Can't recommend Nigel enough. As an older learner I was terrified of the process of learning to drive but Nigel was consistently calm, clear and gave me confidence every lesson. Thanks for teaching me to drive Nigel!!

I thoroughly recommend Nigel to anyone learning to drive (he covers Gateshead, Prudhoe, Hexham etc). I found him to be an experienced, diligent, sincere, friendly and approachable Instructor. He trained and prepared me in a way I felt comfortable when going to the test, leading to a great ‘Pass’ with one minor, and Nigel did this with minimum required lessons.

I am an experienced driver, new to the UK and found Nigel by searching the DVSA site and then reading some reviews. My previous instructor was killing my confidence with his style, lack of preparation & care. Nigel reinstated my confidence almost immediately with his calm positive training, method and empathy. He was never one minute late and never rushed away. His training is absolutely worth the time and money which is £24 per hour in January 2020 and he accommodates even evenings, holidays and weekends at the same rate. Thank you Nigel!

Fantastic driving instructor- really patient and explains things so clearly. The lessons are always so productive and I notice an improvement every lesson. I started off so nervous behind the wheel but I'm now soon going to book my test. Would highly recommend Nigel Wright.
