Chris Loder

“Chris has been a wonderful instructor. He is patient, listens, never shows frustration when you make a fault, always ready to correct you and show you the right way. He encouraged and gave me all the support I needed to pass my driving test.”

Kemi Martins

“Chris had so much patience with me through my lessons and always had a really good way of explaining things without over-complicating it. Passed first time — thank you for all your help!”

Vanessa Ryan

“Chris was a great fit for me — as a slightly anxious driver he worked at my pace, always keeping me well informed of the progress I was making. He is very calm and reassuring and explains things in a clear way.”

Matthew Nadin

“He is a very experienced driver who is calm and understanding when it comes to teaching a newbie. I honestly feel like I could not have passed without him! I passed 2nd time with 5 minors and overall feel very confident in my driving ability thanks to him! 5/5 would recommend to anyone looking to learn in the Oldham area!”

Darren Reade

“Chris has been an incredible instructor from day one and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He made me feel at ease from the first lesson and I was a lot less nervous after our first few lessons and this was down to him. He was both patient and supportive, especially when I was making mistakes and he calmly helped me rectify situations if needed, when driving. He is a model professional, who ensures a high standard of quality, safe driving and because of this I passed first time. He made sure I understood his instructions and tips to improve my driving and carefully worked on my weaknesses in the run up to my driving test. Really genuine guy and I’ll be recommending him to everyone who needs an instructor.”

Mike Kaffo

“Chris is very passionate about driving safely and appropriately. He made sure that I was ready for the actual driving test and he did his best to help me pass it the first time. He is also caring and will always try to put you at ease during the lessons. His lessons are catered to your abilities and very much worth the money. I would highly recommend anyone from any driving background to choose Chris as their driving instructor. I am also thinking of doing the Pass Plus scheme in the future and I will definitely contact him if I want to do so.”

Naim Zin

“Just a small note to thank Chris for all his help in getting me through my test! He was a perfect instructor, a credit to himself, and the Latics driving school!”

Pete Rushworth

“He helped me build in confidence while driving, he was always polite and patient I couldn’t ask for a better teacher who helped me pass first time.”

Toni Sorton

“He’s a top, level-headed guy who’s always down to earth; he’s also really good at his job too! He reassures you when you need it and he also instils the confidence and belief needed for learners to succeed at driving. He could teach anyone to drive! I’d recommend Chris to anyone I know as I genuinely thought I was pretty lucky to get such a good guy helping me to learn to drive. Thanks a lot mate!!”

Tom Chadderton

“Chris was fantastic from day 1. He went out of the way to address any concerns I had and he immediately put me at ease with driving and with the roadways in general. The confidence that Chris instilled in me on the roads was amazing and soon enough I was driving under my own steam! This obviously led to a few hiccups along the way, and Chris dealt with these in his usual calm and re-assuring manner. He is either absolutely unflappable, or he is a fantastic poker player. Either way, it took the sting out of the mistakes I made and reinforced confidence in my abilities. This kind of sums up the experience of learning to drive with Chris, he is an excellent motivator and confidence builder, and now that I’ve passed my driving test and got myself a licence, I can look back and say that I almost certainly would not have achieved that without Chris’ help and guidance. I wasn’t initially planning on doing any more instruction post-passing, but after the time spent learning with Chris, I’m now looking forward to some time learning Motorways! I couldn’t recommend Chris more highly to anyone wanting to learn to drive. He is a fantastic instructor and a credit to Latics.”

Rob Pike

“I came to Chris having already done quite a few lessons previously and straight away, he was so much better than my old instructor. He is a great driving instructor, very patient, he gives you a lot of confidence in yourself when you drive – he is just a great guy in general! I would recommend him to anyone who asks who I passed with and cannot stress enough how good he is at his job! Thanks so much for helping me pass first time!”

Charlotte Thickett

“Chris was great from the minute I first met him, he helped my brother pass, so it was an easy option to pursue with him once I heard my brother’s comments about him. I learnt quickly but that was because he was a great instructor and extremely patient and such a calm guy and was excellent at giving advice, constructively and effectively. I enjoyed lessons with him because he was also great to chat to and very sociable and seemed genuinely interested in his pupils including me and overall I would say Chris is a 10/10 instructor and a top guy who I would extremely recommend and will be doing so.”

David Whyatt

“I switched to Latics after being unhappy with my first driving instructor and was immediately impressed with Chris’ level of approachability and professionalism. Chris is a calm and patient instructor who not only gives great support, but also provided an enjoyable learning experience and gave constructive feedback after every lesson. Chris always develops tailored lesson plans to suit your needs and focus on any area you’d like to practice more. Thanks to Chris I was able to pass first time.”

I truly didn’t believe I would pass, but with Chris’s help I did and I am honestly grateful for everything. If he can help me pass than anyone can pass!”

Gabrielle Lennox

“Getting in touch with Latics driver training was easy and simple. When I first met my instructor Chris he was really friendly, honest and knowledgeable. Lessons were easy to book and he was always flexible and understanding. He’s very patient and no matter your mistake, will always stay calm, even at the silliest of mistakes (of which there was quite a few ha!), and will always talk you through any errors you may have made on the roads. It never felt that I was taking more lessons than I needed; which was something I worried about. With Chris keeping you updated on your progress every lesson and emails of how you’re doing. I was able to pass 1st time with confidence even with a strict examiner. Chris Loder is a relaxed instructor, who gets exactly what’s needed from you, I would highly recommend him.”

