us it is a huge success and we are so grateful.

We were keen to give this testimonial which for obvious reasons can only be made anonymously.”

“I have just passed my driving test after about 3 months of lessons with mirrors. I really enjoyed learning to drive with Dean, he is a very understanding teacher, with high quality skills and pushes you to a level that you find most comfortable yet challenging.”

Jonny Pool, 17th April 2008


Ÿ
“Learning to drive with Dean was an absolute pleasure. The lessons were always very enjoyable largely due to the time that Dean spent making sure he was teaching me in a way that I was comfortable with and felt was the most constructive. Dean was calm at all times during the lessons which helped me to relax and deal with the more stressful aspects of driving more easily. At the end of each lesson we would discuss what went well and not so well and come up with a plan for the next lesson, all of this was written down on a sheet to take away which I found very helpful as it enabled me to remember exactly what we had done in the lesson and to think about what I was going to do in the next lesson before I got into the car again. I would recommened Dean to anyone who is planning to learn to drive and I am sure they would enjoy being behind the wheel as much as I did.”

John Kendrick, 14th February 2008

“Dean was an excellent driving instructor and helped me to go from theory test pass to practical pass in just 2 months! I found the car really easy to use and made the driving so much more enjoyable than other cars I have driven in. Dean's teaching methods were suited to my needs, which I know from being a teacher myself, is very important for every learner. The two hour lessons were also very helpful because you can learn so much more..and actually remember it for the next lesson! Thanks again Dean.”

“A professional and friendly experience. Thanks a lot Dean, I don't think I would have passed without your amazing teaching capabilities.”

“Dean was a really good instructor, unlike other instructors I've heard of he is nice all the time. He won't lose it just because you slip up, he's patient and helps you to improve on the next try. Dean tried to understand how I learn best then tried to teach me that way, he didn't just tell me what to do, he showed me then left it up to me as to when we should move on. It was very much all up to me. He was my one and only instructor, he gave me no reason to want to switch, he was really really great at helping me pass first time! Pick Dean.”

“Thank you for your excellent driving tuition. You did not only teach the skills required for driving, but you also taught me how to believe in myself and helped to engender confidence in an otherwise very nervous person.

I strongly believe that I would not have achieved my goal of attaining a driving licence without your professional but friendly tuition. During the assessment lesson, you assessed my preferred learning style and I quickly realised that your manner of teaching would suit my personality. You have strong personal values and high standards of teaching which I truly appreciate.”

Alison Alleyne, Leagrave, Luton, 2 October 2006

“I would recommend mirrors to anyone, I have spent years and endless lessons with time-wasting instructors, that is until I met Dean and Dale from Mirrors. Take it from me, it worked as they are the professionals. They have done the impossible for me in a short time. Try them, you won't be disappointed.”

Susie Nawagamuawag, Luton, 7/6/06 by email

“Thank you for all your excellent teaching, you always said you would get me through my driving test…every lesson I had was informative and enjoyable. When we went for the driving test we prayed for peace. It’s the first week of being a fully qualified driver and I actually feel at peace. Thank you for everything. Take care. May God bless you and your family.”
