Greys Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I had Ian as my driving instructor. His patience was very much appreciated and his support in the learning process was brilliant for me as he helped boost my confidence. I loved learning with Ian and would highly recommend!
Thanks Ben it was a pleasure to help you learn to drive. And achieve a first time pass.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Ian, was always very patient with me and certainly knew his stuff.
Thanks for the review Joe.
Fantastic experience: Ive had quite a lot of hours worth of lessons with Ian to say the least as it’s taken me a while to feel confident with driving. This has absolutely nothing to do with Ian’s ability to teach as I probably would have needed many, many more hours if I went with someone else. Not only has Ian been the most patient, knowledgeable, and professional driving instructor but also a brilliant counsellor at times! He would never bite my head off for making silly mistakes or asking stupid questions and has always been extremely thorough when explaining things and giving examples. I couldn’t have chosen a better instructor to help me finally gain my independence and learn one of life’s most valuable skills. Getting my pink license was a struggle, but it’s well worth it for the relief and sense of freedom and I can’t thank Ian enough for being there every step of the way!
Fantastic experience: So glad I had Ian to teach me how to drive! Super friendly, knows his stuff and very patient! I loved every lesson! I would 100% recommend him to anyone. Thanks so much for all of your help Ian!! I’ll beep if I see you out and about :D
Kind words, Thanks Amanda. I will keep my eye out for you. Stay safe.
Fantastic experience: ian helped me pass my test and understand different parts of driving i was stuck on, very thorough and explained everything in detail. would definitely recommend!!
Thanks Maddie, you were very easy to help. Congratulations on passing your test.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor highly recommended
Thanks Mate Congratulations on passing today.
Fantastic experience: Ian, was a amazing teacher, who has not only showed me how to drive, but how to be safe and considerate. He had spent a long time teaching me and been patient not only in my driving but helped control my nerves on my test date, I would highly recommend to anyone who has any struggles with anxiety or battle of the mind with driving.
Thanks Clayton. You can take a lot of the credit for working hard. And taking on board everything I told you.
Fantastic experience: Ian is reliable, flexible and truly cares about making sure his students become both competent & confident with their driving. Both my sons have had lessons with Ian & past their tests. Never once did either of them have bad words to say about Ian, they both enjoyed their lessons with him & valued his experience & logical advice. I would strongly recommend Ian to anyone seeking driving lessons. Thank you Ian, truly appreciated. Bev
You're welcome Bev, it's was a pleasure helping both of the lads get their independence.
Fantastic experience: The best instructor i’ve had, after two years i’ve finally passed however Ian has been the most supportive person when it comes to driving, always working around my schedule at uni and work to make sure I was confident enough to pass. Each lesson I felt better within my driving due to having such a great instructor who actually cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Couldn’t recommend anyone better to teach someone to drive, especially as I was quite a nervous driver who spoke every second and got distracted very easily. Ian happily put up with this and made sure I felt comfortable and safe whilst managing distractions and overthinking to eventually pass. many thanks to him.
Thanks Sav, I am not sure I had much choice in putting up with your constant chatter. Although you do make me laugh . Thanks for a wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving lessons. Useful constructive feedback given after each lesson. Izzy has developed great road awareness having lessons with Ian.
Thanks very much for your review. Izzy was eager to learn.
Fantastic experience: My Son gained brilliant knowledge and confidence on the road through Greys. He passed first time within 9 months and that was thanks to Ian and his expert approach to teaching. Thanks so much
Thanks Jennie it was a pleasure working with him to pass his test and help him become a safe driver.
Fantastic experience: From my first driving lesson , Ian calmed any nerves or concerns I had and made sure to be patient and always giving advice where necessary whilst making sure to go over anything I felt unconfident with helping me to pass my theory and practical tests both 1st time ! Would highly recommend as a driving instructor
Thanks very much Alisia. You put in the work achieve the result you wanted.
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Ian for working hard to keep me calm during the lessons and given me reassurance whenever I needed it to help me drive confidently. Despite me being an anxious driver, I have thoroughly enjoyed all the lessons and I will certainly miss having them. Also, thankfully no more Toast incidents haha
Hahaha Toast will always be in the back of your mind as you drive past. You also put in the hard work Alex. Congratulations on passing first time
Fantastic experience: Ian was a great help for me as parents to check they are up-to-date when also helping with additional lessons. The app works really well especially in helping Finn pass the hazards test. Ian was very knowledgeable and flexible. Finn enjoyed his lessons.
Thanks Diane, I am glad Finn enjoyed his lessons. And the help was appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I always felt confident and safe with Ian
Nice to hear Ryan thanks very much. Congratulations on passing first time.
Fantastic experience: I has an amazing experience driving with Ian. He made sure I was comfortable with everything that we was doing in that lesson and made sure I understood what I needed to do. Every lesson I would get in the car and be abit nervous but Ian understood how I felt and made sure that I was ok and happy with what we was going to do. Overall Ian made me so confident in driving and also in myself. Thank you so much Ian for everything.
It's has been a pleasure working with you to get your licence Chloe. Thanks for the lovely review.
Fantastic experience: Started lessons with Ian towards the end of last year after giving up on driving due my horrendous anxiety and nerves towards the roads. However as soon as I started lessons, Ian completely changed my mindset and got me to love driving again! He was very patient, supportive and overall made me feel very comfortable behind the wheel! Passed with only 3 minors and couldn’t recommend enough!
Aww thanks Ella that's a lovely review. It was a pleasure working with you to get your licence.
Fantastic experience: Overall great experience learning with Ian, he made learning to drive much easier for me and helped me pass first time. I couldn’t recommend Ian enough!
Thanks Kian, I hope you're enjoying driving
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Greys Driving School enough. I have had two previous instructors and I was so anxious about starting lessons again (after 10 years), but Ian kept my mind at ease and kept me calm, I even passed first time! Thank you so much for everything!
Thanks very much Moll. It was my pleasure to help you get your full licence.
Fantastic experience: Absolute amazing driving instructor, I came to Ian looking to pass my test with him and he got me to that point. He was really nice and understanding and helped me along the way. I would fully recommend.
Cheers Jack
Fantastic experience: Great instructor ! Would definitely recommend
Thanks very much
Fantastic experience: Such a great instructor. I was really nervous to start driving lessons, but Ian put me at ease with calm, patient lessons allowing me to go over things as many times as I needed. He was definitely the reason I passed first time, couldn’t have pick a better instructor. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Thanks very much Sophie for your kind words. You put in the effort to understand what it takes to pass first time.
Fantastic experience: Ian has been brilliant - our son lost some confidence with his first instructor being a bit of a 'shouter' then failed his test. After explaining the position to Ian on a pretty extensive call. We arranged an assessment lesson and he talked us through how he'd rebuild his confidence and get him through the test. He's been brilliant, patient, well organised, reliable and importantly today has the magic pass and is a confident competent young driver. Can't thank Ian enough for the professional brilliant service highly recommend and looking forward to a couple of motorway lessons - thanks Ian
Thanks very much John for a fantastic review. My job was made easy by Alex being a great pupil keen and willing to learn. He deserved to pass his test after putting in the hard work.

