Owen came to me with previous experience from two other instructors. Unfortunately, he didn’t enjoy his earlier lessons — firstly because they were in a manual car, and secondly because no one addressed the underlying issue: his anxiety.
I work with many students who struggle with nerves, and I know how important it is to deal with this properly. So instead of focusing solely on driving skills, we focused on managing his anxiety first. After just a few sessions, Owen became calm enough to fully concentrate on learning to drive.
It took him only 37 hours to reach the level where he could confidently drive us to Swindon, including the Magic Roundabout, Bristol, and many other challenging routes. He developed into a safe, confident, and fluent driver.

‘I finally passed my test today with Tymek. He was everything i needed to gain my confidence back. I struggled for so many years with other instructors, they were never patient and always pushed me for a test when I wasn't ready! I'm so glad I met Tymek. He is great instructor who understands patience but thank you I couldn't do it without you.’
Well done, Owen! I wish you many years of happy and safe driving. 👏
