Fantastic experience: I could not recommend hallwood training enough whether you’re a first time driver or you’ve had some practice before in a car you will pick things up very fast and get quick results with Ian. The teaching he provides is one of the best if not the best in Ipswich. He got me passed with only 11 hours of driving lessons so I think that speaks for itself.

Fantastic experience: Ian is incredible. So supportive and helpful and very kind. Never thought I like pass until I had Ian. Always had a good laugh during lessons and couldn’t recommend anyone better for someone learning to drive. If I could I would give 50 stars.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor who teaches you to drive and problem solve beyond what you would need just to pass the test. He is patient and keeps you calm and enjoying learning. Passed first time - thank you Ian!

Nick Chernov 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Ian was a fantastic experience for both me and my partner — we both passed our exams on the first attempt!!! Ian's supportive, patient, and professional approach, combined with his excellent sense of humour, made what could’ve been a stressful process genuinely enjoyable. Ian’s clear explanations and reassuring manner significantly boosted our confidence and reduced anxiety. Having previously experienced a harsh instructor, Ian’s kindness, patience, and structured teaching were a refreshing change and key to our success. Highly recommended for anyone seeking supportive and effective driving lessons in Ipswich!

Fantastic experience: 5 days ago i didn’t know how to drive a car at all and after my intensive i passed with 1 minor!! The best instructor i know for sure!!! Highly recommended!

Lisa Pennie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The best decision I made when learning to drive was chosing Ian as my instructor. He is kind, patient, funny and makes you feel at ease while you are in the car with him. He will teach you everything you need to know and will go over things multiple times if you ask. I would not have passed without him. If you need an instructor in Ipswich or Felixstowe, Ian is the guy to choose! Thank you so much for helping me spread my car driving wings.

Fantastic experience: Ian is by far the best driving instructor you will find in Felixstowe and Ipswich. I had a lot of different instructors before I found Ian on Google. He is patient, calm, professional and friendly and genuinely cares about his students passing, and wants them to get through. He didn't make me have too many lessons, the right number I needed to pass. He will not make you have endless lessons like some other instructors do and you will be in safe hands with Ian. I am recommending him to friends and family as he is so good and an answer to prayer. I felt like giving up at times as I had some bad experiences previously, but not with Ian. Give him a go and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: My journey from start to finish with Ian has been nothing short of perfect. Slowly wins the race at times and this was certainly my story but I couldn't be more proud. Ian is patient, professional and makes every lesson feel fun and eases all nerves. His knowledge, dedication, and passion to help all the people he can achieve success is outstanding and I couldn't recommend his company enough. Thank you so much for helping me through this process, I can't think of anyone better to be my side when I passed with 0 minors today. X

Fantastic experience: Such a great instructor I can’t be happier with choosing. I had learnt to drive in London but since tests are like gold dust there, I decided to contact Ian to see if it was possible to do my test in Ipswich. I had a lesson to see if he was happy with me borrowing his car and since I sat in the seat he’s made me the most comfortable I’ve ever been driving. He’s patient, understands mistakes and nerves, and is overall a great chat. I’ve recommended him to my boyfriend who’s yet to book a crash course with him. Would 100% recommend him as an instructor Thank you again Ian

Fantastic experience: From the start Ian made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He taught me everything I needed to know and more. Even treated me to lunch every day. I don't think I could have had a first try pass with a different instructor. 110% recommend any looking to pass their test with flying colours to give this man a ring!
