Ian Bush Driving School

Cheers Dan, glad you enjoyed the lessons and pleased you were able to get the job done first time. Look forward to doing your motorway lesson in the coming weeks.

Cheers Will and congratulations again on passing first time. Enjoyed our time together, good company, did your lessons and most importantly ... listened during lessons so that you improved every week. Really pleased for you and fully deserved. Enjoy your new car.

Thanks for the kind words. As you said in your review, it was more an issue around confidence rather than knowledge so relatively easy to sort out but I'm glad it helped and you are now more mobile.

Cheers Joe, wish all of my pupils were as focused on getting to test as you were. Couldn't have asked more from you .... you did your lessons every week, good questions during lessons and a positive approach to your training. Despite no additional private practice you managed to get to a high level of driving in a short period of time which is a reflection on your commitment. Best of luck with your driving and let me know if you want a motorway lesson.

Thanks Eleanor for the review, much appreciated. I think you are not giving yourself enough credit, you stuck to your lesson plan, got your private practice in on a regular basis and were single minded in your plan to get to test. By the time it came around you were more than ready and I had no doubt you would pass although the zero faults was the cherry on top. Best of luck going forward and if you need a motorway lesson let me know.

Review on the same day as passing their test ... never had that before. It was a long journey but really pleased for you as I know what the pass means to you. Look forward to seeing you out driving or doing a motorway lesson in the coming months.

Jo, thank you for the great review. Glad they enjoyed their lessons and that my style of teaching benefited them both. Rosie picked things up seamlessly and is still the quickest girl I've ever had getting a test pass. Charlie already came to me with good skills from his previous instructor but just needed a bit more confidence to get him over the line.

Thanks for the great review Linda, much appreciated. Seems weird that I've known Rosie since she was 7 years old and now she's all grown up and driving on her own. Appreciate you and Raf taking her out regularly, it all helped to get her ready for the test.

Thanks Steve for the nice review, much appreciated. Glad he enjoyed the lessons and thanks for helping out with the private practice, it was a big help at the end in order to get him ready for the test. Fingers crossed that he continues to learn and stays safe over the coming months.

Maggie, Appreciate the great review. So pleased you passed, I know it wasn’t easy but so impressed that you kept going and never once thought about giving up. Enjoy the freedom that comes with passing your test and best wishes.

Ben, Thanks for the great review. A fantastic result to get a zero fault pass at the first attempt and fully deserved. Already have the next booking for this coming January for your younger daughter. Fingers crossed we get the same result.

Harry Thanks for the great review.

Thanks Filipa for the great review. You know that you could drive before you came to me, my job was more around giving you the confidence and belief to succeed. Once you'd got that, then it was just a matter of producing a good drive on test day which is what you ultimately did. Best of luck for the coming year and the new addition to your family.

Thanks Lara for the kind words. I agree that it wasn't straight forward but I enjoyed every minute of your training. Your commitment and desire to succeed was incredible and I couldn't have been happier when you passed... first time !! I hope you've managed to find a car and start driving ? Enjoy Xmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Thanks Rohan for the positive review. Glad both you and Kiran enjoyed your time with me and that you both managed to pass at the first attempt. Both of you were attentive and asked questions, which made the job a lot easier for me. You committed to regular lessons, took note of my advice and ultimately deserved your first time passes. Hopefully both of you have managed to get out driving on your own since passing and are now experiencing the independence it can give you ? Enjoy Xmas and best wishes to you both for the New Year.

Thanks Alex for the great review. I know the early lessons were tough but I admire the way you were completely committed to the learning process. It would have been easier to move to automatic but you were determined to succeed, stuck with manual and did everything possible to reach your goal. A fantastic result and well deserved. Fingers crossed you are now out and about and enjoying your freedom ? Best wishes to you for Xmas and for the New Year.

Anna Thanks for the comprehensive review and the 5 stars. Glad you enjoyed the whole learning experience with me and that you and your family are now enjoying the freedom that comes with being able to drive. Drive safely and thanks again for the review. Ian

Seb, Thanks for the review, much appreciated. Glad my style of teaching gave you confidence although I'm not sure you needed it as you picked it up very quickly. Hopefully you've managed to get out in the car since you passed and gain the freedom you were looking for ? Good luck for the season ahead.

