Really suggest Gordon as your instructor, as he was the best instructor I could’ve possibly had, was really helpful with the teaching and also speaks to you calmly if you made any mistakes or anything so that you won’t feel overwhelmed, really the best instructor!

A first time pass today with Latics, a massive thank you to Gordon who has been my instructor this year, I learned late (34) and was generally quite anxious about driving in general. Gordon's teaching skills, patience, and driving methods are brilliant, I had a couple teachers prior and it was a night and day experience learning with someone who genuinely cares about his craft and students to such a degree. I will be taking some extra motorway lessons, and every journey I would have had to get a late running train I'll now be thankful otherwise! Thank you! 🙏

I had Gordon as my instructor for around about 20 lessons. Had a bad experience with a previous instructor but Gordon turned all of my faults into strengths. Calm, professional and friendly approach which made me look forward to lessons, and excited to be on the road. Couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone wanting to build confidence, and be test ready.

I highly recommend learning to drive with Gordon from Latics. He was very patient and knowledgeable about driving and the roads. He was very reassuring when I made mistakes and made me feel confident behind the wheel. I managed to pass first time with only 2 minors and I’m very grateful for all of Gordon’s help!

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! From the very first lesson, Gordon was patient, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had a great way of explaining things clearly, breaking down complicated maneuvers into simple steps that made everything feel achievable. What stood out most was his calm and reassuring presence, especially when I was nervous or made mistakes. Highly recommend Gordon to anyone looking to learn in a supportive, professional, and positive environment.

At nearly 40 years of age I've just passed my driving test for the first time! Gordon put me at ease and my confidence grew after each lesson. He's a great teacher with patience and made me believe in myself.

Kelly Allen

Gordon's patient and friendly approach enhanced my confidence. Any self-doubt that crept in, Gordon provided a calm and rational voice urging me not to give up. In my opinion — Gordon is a great driving instructor, but an even greater human being.

Andrew Airey

A massive thanks to Gordon Jennings for helping me pass first time! I was nervous at first but then actually enjoyed having lessons with Gordon as he helped me pick up things really fast and we had a laugh at the same time.

Tom Walsh

He starts you off with the basics and teaches you the best way, I always felt safe and confident. When I went in for my test he had given me all the tools I needed to pass. He is a very accomplished instructor, Thank you to Gordon and the Latics team.

Michael Jamieson

Hi I passed my test on October 1st and would like to thank Gordan my instructor he is fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone, I couldn’t of passed without him he was brilliant patient understanding and very very very good at his job Thanks again

Zac Marlor

I learnt a lot of things from Gordon my instructor I would use Latics again if I had to thank you very much ..5 stars…

When I first met Gordon I was petrified of driving, he was a lovely calming influence on me. He listened to all my worries and melt downs while filling me with the confidence to become a good driver. There were times I was suffering with ill health and Gordon was understanding and never pushed me further than I was comfortable. Learning to drive with Gordon has changed my life! I am confident, self-aware and able to safely drive myself and my family round. I never thought I’d get past my first lesson and to pass within 6 months with only one minor is a combination of amazing patience, gentle tuition and hard work. Anyone looking to start driving or recap on lesson should definitely call Latics! Thank you Gordon!

I would like to say a massive thanks to Gordon Jennings for helping me pass my driving test first time! He showed me everything I needed to know from getting in the car not having a clue what I was doing to helping me pass first time. I was nervous at first but then actually enjoyed having lessons with Gordon as he helped me pick up things really fast and had a laugh at the same time. We started on some quiet roads around Oldham to help me get used to getting the car moving then we eventually made it onto larger roads with other cars. I didn’t feel confident driving on main roads but Gordon helped me overcome this by putting me in busy situations to see how I would cope with this and to trust myself and it worked. Whenever I was unsure about something then Gordon would help me re-do routes and demonstrate things I was struggling with. I’ve had a great experience and even though he still hasn’t got his picture on the Latics site and refuses to believe I’ve met Lady Gaga! I would highly recommend Gordon to anyone who is looking to learn to drive and enjoy themselves whilst doing so.

Tom Walsh

I had previously had a bad experience when I first learned to drive in 2004 with an incompetent instructor so I was a little dubious about learning again in 2014. Gordon is friendly, funny and knows his stuff. He put up with my daft questions and saw me through to passing my test in January 2015. Each two hour lesson was structured and even had a chance to just ‘drive about’ when I wasn’t feeling up to a full on lesson! I shall be booking pass-plus soon to put the finishing touches on my skills! Booking with Latics was quick and simple via PayPal so I didn’t have to worry about having cash in the house.

Scott Davenport

I would like to say a huge thank you to Gordon Jennings for me passing my driving test being an older person he had loads of time and patience and give me confidence to carry on. He deserves to be Instructor of the month.

Brenda Etchells

Yiipeee, I passed my test first time with Gordon, and I would like to say a big thank you for helping me pass you are a great instructor and deserve to win instructor of the month!!! Thanks you so much in everything that you have learnt me ☺

Robert Harrison

Gordon was extremely patient and constantly gave me constructive criticism on what I could improve on. Coming from another instructor that rushed me, we started from the beginning and I soon found my feet. I failed my first test due to being unlucky, but I worked hard and finally passed second time, couldn't be more happy with the results! Only 1 minor mark and that's due to the fantastic guidance from my instructor. Thank you!

Rohan Hadnum

Before I started my lessons with Gordon, I had very little confidence that I would be able to pass because I had to do an extended test. However, Gordon is very patient and has an excellent way of explaining things. He made me believe in myself and guided me through the whole process. He is an amazing instructor and I would advise anyone who is about to learn to ask for him. Thank you Latics for providing me with such a great instructor.

Ian Milston

I would recommend Gordon to anyone Gordon was really good I would recommend him to anyone he knows what he is doing he look and your strengths and weaknesses and turns them into strengths with driving really would be recommend to anyone
