I'm an experienced, approved driving instructor based in Falkirk. I have over 10 years experience of helping get people on the road. You can expect a very patient approach from myself on driving lessons, to allow pupils to learn at their own pace. High first time pass rate & theory test help.

Young's Driving Excellence: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Good teacher, very patient and supportive. Would recommend for all new drivers.
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Stuart. He is a brilliant driving instructor, made me feel comfortable from the first lesson. He was able to help me out when I would get frustrated at myself, and he didn’t get annoyed or angry if I made any mistakes. I always felt comfortable asking him about anything I was confused about, and he would always take the time to talk through/do it over again. I 100% recommend lessons with Stuart, he’s a genuine guy and always up for a good chat
Fantastic experience: Could not fault Stuart at all, an amazing driving instructor. Very patient and reassuring which made me feel at ease. Passed my theory and driving tests first time, Stuart made sure I had all the tips I needed to help me become a driver. Definitely recommend to anyone learning to drive especially people who are anxious behind the wheel.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, down to earth and patient instructor. Being a slightly older learner, Stuart instilled the confidence and knowledge for being out on the roads and helping me pass the test. Takes you through all the essentials to help you pass and make you a confident safe driver. Takes the time to cover off any areas of difficulty in an easy to understand and straight forward manner. I would recommend Stuart to anyone looking to get into driving and anyone who feels they may not have the confidence. Very decent and professional guy.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing driving instructor, made learning to drive so much less stressful and always put you at ease no matter the situation, can't recommend enough!

Stuart was patient, understanding and reassuring that built up his confidence and ability to drive. I highly recommend Stuart to all, he is an amazing instructor

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor. 5* recommended. Friendly and very patient guy. Great laugh. Today I achieved Gold pass on ROSPA advanced driving exam. Its only thanks to the superb instruction i recieved from stuart at the start of my driving. I have gone on to becoming a safe, confident and now an advanced driver. I cant recommend Stuart enough. Thank you Stuart.

Fantastic experience: Stuart was a really patient instructor and he properly explained everything I would need not just for passing my test but for all future driving. Due to him I passed my theory and practical much quicker than I expected and I would definitely recommend him as an instructor to others.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, passed first time with Stuart. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor, very patient, friendly and explains things clearly. Highly recommended. Passed first time, thanks Stuart!
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with only two minors after learning with Stuart. This was all done in around 5 months with very little independent practise in my own time. Stuart is very friendly and relaxed, but maintains a professional atmosphere that encourages progression. I would recommend anyone to learn with Stuart as he was particularly excellent at adapting to my own strengths and weaknesses, and equally importantly, my learning style.
Fantastic experience: Being a person who suffers from anxiety I’ve always found driving lessons really difficult but having Stuart as an instructor definitely calmed my nerves. He is patient, understanding and explains things extremely well. I passed my test and I would advise anyone to go with Stuart Young!!
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Stuart with no minors. He is an excellent instructor who is good at explaining things and very patient. He never gets angry or shouts at you if you make a mistake. He also has very good time keeping and turns up exactly on time. Would recommend him to anyone looking to start driving lessons.
Fantastic experience: Makes learning to drive alot easier than i thought it would be , very relaxed easy to learn lessons great guy,great instructor, very professional makes things easier to understand ,cant thank him enough, passed my test 1st time highly reccomended to anyone looking for an instructor
Fantastic experience: An amazing instructor!!! 10 lessons with a previous instructor and I knew I simply had to change instructor. I decided to Google up a driving instructor in Falkirk and the reviews for Young Stuart were outstanding so I gave him a try with an element of skepticism based on my previous experience. I am so so glad I took the decision to engage Stuart as my driving instructor. From the very first class, there was so much positive energy. I tend to be overly cautious and he made me lose every ounce of unnecessary fear whilst driving (my previous instructor had heightened my anxiety levels). He was also very honest with me from the very beginning. I had set a mental time frame of July to take my practical test (some three months after signing hum up). He told me outright that I wasn't going to be ready till October. I am so so proud to say that I passed my driving test at 1st attempt on 15th October. Beyond passing which was a desire, he has also taught me the principle of safe driving, particularly in the UK. It is with absolute confidence that I recommend Young Stuart as an excellent driving instructor. Thank you so much Stuart! Keep up the good work. I am sure we will meet on the roads. Cheers
Fantastic experience: I passed around 5 years ago with Stuart and could not fault him. I recommended him to my friend Gayle and partner Adam to use recently and again he knocked it out of the park both passed and are confident drivers. Stuart is a calm, patient and understanding instructor and i can only thank him for getting Adam through his test finally! 10/10

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend going with Stuart. I was a really nervous driver to begin with as had bad experience with an other instructor.
