Thank you Mitesh for helping me pass on my first attempt!
Very calm, patient and friendly - driving with him was quite soothing actually.
Points out what needs improvement, with constant reminders upon request.
Was my first time driving in the UK, and he suggested it may be ideal to do a couple of hours of automatic to get used to the roads and notice all the signs, without having to worry about switching gears, then switch to manual if needed or preferred! It gave me lots of confidence and switching to manual was easy peasy.
Remember: Mirrors mirrors mirrors, and there's zero reasons to rush.