Saul Fowles

“He was friendly and a very patient instructor, I felt at ease learning to drive with him. His explanation and his teaching method was easy to understand and helped me learn quickly. His preparation leading up to my test was also very helpful and contributed to me passing first time. Again I would highly recommend Chris Loder to anyone looking for and instructor.”

“Chris is calming and reassuring! I have just passed my practical driving test and I just want to thank Latics driving and particularly my instructor Chris Loder. He was genuinely one of the calmest, reassuring person I've met. I was very anxious and nervous, and he was able to calm me even through making mistakes he always explained how it's all part of the learning process. I've learned driving skills and tips from him that will stay with me forever!”

Raymond Carroll

“Chris Loder was amazing! Chris Loader was amazing! I'd had previous lessons last year while I was away, so I wasn't new to driving but each lesson I felt I got more out of Chris than my previous instructor and became a better driver for it. Thanks for making it so easy and helping me pass Chris, and for introducing me to movie soundtrack playlists on Spotify.”

“Chris is so patient and calm! I learned to drive with Chris Loder and he was amazing. So patient and calm which made me feel relaxed and at ease. Passed 1st time thanks to Chris. Thank you again Chris. Was a pleasure being taught by the best.”

Lauren Mcgovern

“Chris’s lessons are outstanding! Chris Loder has been supportive since day one and has always had faith in me passing my driving test. Out of all the driving instructors I have had in the past, he has been the best driving instructor by far! He is organised, patient and enthusiastic in every lesson I had with him. As a secondary school teacher, I would say his lessons are outstanding. I came to him as a terrible driver with little confidence in driving and now I’m very confident. Every lesson I had with him I found myself challenging myself, making immense progress and using resources that Chris had provided to become a better driver. Massive thank you to Chris and Latics.”

Sabia Begum

“Chris is very professional! I definitely recommend Latics for learning how to drive and many thanks to Chris Loder. He's being supportive from the very beginning. Coached me through pregnancy and beyond with great patience. Very professional and thanks to his perseverance I was able to succeed after few attempts. Thanks again Chris!”

Lidia Andriancyzk

“Chris has so much patience! Passed second time with Chris and he has been the most amazing driving instructor ever! Has so much patience and really helps you to understand and develop your skills, really couldn’t have done it without him and wouldn’t recommend anyone else!”

Leah Thompson

“Thank you so much for the greetings. Indeed, it was superbly awesome for me to be trained by such a great and hardworking team. With the outstanding services provided to the learner with up to date technology, In-depth analysis and post-mortem of your driving skill during the practice and end of session were the key factors to my success. Most importantly no doubt the credit goes to Chris Loder (who just so happens to be a racing driver too!) This couldn’t be more fantastic than that isn't it. Well the best part of Chris that makes him different from other instructor is its attitude, his teaching and understanding skills he is so good in each and every minute detail that you just sort of miss and he is always there to tell you very calmly as a friend didn’t you miss that. With a proper documentation and periodic pro and cons of every lesson made me very clear what the things we need to improve and follow up on the next lesson make it an absolute great experience. Whenever I didn't perform a proper action Chris always guided me what the correct should have been taken and at what instant this was indeed a great help and secondly the guideline and flow diagram before the activity the pictorial representation and how to perform the complete action using his teaching skills was a great help to have a clear view of each activity. On my Behalf I would 100% recommend him to the new and old drivers. They will be lucky to have him beside as was I, to help them attain their target.”

I would like to thank my Instructor Chris Loder for all his hard work and supporting me throughout my driving lessons. - Patient and very understanding I made simple errors - Very helpful and clearly wanted me to pass the test and go on to drove safely. - Amazing at explaining. He would often take us aside and try and draw diagrams or review the recorded camera footage to better show what I needed to improve on. - Chris was very punctual and would always communicate with me about scheduling early and often. I would like to give Chris a 5/5 (if there is a rating system. All round great instructor and great person.”

“100% recommend Chris Loder, couldn't of been more helpful, instructive and most importantly patient with me. Explains everything perfectly and always prepared to answer any questions you may have. Had confidence in me from the beginning when I wasn't confident in myself. Makes extra time for learners who are coming to the test which helped me a lot. Gone from never even being behind a wheel and scared of driving before to passing first time with only 2 minors. Thanks again for everything Chris”

“I passed 2nd time today, thanks to Chris! Chris put so much time and effort into teaching me how to drive. His patience, kind words, and encouragement was so helpful and was the main reason I continued despite feeling nervous or like I wouldn't ever learn how to drive. If I ever made a big mistake, he wouldn't ever react harshly, but would always patiently and calmly teach me through it. I would highly recommend learning with Chris.”

“I passed my test today first time with zero minors, thanks to Chris Loder. Chris is an amazing instructor who makes you feel really at ease and comfortable behind the wheel. He takes the time to explain new concepts and makes sure that you understand everything. He is very encouraging and provides great tips during your lessons, making you better prepared for when driving independently. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he would always allow time for you to improve and work on any weaknesses. I definitely would not have been able to pass first time and feel as confident as I do driving without his help. I recommend Chris completely to anyone looking to learn to drive.”
