I would highly recommend Raymond to anyone looking to start driving lessons. I had been really nervous about driving but Raymond instantly put me at ease. He is patient, reassuring and great craic, which made every lesson enjoyable. Raymond is a brilliant instructor and helped me pass my test first time. Best in the business😎

Literally the best driving instructor about. Raymond always made sure to calm my nerves and explain everything to me well. I enjoyed every single lesson and couldn’t recommend him more.

So thankful for Raymond and his patience. I started my lessons not knowing how to even turn the car on and within a few months I had my theory and practical driving test passed. Now i’d argue I’m the best driver in my family. Couldn’t imagine life without my licence now. Thankyou so much Raymond 🙋🏽♀️🚗

Raymond was an excellent instructor and always give very clear instructions in every part of my lessons. I was very nervous on my first couple lessons and Raymond made me feel very relaxed and in control. Would highly recommend him as I had a great driving experience with him. Nothing was too much trouble for him and was always at the end of the phone for any questions or worries that I might have had outside lessons. He offered one on one tutoring on my theory as I was finding that part slightly more difficult and I manage to pass my driving test first time. Best thing I have ever done. Thanks again Ray

Raymond is an absolutely amazing driving instructor. When I started driving I never believed that I would ever be allowed to drive a car by myself or I would ever have the confidence to do so either. I was always such a nervous driver but Raymond really helped me and constantly reassured me that I was a good driver because I would always just focus on the negative. He made me believe I am a good driver and I have been driving ever since. I have had previous instructors in the past but no one was able to make me feel confident about driving like Raymond did. I would highly recommend him to anyone especially nervous drivers because he will make you feel so relaxed and you'll have your license in no time.
