Caoimhghín is fairly reliable and punctual for the most part, and lessons generally ran on time. Communicating over messages to organise and plan lessons was also straightforward and easy. However, I found that he lacked patience in certain situations, particularly when I was unsure or nervous while driving. There were times when I asked simple questions, such as which lane I should be in, and instead of receiving guidance, I was met with silence or visible frustration, such as him putting his head in his hands. As a learner driver, moments like this can be extremely stressful, especially when you are already feeling vulnerable and trying to focus safely on the road. I understand that instructors may become frustrated with questions that seem obvious from an experienced driver’s perspective, but learners rely on calm and clear guidance to build confidence and drive safely. In situations where a student is uncertain, a lack of communication can increase stress and potentially create unsafe conditions on the road. Over time, I became increasingly anxious before lessons and eventually decided to continue learning with a different instructor. Since then, I have successfully passed my driving test. Read Less

Couldn’t recommend Caoimghin enough. Wasn’t ready for test and done a few lessons with him in the lead up and passed first attempt. A gentleman to deal with and very professional. I text him additional questions between last lesson and driving test and he always replied with answers/advice before test and between lessons. Read Less

I have worked with Caomhghin for approximately eight years when he worked with the Irish Wheelchair Association in Cork. He was exceedingly patient with people who were completing on and off-road assessments for driving following injury or illness. He reassured people despite their anxiety and difficulties with driving. He was also great to work with people on returning to driving after illness or absence from driving. He has assisted some of my extended family in returning to safe driving and maintaining safe driving. I would have no hesitation recommending Caomhghin. Linda Horgan, Occupational Therapist Read Less
