What recent successful pupils have said about their learning to drive experience with Kevin Wise:
I didn't know the first thing about driving a car before I started learning with Kev. He was so helpful and great to learn with and the organisation of lesson plans and structure was excellent, helping me to pass first time with only 2 minor faults! There were many things Kev taught me that aren't included on the test but would prepare me for driving in reality on my own. He's a great instructor and funny to be with at the same time. I would highly recommend him to all of my friends!
Samantha, Nantwich, Cheshire
Recently passed the driving test and completed Pass Plus scheme under Kevin's tuition.Enjoyed the learning experience, and benefited from Kevin's high standard of teaching. Had previously taken lessons with another instructor and failed 3 tests. After taking a break, was recommended by a former instructor about Kevin's good reputation. This proved to be true and I would recommend him to anyone seeking a professional, experienced and friendly driving instructor. The Pass Plus course gave me lots of experience covering advanced driving techniques.
Ben, Nantwich, Cheshire
Kevin is a great instructor - he is always patient and helps you to understand exactly how to improve. The lessons are always well planned and supplemented with plenty of learning materials to help. Overall, Kevin is a reliable and supportive instructor and I'd recommend him to anyone.
Oliver, Crewe, Cheshire
I was a bit nervous about learning to drive so I started driving with my dad at first to get used to it. After a while I started to have lessons with Kevin and I found I had nothing to be nervous about.
He has plenty of patience and his teaching techniques make manoeuvres easy to understand and perform. I passed first time with only 25 hours of driving with Kevin and if I can pass in that amount of time with Kev, there's definitely hope for other people!
Overall, I'd definitely recommend trying a lesson with Kevin!
Matt, Whitchurch, Shropshire
I enjoyed my driving lessons with Kev. It was great to learn in a MINI. Kev is a good and patient instructor, who you can also have a laugh with. I felt very comfortable with him and would recommend him to anyone!
James, Whitchurch, Shropshire
Kevin was a very patient and thorough instructor who was always professional, always friendly and great to have a laugh with as well. I now feel very confident knowing that I've been taught thoroughly how to deal with almost every situation in the best way possible and couldn't have passed first time without his help!
Nick, Willaston, Cheshire
A friendly instructor who has a lot of experience which is passed on in a way which appeals to younger people, making lessons an enjoyable experience where you learn a lot just by the enthusiasm of Kevin. Kevin looks to teach the skills of the road which are relevant everyday, rather than just on the day of your test.
All in all, a brilliant instructor who aims for you to do well throughout your driving life.
Dan, Crewe, Cheshire
I've really enjoyed learning to drive with Kevin and have recommended him to lots of my mates. Kevin is a great teacher and he makes learning to drive fun, I'm looking forward to doing my Pass Plus with him.
Craig, Nantwich, Cheshire
Learn in a MINI was for me, an excellent, professional and supportive way to learn to drive. Kev taught me in a way I could easily understand and I progressed quickly. I would advise anyone wanting to learn to drive to learn with Kev as I know I wouldn't have passed first time without his help. I can now feel confident with my driving skills thanks to Kev.
He incorporates different learning techniques and various learning materials that helped me along the way. I would recommend Kev as an instructor to anyone that wants to learn to drive at a high standard and be confident on the roads.
Tori, Nantwich, Cheshire
I was eager to learn to drive, I had started lessons with a previous instructor and took 2 tests which I failed. I decided to change instructors and chose Kevin as I had enjoyed learning in a MINI previously and was impressed by his website. I won a 2 hour lesson and was pleased with Kevin's methods of teaching, I was lacking confidence to drive but I soon became more confident and a much more independant driver. I passed my first test with Kevin with only 3 faults, I was delighted. I would recommend him to anyone, his lessons are planned to suit your driving needs within a relaxed and friendly environment.
Kirsty, Winterley, Cheshire.
