Fantastic instructor
Ian is a great instructor and very supportive and was a great help throughout my learning. He gets to know you and has an interest in your hobbies and tries to relate your hobbies into your driving to make it as simple and enjoyable as possible, whilst having a good understanding in everything you do. He tries his best to make you as safe as possible and is good in understanding your own personal strengths and weaknesses and how he can improve you to make you even stronger and safer as a driver. He won’t push you outside of your comfort zone unless you have confidence in yourself. He is also very friendly and is always down to have a laugh and make you feel as comfortable as possible. I cannot thank him enough and would highly recommend. Thank you Ian.

Ian has been very supportive and extremely helpful from my first lesson. He gets to know you as a person so he can try and relate to things you enjoy, for me it was photography, so that you can get a better understanding of driving which really helped. He pushes you to be the safest driver you could possibly be and is great at judging your strengths and weaknesses so you know how to improve quickly which helped me to pass my test first time! But most importantly ian is really friendly and relaxed and made every lesson enjoyable.Would 100% recommend to anyone, Thank you Ian:)

Ian is a fantastic instructor and I highly recommend him for getting you ready to become a safe driver. He is patient and always willing to go over any uncertainties. Moreover he’s just a really nice guy to learn from. Thank you Ian

Can’t thank Ian enough for helping me pass my driving test! Right from the start he was extremely helpful and organised, using personal tracker logs to record my progress that was emailed to me at the end of each lesson. He also came prepared with clips and videos as an extra visual aid for those that found it easier to watch a video on how to do something over just being told how to do it. I personally struggled with being a confident driver as I always doubted myself and didn’t believe in myself as I should have. Ian really supported me through this and boosted my confidence and helped me develop the “driving attitude” I was lacking. He was always very calm and collected and always came to a lesson with the attitude that if you do something wrong it’s okay as long as you know what happened and what to do next time. He never got frustrated with me when I made silly mistakes and was always reassuring. Ian encouraged me to choose what I wanted to do on lessons so that I could do a bit of research prior to the lesson to give myself a head start. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a friendly, relaxed driving instructor! Thank you so much again for helping me pass 🙂

One of the best instructors I’ve dealt with and felt comfortable and never felt rushed or bothered when on a lesson, highly recommended and just a brilliant person overall. Thanks so much Ian.

A great instructor who is very patient. He will not push you do do anything you don’t feel confident enough to do and let’s you do it at your own pace would definitely recommend.

I honestly can’t thank Ian enough for his patience from day one. I had taken lessons from another instructor but due to certain circumstances this had come to an end. However Ian was then recommended by a family member and I am so pleased that this suggestion was made. Ian is very approachable and calm at all times. I am a very nervous person when it comes to my tests but he helps me to build my confidence and his tailored approach makes things a lot easier. He uses scenarios and examples that are tailored to yourselves to make it clearer to understand. Thank you Ian I couldn’t have done it without your support.

A good teacher with lots of patience. He will not rush you, let’s you do it at your own pace. Built up my confidence. Highly recommended.

I can’t thank Ian enough for being so patient with me from day 1. Iv gone from a nervous driver to passing 1st time. I would recommend him to anyone i know in the future. Thank you for all your hard work teaching me 🙂

Ian was brilliant with me, was always calm and a good laugh! Always believed in me when I didn’t! I had a lot of instructors I just couldn’t find the right one until Ian was recommended to me.

Thanks Ian for the help getting me through my driving test first time. Great instructor.

Hi all I’m Moj,i started lessons with my first driving instructor and had quite a few and 2 driving test with him and i failed twice and i just thought he wasn’t really teaching me much at all,so i had to let him go and i had to start all over again with Ian who i just got on with straight away and to be very honest i wouldn’t have done it and passed without him,what i liked very much about Ian was if i did anything wrong whilst driving or didn’t understand,he would make me pull over and explain and make me understand what i was doing wrong,so i take my hat off to him for being a number 1 instructor the best around Telford….thanks Ian i still owe you some bottles of speckled hen for getting me through my driving test…..thank you.!!!

A big thank you to Ian for his professionalism & patience getting me through my test, top bloke

Ian was a fantastic driving instructor!! His patience and understanding of personality and character was essential to me passing my driving test!!

I would recommend Ian to anyone that is wanting to learn to drive, good value, quality service, lovely guy!! Thank you so much Ian for getting me through my test and teaching me one of the most important life skills!!

Ian is a fantastic, calm instructor that caters to your needs. Whether you’ve had previous driving/road experience direct drive is the right choice he’ll ask questions to find out exactly where you are and will work with you to get you where you want to be! As a motorcyclist I’ve had 2 yeas road experience and I’ve had a couple of lesson with another instructor when I was in Essex, instead of starting right from the beginning he just let me drive his car. Can’t thank him enough for his patients and expert advice!! Deffo highly recommended!!

Ian is a great driving instructor helped me so much over the past year and i would recomend him to everyone. He knows how to relate situations to you so that you understand them more. He is friendly so you get along with him easy and he makes having driving lessons more enjoyable. He managed to fit lessons around sixthform and work and managed to get me as many lessons as he could around my test date.

Ian is an amazing instructor, who is calm, collected and understands each individual’s requirements. He helped me to pass my test first time and really made me feel more confident approaching the ‘dreaded’ day, I flew through my test thanks to his accurate instruction. I would recommend him to anyone as he can cater for everything and will describe and explain however suits you best, he is also very patient, which helps with the nerves a lot! A well skilled individual who I would recommend! 5 out of 5!

Ian was a pleasure to learn how to drive from patient calm always on time and fitted me with extra lessons where he could and on the day of my test was brilliant i would highly recommend Ian for anyone learning how to drive if they wanted to pass there test

Ian was a great guy, was a very funny and friendly instructor who was very helpful and was very goo day calming me down and keeping the pressure low. He has helped me through thick and thin during my time of driving lessons and helped me to pass my test first time, so for that I owe Ian a lot!!!

Ian was my second instructor who was calm, flexible, reassuring and patient which was definitely needed with the Nerves I had. But thankfully for Ian he helped me concur my fears and made sure each lesson was a step further learning what I wanted to learn. I would 100% recommend him for his strengths and couldn’t thank him enough for teaching me the skills of driving.

Thank you for giving me confidence to get throught my test

Absolutely spot on service, Ian is very patient, helps you along every step of the way! Passed my test 1st time with Ian’s help! Definitely recommended.

Since day one of never sitting behind the wheel of a car, Ian was patient and and used great teaching practice to help me achieve a first time pass. Moving me through the different skills required for driving, at a good pace and taking extra time for things which weren’t picked up straight away. definitely recommended to anyone wanting to not just pass their test but be given the tools needed to become a good all round driver. Brilliant instructor and a great friendly guy, thank you very much.

No matter how good you think your driving is, Ian will find and explain how it can be improved. Thanks to him I passed my test and feel confident and safe when driving. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone who is either trying to pass their test or simply wants to learn to be a better driver. Thank you Ian for helping me do both.

Ian is a great guy, helped me out at last minute after my last instructors car broke. Gave me a lot of help and tips which I feel if I didn’t receive, I wouldn’t have passed my test! He did all this for me in only 2 hours! He picked me up from my home each time and let me drive home, and did the same on my test day. Great value too, since his tailored approach to teaching you means you’ll need fewer lessons than other instructors down to the quality of his teaching. Thank you very much Ian for helping me pass my test!