Mark, Thank you for the positive review. To be fair, he was exceptionally easy to teach and it was no surprise that he passed first time. It was a shame he didn't pass before Christmas but the snow caused the first attempt to be cancelled. However he had a very pragmatic approach to the delay and it was obvious to me he would pass when the time came. Fingers crossed for his exams over the coming weeks and look forward to seeing you both in July. Ian

Michelle, Thanks for the kind words and 5 star review. Niamh was very focused on her lessons and test date so it was no surprise that she passed first time. You and Barry also should take a fair amount of credit for the hours you both put in to help get her to test ready in such a short time. Fingers crossed for her career going forward and look forward to seeing her name in the papers in the coming years.

Thanks Olly for the great review. Glad you enjoyed the lessons and found my way of teaching was to your liking and it helped you to achieve your first time pass. To be fair, you were extremely enthusiastic and picked it up very quickly which made teaching you relatively straightforward. Also should add that your parents helped massively by taking you out in your car on a regular basis. Keep on waving as you drive past me and continue driving safely. Cheers Ian

Nicola, I’m pleased he’s enjoying his freedom and he thoroughly deserves it. He was enthusiastic and hard working from the very first lesson which made lessons enjoyable for both of us. It wasn’t always easy but with a lot of help from Jay we got him over the line. I’m glad you appreciated my additional help and thanks again for the great review.

Saak, obviously I’m very disappointed to receive such a poor review and would like to respond but I have no idea who you are. I haven’t taught anyone with your surname or had any pupils leave recently so can you please give me more details about your daughters identity and I’ll happily respond. Ian Bush I’ve left it a few weeks but unfortunately I’ve still not received any further information from you with regards the identity or what your specific complaint is.Both my mobile number and email address are freely available on my website and I’m more than happy to discuss your grievance offline. It’s frustrating on my part that you’ve raised issues with my teaching yet I’m unable to respond to the claim as I have no idea who you or your daughter are or if she ever actually had lessons with me.

Thanks Michael, Although our training was fairly brief it certainly was eventful. I know from your reaction when the examiner told you that you had passed just how much it meant to you. Truly deserved. Best of luck and safe driving.

Many thanks for the review. Quite an easy experience for me because you picked it up so quickly and listened to the advice I was giving you. Fingers crossed you managed to find a car and that you are enjoying your driving now you are a full licence holder. Congratulations again. Ian

Kelly, Really appreciate the great review. Emily was a really good pupil in that she focused in her lessons and then built on her knowledge and experience and carried that work on in to her private practice with you. I had no doubts from an early stage that she would pass first time. See you in November.

Dominika, Thanks for the great review. To be fair you came to me as a fairly accomplished driver, all I did was get you to believe a little bit more in the skills you had and once I’d done that you did the rest. Glad I could help you on the tests and best of luck with your driving. Ian

Adam, Thanks for the 5* review. So pleased you passed as I know how hard you worked to get to the required level. It was tough at the start but you stuck with it and never gave up. You should be extremely proud of what you achieved. Best of luck. Ian

Elizabeth, Many thanks for the review and the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the lessons and my way of teaching. I think you deserve a lot of the credit for working so hard outside of your lessons and not giving up after failing the first time. Best of luck in your final exams and safe driving. Ian

Maria, Glad Paul enjoyed his lessons and it contributed to him passing his test first time. Never had a pupil who was committed as much to each lesson as Paul, he came prepared each time and worked hard …. every lesson. It certainly made sure I was fully prepared. Hope you managed to get his car sorted and that he’s now enjoying driving on his own. Regards Ian

Thanks Akshay for the kind words. The fact that you could drive already was a huge bonus but I was impressed with the way you listened to the advice I gave you and put it in to practice so quickly. I’m glad I could help you obtain the UK licence and from your reaction to the pass I know how much it meant to you. Will no doubt see you about on the road in the coming months. Best wishes Ian

Nicola, Many thanks for the great review. Likewise, I enjoyed the lessons with Ella and could see firsthand that she was keen and committed for every lesson. I also think she owes you a great deal for the work you did for her behind the scenes. Hopefully she’s enjoying her new found freedom and hope to ‘bump’ in to her on the road sometime soon. Best wishes to you both and thanks again for the review. Ian