I've always wanted to learn to drive but after a brief few lessons with a previous instructor when I was 17 I felt like I wasn't progressing. When it came to learning again, I found Kev through recommendations and won a free 2 hour lesson. This got me back on track and I could tell immediately that learning with Kev was going to be much more comfortable. He taught me every aspect of driving and gave me more confidence. Every lesson was planned the week before so I knew what we would be covering and we always had a laugh which made it less intense. All of which helped, and allowed me to pass first time. I would recommend Learn In A MINI to anyone; for a friendly, relaxed way of learning to drive.
Kayleigh, Nantwich, Cheshire
When turning 17 I wanted to learn how to drive, not only as quick as possible, but to be a perfectly capable driver when passed who could handle any situation thrown at me. With Kev, I felt immediately comfortable and on top of his service being excellent, he never failed to make me laugh and enjoy every lesson. At 6 foot 3 I had no problems getting in the car which was perfect to learn in. To aid my understanding, Kev provided sheets and asked questions to ensure I knew exactly what I was to face and how to deal with it. Even when I made mistakes Kev remained calm and I had no doubt that I had the ability to pass when my test came around. Thanks Kev.
Lee, Nantwich, Cheshire
At 26 I was feeling quite shy having to admit that I knew nothing about driving. Driving was just a mystery to me. Spending the first hour with Kevin was one of the greatest moments in my life as that awkward feeling just vanished within minutes. Kevin boosted my morale and confidence and gave me all the necessary support that was needed in becoming a safe driver. If Kevin Wise tells you "yes you can" then be sure there is nothing that will stop you. If he says it is OK then be sure you can do it.
Kev, I don't not know what words I can use to express the joy I have experienced while learning under your capable hands. You have been an inspiration to my life. It still has not sunk in yet that I passed my test first time and did my first independent drive of 219 motorway miles when collecting my car from Kent!
Gordon, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire
I have been wanting to drive for a long time, when my 17th birthday arrived I asked around and was recommended to use Learn in a MINI. By the end of my first lesson I could tell that Kev was going to be good. He has a great personality & sense of humour and helps you correct any mistakes before your lesson is over. This certainly helped to build my confidence up within the first couple of lessons. As I progressed through my lessons I felt that Kev was the perfect instructor for me.
The unique thing with Kev is he gives you printed information about his car, this means you can continue learning at home. This was one of the key things for me that helped me pass in the 5 months spent with Kev. He is a highly recommended driving instructor and I will recommended him to everybody who asks. Thanks for teaching me Kev, you were brill !
Ash, Newcastle, Staffordshire
After 6 months of driving lessons with a different driving instructor, I switched to Kevin and managed to pass my test first time within 3 months with just one driving fault! He was a great instructor with endless patience who always showed up on time with the car spotless. The lessons were always well planned with a discussion at the end about your strengths and weaknesses, which helped focus you for the next lesson. I am now a safe and confident driver and I would definitely recommend Learn in a MINI to friends!
Erika, Nantwich, Cheshire
When I turned 17 and began driving lessons, I enrolled with a large local driving school. I found the instructor I was given to be very de-motivating, sometimes making me feel upset to the point that I would dread my next driving lesson, thus leading me to give up my lessons for the next 18 months.
When I felt ready to start again, I searched the internet and came across ‘Learn in a MINI’, and decided to give Kev a call. When I began lessons with him, I found Kev to be really pleasant, friendly and approachable. The lessons were extremely motivating; I was actually enjoying learning again! The photographic lesson aids and guides that I was provided with helped me to understand driving in much greater detail, and Kev gave me the confidence and guidance I needed to pass.
Amy, Crewe, Cheshire
When I turned 17 I didn’t feel ready to learn to drive; but after graduating from university learning to do so became a necessity. Kevin was a patient and excellent tutor, who understood that I needed to learn short time scale and around a busy work schedule. He is an expert tutor, who was always well-prepared for lessons. Kevin taught me to do more than just pass my test, and I would, and have, recommended him to anyone who is looking to learn to drive.
Heather, Willaston, Cheshire
'Thanks Kev for all your patient, well planned tuition - passing my test first time came as no real surprise as I knew you had prepared me to be able to achieve it. I really appreciated you being able to accomodate my hectic schedule in organising my lessons and not just teaching me to pass but teaching me to be a driver. I'd definitely recommend 'Learn in a Mini'! Thanks again!'
