If you’re reading this review just book already! Tim is such an outstanding instructor, can’t recommend him highly enough. Apart from being an absolute legend, he is a dedicated professional, a clear communicator, and is sure to instil confidence and the skills to get your license. The booking system is so easy to use and have your lessons organised in the click of a few buttons- only choose Tim at Detour Driving School if you want to get your license sooner than you thought you could!

I’m a relatively nervous driver and always lacked confidence behind the wheel. I began lessons with Tim after having him recommended and just after one lesson I began to feel so much more calm and at ease with driving. With his questionable dad jokes that are a guaranteed laugh and his excellent teaching skills, I cannot recommend him enough! I’m so grateful I was able to do my lessons with him.

Tim was the best driving instructor I could have hoped for. Took me from being scared of driving to passing the VORT. I cannot recommend him enough.

Tim was a great driving instructor very patient and easy to learn from. With his help I was able to pass my Vort test within 6 weeks from my first lesson. At first I was very nervous to drive in someone else’s car but he made it a safe space for learning with the occasional bad dad joke. Thank you Tim!! 🙂
