it takes away the stress and helps you enjoy it. its easier to learn
while your having fun. thanks Nick. passed first time :)"

"I have just recently passed my driving test under the tuition of Nick at Off shores driving school. It has been a long and windy road for
me trying to get this test passed, I have endured 7 previous attempts
with another driving school and had terrible trouble dealing with
nerves. However with nicks professional relaxed atmosphere that he
brings in to his lessons, I was able to calm myself down and learn how to
drive in a safe and enjoyable manner that then resulted in me grabbing
my license.I would recommend Off shores to anyone who struggles with nerves as well as
first timers. I'm telling you if you want to learn to drive Nicks your
man!"

"Absolutely first class, fun and yet constructive. Having had my driving
license revoked, and trauma filled memories of my last driving
instructor i turned to Nick, who seemed far too young and happy to be an
instructor, however with his help i passed with just 5 minors after
just a couple of weeks. I'd recommend him to anyone, he made the hours
pass by in no time, and even drilled a lot of safety into me. You won't
regret passing with Off shores."

"I turned 17 in late 2009, and started learning when I could around
school hours with A large national school. My instructor there was
nearly deaf, and his 35 years experience was beginning to show (on the
car which was littered with dandruff). First test May 2010 - miserable
failure. Having to postpone more lessons until after AS exams, I
decided to ditch the old driving school, and Nick came highly
recommended by my mate Harry. The first thing that was different about
Nick was that he broke what I had cast as the mould of all driving
instructors, based on my previous experience. He was interesting to talk
to with a good sense of humour. Asides from becoming a friend, in the
10 hours tuition Nick taught me what my previous instructor had failed
to do with a relaxed but, when necessary, firm, hand. I always looked
foreword to the driving lessons. I passed late Summer with only 4
minors. Thank you Nick!! I cannot recommend him more, he has a brilliant
teaching method, is always understanding and, will get you that
license!! I will be definitely be taking my Pass Plus with him in
October."

"I had just about had enough of learning to drive earlier this year, as I was
learning with a company who had knocked my confidence and I was thinking of
giving up. Then I had a lesson with Nick from Offshore driving tuition and
within three months I had passed my driving test! Within that three months I had
got my confidence back and enjoyed learning to drive all over again. I did fail
my first test but Nick gave me the support and encouragement to put in for the
second test a month later where I passed. Nick's way of teaching was for his
pupil to feel relaxed and comfortable in any situation, never shouting or making
you feel anxious. He is a very friendly person, always with a big smile on his
face, patient and very placid. He will take time to make sure you always feel in
control of the car and ready for when you go it alone after passing your
test."

"Nick was recommend to me by my partner. From the first lesson I knew
that he was a 'different' sort of instructor. Nick made me feel relaxed
and always gave me the best advice he could and always took time to
explain things properly. Nick is professional but relaxed so his methods
were perfect for my improvement. THIS IS THE PLACE TO LEARN TO
DRIVE!!!. Passed first time with 3 minors. Thanks Nick!"

"Having
had 25 lessons with a previous Instructor learning to drive at the age of 35, I
can honestly say has been the hardest thing I have ever done.
My
confidence was at its lowest ever and I could never have envisioned taking my
driving test, let alone conceive of passing.
After
not driving for almost 5 weeks I finally plucked up the courage and started to
take lessons again with Nick and soon started to enjoy driving
and to get my confidence back.
Nick
is a very motivational and an inspiring person and finally I could see myself
taking the test and passing.
I
have now passed my test but more importantly Nick has installed a
very safe driving Etiquette and a good solid grounding to handle a variety of
driving Situations. Cheers
Nick"

"I learnt to drive
with nick, thoroughly enjoyed it because nick is so relaxed with the way
he teaches, I felt very comfortable when I was learning. Nick was very
good with the way he taught me the manouveres and didn't take me long to
perfect them. it was only 3 weeks and 2 days after my 17th birthday
that i passed my test, i passed first time with all thanks to nick :) !!"
Ross Williams
"I learnt to drive with Nick and found his teaching style faultless.
Every lesson maintained a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere which made
the different aspects of driving so much easier to learn. I have no
issue whatsoever in recommending Offshores to anyone who wishes to learn
with an instructor who looks into any situation with excellent humour
and will make you feel totally safe behind the wheel in any given
circumstance. Cheers Nick, you’re a star!!"
Meg Stevens
"I always expected that I would hate my driving lessons. My brother had
hated his first teacher with a passion and none of my friends ever had
anything very positive to say about there’s. I would hear them all dread
their driving lessons, find excuses not to have to go, and paint a
thoroughly miserable picture of the whole experience. They were all
astonished when I started driving that not only did I enjoy them but I
looked forward to them. Nick made driving so much fun, he is a brilliant
teacher and lovely to talk to, and as much as I love having my license
now I genuinely miss having that hour or two a week. I’d recommend him
to anyone and look forward to doing my past plus with him."
Kate Williams
"Nick’s driving tuition was fantastic. After deciding driving
wasn’t for me at 17, 5 years later I decided to give it another crack. This
time with Nick’s laid back but informative approach; I quickly gained
confidence behind the wheel and managed to pass first time. But most
importantly Nick makes sure his students feel comfortable and enjoy the experience
of learning to drive, which I certainly did. I highly recommend Nick Wilkinson
and Off Shores. Thanks Nick!"
