Emma Bird with BDS, as both a person and instructor, is patient, calm, understanding and a bloody superb teacher. I'm sure she's the only one who could of got me through my test! (and my wife last year). Absolute legend of an instructor. Can't recommend her enough. I did have lessons a few years ago with an instructor in a different area (not BDS), and the difference in how I progressed with Emma compared the other instructor is night and day. Genuinely bitter sweet to be saying thank you and good bye to her after passing today.

I would absolutely recommend BDS. I hadn't needed to drive until I had a baby last year and was a very nervous driver. I am grateful to both my fantastic instructors - Simon for encouraging me to go over 15mph and Emma who came off her maternity leave to cover my intensive course and helped me to success with her calm and positive approach! The service I received from BDS was also exceptional. Donna pulled out all the stops to find me a test when the DVSA cancelled mine on short notice. I am now looking forward to driving my little girl around London! Thank you!

My instructor Emma has been so supportive the whole way leading up to my test date! She really focused on my weaknesses and gave me confidence back on the road again! Better still....I passed first time which was the best feeling ever! Highly recommend.

Emma was an absolutely fantastic instructor. She was always very calm and helped me to develop my confidence as a driver. She was very flexible with lesson times and I couldn't have passed without her support!

A massive thank you to Emma! I had an excellent experience with BDS would highly recommend it. After having bad experience with another company BDS managed to fit me straight away. I can not thank enough Emma Bird how supportive she is and calm nature. Always managed to fit around my work. If you are a nervous person I would highly recommend going with BDS and Emma . I have passed my test on 30th of march and I couldn't have done it without Emma! thank you so much. Being a BDS student I also got chance to attend free car maintenance course, which I think is really important for new leaners and getting to know the car in more details have definitely helped with my confidence. I would also like to thank you all the trainee instructors who supported me along with Emma!
