Fantastic experience: Many thanks, Brian, for the calm and relaxed instructions that helped me pass the test. I would highly recommend Drive Pass school for driving lessons and will definitely use Brian's help again for my daughter when she reaches the driving age. He is friendly, knowledgeable, patient and very encouraging. Makes you feel so relaxed and instructs in a non-judgemental and non-angsty manner. I tried myADL driving school before this and had to drop them due to their temper and attitude issues. Brian was recommended to me by a friend's friend and I found them to be fantastic. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to learn to drive - whether you are a beginner or someone who needs to practice a bit with someone knowledgeable.

However, after I began taking lessons from Brian, he was patient, kind, built my confidence up, always gave feedback during the lessons, he made me a better driver, encouraged and supported me all the way.

Fantastic experience: Brian is a great instructor , I passed first time! Highly recommend to all.
Fantastic experience: Previously I had spent quite a bit of money with another instructor, but for the life of me I could not pass my test! After each failure, the instructor told me ‘you’ve just got to get it together on the day’ shrugged and offered no constructive feedback. So after a (embarrassing) number of failures, and with my confidence crushed I went looking for someone new. I truly feel lucky and blessed to have found Brian as my driving instructor. Within my first lesson my issues were expertly diagnosed and addressed, after a very short space of time Brian got me through my test without hassle and restored my confidence. Not only is Brian an efficient professional, relaxed and calming instructor but he’s a really nice bloke too! 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thanks mate!

I am so grateful for everything that he has taught me and for that, I passed first time!
