Jack Tucker 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Angus is an exceptional driver instructor, he is reliable, always flexible and very patient - this is before even discussing his skills as an instructor. From the get go Angus done an amazing job at making the lessons a calm and enjoyable experience, Angus also adapted to my style of learning - (Albeit without me saying) which is a true testament to the instructor he is as there is no one size fits all learning style. Even when feeling unsure or phased by something, Angus would take the time needed to revisit these areas and also try different methods which I found extremely useful. Angus knows the test routes like the back of his hand, learning with Angus he exposed me to all of these routes and what I may encounter on test day, and this lead to me passing. I could not recommend Angus enough, he is a master of his craft and he truly does take pride in his work. Thank you once again, I could not have done it without you!

Iona Kerr 1 year ago

Abby King 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Angus is a amazing instructor. He was very good at explaining things I was having trouble with in a way that I would understand, and spent time focusing on problem areas I had. He also has videos on his website which I found incredibly useful as they highlighted common mistakes and tips for all the different test routes. I was very nervous at first (and on the test day) but he was always very kind and encouraging which made me feel more confident and definitely helped me to pass my test first time. I would really recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor in Edinburgh.

Colleen He 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Angus was an amazing instructor, he was really good at explaining how the car worked as well as several trickier areas on the road. Learning with him gave me a lot of confidence in driving and his calm attitude made it as stress free as driving comes. I am really grateful to have been able to learn from such a great instructor!

Luca Moretti 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Angus is the reason I passed my test, even helping me getting a test date sorted! Great teacher and driver, and if I ever get my license removed, I’ll definitely get his help again haha

hannah young 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I contacted Angus after losing my confidence with a previous driving instructor, after a consultation lesson Angus put together a plan for my learning and reassured me I was on track for passing my test. Through the following weeks we covered everything I was anxious about to the point that when I got to my test I was actually looking forward to it. I passed first time with one minor -which is a testament to Angus’ teaching. He was calm, friendly and reliable, I could not recommend him more.

Liam Mclaughlin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Angus is a brilliant instructor - I could not have passed without him! He is always kind and switched on, finding new ways to explain driving concepts when other methods havent worked. We kept a good rate of progress each lesson and by the test day I felt incredibly comfortable and ready for the test route. Angus will get you passing your test in no time and will work on a realistic plan to get you to the level quickly. He knows the test center inside out so nothing was a suprise on test day. Great value for money and a very comfortable car to learn in. Thanks so much Angus!

Sonny Scott 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I only started driving lessons with Angus two months ago, and with his help, after only 10 lessons, managed to pass first time.

Georgia Danes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After two failed tests in Lincoln, Angus helped me pass first time up in Edinburgh (an arguably much more difficult place to drive!) I would really recommend if you’re looking for a driving instructor who can help teach you and build your confidence in driving. He finds the perfect balance between pushing you without overwhelming you, a great pace for learning to drive confidently :) He provides really great resources online as well - check out his YouTube!!

Chloe Laird 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Angus enough!! I came to Angus, after a 6 year break from learning to drive. I was very nervous and worried about driving, especially after failing before, but Angus was able to help me pass first time in just two months under his teaching! He was always extremely patient, whilst encouraging me in lessons and always made me feel comfortable to go back over anything that I didn't feel as confident or needed more practice with. I left every lesson always noticing a clear improvement and looking forward to the next. Angus also puts a lot of extra effort into his teachings, with great videos of the all the Currie test routes and helpful instructions to how to tackle all the manoeuvres. Would recommend Angus to everyone learning to drive, coming back to driving or needing a refresher course etc!

Alex Haworth 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor - patient, kind and a particularly calm presence in the car which is hugely helpful, especially in the early stages of learning to drive. And passed first time - so I obviously couldn't recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Coming back to learning to drive after a six year break my confidence wasn't the highest, but Angus was able to get me back up to test standard and I passed on Friday!

Mia Moretti 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Angus is an amazing driving instructor. Patient, knowledgeable and kind. I felt in safe hands from day one.

