Lee Napier

“From my very first lesson Lee put me at ease and calmed my nerves through the whole process. He explained everything to me even if it took a few times for it to go in! I passed first time — his approach and customer service is second to none.”

Rebecca Hurst

“I couldn't have done it without Lee! He is such a hard working instructor and he is the best at his job. Would recommend him to anybody and definitely people who are nervous as he puts you at ease.”

Elise Jenks

“Lee was really helpful and always gave advice and made time to work on the areas I struggled with. He is a really down to earth and chilled out person and that's really important as it makes you enjoy your lessons.”

Jess Berry

“When I started my lessons I didn’t expect to pass within the time I did. My instructor Lee Napier was great to work with and really easy to get on with, even though he is a Manchester City supporter! I was really nervous but Lee was really helpful and always gave advice and made time to work on the areas I struggled with. At the end of every lesson we looked at areas for development and planned the following lessons. Lee was really flexible with lessons and would fit me in if I felt I needed another lesson, this was good as it would help with the nerves especially near the test date. Even during the theory Lee offered support if needed, good advice and was always willing to answer any questions whether it be a text or during a lesson. I don’t think I could have asked for a better instructor, Lee is a really down to earth and chilled out person and I think that’s really important as it makes you feel less anxious and more importantly enjoy your lessons. Thanks again Lee!”

“I recently passed with Lee Napier, I had a great experience! He kept me calm all the time and believed that I could do it! Passing my test was one of the best things I’ve done and I couldn’t have done it without him. Top instructor!”

“I would like to start by thanking Latics for helping me to pass my driving test first time! My instructor Lee Napier was brilliant to work with and was extremely patient in areas that I struggled with. He sat down with me at the end of a lesson, even if it was eating into his own evening as my lessons were always quite late because of my work and went through good and bad points of the lesson and gave constructive positive feedback on how I could improve. He accommodated the late lessons and always turned up with a great attitude which helped me forget about nerves on the road and focus on what I was doing, for that I was extremely grateful as it really made a big difference. I had used another driving school briefly and found them really difficult to work with, the difference between them and the staff at Latics as well as the professionalism shown from the management was fantastic. I was even supported through my theory test with a great online tool they gave me access to. I have since recommended Lee personally to a friend of mine as well as my brother to get them what I consider to be the best person and company to learn with. Thanks again Lee for all your help mate I couldn’t have done it without you, although I will probably be coming to do the pass plus with you soon anyway. All the best for you and your family for the future and keep up the great work!”

Former pupil

“I was told to use Lee Napier off of my brother who passed with him months earlier so I did. As I had never drove before he somehow escalated my confidence within 2 lessons and I was on the road. He made the goings on of the road understandable and gave me time to grasp each aspect of motoring. I would recommend Lee to anybody thinking of learning as he got me through my test first time with ease! He is also very good on the pass plus side too, now I have the confidence to hit the motorway whenever I like with no worries. GO LATICS!”

Former pupil

“I took my driving lesson with Lee Napier he was so helpful from them moment I enquired about my lesson, I was scared and kept putting it off, after talking to Lee on the phone he was very helpful, he made me feel more relaxed about doing my driving so I booked my lessons. While doing my lesson he helped with my confidence loads he made me feel at home when I was driving, he made my experience more relaxed and enjoyable even when I made mistakes he helped to keep me calm and my confidence up. He would explain where I was going wrong and helped me. I took my test a few times and while I failed a few I got really down hearted and felt like I should give up and doubted myself a lot and lost a lot of confidence. Lee helped me to get myself back on track and gave me that confidence to carry on and push on for something I really wanted I then went on to pass my test. Lee is an amazing instructor and if it wasn’t for Lee I would have given up even though I wanted it so badly, I am soooooo grateful to him for this and would like to say a massive thank u. He was also very helpful with working round my hours in work as I work shift.”

Former pupil

“Throughout my time learning with Latics he’s been the most supportive instructor I could have asked for, so glad I didn’t learn with anybody else. He’s made me a confident and comfortable driver. Definitely a pleasure.”

Former pupil

“Thanks to Lee I passed first time. I am a quiet nervous person and found Lee very easy going and understanding. He explained things in terminology I could understand. Thank you again for your time and confidence. I can now continue in my chosen career path.”

Former pupil

“Just to let you know, Lee Napier is a very, very good instructor. I failed my test 3 times with other companies. So I decided to give Latics a call. Thankfully you gave me Lee who had the knowledge, the attitude and the drive and willingness to make me pass. Test day came and I passed with 3minors!!! Thank you very much Latics and especially lee Napier!!! WOULD RECOMMEND TO FRIENDS / FAMILY ALL THE TIME!!”

Adam Trennery

“I would just like to say how happy I am for passing my driving test with Latics Driver Training. I never ever in a million years thought I could do it. Thanks so much Lee (Napier) for putting up with me, I was so clueless on the road, but when you explained things to me I understood so clearly. You are so calm and patient and a fantastic instructor; keep up the good work!”

Victoria Hugo

“I started my driving lesson in Feb and I’ve now passed in June thanks to my instructor Lee Napier who was very patient with me, fantastic instructor I would recommend him to anyone thank you very much Latics for putting me forward to him.”

