Ian was a great driving instructor! He gave me a lot of confidence and was very helpful with all the manoeuvres. Contact with Amigos driving was great and being able to organise weekly lessons was also really good and managed to get me to pass first time! Having now passed my test and driven quite a lot myself, I decided to contact Amigos Driving for a motorway lesson in order to make sure I'd be a safe and confident driver! The lesson went very well, going over the rules and basics of driving on the motorway and managing to practice getting on and off the motorway safely as well as overtaking when necessary. I would highly recommend taking a motorway lesson once you've passed your test!

I passed my driving test 2 weeks after contacting Ian for the first time. He helped me quit the bad habits I had developed overtime and get new and better ones. I had 2 failed driving test attempts with a previous instructor, but with his helpful handouts, tailor made lessons and teaching skills, Ian helped me gain my confidence back in my driving. In a single week, my driving was night and day different! I can’t recommend Ian enough, he’s patient and makes you feel comfortable as a learner. He will let you know what you are doing well, but also what you need to improve while encouraging you, so if you’re thinking about taking driving lessons with Amigos Driving School, don’t think twice.

Ian is a fantastic instructor and instilled in me a confidence in my driving that I previously did not think possible. He was reliable, punctual and professional, whilst at the same time made the driving lessons enjoyable. Ian was able to provide excellent flexibility around my schedule, and was available for extra lessons when requested. I highly recommend Amigo’s driving school and Ian as an instructor.

Ian is a great driving instructor and would recommend him to anyone! After giving me the confidence to take my driving test before the Christmas break, I was over the moon to have passed for the first time- this is a credit to his great tuition. Ian is very patient and thorough in his teaching- I found his well-prepared handouts extremely useful! Thank you Ian for all your time!

Ian has been immensly helpful from working around my sons Uni lectures to making himself available for a driving test. He has been flexible, approachable and extremely professional. I was willing to spend additional money on lessons but Ian advised they weren't needed which was really refreshing. It would have been easy for him to take additional money. Many thanks for getting the 'job' done!

Ian is a great instructor who really helped me prepare for driving, including all the niches the examiners expect to see, which many other instructors don’t teach. It was a pleasure using Amigos, and the sweets during the lesson were certainly a bonus.

100% recommend. I passed first time thanks to Amigos Driving School. My instructor Ian was patient and calm with me. He is very experienced and quickly raises your driving standards. A brilliant instructor who makes you comfortable straight away!

Ian is a fantastic instructor! I had zero previous experience, and he turned me into a driver in roughly three months. If you are searching for high quality lessons with high teaching standards then look no further. Amigos has attention to detail and the capability of effectively delivering their syllabus, leaving you well prepared for your test. I definitely recommend!