LeRoy, Nantwich, Cheshire
As soon as I became 17 I wanted to get out on the road and start learning to drive. I was given a suprise lesson on my birthday. I was very impressed with Kevin from the start, not only was his car fantastic to drive but he was an excellent instructor always offering encouragement and advice. I'll certainly recommend Kevin to my friends who are learning to drive as I don't see how you can get anyone better.
Elliot, Sandbach, Cheshire
Our son was desperate to learn to drive as soon as he was 17 and we chose Kevin because he liked MINIs. What an excellent choice we made. Unless you have a recommendation from a friend it is difficult to know who to choose, so it can be a case of pot luck. Throughout though Kevin had a totally professional approach teaching him to drive. Not only does he teach students to pass their driving test, he teaches driving skills for as many different situations as possible so that they able to drive competently and confidently as soon as they have passed their test. On top of this, Kevin arrives on time every time and the MINI is always spotless.
Elliot's parents, Sandbach, Cheshire
Thanks to Kevin, I’ve now passed my driving test with just 1 minor fault! I am so incredibly happy and still in disbelief about this wonderful result. I believe that learning with Kevin has taught me a great preciseness of driving and I have now not just passed my test first time, but I feel in every way confident and have a great knowlegde of driving as a whole. I can recommend Kevin in every sense, for anybody wanting to learn how to drive, not only in a super red MINI but to be trained thoroughly and in depth and to have a very reliable, organised and accurate driving instructor.
Eva, Willaston, Cheshire
Driving lessons were a spur of the moment birthday suggestion, and i'm more than pleased that I was instructed by Kev in a MINI, which was not only nippy, but also a pleasure to drive. His vehemence for driving coupled with his comprehensive programs supported me in making a lifelong accomplishment. Flexibility along with inexhaustible patience contributes to what makes Kev an extraordinary driving instructor in which I would highly commend. Stephen, Crewe, Cheshire
I passed my driving test first time thanks to Kevin and had a fantastic time learning! I would definitely recommend to anyone to learn with Kevin. He's a professional, reliable, very patient and fun driving instructor, who knows how to get the best out of his students.
Abi, Crewe, Cheshire
My first challenge is living abroad with my husband serving in the forces. When i first spoke with Kevin over the phone he was very understanding about my circumstances and assured me that he would be there as long as I needed him.
I first flew back in Nov 07 and had arranged with Kevin to have 17 hours in one week, this was quiet a gruelling task for me as I only had a little bit of driving experience and I was scared stiff of roundabouts as there there aren't very many in Germany.
I wasn't going to let it beat me and after the New Year I called Kevin and asked him to book me in for another 12 hours. I was quiet happy just to get in the car and drive. I still had my bad day when I cried because I got so frustrated with myself but Kevin was there for me all the way. I passed my test with only 6 minor faults.
I love driving now and I know that I wouldn't have been able to do it without Kevin there to support me.
Michelle, BFPO, Germany
I was really nervous about driving for the first time, but all the build up was pointless as I settled in straight away thanks to Kevin. I learnt to drive in 10 weeks on an intensive course with Learn in a MINI and I passed my test first time. I have other commitments and Kevin was great to fit me in for 7am starts, so that I could always finish in time to take care of them. I enjoyed the course so much and every day he was on time and never finishing early (which I've heard is a rarity amongst driving instructors). Each day Kevin would know how to get me warmed up and get the best out of my driving. Each lesson was cleverly planned to ensure that not only did I pass my test, but I also knew how to drive safely afterwards.
I have already recommended Learn in a MINI to many people and will continue to do so, as I would like others to share in the fun, learning to drive experience that I had. I'm looking forward to doing the Pass Plus course with Kevin and will definitely be splashing out on a MINI Cooper some day...the car is just awesome!
Kenny, Crewe, Cheshire
I found Kevin to be an excellent teacher and the MINI an equally good car to learn in. As a 27 year old novice I felt that the rate of progress was always appropriate and steady. Kevin was flexible in his teaching style: when certain problems kept rearing their head this adaptability meant that even the most tricky problems in my driving ironed themselves out through a number of different approaches. Furthermore he was very flexible in the hours and times that we met up - working around my schedule as a full time worker and I always felt the lessons were organised by clear learning objectives. He was good company too - v important in a small car over a large number of hours! I passed first time, right on schedule. Many thanks!
