Kevin, his self is a legend and funny guy to be around done really good teaching and helps you where it's needed most.
Gave me confidence. Passed my restricted test on the first try.
Hi Kevin, I've been meaning to email you and thank you very much for taking my daughter Amber for driving lessons, leading to her sitting and passing the first time, her restricted drivers licence. She was very nervous the day of her test, and I thought she might not pass the first time due to her nerves. You thought your years of driver training helped to get her focus on the task at hand and she was thrilled to pass. Thanks again for your help. She is loving her independence now.
I chose Kevin Bannan Driver Tuition because my friends said they are locals with a great reputation and I'm so glad I did! Thank you for getting me through the test the first time and for making the process so enjoyable.
After trying many different instructors, I found Kevin the best. He was firm but understanding and told me where I had made mistakes and where I needed to practice/concentrate more.
Very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Highly recommend, awesome instructor.
