I would like to say that Brian Hodder is an absolute legend. I have autism which can hamper my concentration at times and yet Brian still managed to get me confident enough to pass my test. I seriously cannot recommend this guy enough. He knows what he's doing and managed to alter our lessons to not overwhelm me when driving.

Brian was amazing. I have suffered with anxiety at the test centre in the past with other instructors but Brian's standards of driving are so high, that his belief that I could do it, had me believing I could. I can't describe how much this means to me and how much Brian helped me. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He's also a lovely bloke.
