Michael offers a professional service at affordable rates. Always punctual and flexible, he remained very patient and friendly throughout my lessons. Michael would happily try a number of teaching methods to aid understanding of difficult to grasp concepts. I always felt that I was making adequate progress during lessons as Michael always ensured that lessons became progressively more advanced.::J.L.
I previously had two driving teachers and two driving tests. Having failed both times I decided to take a friends advice and try Michael Duncan. The lessons were clearly explained, manoeuvres became far easier as I was shown not just how to do them correctly but also how to correct them when I didn't. A month later I passed my practical driving test. Thanks Michael, really I can't thank you enough.::Anonymous.
I would like to take this chance to thank Michael for helping me pass my driving test. Although I was learning for over a year Michael showed great patience in getting me through my driving test.::Christopher Laird.
After passing my driving test a number of years ago and not driving constantly since I required refresher lessons in order to build my confidence. I found Michael through a work colleague. I found him to be very helpful, reassuring and patient. The initial assessment was constructive and I it found helpful as well as the handouts to recap over work. The car was always clean and well presented. A pleasant man who I would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Thanks Michael.::R.F.
I had been learning to drive off and on for a number of years and had a number of instructors previously with no luck. Michael was by far the best instructor I have had and I made the best progression with his positive and encouraging approach. I was pleased with my progress with Michael and passed my test on the second attempt after learning with Michael.::Peter Milner.
Me and my wife both learned to drive through Mick Duncan. We found him very friendly, helpful and made us feel comfortable while driving. I would highly recommend this driving instructor to anyone. We both passed our driving test through Mick Duncan.::T & K McDonald.
I passed my driving test first time and I can only thank Michael for that achievement. He is very patient and can help iron out any bad driving habits quickly and efficiently! Plus his car makes a lush sound on acceleration on dual-carriageways!:P.::G.Robson.
I passed my test in September 2007 with the help of Michael. I found the method of his tuition very informative, relaxed and friendly. On taking my driving test I felt fully prepared and confident with the tuition I got from Michael. I would highly recommend him as an instructor to anyone.::P.B.
I was delighted to pass my driving test 1st time with only 1 minor mark! Mick was very supportive throughout my lessons and always made me feel at ease. He was patient but firm when needed and kept a personal file for my progress. Highly recommended driving instructor. I love the freedom of driving!::Emma McCreadie.
I continuously struggled to find an instructor who was reliable, professional and honest. Michael helped me a lot to improve my confidence and knowledge in driving. I would therefore strongly recommend his teaching skills. He pointed out things that other instructors didn't. I have now passed my test and am very grateful. Thanks Michael.::Emma Stephenson.
I found that Michael was a brilliant driving instructor. He made me feel really comfortable and was easy to talk to if I had any questions I knew I could ask without feeling stupid. He's good at what he does because I passed first time. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.::R Hutchinson.
I found Michael to be kind, considerate and patient in teaching me to drive. He always had the time to explain all aspects of driving. I would recommend Michael to anyone wishing to learn to drive.::A.J.B.

Michael is an excellent instructor, he is calm, patient and reassuring. I enjoyed every lesson. All instructions and explanations were clear and informative. Positive and constructive feedback was provided after each lesson which was a great way to learn and improve my driving skills. I highly recommend Michael as an instructor. Thanks Michael I wouldn't have passed without you.::Megan C.
I am happy to have been instructed driving by Michael as he always kept his calm even in difficult situations. He always gave me helpful and clear advice and I would recommend him to anyone wishing to successfully pass his test as he made it it possible for me despite being used to drive on the other side of the road (I am French)!::Marc Chaillou.
I started to learn to drive while I was in the process of moving jobs and home to Essex. This meant I had to fit my lessons around my busy schedule and, more importantly, have quality lesson time so I could pass my test before I moved. I found Michael both flexible and understanding to my busy schedule and a brilliant teacher in terms of teaching me to drive not just to pass my test. I passed my test on 13/10/06 1 day before I moved. The things I learnt through Michael have made me a safe and confident road user today. Thanks Michael.::Paul Davison.
I joined Michael following a recommendation from my sister and I am pleased to have been taught by such a lovely, friendly and personable instructor. I made steady progress and had loads of fun doing it, passed my test first time, the only regret I have is I'll miss my lessons! I would recommend anyone to Michael who wants quality lessons that are well structured and a good laugh along the way. Thank you!::Sarah Whitby.
Well what can I say but what a fantastic and very highly recommended instructor. Michael is great at helping to build up confidence and has a very clear voice when giving instructions.::Ashley Robson.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Michael for believing in me and giving me the much needed confidence in passing my driving test. A driving test known to be difficult to pass was an extended test. Once again thank you for your support.::Martyn Rootes.
Mick is a patient, kind instructor. He gave me enough tips and practice to pass my driving test on the first go. He will correct you if necessary in a nice way and even if sometimes it seems confusing, too many things to think at one time, at the end he makes sure that you understand everything. I hope he continues printing pictures of the places to help with the explanations. It was very helpful. If I had to take driving lessons again I would go with Mick! Thanks!! (happy not to see you again :-) ).::Leticia Espinosa.
