Tony is an exceptional driving instructor. His updates and app monitoring keep the student and parents up to date on progress. My son liked Tony very much and enjoyed his company, respecting his advice. My son started with another instructor and Tony picked up the pieces. Tony is expensive – but you get what you pay for and he offers multi lesson deals that are more competitive. My son learnt to drive in about 9 months.
