Monarch School Of Motoring

Great instructor, very encouraging. Tim is always willing to give feedback and is the nicest person…Highly recommended!

WOOOOHOOOOO, I passed my driving test the first time with Monarch School of Motoring (Colchester), with the skilful help from my amazing instructor Tim Preece. Tim had the hard task of teaching a motorbike rider with over 20 years’ experience on the road with two wheels to learn all over again on four wheels. The lessons where well-constructed allowing myself as a complete beginner to be relaxed and feel in control of a car environment. The style Tim has is not only driving safely but provides a modern style of driving through knowledge and giving you an understanding of the hazards on our roads today. This really helped me become a safe, confident and better driver both in the car and on the motorbike from my experience learning from Tim. A true professional, a credit to Monarch School of Motoring (Colchester) and his profession. I will miss my Saturday mornings now.

Tim is such a good instructor, he was so patient and always positive during all of my lessons

I started my lessons on my birthday which my instructor, Tim, did on a Saturday despite his availability window not typically being on that day. I looked forward to all my lessons and never found Tim to be too strict, forgiving or irritable. It never felt tense in the car as we would have conversations about life and interests when we could, easing nerves if I ever felt my driving was rough. I couldn’t have asked for a better school to teach from and for a better instructor.Thank you.

the past year with tim has been amazing. he’s truly put up with my difficulties and helped me to overcome my challenges. as a driving instructor- and a person- he has really changed my independence in driving and boosted my confidence in myself. though it’s been a rollercoaster, he never gave up on me and continuously made me comfortable.

Would 100% recommend Tim! Driving wasn’t a skill which came easily to me but Tim was VERY patient, encouraging and always gave constructive feedback at the end of every lesson. He made me feel at ease behind the wheel and helped me gain confidence. His excellent teaching paid off with me passing first time! He deserves every 5 star review ⭐️

Tim is quite honestly the most patience driving instructor ever. After taking me on from another instructor and having to correct a lot of mistakes I was making, we finally got through to test ready - only for the pandemic to hit and stall everything. I dealt with Driving Anxiety after failing my test and he helped me get through it and overcome my fears. He was contactable throughout and as flexible with my lessons when I needed to change things. Cannot recommend them enough!!!

Tim is a great driving instructor, he was patient and kind throughout all of the lessons. Couldn't recommended him enough

Where do I start? Tim at Monarch School of Motoring is a fantastic driving instructor that makes the intimidating experience of learning to drive a manual car a comforting one.Whether you've had 100 road hours or none, Tim makes no assumptions of your current driving ability. He teaches the exercise from the ground up and provides thorough yet easy-to-digest explanations that make you a better driver with every lesson.I only had a few lessons with Tim after learning with another instructor. However, I can confidently say that Tim's ability to teach will provide you with an excellent understanding of driving a manual car and make you feel equipped to deal with any situation on the road.I passed my test this morning with Tim, and I couldn't be more grateful to have had such an excellent instructor! It's been a pleasure, and I couldn't recommend Tim enough! You're a legend, brother! *****

Never felt so comfortable learning from Tim. A very understanding and patient instructor, that makes sure you have fully grasped the skills necessary for the road. Can not recommend enough for anyone looking for a driving instructor. Thanks Tim!
