A big thank you to Tony for helping me pass my driving test, with only 4 minors in the end! Really pleased! I had some lessons elsewhere some years ago, but A1 National’s were easily the best. Tony has so many positive qualities that make him a brilliant instructor and all-round good guy. This meant I always felt happy and relaxed during my lessons. I would recommend Tony to anyone that wants to learn to drive. Thanks again.
Dan, Southend on Sea

Hi mate just wanted to say thanks again for your help over the weekend and was good to meet you. I'd like it if you could put the below as a recommendation from me on the website 'done 15 hours with Tony was a great pleasure and makes you feel at ease (helps he was a fellow cockney and a right laugh) passed with just 5 minors and thats all down to Tony and his knowledge. Can't thank him enough' 
Chris, Leigh on Sea

Passed today 3 minors, I was surprised how easy it all seemed after my last lot of lessons a few years ago. Tony said its because he was so good lol. Joking aside he is a top teacher with a cool name and what he dont know about football aint worth knowing ;) 
Tony, Rochford

Roundabouts were my BIGGEST fear, 40 hours and as Tony put it I drive like a pro ;) thank you 
Mandi, Rochford

For years I was worried about learning to drive and within the first hour I thought why did I put it off. Great lessons with a great instructor.
