Thanks to barry at no gear I passed 1st time. Really easy to work with thanks so much

A big thanks to Barry at No Gears.. Always accommodating to put me in around my shifts. Barry is a great role model for instructors. I had a couple of bad lessons from previous companies but I so glad I picked Barry at No Gears. He taught me showing true understanding and honesty which is hard to find. I would recommend without a shadow of a doubt.

Bill from no gears is fantastic! I was so anxious during lessons and tests but he really put me at ease and got me through it all! Fantastic instructor, couldn’t recommend him enough!

Huge recommendation for Rob from No Gears if you live in the North East. I passed last week thanks to his patience, encouragement and teaching. I was quite anxious when I started driving with Rob and he put me at ease and helped make me feel more confident behind the wheel. Lessons were fun and relaxed too!

My driving instructor was Barry he was a really nice and polite man. It was my first time learning to drive in a long time . He explained everything to me clearly at all time took to time to help me build up my confidence when driving was always patient with me at all time if I did not understand anything he would explain it to me to make sure I understood. I would highly recommend this company to anyone amazing .🚗😀👍🏾

Firstly, I would just like to thank my driving instructor Ron Richardson, who I’ve been with since June 2019, he is by far the nicest man I have ever met. Put me at ease straight away, isn’t strict and teaches you everything you need to know before going in for your test. I can honestly say I wouldn’t of passed without Ron. Thank you so much for your hard work and having the patience of a saint. If you live in the Liverpool area I would highly recommend taking lessons with Ron.

I passed my driving test today with the help of Carl from no gears. He was an excellent instructor I can’t thank him enough for his help and support throughout my lesson’s. He made ever lesson knowledgable and interesting and put me at ease from the moment I got in the car. Thank you Carl :)

Passed today with Rob being a great instructor. I changed to him from a previous instructor and can say is 100% professional and explained what I was struggling with. If you live in the North East this man is definitely worth a shout to get through your test. I am 1 happy ex pupil now due to him.

Passed my test today all thanks to rob can not fault him very kind, genuine and makes you feel comfortable i was a nervous driver and had a bad experience in the past with a different driving school but rob is an absolute fantastic bloke would highly recommend to everyone I know thank you again rob 👍👍👍

Couldn’t recommend Rob highly enough! Passed first time today after Rob made learning to drive a relaxed and enjoyable experience. He is patient, reassuring and an excellent instructor. Thanks again :)

I have achieved something I never dreamt I would at my age but thanks to my instructor Rob at South Shields my life will change beyond recognition. From having never sat in the drivers seat until earlier this year to passing with 1 minor fault at the age of 48, I couldn't have achieved this without Rob's support. A genuinely nice fella that puts you at ease from the first lesson he is patient and has a great way of getting his learning across. Rob's personable approach meant that lessons were enjoyable as well as instructive. In addition No Gears were extremely easy to do business with. If you are thinking about it, do it!! You're never too old.

Being a highly anxious driver, I cannot recommend Dean from 'No gears' in the St Albans area enough. Not only is he a pleasant and interesting person, he made me feel instantly more at ease than I ever thought I would be while driving. After 2.5 months of driving lessons I managed to pass the practical exam at first go. A patient yet clear driving instructor who prepares you both for the test and to drive properly going forward.

Just passed first time with rob burden can not thank him enough from my first lesson he had the patience of a saint lol thank you she much rob x

I just wanted to say a BIG Thankyou to Rob Burden.. He truly is an amazing instructor especially if your a nervous driver.

Hooray!.... we finally did it, still in a state of shock!... many thanks for your ongoing encouragement and patience.

Big shout out to Rob Burden, after what probably felt like a long 7 weeks to him im pleased to say with his expertise and amazing teaching i passed my test 1st time this morning! If you're in the North East Rob is the guy to see. Im hard work he'll agree but hes nothing short of AMAZING thank you rob WE did it

I was bought a gift voucher for no gears for my birthday and booked my first lesson. The instructor that arrived was arrogant, quite negative (even after explaining my driving history and why I’d stopped learning etc.) really unprofessional and after my first lesson forced me to book a 2 hour lesson even though I expressed I couldn’t do this due to having a disabled child. He clearly just wanted my money! This really made me uneasy and after fretting over the really bad experience, I rang the office who changed my instructor to the lovely Jim! What a complete breath of fresh air that man is! Complete polar opposite to the first person I encountered. He listened to me, gave me constructive feedback and saw the potential I had and pushed me to achieve my goals and it showed - I passed with zero minors! Jim saved my experience with No Gears because I was genuinely ready to walk away from the gift voucher and go elsewhere due to the first instructors attitude and approach to teaching. Thank you Jim so much for believing in me and making me believe in myself! You’re a true diamond and I’m forever grateful to you! Take note no gears - Jim saved this review from being very different!

I don’t recommend this school to anyone in the world! I am a driver and eager to learn GB rules for Safe driving and the the tricks at the exam. But every time I give it a go it turnes out a stress for me. I am positive about constructive criticism and help BUT no instructor should allow himself shouting and getting annoyed. It’s hard work and my advice for teachers is to be patient or not enrol in this job. We pay money for practising and making mistakes and your task is to explain and give as much trial as it’s needed. If anyone could do it so easy then why on earth we need instructors. So please be there for learners not for pointing your finger and shouting which double stress people. TRY NOT TO BE FAKE “POLITE“ concentrate on learners needs.
