Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with an exceptional instructor, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From the very first lesson, they made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Their teaching style is clear and patient, ensuring that I understood all the essential skills needed to become a safe driver. What really stood out to me was their ability to tailor each lesson to my individual needs, helping me progress at my own pace. They provided constructive feedback and encouragement, which made a huge difference in my learning experience. I also appreciated their flexibility in scheduling lessons, making it easy to fit driving into my busy life. Thanks to their guidance, I passed my driving test. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and professional driving instructor, look no further. This instructor truly deserves a five-star rating!

Fantastic experience: My son had a very positive experience learning to drive with Graham and passed his test with flying colours. At the end of each lesson Graham also gave suggestions about what we could practise before the next one, which was extremely helpful. Graham was flexible about pick-ups and drop-offs. He always ensured arrangements were communicated clearly.

Fantastic experience: Graham is a fantastic instructor - extremely patient, calm & reassuring. He always finds another way to explain something if you don't understand. As an older woman learning to drive I wasn't very confident and doubted myself a lot but Graham is always positive and encouraging which is exactly what I needed.

Fantastic experience: Graham, is an excellent driving instructor. He was very patient with our daughter and only got her to sit her test when she was ready. He doesn't just teach you how to pass a test but also teaches how to drive after you have passed (further than Haddington). Thanks for everything Graham, I will be in touch about our next child soon. I cannot recommend him enough.

laura nicole palmer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: You really can’t ask for a better instructor! I was extremely nervous to start driving and always worried about finding a instructor that put me at ease. After searching for a few I found Graham and he was so kind and patient with me. He always took time to go over the thing that I was actually worried about and thing I struggled with while learning. I passed my test first time just in may and almost cried with excitement. I had Graham sit in with me in the back of the car, so he was there every step of the way. 10/10 the kindest driving instructor you will ever find
