Patrick was a thorough and knowledgeable Instructor who was kind and patient. He changed the pace of the lessons to suit my needs and autism, which gave me the confidence and experience to pass. I used the provided LDC Workbook a lot which was really instructive when starting out. But mostly I made a lot of use out of the theory test preparation for the hazard perception and theory test questions. Feedback was really instructive and I wouldn't have passed 1st try without it.

Gabrielle Sludds
Patrick was great!! I couldn't recommend him more. I had never driven before my 1st lesson and Patrick was very informative. He is always thorough when explaining driving and manoeuvres. He is great at remaining calm and correcting me, yet helpful in stressful situations. I wouldn't have passed without Patrick. 10/10 Instructor. The LDC workbook was helpful for me to understand the way a car works which helped me with controlling the car. I also used the online videos to help me with the manoeuvres, and understanding things.

My Driving Instructor was amazing and great to learn with. He was always very supportive and helped keep me calm when driving. Very friendly and would definitely recommend to others. I have had such a lovely time learning to drive with you. It has been such a learning curve and fun at the same time. Thank you so much Patrick! The LD system and workbook are structured well and clearly support the lesson order and personal progress.

Patrick is very patient and explained everything really well. I felt nervous towards my test, but with extra help from Patrick, I regained my confidence and passed 1st time with no minor errors. All the resources provided by Patrick were very helpful and it was good to track progress. The LDC videos on manoeuvres really helped me.

Passed 1st time
Patrick is a very talented and patient Driving Instructor. I knew nothing at all about cars or anything and he literally taught me everything from scratch and also explained everything, multiple times, so clearly that I understood. I think that Patrick's website is useful and I used the workbook to get more knowledgeable on what I was learning so I had a better idea when it came to me doing it. I didn't use the LDC YouTube Channel as much as I did the workbook. However, I did use it when I was looking at manoeuvres (Forward and reverse bay parking and parallel parking) and helped me also.

Lawrence Whitmarsh
Passed 1st time - The LDC workbook was brilliant
Patrick is a great Instructor, What I liked most was that during the process of me making an error he didn't jump straight in to correct it, he left it until I realised the error myself which I felt for me was great because he allowed me to realise my own mistakes so I can then get it right the next time. The LDC workbook was brilliant because before or after a lesson if I had forgotten something or wasn't sure, I could have a look in the book. This helped me retain the information I needed. After my first failed theory test I used the online hazard perception videos and these helped me to pass because of how similar they were to the real ones.

Emilia Oates

Patrick was extremely supportive and encouraging, creating a safe space in which I could make mistakes and learn. I would definitely recommend him as an Instructor, especially to those who may be anxious or need more support. I mainly used the LDC workbook alongside my lessons as I did my theory before I began my lessons. I found it very helpful and it solidified my learning. I also found the LDC YouTube Channel helpful when learning manoeuvres.

Patrick was brilliant from the very start of my journey as I struggled with my concentration. He persevered with me every step of the way and explained things in a clear way that I could understand. Also, very accommodating around my work rota. Excellent!! I could not recommend Patrick enough, great guy and a great instructor!! Thank you I used The LD System on Patrick's website both the hazard perception and the multiple choice which really helped me with my theory. I used the LDC YouTube Channel a couple of times when struggling with reverse bay parking. It was very good.

Patrick was super helpful and very good at explaining things when you are confused. Very encouraging and understanding when you are finding things tough. The LDC Workbook was super informative and good to read over when referring to things you are finding hard. I found it particularly helpful for the manoeuvres by explaining each individual step. The LDC YouTube Channel was useful to see what certain events look like actually on the road. Good to visualise how to deal with things such as roundabouts.

