Ryan is an excellent driving instructor — very professional, friendly, and encouraging. Each lesson was well-structured and tailored to my progress. He made me feel confident and safe on the road. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Definitely recommend! - Tin, October 2025
My driving instructor Ryan Cottee was absolutely brilliant! As a first time and older learner I was simply terrified of driving! However, Ryan always had a very patient and calm approach and was able to explain seemingly complex manouvres with easy-to-follow and clear instructions. Importantly he was also able to offer lessons at flexible times in keeping with my work hours. He always provided feedback in a constructive and non-judgemental manner, which greatly helped with my confidence and I was able to pass my test in the first attempt!- Hira, September 2025

Our son had been at Uni, and only just recently passed his theory test, so when he managed to get a early practical test booked, we were lucky enough to book Ryan from the Jody Thomas Driving school. From the moment we met him, we knew our son was in safe hands. Ryan has such a great way about him, making you feel you are making progress with each lesson and helping you to get to the level you need to be at, to be confident enough to take the test. Our son passed first time, with the examiner commenting that it was a near perfect test. This is all thanks to Ryan and his dedication to his teaching skills and his students. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Top guy! Pete - September 2025

Very positive experience. Had an amazing instructor! Ryan, thank you so much for your knowledge, support, patience and for giving me confidence I lack, you are the best! I had been putting off coming back to driving for years, you made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Passed my test today from the first try, so happy!!! Tatiana - August 2025
I have been so fortunate to have an amazing driving instructor, Ryan Cottee, who believed in me from the moment we met. He built my confidence, showed me I was capable, and things I struggled with Ryan taught me with ease and showed me ways that where easy to remember. Ryan did such a fantastic job with me, a person of no self belief, that I passed first time and with no faults. Ryan thanks for helping me through all of this you are a star 🌟 Rachel - July 2025