Laura Johnson

“Lee was honestly the best driving instructor I could’ve had. Lee was honestly the best driving instructor I could’ve had. From day one until the day of my test he was friendly, calm, funny and dedicated to his students! He would always make sure I was comfortable in what I was doing before I went solo without any help and I never felt rushed to learning manoeuvres or basic drive skills as he allowed me to continuously repeat whatever it was until I was confident and didn’t require his help. While learning to drive with Lee, I had moments where I’d stop the car mid manoeuvre and tell him I couldn’t do it or tell him I give up but he was patient and helped me to figure out where I had gone wrong and what I could do to improve. His patience is 100/10! With Lee, there was never a dull moment in the car as we’d always chat or have stories to tell each other which would have us completely giggling. I’ll never forget how we now call road markings ‘wiggly lines’. Lee was honestly an amazing instructor and I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and family!! Thank you for all your guidance and support Lee Napier!!”

Chloe Barnett-Benendikti

“Thank you very much! Lee was so calm and professional. I was a very nervous learner; Lee recognised this and always knew how to help keep me calm and say the right reassuring things. I was always given options of what things we could practice each week so I felt in control, and I could choose what I felt comfortable and ready for. He’s such a friendly guy, really down to earth. I passed almost 4 months ago now and learning to drive with Lee was definitely the right decision, his explanation of things really had helped me to understand the road and boost my confidence. There’s a reason he has such a high pass rate and is a popular instructor. Highly recommend to anyone. Thank you, Lee, @ Latics.”

Natalie Higginson

“Lee has been a great instructor. It has been great learning with him, as despite the delays to studying imposed by lockdowns, he has been patient, helpful, and accommodating. Lessons were both informative and paced in such a way that improvement was thankfully steady and continuous. I can't imagine I would have succeeded as well as I did without his support, and I am very grateful for his help. Thanks for your help, Lee and the Latics Team.”

Chris Bradley

“I passed my driving test first time after having my lessons with Lee Napier. From my very first lesson Lee made me feel at ease, he always made sure I had a can-do attitude and never let me give up. After just a couple of weeks I felt confident and was doing all of my manoeuvres confidently. Then after a few months Lee said I was test ready and to get my test booked. I did this and my test was booked for late October 2020. I turned up to Hyde test centre and low and behold my test was cancelled due to the examiner having covid! To say I was devastated was an understatement. I rebooked it for the week later and could not believe it when we went into the second lockdown and all tests were cancelled! Then my theory ran out! I couldn't get one booked until July 2021, but I did it again and thankfully passed and I was ready to get back to my lessons. I booked another test but the nearest test date I could get was January 2022, which felt like a lifetime to wait. But then it arrived, my nerves were shocking that morning! Lee helped me to calm down and I PASSED! I honestly can't thank Lee enough! I’ve waited so long for this! It has changed my life finally having my licence! I would 100% recommend Lee to anyone.”

Sam Hughes

“Good morning I hope you are well. When I started my lessons I didn’t expect to learn how to drive and to pass within the time I did. My instructor Lee Napier was great to work with and really easy to get on with. I was really nervous but Lee was really helpful and always gave advice and made time to work on the areas I struggled with and he believe me and my driving skills even I doubted my self. At the end of every lesson we looked at areas for development and planned the following lessons. Lee was really flexible with lessons and would fit me in if I felt I needed another lesson, this was good as it would help with the nerves especially near the test date.

I don’t think I could have asked for a better instructor, Lee is a really down to earth and chilled out person and I think that’s really important as it makes you feel less anxious and more importantly enjoy your lessons. Lee I don't think I will ever thank you enough for all your support and advice. Thank you for your patience. Thank your for your advices. Thank you for your support. Ps. I can't recommend you enough. Kindest regards,”

Elena Mitria

“Hi, please can I leave the following review for Lee. I had lessons with Lee Napier following a recommendation from a friend. Lee is a very patient person & explains everything clearly. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone who wants an experienced instructor who can put your mind at ease & keep you calm. Thank you Lee for all your help & support!”

Rachel Horn

“I would like to thank Lee Napier for a great job teaching me to drive. Lee is a very calm and patience driving instructor that knows how to build your confidence.”

Gary McGuiness

“I couldn’t have had a better instructor than Lee! I am glad I switched to Latics Driver Training having passed my test. The only regret after my experience with Latics is not having done so a lot sooner than I did. Lee was well disposed towards my driving ability/experience (plenty of nerves and hysterics included!). He painstakingly explained everything, answered my infinite questions and was always positive despite my setbacks. As a result, I made plenty of progress and that in turn boosted my confidence to the point of actually enjoying driving. Lee was always reliable, easily accessible and very accommodating when it came to booking/rescheduling lessons (for which he was constantly punctual). Based on my experience, I highly recommend Lee as I could not have had a better instructor!”

Tinashe Chipendo

“Highly recommend Lee Napier. I can't describe how amazing it feels to have your driving licence - thanks to Lee. He has so much patience, and many times I struggled to understand some words or their meaning, and he explained so well, calm and great to understand, as I never thought I would pass from first go. Lee, you're the best instructor, I will recommend to everyone”

“I have been driving on my husband's insurance for a while but started driving lessons with Lee in March. I have just passed 1st time. Lee gave me the confidence I needed and I can't thank him enough. He was brilliant with my son who I brought on most lessons and I think it's fair to say that both me and my son will miss our lessons.”