Patrick would pre-teach me thoroughly before starting a lesson. For example, he would talk through errors from the previous lesson and teach new skills. Patrick's instructions were clear and easy to understand, he was patient and let me learn at my own pace and encouraged me throughout the lessons. Patrick was very helpful before starting my driving lessons. He visited my home to go through the whole procedure which made me feel comfortable as it was informative and a good way to get to know Patrick as well as discussing my concerns. The videos on Patrick's website were useful for revision. I didn't use the workbook as it is not the way I learn. The LDC YouTube Channel were also helpful as I prefer to learn visually.

Patrick was very patient and took time to explain things I didn't quite understand and explained in different ways until I did. Very helpful, a good listener, and very keen on teaching me how to drive, I could tell Patrick enjoyed his job and took pride in it. I used the LDC YouTube Channel which I thought was good because it was clear and informative and helped quite a lot.

Passed 1st time
Patrick is a very patient and thorough Instructor, and he ensured I was fully confident at every step before pushing me to develop as a driver and become more independent. He always made sure I understood what was wrong with every mistake and how to improve for the next time. The LDC workbook was very useful for going over the points covered in lessons and checking my understanding allowing me to be more confident in the following lesson. I found the videos on the YouTube Channel very helpful as they provided a visual way of learning which helped me massively with the manoeuvres and for the position of the gears.

Zahid Gilitwala
Passed 1st time
Patrick was very patient, very understanding and he helped me gain confidence massively. I've had 4 Instructors and Patrick is one of the best. Quickly identified my faults and helped me techniques/solutions/guidance. I am a very anxious driver, however I have never felt afraid of driving with Patrick. He pushed me to learn and do new things. He didn't let me stagnate. He knew I could pass even when I didn't and I passed first time with 0 error. The Driving Skills Workbook is very thorough and detailed, very valuable. Especially when first learning how to drive. A great visual guide with good diagrams to explain roundabouts, junctions prior to practical lessons.

Patrick was an excellent Instructor. He helped me develop into a confident driver. He resolved my lack of self-belief and for that, I am eternally grateful. The LD system workbooks are exceptional. One reason I think this is the large amount of well-explained information. In addition, the theory preparation resources are great. Personally, the LDC YouTube Channel really helped enhance my driving skills. It contained great guidance and the pathway to passing my driving test.

Patrick has been a brilliant Instructor, he was very patient and helped me so much to get through my nerves. I could not have passed my test on my first attempt without him. The LDC workbook was extremely helpful, especially, the show me tell me questions.

Amazing experience
Patrick Bailly is a very nice person and a very good Driving Instructor. Sometimes a psychologist when I was feeling down, negative or not confident. Pushed me to my limits to overcome my fears. Always responsible, kind and adaptive, explained all the time with calm. very good knowledge of the roads and all the information. I used the LDC workbook and the videos as I was struggling with a lot of things at the start I needed to understand better. The information is clear, easy to find, and open access to videos. They were very helpful for me. I used the LDC YouTube Channel for learning the key points for parallel parking and roundabouts, changing lanes and choosing the right lane in specific situations. It's showing step by step what we should do and it became easier and better for me when I was with Patrick on the roads. As I have a visual memory, when I was driving on my lessons sometimes I was remembering things from the videos and I knew how to deal with the situation. When I put everything into practice, with every lesson I gained confidence. I am grateful for all the materials and for the amazing experience with Patrick.

I don't think I could have asked for a better Instructor than Patrick, he thoroughly went through everything with me and he gave me the confidence in driving that I needed. The LD system and workbook helped with my theory and nailing my manoeuvres correctly. The LDC YouTube Channel was also a big part of my passing as it helped me understand everything better. Big thank you to Patrick!

Patrick was a very good Driving Instructor. I couldn't fault him in any way! The LDC workbook was very helpful and easy to use and the LDC YouTube Channel was a very good place to learn. The videos are very useful.

