No Gears Automatic Driving School Recensioni 

I am absolutely over the moon! I had James as my driving instructor for a month, I had a previous instructor for a year and still lacked in confidence and felt like I was never going to actually learn how to drive. Only 2 lessons with James and I felt I learnt so much! One month on and I have passed my test with flying colours. I will forever use MSPSL religiously now as in the one month together of you repeating MSPSL has left a permanent mark in my brain. Thank you so much for your persistence, your patience, support and understanding, I won’t let you down! Thank you again and despite what you say, I will actually miss you now that I no longer need you. Thank you for giving a 34 year old her long overdue independence. xx

James has been my driving instructor in Stevenage. I am very happy with the progress I made thanks to James. As someone who was terrified from driving a car, I was given so much reassurance from James and he was very patient with me, while not letting me stick with bad habits and anxious behaviours. James is strict but thorough and very fun with his friendly attitude. The results speak for themselves - he has helped me pass my test first time with only 5 minors which I wouldn’t have believed possible with any other instructor.

I failed 2 driving tests 8 years ago and finally decided to get back to it. James Keefe has been the absolute best instructor, so supportive and encouraging. I passed my test yesterday, my first test since failing, and felt so confident thanks to him! I was terrified of going back to driving after so long but couldn't have picked a better instructor.

i had james as my driving instructor and i couldn’t fault him at all, he was very helpful towards my confidence and was an absolutely fantastic driving instructor. he always gave me useful materials, advice and tips during my driving lessons. he was very knowledgeable towards everything to do with driving and very thorough with his teachings. i passed my test 1st time with only 1 minor thanks to james

I had James Keefe as my driving instructor and would highly recommend him.

James takes a thorough and structured approach to his lessons, which not only helped me feel well prepared for my test but also made driving feel safer and easier.

He always encourages driving in a way that keeps you safe and confident on the road. As someone who initially wasn't the most confident driver, I can't thank James enough for helping me build that confidence. One thing that really stuck with me was his idea of creating a "safety bubble" around the car. It was a really helpful way of thinking about driving and made me feel much more at ease. I'd also recommend James to any parents who are nervous about their children learning to drive because safety is clearly his top priority.

James also has a great sense of humour and builds a good relationship with his students. He makes lessons enjoyable while still being firm about bad habits and the importance of driving safely. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to become safe, confident drivers.

Thank you, James, for not only helping me pass my test but also for giving me the confidence to trust myself when driving independently.

Unprofessional Behaviour: I have experienced rude and demotivating conduct that has caused me significant distress and made me feel unsafe during lessons.

Time-Wasting Tactics: The instruction has frequently lacked focus, leading to what I consider to be unnecessary delays in my progress.

Last-Minute Cancellation: Most significantly, I was instructed not to appear for my scheduled driving test only the evening before for a 8am test . This short notice gave me no chance to cancel or reschedule through the DVSA without losing my fee.

I got James keefe after losing a lot of confidence doing manual but learning to drive with james really helped me get my confidence back and pass first time he gives great feedback and is really nice

I really recommend him to any new drivers

James is honestly the best instructor i have ever had. I used James's services for the first time and he was able to drill into every one of my driving faults i was making subconsciously. The other best thing about James is his humour, making driving lessons enjoyable and stress-free. Would highly recommend!

It was a pleasure to have an instructor like James as he pushed me to be the best I can and made sure I passed first time, I couldn't have asked for much more out of him especially with the amount of help he gave me and I would highly recommend doing no gears if your local

I’ve just passed my driving test, and I can confidently say that Akbar has been the best instructor I’ve had. I’ve worked with multiple teachers before, but none matched his level of patience, clarity, and professionalism.

What really stood out was how calm and composed he remained, even when I made mistakes. Instead of getting frustrated, he explained things clearly and helped me understand exactly what I needed to improve. His teaching style made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, which made a huge difference in my progress.

He breaks things down in a simple, easy-to-understand way and focuses on building your confidence as well as your driving ability. Thanks to him, I not only passed my test but also feel like a safe and capable driver going forward.

I would highly recommend Akbar to anyone learning to drive—especially if you’re looking for someone patient, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping you succeed.

I went to call for my daughters driving lessons.The person that picked up the call had no professionalism you could hear laughing and sniggering in the background which felt hostile.Then they immediately cut the call with no explanation whatsoever.Then my daughter went to call,thinking surely they didn’t mean to be that rude,the same exact thing happened to her,again more laughing and no explanation. How unbelievably rude!!! I would not recommend,horrendous customer service you can clearly see they had no interest in their job as they didn’t try to engage or help.This happened Wednesday 25th March 3:50.Sort your customer service team out

I've been learning to drive for over a few years now with various instructors and have never felt truly comfortable with any of them. I first met Akki a few weeks ago and he put me at ease straight away; I knew I had a good chance at passing my test. Akki is a brilliant instructor. He's patient, kind, funny and it was a privilege to be able to learn to drive with him. I passed first time today and would like to thank Akki for giving me the confidence I didn't think I had to enable me to do so. He succeeded where many have failed. Lauren C x

Robert brown (leicester) was My driving instructor alway planned lessons and routes very patient very knowledgeable alway told me where I went wrong and how I could improve would definitely recommend him to faimaly and friends

Steve who covers Rickmansworth/Watford is a brilliant instructor. After giving up my manual lessons years ago, I was nervous to get back in the car. Steve put my nerves at ease from the first lesson, and I actually looked forward to having my lessons each week! When arranging my lessons the customer service was also great and got me booked in quickly. Thank you so much for helping me get my 1st time pass!

Passed first time , great car to learn in and great instructor , thank you daljit

Alan Smithson is absolutely fantastic! His kindness, patience, and constant support make a huge difference. He listens carefully and prioritizes your success without rushing, ensuring everything is practiced to perfection. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test on the first try with just a single minor error at the Bishops Stortford test center.

I highly recommend my driving instructor James Keefe who is very patient, caring, and truly dedicated to his job. He explains everything clearly and makes sure you really understand how to drive safely and correctly. He can be a bit strict, but that’s because he genuinely wants his students to succeed and pass their driving test. You can tell that he loves what he does, and his guidance really helps you gain confidence on the road.

Akbar was my third instructor. I had failed twice with two different instructors. After 20 lessons I passed on my first attempt with him.

Akbar instilled the confidence I was missing and always remained calm and professional. He constantly reassured me reducing my nerves and anxiety. Thank you always!!!

I would like to extend a big thank you to Andy from No Gears No Fears for helping me achieve my goal of getting on the road with confidence. From the very first lesson, Andy demonstrated exceptional professionalism. His approach was not only thorough but also patient, ensuring that I understood each concept clearly.
Andy has an incredible ability to make complex driving techniques seem simple and manageable. His calm demeanor and clear explanations eased my nerves, turning what could have been a stressful experience into an enjoyable learning journey.
Throughout my learning process, Andy provided consistent encouragement and support. His positive and constructive feedback boosted my confidence significantly. He was always quick to acknowledge my progress, which motivated me to keep improving.
Overall learning to drive with Andy was a fantastic experience. I felt well-prepared for my driving test and comfortable behind the wheel thanks to his guidance. If you're looking for a driving instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and patient, I highly recommend Andy from No Gears No Fears.
Thank you, Andy, for your dedication and for helping me become a confident driver!

James is a great and super clear instructor! I passed first time with barely any minors in my own car. He gives out sheets with explanatory drawings of the manoeuvres and acronyms to understand better in your spare time, which is super helpful; going above and beyond.
Would recommend
