5 Stars – Cheers to Shaun, the Northern Driving Legend!**.
Where do I even begin with Shaun? The man, the myth, the Leeds United-supporting legend who somehow turned a nervous wreck like me into a confident driver without needing therapy afterwards.
From the first lesson, it didn’t feel like a typical driving lesson - no awkward silences, no robotic instructions, and definitely no passive-aggressive clipboard tapping. Instead, it felt like jumping in the car with a very calm mate (who just happened to be incredibly good at getting people test-ready). Somehow, Shaun made every drive feel more like a road trip than a classroom on wheels - just with a lot more roundabouts and slightly fewer service station snacks.
What really set Shaun apart is his patience. I mean saint-level patience. I stalling, missed gear changes that nearly summoned a new noise from the car, and once took a wrong turns - and not once did he flinch. Just calmly helped me figure it out, always with a grin and some classic northern wit. It will live rent-free in my head forever. ).
He’s got this knack for making everything click. Before I knew it, I wasn’t just ‘doing lessons’, I was genuinely driving. Confidently. Safely. Even parallel parking without tears. That’s a miracle in itself. He gave me so many tips that I can jump into any car and manoeuvre it as an extension of my body! Tips that I now show very experienced drivers who are amazed.
And to top it off, when I passed, I swear he looked more chuffed than I did. That’s the kind of instructor Shaun is - he genuinely cares.
So if you're looking for someone who'll teach you to drive without stress, with a laugh along the way, and will celebrate your wins like you’ve just scored the winning goal at Elland Road… Shaun’s your man.
Thanks for everything, Shaun. You’re an absolute gem.