Samuel Banner

Patrick is a very patient Instructor, was good-natured and a friendly person. He was clear in his preparation for our lessons, that he took the time to review how best to teach me and adapted as such. I could not help but recommend my Instructor to my friends after passing the first time. I always looked forward to my lessons especially since my Instructor made them proactive and enjoyable. Patrick for me always seemed to go the extra mile in his teaching using everything from diagrams to explanations that I could understand. I was encouraged to have a go at answering questions myself which helped me in remembering for later. The online resources provided by Patrick were a big help along with the workbook for a bit of reviewing. The LDC Youtube Channel is genuinely a helpful resource with answers to all the questions which I would otherwise find difficult to find.

Patrick was a very patient Instructor who taught me very well on the busy roads of Darlington. He put me at ease while driving even though I'd never driven before and made sure I understood what mistakes I was making so I can learn from them. Patrick was a great Driving Instructor! I used the LDC workbook which helped me understand the theory of driving. The workbook was comprehensive and contained everything I needed to know to help me learn to drive and pass my test. The LDC YouTube Channel explaining manoeuvres, road signs...etc was helpful.

I cannot speak more highly of Patrick. I was a nervous older Learner but he always put me at ease with his relaxed manners and good humour. I always felt in safe hands and unquestionably supported. Patrick never doubted me, though I doubted myself constantly. He is simply the best! I should have made better use of the resources (LDC driving skills workbook) which Patrick left with me and relevant videos but what I did look at was very good.

Patrick is an excellent Instructor. He is a wonderful Instructor who knows everything well and is always keen to teach students all the driving rules in an easy and excellent manner. I think the LDC YouTube Channel is an excellent channel and teaches the student a lot of driving matters and gives the student a good idea of how to start driving and how to take the driving test.

Patrick is knowledgeable, has structured training and has a very positive attitude. He helped me to overcome my fears. I did not use the LDC workbook and used the YouTube Channel for roundabouts.

Tina Valyzadeh
Passed 1st time
Patrick was always very patient and calm with me, he explained concepts in a very clear and concise manner to help me understand more easily. Even when I forgot, he explained again with no judgement and prompted me to try again. He really helped calm my nerves and build my confidence. Patrick is an excellent instructor that I have recommended to many of my friends. The LDC workbook was helpful during the first few sessions where it was very technical with the gears and the parking markers, but I didn’t use them much after that. Same as the workbook, the LDC YouTube Channel was a lot of use in the beginning then stopped watching the channel as soon as my confidence increased.

I can't be more thankful enough to Patrick, he helped me a lot through all my progress passing my driving test. I will recommend anyone to Patrick, he is a very patient and well-prepared for all situations on the road. He is a professional. The LDC Driving Skills Workbook provided by Patrick helped me a lot and to understand certain things. It was very useful for confusing situations and it was the perfect guide. The LDC YouTube Channel was also very useful for me, I was emailed by Patrick with all the LDC videos needed for my lessons to understand better the situations. It was an extra help for me because I needed commentary driving and those videos were exactly what I needed.

Mia Crawford
Passed 1st time
I really enjoyed every lesson I had with Patrick, he was very understanding of my nerves and made me feel at ease and made sure that when I didn't understand something he would explain it until I fully understood what to do in certain situations. I think that the workbook and the LDC App that contains videos and my schedule were very useful. It would remind me when I had a lesson which was very helpful and kept me organised and it would show my progress so I could keep track of where I was at with my driving. If I had forgotten something I could go back and watch the videos which were good. The LDC YouTube Channel is very helpful as you can watch the videos if you forget something or don't fully understand something. It is very good to prepare for your lessons so you have an understanding of what you need to do.

Eloise Fry

Patrick was the nicest Instructor I could have ever imagined. He was calming (especially with my anxiety), talked through everything and made sure I was confident in everything I did. I only used the LDC workbook, it was pretty useful with information and questions, however, sometimes the info was hard to understand. The videos on the LDC Channel were very useful to help understand, especially the manoeuvres.