Charlie, Crewe, Cheshire
I live in London and came home to my parent's house to take intensive lessons with Kevin, which was definitely worth it. I have passed my test and recently took and passed Pass Plus. I started off being very nervous of driving but now I am much more confident and feel happy driving around London. I thoroughly enjoyed all my driving lessons because Kevin tailored the lessons to my needs and taught in a fun and informative way. All the lessons were well planed and Kevin kept records so I could see how much I had improved and what I needed to work on. I think Kevin is a really good instructor and the Mini is a really great car to drive so I would definitely recommend Learn in a Mini and taking Pass Plus
Sarah, Crewe, Cheshire
I’d definitely recommend Learn in a MINI to anyone wishing to learn to drive. Kevin is always well-prepared – you really feel like he’s making a real effort to tailor lessons to your specific needs. He’s a very nice chap too, which is very important if you’re going to be spending lots of time with him! The major benefit to me was Kevin’s flexibility when it came to scheduling lessons. I’m an awkward so-and-so with a 9-5 job and busy weekends, but Kevin was happy to fit my lessons around that, even if it did mean starting very early in the morning! I passed my test first time, thanks to Kev ensuring that I was fully prepared for it. The mock tests he uses are really useful for giving an insight into what is expected in the real thing, as well as providing a gauge of your progress
Emma, Newcastle, Staffordshire
I have recently passed my driving test obtaining only 2 minor faults using Kevin as my instructor. I found the teaching very thorough and the step by step photo information sheets were very useful. Kevin quickly identifies aspects of driving performance requiring attention and is clear in his instruction explaining patiently what is required.
Amie, Willaston, Cheshire
I started learning how to drive with Kevin 3 months ago. He was always on time for lessons and came well prepared. I was very nervous to start with but Kevin had the ability to put me at ease and calm me down very quickly, he was very patient and understanding. He was able to address any concerns I had professionally. With Kevin’s help I quickly overcame my anxiety and gradually gained confidence on the roads. As well as preparing me for a Driving Test he taught me how to drive on all types of roads. I felt well prepared for my test, which I passed first time with only one minor fault. I would certainly recommend Kevin to anyone thinking of Learning to drive, and I am looking forward to completing Pass Plus with him.
Stephen, Willaston, Cheshire
"In three months I went from never sitting behind the wheel of a car to test standard and I passed first time thanks to Kevin. I felt like I could talk to him about any concerns and he would be understanding and help me through them. The well thought out lessons were most enjoyable and I look forward to completing Pass Plus with Learn in a MINI. I would (and will) definitely recommend Kevin to anyone looking to start driving lessons."
Scott, Willaston, Cheshire
" Kevin Wise is a dedicated and professional driving instructor with the patience of a saint. He is reliable, always in a good mood and totally down to earth which was extremely helpful, particularly as I was a nervous learner driver. One of the most valuable things about his lessons is that not only does he train you to pass a test but he also trains you to be able to drive in the real world after passing your test (which is somewhat different). With Kev's help I went on to pass my test first time and believe me, if he can teach me to do it, he can teach anyone to do it. I totally recommend him to anyone."
Daniel, Keele, Staffs.
" I could definitely recommend Kevin as a driving instructor. He was always punctual, reliable and well prepared for the lesson. He covered all aspects to do with the theory and practical tests. I would also recommend the Pass Plus, the experience and confidence it gave me was fantastic"
Sarah, Nantwich, Cheshire
"He was very helpful in the important manoeuvres and was professional in the way he goes about his work. I felt like I had made a new friend, as I could talk to him about anything. I would happily 100% recommend anyone to take lessons from Kevin"
Simon, Winsford, Cheshire
"Thanks for teaching my son Ben and getting him to pass his test with you, as they say if you want the job done properly...call the professionals...and this proves it."
Alan, Crewe, Cheshire
