Fantastic experience: Worked with James for over 12 months whilst learning to drive. James's approach was detailed and planned making sure I had all the tools to pass my test and become an assured driver. During our lesson's James was very flexible around my working schedule often making life easier by starting the lesson at my work and ending it at home which allowed me have consistent lessons in my busy schedule. Within a lesson James is very clear on his instructions and communications very effectively allowing me to remain relaxed and assured whilst learning. I would recommend James to any new learner starting out or resuming lessons. Thanks again for all your help and support mate.

Fantastic experience: James at ADI is a fantastic and friendly driving instructor, who always remained patient throughout my lessons, providing constructive criticism, as well as telling me when I'd done something well. I also really appreciated his flexibility for arranging lessons and that he made numerous additional slots available to me in the lead-up to my test, James’ instruction and help throughout were a crucial component of me passing my test first time. I would highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive. Thank you James :)

Fantastic experience: I had previously had lessons with another instructor who sadly was teaching me not the appropriate way and I had failed countless times. Once I moved to James I passed straight away, my only regret is not going to James sooner. He has a patient of a Saint and teaches you the safest way to drive rather than just trying to rush you which I had experienced previously. Could not recommend this guy anymore he goes above and beyond to the extent of checking at 6am every morning for cancellations for his students to get an earlier test.

Fantastic experience: James is an amazing instructor! Has the patience of a saint definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: James insightfulness and knowledge has been extremely important helping me to pass my driving test.

This proved invaluable and I cannot thank James enough. I passed 1st time with only 4 minors.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend James enough! He's a great teacher and goes the extra mile (no pun intended) to help you become confident behind the wheel!

Fantastic experience: James is by far the best instructor I could have asked for. James has all the knowledge and patience you could ever need to make you confident and safe on the road.

The first time I knew James was before the covid-19 pandemic and I have 20 hours with James. After 2 years I backed to Glasgow and wanna get my driving test done before my master graduaction, I start to have lessons with James since February 2022. It was a chellange as I haven't drive for a really long time(since last lesson with James before pandemic). However, at the end we made it! From a guy not really remember everything about driving to a guy pass the driving test within 2 months! I passed the driving test last week and I was so happy, I can enjoy my summer with my miata on the road now! Thank you James!

Fantastic experience: I started lessons with James last year as an anxious driver with no confidence I would ever pass.

Every lesson is tailored to the individual ensuring that confidence is quickly instilled and the learner takes the most out of each time behind the wheel. I had a limited time to pass my test and I wouldn't have done so without James's teaching methods. I would happily suggest him to any of my friends or family.

Fantastic experience: I am not a natural driver and at age 43, not good at taking instruction. James was able to cope with all of these obstacles to get me to a pass pretty quickly. Theory test coaching got me 50 out of 50! Patient, flexible and honest about your progress. This is affordable, straightforward, tuition with no surprises about the cost or awkward terms and conditions.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend James ADI enough. To say the service, experience and care is phenomenal would be an understatement. James has a wonderful teaching style, calm, assertive and assured, he is the consummate professional. If you're looking to pass your driving test, then there is only one choice. Folks, James ADI will not only teach you how to pass, but also how to feel confident behind the wheel and ready to drive. Five star, friendly service.