Natalia Shaw

I found Patrick very friendly and professional, always punctual when collecting me for my driving lessons and finding extra time for tuition to help me with my driving. He has infinite patience and gave me clear explanations on how to improve my driving skills. I am extremely grateful to Patrick for his patience and assistance and highly recommend him to any student who wishes to learn to drive correctly. Through his careful tuition and attentiveness to detail, I am pleased to have passed my driving test first time. I am very pleased to have met Patrick. I found the LDC workbook invaluable as an aid in my learning the fundamentals of safe driving and spent many hours studying all chapters, often recommended by Patrick when I was unsure of particular circumstances we encountered during our lessons. Patrick also provided me with many links showing actual driving experiences and routes to follow to improve my driving skills. After much practice and studying these proved very helpful to show what I may encounter during my actual test.

Triona Barker

Patrick was a wonderful Instructor and remained gentle and patient throughout my lessons despite my mistakes. He focused on my weak points without ignoring my stronger ones and really made me feel much safer driving. The LDC Workbook, videos and YouTube Channel were very useful for the basics and understanding the manoeuvres.

Hannah Mather
Passed 1st time
I thought Patrick was really lovely, made me feel comfortable and calm. He was always encouraging me that I was doing well etc... He was really helpful and I felt good doing all the manoeuvres and his guidance and reassurance. The LDC Workbook and videos were very informative and accurately gave a description of what was going to be done throughout. The theory preparation resources were very useful and allowed me to face all the questions I later faced in my test. I think that the LDC YouTube Channel is a very good resource that allows students to understand more clearly what is required of them. It allowed me to understand the manoeuvres from various viewpoints to allow to get a full understanding.

Patrick has been absolutely fantastic! He has been very patient with me as I sometimes could be quite negative. He has brought out the best in me and helped me gain my confidence. I couldn't have asked for a better Instructor! The LDC System Workbook/DVDs and the online theory test preparation resources were extremely helpful. I certainly would not have passed my theory if these were not available for me to use. The LDC YouTube Channel was very helpful, it explains in-depth on every video and leaves no questions unanswered. Brilliant!

Harry Sludds

Patrick was very good at explaining everything he taught me and everything I possibly needed to learn from scratch which is the reason I passed the driving test 1st time. Without him, I don't think I would be the safe and confident driver I am today. Overall a great Instructor. The Driving Skills Workbook was extremely helpful for the preparation of both the theory and the practical driving test. Everything you need to know was in the book and the videos.

Patrick was very helpful and understanding as I learned to drive. He helped improve my confidence dramatically through his knowledge and extensive way of explaining things. I didn't really use much of the resources. The handbook was ok but didn't help me that much.

Patrick was incredibly helpful and patient. I was initially nervous to drive but Patrick put me up at ease and I was comfortable driving during every lesson. He was excellent at explaining what was required and guided me through any mistakes. However, I was also encouraged to use my own initiative. I would definitely recommend him as an Instructor :) I found the LDC workbook very beneficial. It allowed me to feel prepared going into each lesson as I had some knowledge and understanding of the manoeuvres and skills needed...etc. This also helped me with efficiency and saved time. The YouTube Channel was also very useful. As someone who can find it useful to learn visually, it was good to be able to see the skills performed in a video.

Patrick is a great driving Instructor. He is patient, firm and encouraging in his teaching/instructing. Operating off a step by step process, driving progression felt balanced across all lessons and I never felt held back. It was a delight being Patrick's student in learning to drive and the process was much better than I had imagined it to be despite the process being significantly dragged out and delayed due to COVID. The LDC Workbook and theory test preparation resources were essential in my successful learning to drive experience. They covered all information I needed and more. The YT videos were helpful in understanding the various manoeuvres.

Jamie Thompson

Patrick was very patient and understanding. He was reliable and professional during my time with him. He was always very helpful and couldn't recommend him enough.

