Letter from one of our customers

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that i have recently passed my driving test through your company. My instructor was Andy Lewis. I would just like to let you know that i was extremely impressed by the high standard of tuition from Andy. His patience and tolerance during lessons was commendable and at times when it felt like i was never going to get things right he was encouraging and supportive. I'm sure the fact that Andy is able to adapt his style of teaching to the individual and their needs helps enormously.

Based my experience with Andy i wouldnt hesitate to recomend your company to any friends and family that are considering driving lessons.

Thanks again and please pass on my most sincere thanks to Andy.

Kind regards,

Diane Youds

1st Call Driving instructor Liverpool

Hi,

My name is Brian Smith and I'm a 1st call Driving Schools Instructor. I cover North Liverpool, Crosby, Maghull , Formby and Southport.

I'm from the North East of England and have been driving for over 24 years.

I worked as a test driver for Nissan but due to boredom I sought a more challenging career. I have been a driving instructor for 4 years now which provides a high level of job satisfaction. The best things about the job are the flexibility and watching peoples faces when they pass their test. My hobbies are art and photography. I always carry a camera in case the perfect shot presents itself.

My pass rate is well above the national average and I aim to get pupils to test standard in the shortest possible time.

If you would like to book driving lessons with me please visit http://www.1st-call.co.uk/ for driving lessons in liverpool, Crosby, Maghull and Formby.
