Try keeping the paragraph short and breaking off the text-only areas of your page to keep your website interesting to visitors.
My standard lesson length is 90 minutes, I find this to be the most productive and long term should save you money, however I will do 1 and 2 hour lessons if required. You will be taught using the latest technology, with video briefings on an iPad, Briefings can be emailed to pupils upon request. A free lesson report will be filled in during every lesson, helping both you and your instructor to enhance learning. Although I follow the driving standards agency (DVSA) syllabus I will tailor the lessons to your individual needs.

Daren is the best instructor that I could have asked for. He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which allowed me to be relaxed when driving and become more confident. I always looked forward to my weekly driving lessons, knowing that in between them if I had a question I could contact him and he would get back - very reliable. Daren goes through all driving techniques and maneuvers step by step allowing you to fully understand how to complete them safely and efficiently. I have enjoyed my time learning with Daren and both me and my brother who have passed first time with him would recommend him to anyone who is learning how to drive.

Daren was always so calm - as an older, very nervous driver he put me at ease and made it possible for me to pass my test - something I never thought would be possible. I would recommend Daren to anyone wanting to learn - I've avoided doing the test for so long, but managed to pass the first time I booked in after learning with Daren. Thank you for everything

I had a rollercoaster of a journey learning to drive around university and Darren managed to turn a negative experience into something positive. He was able to improve my confidence as a driver within a short time frame. I would defiantly recommend and look forward to potentially doing the pass plus with Darren in the future.

I have really enjoyed my time learning with Diamond driving school. Daren has helped me grow to become a confident driver and has always been positive about my driving abilities. I would highly recommend going with this driving school as I have always had quality lessons that were well worth the money. Daren made me more than prepared for my test and made me feel comfortable in every lesson!

Learning to drive with Daren was a pleasure. He was always there to answer any questions and give reassurance, he made sure i was test ready for me to pass first time, he helped me build my confidence up and he was always brilliant at keeping my nerves down and staying calm. I Highly recommend Daren if learning to drive, I couldn't of passed first time in the snow without everything he taught me. Thank you so much!

I loved learning to drive with Daren! I was really nervous about learning to drive and Daren was the perfect instructor for me - calm, patient, great at explaining how to do everything and brilliant company along the way. I'm so thrilled to have passed my driving test today with only one minor and I can't thank Daren enough for all his help and support along the way. I'm looking forward to starting the Pass Plus course next week!

I decided to use Diamond Driving after having many tests and struggling to pass. The service I received was excellent, the car was great to drive in and I learnt lots of new things that I never knew before! Aswell as that I finally passed my test within a matter of a few lessons! I would highly recommend using Diamond Driving. 5 stars
