5/5
I was a recent employee of DreamWorks Driving School and can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Initially, I was a trained commercial pilot but, due to Covid-19, was made redundant with my company. Clem took me in, took me under his wing and began training me. Whilst under his tutelage, I learned not only how to become the best instructor I could be, but I actually became a better driver as well. Clem had a way of coaching that I had not experienced before and even though I come from a teaching background, I learned so much more than I ever thought possible. His calm nature and practical approach is what sets him apart. Just like a snowflake, not every student is the same and when it comes to instructing, having this in mind is something demonstrated by Clem and, in turn (hopefully), me also. Clem is very thorough but extremely personable. I know when I was driving with him, I always strived to be the best driver and instructor I could be. He doesn’t only just train for test passes but for future safe driving, which is so important. I owe so much to Clem and I 100% endorse and recommend DreamWorks in every aspect.

Having recently been involved with DreamWorks as a trainee Driving Instructor I have had a unique exposure to their approach to Driver Training and the fantastic results they are getting with their students. Clem's structured, friendly and individual approach to each student is what gets their results. His comprehensive training and patient demeanour no matter what happens, puts all his students at ease to do their best each lesson. The DreamWorks approach to driver training puts a solid emphasis on not just preparing students for their Driving Test, but ensuring that, once they pass their test, they will be safe and considerate drivers who continue to learn and develop their driving skills. Can highly recommend for students of all levels, from initial driving lessons, all the way through to polishing prior to your final test.