Stacie, Many thanks for the review and kind words. I think there was always a good driver waiting to show itself ... you just needed a few lessons to remind yourself and give you the confidence. Best of luck and keep to your promise of going out and exploring. Ian

Amelia, Thank you for the review. I'm glad my teaching style worked for you and that it gave you the confidence to reach your potential. I know you had your doubts but as I said all along, if you drive on your test like you do on your lessons you will be fine and that's how it turned out. With winter coming, I'm glad there will be no more waiting at bus stops to get to school ... just a short drive to school in your own car. Best of luck and safe driving. Ian

Sarah, Thank you for the great review. Glad you found my style of teaching to your liking and that you now have the confidence to be able to use your licence and new car to get exploring. Safe driving and best of luck for the future. Ian

Sandra, Thank you for the great review. I know it wasn't easy for Taylor but she worked so hard to get prepared for the test and I couldn't have been more pleased for her when she passed with just 1 minor driving fault. A great result and well deserved although credit to you and your husband who both put in time to take her out regularly to help with her confidence and development. Pass on my best wishes and fingers crossed all goes well for Uni'. Ian

Luke, Many thanks for the great review you left. Glad you enjoyed the lessons and they enabled you to pass first time. Always pleased to see pupils out on the road once they have passed so it was good to 'bump' in to you last week ... fingers crossed it's been going OK since you passed and you've kept your promise to your Mum !!! Best of luck for the future and safe driving. Ian

Dominic, Many thanks for the review and well done again for passing. I know it felt really difficult some days but impressed at the way you stuck at it and you got your reward in the end. Best wishes and safe driving. Ian

Callum Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the whole learning experience and that you found my way of teaching to your liking. I know you’ve already found a car and are using those skill out on the road. Best of luck got the future. Ian

Tiago, Many thanks for the review. I think you are being very generous as you already had most of the skills needed to pass the test before you came to me. Despite that you took nothing for granted and engaged fully in the lessons and as a result had a great pass in what were very difficult weather conditions. Thanks again and safe driving. Ian

Maddie, Really please you enjoyed the lessons and that they helped you in securing a first time pass. You worked extremely hard to get to the level of driving you achieved and by the time your test came round you were the only one who had any doubts about passing ... I had none. Congratulations again and safe driving. Ian

Clare Thank you for the positive review. Glad you enjoyed your lessons and that they contributed to your learning and ultimately ensured you passed first time. Continue driving safely and best wishes for the future. Ian

Frankie, Thanks for the review. I know how hard you worked to achieve the pass, not only with me but outside of our driving lessons with your parents. A lot of hard work went it to getting that pass but it was well worth the effort. Couldn't be happier for you. Safe driving and best wishes for the future. Ian

Tommy, Appreciate the review and the comments regarding the driving lessons and driving test. You thoroughly deserved the pass due to the hard work you put in both with me and your parents. Congratulations again and safe driving in the future. Ian

Jordan, Many thanks for the review and all the positive comments relating to your driving lessons. My aim is to ensure all my pupils learn in a safe environment and also have fun learning to drive. I'm pleased I seemed to have accomplished this with your driving lessons. Best wishes for the future. Ian

Daniel, Thanks for the review and the positive feedback. Stay safe and enjoy your driving. Ian

Jonnie, Many thanks for the positive comments. I know you had some experience of driving before lessons started but I checked my records and 17 hours is still impressive. I also enjoyed the lessons, you were easy to teach but always asked the right questions and had the correct attitude for every lesson. Enjoy your driving and good luck with those track days you were so keen to do. Ian

Reece, Thanks for the kind review. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your lessons and this showed in a fantastic pass with just the 2 minor faults. I also enjoyed our time together. You picked it all up very quickly and focused each week on what we were working on. I know you were nervous leading up to your delayed test but I was convinced you would pass and you proved me right. Well done again and safe driving. Ian

Femi, Really appreciate your positive comments, thank you. I'm glad you found my style of teaching helpful to you and that it prepared you well for your test. I enjoyed teaching you as well, particularly in that you were always attentive and took on board my comments. Thanks again and happy driving.
