"I moved to the UK a few years ago, I was quite nervous about driving in the UK. I began driving lessons but could not find the right teacher for me until I met Gary. When I started taking lessons with Gary it felt like the right fit, he was so calm and explained everything so clearly. I learned so much, I even started licking to drive here and managed to pass 1st time! I would not have been able to pass without his helpful guidance and patience. He is the best teacher I could have asked for. I would totally recommend taking lessons with Gary so that you’re well prepared for the driving test. Thank you so much for all your support!!"

"i’ve been driving with Gary for a little over 6 months and he has been excellent - a fantastic teacher and very easy to get along with. i strongly recommend Leeway Driving Academy to help you feel confident on the roads."
"Thanks to Gary's great guidance I was able to pass my test today! Since I started lessons with him he has been so incredibly patient with me which I am so grateful for as I can be quite anxious at times. He is always looking for ways to tailor his lessons to suit the individual student. We tried many different approaches to overcome things that were challenging me, nothing was too much trouble for him. He really gave me such a boost of confidence and belief in myself to succeed and now I have achieved my goal.
I really cannot thank him enough for giving me that belief in myself. He is a fantastic instructor and all round great person and I hope many more will benefit from his driving knowledge and skills. If you wish to become a skilled, safe and confident driver he is the guy to go to 100%!"

"Absolutely amazing instructor, one of the best around!.
"After spending months not making progress with a different driving school, I came to Gary. I was feeling incredibly discouraged & had built up a lot of anxiety, get distracted by overthinking and making mistakes. Gary was not only incredibly patient, calm & encouraging throughout the whole process, but he also helped me find ways to manage my anxiety by giving me lots of different strategies I could try. I would 100% recommend Leeway Driving Academy and overall, it was an absolutely amazing learning experience & I would encourage anyone looking for a driving instructor to pick Leeway Driving Academy".
"I moved to the UK a year ago and needed to swap my license. I began taking classes with Gary and learned a lot. I would not have been able to pass without helpful guidance.

"Thank you for the excellent tuition you gave in order for him to pass first time with only 3 minors. He felt at ease with you and I could see the improvements between lessons when I took him out".
"Gary was a great instructor, and the evidence is that my son passed first time with no minors. Gary was always punctual, flexible to fit in with teenage college and sports commitments, and was brilliant at communicating any appointment issues. I was kept up-to-date with my sons progress both via messages and the app. I can highly recommend Gary, and have already recommended him to many of my friends with 17 year olds".

"When I started learning from Gary he was a very professional, knowledgeable and determined to help you, instead of just teaching you to pass he goes to the length of putting all kinds of scenarios on the road that will help to pass to drive in all areas that will help you on your practical test. When I did my first driving test it was stressful but after the first fail he made me understand why I failed, but then took the time to make me book another test straight away and gave me a push to do it and in the end I passed thanks to Gary Channon".
"Highly recommended helped me achieve something I never thought was possible. Thank you".

A good experience all way, I would recommend to anyone looking to drive!". AM

"Gary is an amazing instructor who always keeps calm and engaged in his lessons, while also being 100% focused on ensuring you not only pass your test, but have the skills to drive in the real world".
"I have been learning to drive for 20 years and I couldn't find an instructor I clicked with and understood my way of learning. After a 2 year break because of growing my business and thinking I a just not meant to drive, I started looking for a school again, this when I found Gary from Marz school of motoring. Gary made me feel at ease straight away and with his patience, understanding an support I finally passed today. Thank you Gary for all the confidence you installed in me through my 13 times on taking my theory test and all those silly roundabouts. I am forever grateful. For anyone banging their head against a brickwall with learning, I would definitely say, GARY CHANNON is your man".
