— Zara“Richard provided 3 lessons for my son before his driving test. I would recommend him to anyone, and plan to use him again for my other sons when the time comes. Richard’s kind and unassuming manner immediately had his respect of my son, who described him as ‘a good guy’ (high praise from 17/18 year old!). He taught my son everything he needed to know for his test and he passed first time. I also found Richard’s communication efficient, timely and thorough.”

— Natalie“Richard at Leap Drive School has been the best part of Finn’s learner driver experience. Affordable, consistent and kind, Richard connected with Finn in a way that made lessons a much anticipated and enjoyable part of the experience. Richard was flexible with pick-up and drop-off each week and ultimately saw Finn through to the end of his test, even waiting with him until he got the final verdict! You really can’t ask for more from a learner/teacher partnership… thanks Richard and Leap Drive School: We’ll be back with our next learner driver!”
