Both my children passed with Ian. He was good at communicating clearly with me and honest about expectations and where they were at. My children were very impressed, telling me, "he was very straightforward about everything and didn't waste time over explaining things, we learnt by doing and it was effective". He built good relationships

My daughter Rosie passed first time which would not have been possibly without Ian’s expect tuition.
The test was on a very cold, icy day but Rosie was made to feel like she was ready, having passed a mock test that Ian did a couple of days earlier. A great confidence booster.
I would 100% recommend Ian as a driving instructor.

Ian is a fantastic instructor, our son passed at the first attempt and this was due to the confidence that Ian gave him to believe in his ability. We always got great feedback from lessons and the mock test really helped calm our sons nerves. We highly recommend and endorse Ian as a driving instructor.

So happy we found Ian, couldn't have asked for better driving instructor for my daughter. He is calm, understanding, great communication with me too and makes it such a good experience, always going out of his way. My daughter picked it up so quickly, such a great teacher, reliable, flexible, honestly can't say enough positive things about him. Thank you so much Ian.

To say I was nervous about learning to drive would be an understatement. But, from day one Ian was so patient, and calm. He made me believe in myself and never gave up on me - even when when I was finding things difficult and asking MANY questions. Thank you so much Ian - I am so very grateful and could not recommend you highly enough

I strongly believe that the psychological lessons I have learnt from him will help me outside of driving too. A big thanks to Ian for all the lessons and for the great natter.

By explaining things clearly in a way that makes sense, he alleviates some of the pressure that comes with learning to drive. I looked forward to his lessons every week and they will be missed as Ian has now helped me achieve a 1st time pass within 6 months! So grateful to have found Ian and I highly recommend him to everyone who is interested in learning to drive.

Ian was a great instructor, with his calming attitude making me feel easy on the road and knowing I was in safe hands, right from start to finish. Even with times where I struggled to picture manoeuvres, such as parking, in my head, Ian went the extra mile and kept explaining in different ways until I cracked it. I feel confident in my driving ability after test and am able to drive on my own, and I would recommend Ian to everyone.

Learning to drive with Ian was a great experience. He is patient, articulate and consistently informative with useful tips which made my lessons interesting and enjoyable. He created a comfortable environment which quickly eliminated any initial anxieties I had when approaching new movements and locations. Similarly, in moments of adversity he would maintain composure and calmly offer instructional solutions in tricky situations. If, for any reason I needed to change or adapt my schedule he was proficient (even with little notice) in tailoring it to suit best. I can’t recommend his services enough; thank you again.