Patrick is patient, encouraging and helpful. He made the lessons comfortable to learn in and enjoyable. He ensured I was fully ready before taking my test. He helped my confidence by doing mock tests with me and going through any mistakes I made when practising those. The LDC YouTube Channel is very informative, clear and easily accessible. It allowed me to retain all information I learned during my lessons by being able to go over it again. I feel that helped me feel more confident on the day of my driving test as I knew what to look for in regards to potential hazards on the road as well as other things such as checking my mirrors...etc

Patrick explained everything really well. He built on my weaknesses to help me boost my confidence. I really like that he made a list of weaknesses and strengths at the end of every lesson so we knew what to focus on. I was taken on many challenging roads before my test in which many mistakes were made but many lessons were learnt. Having driven through different and challenging roads prior to my test definitely gave me more confidence for my test. Patrick taught me very well which helped me pass. Thanks, Patrick. I didn't get the chance to go through the videos but I did use the book which was very useful. I will definitely be using it in the future.

I am so glad I’ve listened to one of my friends when they told me, Patrick Bailly is great, and you will defo pass. Me failing it 2 times already I had not much hope. I would definitely recommend him, highly. He's very patient, explains in detail, great honestly. So glad passed with only two minors. I had not much hope to pass until I called Patrick, he provided me with the LDC workbook, which I definitely recommend looking at, everything is easy to read and follow, Patrick was very patient with me, he is very good at his job, he knows the towns very well. I did my exam in Northallerton, he provided me with many routes, and videos to watch, before my exam. Going to the exam I felt more prepared than ever. YouTube channel is great, I didn’t just use LDC, but it well explains and reassures individuals, I was very anxious about going into the exam, I watched one of the videos about anxiety, and how to deal with it while on the exam, I felt much better. The channel itself has useful information and videos on most of the subjects, I found it useful.

Patrick was very patient and has been really helpful. Especially, when I had a specific question or was unsure of something. Patrick has helped me to build my confidence with driving and has been really supportive. Thank you, Patrick! I used the LDC Workbook to refresh myself with the rules of driving and the roads at the beginning of my lessons. Often I found myself referring back to it when I wanted to recap a specific scenario. It was really helpful.

Patrick was everything I needed to boost my confidence and get on the roads. He taught me all I needed to know and for that reason I passed 1st time!

Patrick was a very good Instructor and very strong in teaching and perfect. Ha was very patient and calm in all stages of the training and spoke very well, and it was understandable to me who has English as my second language. I'm very happy to have been with Patrick's student from the LDC team in Darlington because he took the time for me to teach me a very brilliant driving. Thank you all LDC team. I wish you all the best. Thank you Patrick. I first read the LDC Workbook, then used the online app theory test and watch the hazards section before starting practical lessons to help with driving rules. It is a very good resource. The LDC YouTube Channel was great and very helpful to me from another country with different types of driving.

Patrick was always very patient and understanding throughout my learning whilst answering any questions I had. Patrick gave me the confidence I needed to be safe on the roads, showing he had faith in me. Although I myself didn't get much use of the LDC resources when I did make references the information was always really easy to follow and understand. I can see how this is a very useful tool having all your information in the same place. I found the LDC YouTube Channel very useful when I had trouble learning the manoeuvres and again always informative and easy to understand.

Joseph Herbert

Patrick was clear with instructions and what he wanted me to do and he was good at explaining how to do things and carry out methods. He also let me work out things myself instead of just telling me and was easy to learn with. I used the LDC workbook and found the app more accessible.

As a nervous driver initially, Patrick was calm, understanding and extremely competent. He enabled me to feel at ease at the wheel and confident in my abilities. I don't think I'd have been able to pass without Patrick. He is an excellent Instructor that I would recommend to anyone I know. I've been driving independently for a couple of weeks now and I still have his voice in my head telling me "the road is clear ahead?" (AKA speed up!) I used the LD workbook alongside my lessons as advised by Patrick. I am an academic person so really enjoyed the extra aspect of the workbook to help me understand and remember the mechanism and manoeuvres. When my learning was disrupted due to COVID, I found the YouTube Channel useful to continue to remind me of how to drive and perform manoeuvres. Thank you, Patrick :)

