Biography
I have been driving both professionally and personally for over 35 years, whether this be on a motorbike, cars, lorries and even double decker buses in London. I’m also a keen cyclist in my spare time. So it’s fair to say that I have a wealth of experience, an love driving!
Having taught my eldest daughter to drive, and passing her test on her first attempt, I soon realised that I enjoyed teaching driving too. So I decided that becoming a driving instructor was a career path that I wanted to pursue. I now have a passion to help pass on the message that safe and confident drivers are a benefit to all other road users. I’m also looking forward to teaching my youngest daughter once she’s old enough.
I am a real people person, and thrive on meeting and facilitating people to develop their goal of achieving not just a driving licence, but a valuable life skill, and all the freedoms this brings. I am focusing my business on Automatic driving lessons due to ever increasing demand from pupils wanting to learn in an automatic.

Excellent result Jay, and the “Legend” Tony really appriciates you sharing your thoughts about your driving lessons with him.
“I had Tony for my automatic driving lessons and he was an absolute legend in teaching me how to drive and he took me from a complete beginner to a confident driver and I would 100% recommend Tony for driving lessons in the Horsham area as I passed first time despite being a nervous wreck due to his advice and having a good amount of practice on the open road.”

“I couldn’t recommend Elite enough, especially the instructor Tony. Before taking classes with Elite, I had 2 terrible experiences. And meeting Tony really was a blessing. A respectful, patient, good vibe, polite and effective instructor: after all, I passed the first time. I just have to thank :)”

“My instructor was Tony and he was great. He is calm, patient, positive, and friendly. These qualities allowed me to feel completely comfortable and confident while driving. I’m from the US and have been driving for 15 years but needed to adjust to the UK system. Before taking lessons with Tony, I was very nervous about driving and often avoided practising. I’m thankful for his teaching style, positive support, and tips for passing the test. This is going to open up countless opportunities for me. The only constructive comment I have is, it took a long time to schedule lessons with Elite Driving School. I was on a waiting list for a couple months, but in the end it was worth the wait.”