Millie Costa-Sa 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Angus is a really wonderful driving instructor. He is incredibly patient and methodical in his explanations, while also being really easy to chat to which overall make his lessons a really fun and enjoyable environment that I looked forward to each week. His knowledge of the test areas around Currie meant that sitting my test wasn't nearly as daunting a task as it could have been as he made sure that I was confident in driving a wide range of possible routes. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody looking for a driving instructor in Edinburgh (and I've already recommended him to a couple of my friends looking to start lessons soon)!!

Douglas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Although I didn’t have any opportunities to drive outside of lessons Angus helped me to very quickly become a more confident and competent driver than I thought I could be, his encouragement and advice were perfectly balanced to help me steadily improve and pass my test.

Matthew Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Angus has been the absolute best instructor I could have wished for. I failed my test when I was 18 a couple times with a not-so-great instructor, and only decided to start taking lessons again 5 years later. Angus' style of teaching has been really great for me as he helps you to become truly confident on the road, feeling I could master all aspects of driving rather than just barely being test ready in them. I left every lesson always noticing a clear improvement. Passed my first driving test after Angus' instruction with just 2 minors, and would recommend Angus to everyone.

Karen Keegan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test first time after starting my lessons with Angus last year. I was initially quite anxious about driving and had a few sleepless nights starting out my lessons, but Angus put me at ease immediately and gave me lots of instructions and advice while out driving that really helped me build up my confidence. Angus was always very flexible with lessons too and this really helped with my changeable schedule. I'm so grateful to have learned with him and would recommend him highly if you are nervous about learning to drive. I can't wait to get out on the road now! Thanks Angus!

Oliver Travers 2 years ago

He always showed up to lessons on time and I always felt like I was making great progress after each one. I started off quite a nervous driver but Angus made me feel very comfortable in the car and was always patient with me, even when I made really silly mistakes.

Rachel Petrie 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend Angus. My son was initially very anxious and hugely lacking confidence. He took a while to feel coordinated and comfortable behind the wheel, and I think he believed he’d never be able to drive safely. However, he passed his test first time today! Angus is highly engaging, a great communicator and highly efficient. He has an ability to instil confidence, not only in my son, but in me. He took me on lessons to demonstrate to me that I could safely take my son out in my own car!! Thanks so much .

I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons in Edinburgh - thanks again Angus!

Andrew Parrington 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Writing this after having passed my test earlier today. From the start I found Angus' approach great - calm, relaxed, patient, and lessons were fun. I first started learning almost 16 years ago, and I had tried a couple of times since but kept getting discouraged and giving up. With Angus I was never close to that. He had a great understanding throughout of what I needed. I highly recommend him to any learners who think they are particularly nervous/anxious as his approach was perfect for me. Just an aside - he is extremely punctual and reliable, I never once had a lesson cancelled.

lesley-ann Kennedy 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I chose Angus as a driving instructor. He is incredibly patient and adapted to how I learn really easily. The videos on his website are great for going over things before or after a lesson too. Being 34, I was nervous to get back to driving after stopping lessons when I was 17 but Angus was great at putting me at ease whilst still making the lessons challenging enough for me to keep improving. He was very flexible with timings so that i could work it round childcare, which was much appreciated. I passed first time and credit that fully to Angus's great teaching. More importantly, I feel confident when driving alone now and can still hear Angus's tips in my head! I would very highly recommend.

Isabel Martinez 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Angus as a driving instructor in the Edinburgh area. Having many years of experience driving automatic cars in the USA and Puerto Rico, I had no clue with a manual transmission and on the other side of the road. Angus was patient, professional, non intimidating and a very clear communicator. Regardless of an extremely busy schedule, he always made space to accommodate me and make the most out of every time we went out. You can just tell he has loads of experience teaching people from a variety of backgrounds and different learning styles. A joy indeed.

Fantastic experience: Can thoroughly recommend Angus! He is everything you'd want from a driving instructor - patient, extremely flexible, knowledgeable, good chat. Most of all, he's an excellent teacher. He pushes you just hard enough each lesson so you feel like you're making excellent progress, but never too far to be scary or impossibly difficult. I passed my test at the first attempt yesterday - the statistics show that passing in Edinburgh is pretty hard, but Angus definitely helps you best those odds!