Misaa Alsakkaf

Understanding people - This is the important quality to being an Instructor, however, patience and communication to the Learners need or feel, which is all of that I felt with my Instructor who gave me more confidence in my abilities. The most important thing that the Learner need is to work calm and hard, discuss with the Instructor and ask for help if needed. It's really important the have your personal work, not just the Instructor (self-work). I think you need to work hard on the LD System to pass from the first time. Good things always need to work on it (personal effort). My Instructor told me to have a look at the LDC YouTube channel which was brilliant to just need to work and write down notes.

Patrick was very understanding and recognised that English was my second language. He made me think about the things I did as a trainee. He was always calm, polite and friendly. He was always on time and his lessons were value for money. I would recommend him. Thank you Patrick you are a fabulous Instructor and would not have a first-time pass if it wasn't for your guidance. The LD system, workbook and videos were great, I was able to study, practice and go over things again such that I was able to pass both my theory and practical test FIRST TIME! Overall very happy with Patrick and LDC costs were reasonable. I'm a happy student! The YouTube Channel was an excellent resource. I learnt so much from this, I was able to view it when I was relaxed and calm. The guides made me learn so many things without even having got into the car. A fabulous resource.

Patrick is an excellent Driving Instructor with a lot of patience and time for your learning. Builds a great relationship with his pupils, learns how you understand driving and how to use the LDC System in order to assist you with any issues. Patrick is also great at building your confidence and reminding you of how far you've come and your capabilities. The LD System is great to learn and visualise from the comfort of your home and then transfer this learning into the real-life practical situation. The LDC YouTube Channel is great to watch prior and after lessons to ensure you are prepared for the lesson ahead, as well as having the videos as a reminder/checklist for your learning

Patrick is extremely patient and informative, he is always happy to explain methods fully and answer any questions I had. When I first began learning to drive I was very anxious and worried about other drivers, Patrick soon helped me feel confident on the roads and now feel like a safe and well-educated driver. The LD System Workbook is an advantageous learning material when learning to drive with LDC, I found that it helped me document my progress and had very instructive information for manoeuvres. The online platform allowed me to revise for my theory test thoroughly and also pass 1st time with confidence. The LDC YouTube Channel is a very helpful resource to go to while learning to drive, especially for someone who learns best visually. I found watching mock tests informative for the driving test as they allow you to see safe driving verses dangerous manoeuvres.

Patrick has a great deal of experience as a teacher which clearly shows. Patrick has helped me pass first time after failing 5 times with a previous Instructor. The LDC system provides a valuable resource for assisting with both practical and theory learning.

Anelia Kostova
Passed 1st time
Patrick has been the best instructor I have worked with. He is able to effectively judge the shortcomings and root cause of the issues that the student is having and create a learning situation to match the needs of the student. He is very flexible to the learning needs of the student, whether it is a more theoretical or practical approach to learning, adjusts and challenges the student in every lesson. He was able to help me remove bad driving habits which I had developed from having worked with multiple instructors previously. He is excellent at keeping the student constantly aware during the lesson of any environmental factors which are being encountered for the first time or even multiple times.

Patrick helped me learn the local specificities in Darlington and develop the confidence to correct myself in case of a mistake in the very short time of 10 hours on the roads in Darlington. Overall, I have very much enjoyed my time learning with Patrick and I highly recommend him! The Driving Skills book has been useful in revising in the build-up to the exam and the driving videos on youtube were very useful beginning, setting the expectations for the upcoming lessons.

Patrick took time to establish my level and get me in my best possible condition to pass with confidence. He drove both the lessons forward but gave me every opportunity to challenge anything I wanted to revise. He was the perfect Driving Instructor. I think that the LDC videos helped me untold amounts, revise reference points and the Driving Skills Workbook best prepared me for my practical. The LDC YouTube Channel is easily navigated and fir for purpose.