Fantastic experience: Fab driving school teacher my daughter was extremely comfortable and felt very confident with Ian. He covers everything you need to know for your test. She passed 1st time. I would recommend to anyone thinking of learning to drive.
Thanks very much Susan
Fantastic experience: I've been learning to drive with Ian since October 2020 and i couldn't have picked a better instructor. As someone who put off driving because i thought i'd be too nervous or scared i feel very relaxed on my lessons and enjoy them as Ian's coaching methods are extremely effective. He's clear with the objectives of each lesson and his lesson plans flow well allowing me to keep going over what i've previously learnt aswell as learning more each lesson. He's calm and extremely easy to get on with so that you can have a laugh on your lesson making learning more enjoyable. If you want to learn to drive and worry about being able to become a good driver or if you'll be able to understand or even about the instructor-learner dynamic, definitely go with Ian Grey Driving School.
Such kind words Emily, Thank you. I do like to make the lessons enjoyable and informative. It does help having a great pupil too.

Cheers Craig
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Ian enough. He clearly explained how to deal with each situation I struggled with. He didn’t teach me the bare minimum to pass but instead how to be a safe driver. Thanks to Ian I was able to pass my test first try. Thank you Ian!
Your welcome Lloyd, Thanks for the great review.

Thanks very much Conor for a great review. You put in the hard work, the proof is in your result. Zero Faults.
Fantastic experience: Ian is an amazing teacher! Being quite nervous to get behind the wheel, Ian was so patient and kind and made me feel completely at ease. Rather than feeling apprehensive about my next lesson, I always looked forward to them thanks to Ian. I was recommended Ian by 3 of my friends who passed with him and I have then gone on to recommend him to all of my friends looking for a driving instructor in the local area as he was so brilliant! I couldn’t have hoped for a better teacher! Thank you Ian :)
Your very welcome Anya, Thanks for such a lovely review.
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor who made me feel so at ease. Couldn't recommend enough.
Thanks Emily for a lovely review.
Fantastic experience: I loved my time with Ian and thanks to him I passed first time. Ian is by far one of if not the best instructor and I highly recommend choosing Ian to be your driving instructor as He is friendly and I can’t put into words how great he is at his job and going over each topic and making sure you understand. Definitely the best about
Thanks very much Jake that's a fantastic review, I think I will book some lessons with this fella he sounds good.
Fantastic experience: Ian is a great instructor. I have had 2 instructors before him. My first instructor was a really good but wasn't strict enough and wasn't telling me were I was going wrong. My second instructor made me feel paranoid all the time because of how strict he was and he would tell me off for making a simple mistake. Ian is neutral so I got the best of both with Ian. He made me feel comfortable but aware of the road and I ended up getting only 2 minors on my final test. Thank you Ian and I would recommend anyone to you if they was asking
Thanks very much that's a fantastic review. Still not got your haircut though.
Fantastic experience: Professional, flexible and great quality driving lessons with an experienced teacher. Would highly recommend
Thanks very much Jack, I really appreciate that.
