Jocasta Aliix29/03/2024I cannot recommend Steve enough! He is so patient, understanding and helpful! He makes things so simple and definitely had more faith in me than I did! I passed first time with Steve and doubt I could’ve done it with another instructor. I highly, HIGHLY recommend!! I cannot thank him enough for the hours of hard work and support he has given me and will always be grateful 🥰 Honestly the best instructor i’ve had, 100%. I am now a fully licensed, confident driver, no matter the situation! THANK YOU STEVE! 😁🖤Kate Nicholls26/02/2024If you need to learn to drive in Brighton and Hove, there is no instructor worth considering other than Steve. I was Steve's student for seven months and just passed my test. He doesn't just teach you how to pass the test, but sets you up with outstanding driving skills for life and sends you out into the world feeling confident and competent. His out-of-this-world patience, breadth of knowledge and kindness (not to mention sense of humour) are what sets him apart. I cannot recommend him enough, a million stars wouldn't do him justice. Thank you for everything Steve!georgia vanbeeny18/02/2024Steve has been beyond incredible, not only in teaching me at my own pace but allowing me to fully trust myself and build my confidence whilst behind the wheel. It still feels like 5 stars are not enough and he deserves more! He is incredibly patient, trusting and allowed me to take my time with learning how to drive without feeling rushed or put under too much pressure. I was with Steve for just under 2 years, and had a couple breaks through out due to a couple of health issues and work travel. He is beyond accommodating, allows you to create your own driving lesson structure and create an environment that is friendly, engaging and easy to follow. I was obviously thrilled to find out that I passed on my first test, however I was saddened by not having Steve as an instructor anymore and seeing him every Friday. I would recommend Steve to anyone and everyone who is looking to drive. He adores his job and you can really tell. Thank you for everything and thank you for not only building my confidence in the drivers seat, but in life in general. His lessons go beyond the wheel.Tais Zeitune26/12/2023I passed my exam first time! Steve was the perfect instructor. Very patient, thorough and professional. He helped me overcome my nerves when driving on motorways and was always giving me tips on how to drive safely and confidently. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone! Look no further!Jessica Charlotte Crowe12/12/2023I would highly recommend Steve. He has a great understanding of character and people and this meant he knew how to tailor the lessons to my temperament. Steve has high standards for driving - he taught me how to drive rather than just focussing on passing my test (which I did - first time!) and for this I am very grateful. I cannot thank Steve enough for the valuable life skills he has taught me. JessicaAdam Skirkowski13/11/2023I could not recommend Steve enough. After months of looking for driving instructors post-covid, Steve was the only one who bothered to respond to me with updates on when I could start and I'm so glad he did. His years of experience are evident through his professionalism and personable approach to lessons which helped me feel comfortable and confident in the car at all times. Thanks to this I was able to pass my practical first time! Worth every penny.R W08/11/2023I was almost ready to hang up my L plates after 4 different instructors, covid lockdowns, 4 expired theory tests, three failed driving tests and a bundle of second hand anxieties from Instructors not giving me the skills or confidence to drive properly. I contacted Steve explaining my situation and started lessons in January 2023. This was the best decision I could have possibly made and I finally passed my test in October 2023!! Steve is patient, calm and has a treasure chest of useful techniques to help you become a calm and confident driver. I 100% recommend him for anyone who is nervous or anxious about driving.Lily Wooldridge15/08/2023I could not begin to explain how much I would recommend Steve. I Passed my test today, first time! All because of his amazing teaching. Steve is incredible. He moulds his lessons using many different techniques to make sure you really understand what you are doing (including using a famous toy tractor). He does not over complicate things and simplifies things down, hence the name black and white! He is very calm and composed, even when you make errors where he has to step in, he never gets annoyed or angry. He knows exactly when to push you but also when to take a break and do something less challenging. I could not sing his praises enough and am so glad he was my driving instructor. Steve never made me feel nervous or stupid. No question is silly. It really feels like he gets to know you, and you him. He has a wide range of knowledge and is clearly a very experienced driving instructor. He does not only teach you to pass your test but also how to actually drive (and how to successfully parallel park into narrow spaces). He also makes sure that you actually enjoy driving and enjoy your lessons, they never felt like a chore. He kept me calm and confident on the day of my driving test and was extremely reassuring leading up to the test centre. I will miss our weekly driving lessons and would recommend him to absolutely everyone. I could not imagine a better instructor. If you’re looking for a driving instructor, look no further. Thank you so much Steve!Dinh Phung Linh11/08/2023I had 12 hrs of driving lessons with Steve and passed first time ! He was an excellent instructor. He is very calm, highly experienced and explains everything about driving, and the road rules very well. He answered all my questions patiently and also gave me a lot of confidence which was very important for the test. Most importantly I feel safe when I am driving and I really enjoy it. I highly recommend Steve and Black & White Driving School. Thank you so much, Steve ! I really appreciate it !!Finn Grassie04/08/2023Top quality instructor, and really nice guy. Been such a great help and will also have fond memories driving with Steve. Look no further!Load more
