Johnny Auld Driver Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Johnny is an excellent driving instructor. As someone who is very anxious and came to driving later than most I needed someone calm and patient to teach me, and that's Johnny! He knows how to break things down easily and make it a bit of fun too. Despite how nervous I was I still managed to pass first time and I know that's because of Johnny's tutoring. I'm going to miss our chats every week, if you're from the area he really is the best around. Thanks for everything Johnny, see you out there

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Johnny enough to anyone looking to learn how to drive. The quality of teaching is superb as he is very patient and is great at explaining things to you. There's a relaxed atmosphere in the car and there's good chat too. Being a learner driver naturally can have its stressful moments, and he really helped to put my mind at ease during those times.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You were a pleasure to teach and the chat was indeed good. Good luck for the future.
Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Johnny to anyone learning to drive, especially if you're an anxious driver. I really struggled with nerves and anxiety and gave up lessons for a few years. When I decided to try again I contacted Johnny and was so glad I did because he was amazing at calming me down and helping me to believe in myself. Learning to drive can be so intimidating but he is very chilled out, friendly and a great teacher. He's always got a dad joke ready to make you laugh when you're stressed out lol. I really enjoyed my lessons and even managed to pass first time. Thanks again Johnny :)

Never pushed you out with your comfort zone always goes with your driving abilities.

If you are thinking of taking up driving lessons or know someone that is, I would highly recommend going with Johnny Auld.
