Chris Barker Automatic Driving Lessons

Chris is an absolute saint! Coming from a bad experience with my first instructor, Chris is the most calming and kind teacher I have ever had. He is so lovely and so encouraging, I don't think I ever could have passed without him. He made lessons genuinely enjoyable and learning with him has been such a confidence boost for me. Thank you so much, Chris, never would have thought I would like driving if it wasn't for you. :) Update [06.02.23]: Just shy of two months after passing my test and I...

Chris is an excellent teacher. I passed my test yesterday after having lessons for about one year with Chris and the transformation in my driving ability and mindset has been amazing! I started out as a very nervous driver, dreading even the thought of driving, but through Chris' great teaching, patience and sense of humour I have gained confidence and the ability to drive safely and with enjoyment! Thank you Chris!

I will be forever grateful! Thanks so much Chris I will miss our less...

Today I passed my test first time - before my lessons with Chris I was starting to give up hope. He’s so great at his job I made a Google account...

Yesterday I passed my driving test first time with only two minors! I wouldn’t have been able to pass first time if it wasn’t for Chris. He is an amazing instructor who is very patient and builds your confidence right from the start. Whenever I struggled or doubted myself , Chris managed to put my mind at ease by explaining manoeuvres, roundabouts and how to deal with uncertain situations in a calm and clear manner. If you are looking for a driving instructor I would highly recommend him, esp...
