Learning to drive with someone that speaks English is always a plus - it makes explanations clearer and can help with setting driving expectations.
Here is our breakdown for learning to drive in Dundee with a English speaking instructor.
The number of people in the UK that speak English is 65 Million, that is 100% of the population. All Driving Instructors in the UK must speak fluent English.
Dundee is the 4th largest city in Scotland and is known as the sunniest city in the country - Sundee they like to call it. GoRoadie was actually created in Dundee, so we are biased.
Really enjoying learning to drive and would say anyone who wants to learn go with Webster's
Rachel has been a great instructor. So helpful, patient and flexible. Would highly recommend!
You won't find a better instructor than Rachel, give her a try.
I moved to Dundee few months ago and even though I had my driving lessons I desperately needed refreshes driving lessons especially since I had never experienced driving in the UK before. Looking back I feel priviledged that I had driving lessons with Fiona - who is truly a professional driving instructor. I was always looking forward to our next lesson - I have never experienced this before with my previous driving instructor! :) What I appreciated the most about Fiona is that she always gives you an honest feedback and is working with you towards improving especially those driving areas and skills in which you feel uncomfortable with. She is very patient and thoughtful and always tries to pass the most of her in-depth driving skills onto you. She never made me feel bad about the mistakes I did and was always doing her best to help me understand how I can avoid doing them in the future. Since I am working fulltime I also appreciated that she was always flexible when it came to scheduling our lessons - I found it easy to find a mutual agreement about the times and places where to meet/finish our lessons.
Fiona was outstanding. Calm, professional, and thorough. I was an experienced driver, simply needing to get a UK license. She coached me along and helped me to obtain that goal.
Fiona was friendly and was great to learn with if you are nervous as she would never shout at you or make you anxious. However, this doesn’t mean I recommend to go with her as personally I think she is far to laid back! She barely prepared me for any of the tests I had in Dundee and would cancel on me almost every lesson or turn up late. There was numerous times I’d already be outside waiting for her to show up and she would text me saying she couldn’t make it anymore. The last time I seen her was the day I failed my test back in March, and she told me she would get back to me on a day we could have a weekly lesson again and that was the last time I heard from her! She never got back to me and I since have seen her out on other lessons. I think it was extremely rude and unprofessional. I passed my test after only four lessons in my hometown with a different instructor and he was appalled at how she was teaching me. I would definitely avoid, she’s laid back which is good for nerves but she’s not professional or serious about it whatsoever.
Thanks for helping me get there!!
Passed with only 4 minors! Thanks!
The lady, Fiona was not interested to help me because I’m Deaf. She wasn’t keen, the fact she didn’t questions or ask me if I could communicate she just refused to help at all. I can talk and hear very well, I’m just disgusted in her attitude towards this. I just wanted to put that out there, do not waste your time with people like that.
Awful. Rude, she has no time for deaf people.
Always responsive to text messages. Punctual but relaxed about my lack of punctuality. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks for getting me through my test first time! Also getting the theory test and hazard perception practice for free was great.
Can't thank Gavin enough for being so patient with me. Really great at building up confidence and so calm in everything he does would recommended to anyone. Such a friendly guy too thanks again Gavin :)
After 6 years of failing to learn to drive, a few months ago I contacted Gavin as a sort of a last chance thing. Needless to say after lessons with Gavin, I passed the first test I booked (my fifth try in total!). He is personable and a great teacher. I couldn't recommend him enough and am so thankful he got me ready to finally get my licence!
Absolutely great instructor and human being. Gav is the most patient guy and goes above and beyond to make sure that you learn everything at your own pace. I often was under confident but Gav always made me feel like I was on the right track. I honestly couldn't rate Aspire any higher, I 10 out of 10 for sure. I never thought I'd say this, but I actually miss my lessons now. Thank you for everything! Learn with Aspire you won't regret it.
Just passed my test after excellent tuition from Gavin. I couldn't have chosen a better instructor. Patient, calm, encouraging and so friendly. He really helped with my confidence and I couldn't have done it without him. Very highly recommended!!
Thank you! Couldn't have done it without your help
Gavin was a very calm and helpful instructor who was good at explaining things. He makes sure that your driving is above test standard and is friendly and allows you to learn at your own pace. I would highly recommend learning with Gavin.
So grateful as Gavin saved me and took me on just before my test was due! He helped me prepare well for my test and gave me good tips and instructions to help improve my manoeuvres and general driving. Pleased to say I passed my test today! Thanks again Gavin!
absolutely fantastic instructor! Very calm and patient. Very flexible! Definitely recommend Gavin. Can't thank him enough.
Where do I start. Really good instructor, he is patient, helpful and you feel like he genuinely wants you to pass your test (can’t say that for all instructors).. Only downside is that he is a Dundee United fan but don’t let that put you off.
Gavin is a very expirenced instructor and was great at instilling confidence. I found Gavin to be very patient and calming when teaching which put me at ease and allowed me to pick up things quicker and pass first time. I would highly reccomend Gavin to anyone looking to learn.
Straight to the point instructor but very patient and calms nerves when it comes to sitting the practical driving test - well done.
Fun, Friendly instructor with great experience! Highly recommend! Makes learning to drive an easily achievable experience!
Gavin was a fantastic driving instructor. There was never a moment where he doubted my capabilities, and took me on as a student at such short notice. He was very flexible, which allowed me to fit in as many lessons as I needed each week. I would most definitely recommend!
I passed my test first time with the help of Gavin. I had little to no nerves going into the test and that was down to the encouragement and the high standard of teaching I received along with the confidence I gained whilst on my lessons. Thanks Gav :).
Saved me the week of my test after being let down from another istructor taught me soo much in such a little time gavs a fantastic guy and has the patients of a saint.
Gavin is a very competent driving instructor and he provides a great service. As a beginner, I was very nervous and often emotional when things were frustrating and Gavin did his upmost to ensure I was comfortable. He also encouraged me to become more confident and dealt with any problems I had in a professional manner. He has a lot of patience and ensures that you are completely ready before sitting a test. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who has previously never driven at all.
Gavin is a great instructor would defo recommend! I was a really nervous driver but he was patient and helped me gain confidence to pass my test.
I would definitely recommend Nicola Halliday. She is a brilliant instructor, who kept me calm, informed and safe during my lessons. She always fitted around my work and college commitments. I have just passed my driving test with a clean sheet, she makes sure you are ready to be a safe and capable driver. Thanks very much Nicola!
I would definitely recomend Nicola to any learner driver she makes you feel very calm and at ease whilst driving. She has a great way of teaching and helping you to become a confident driver.
I highly recommend Nicola Halliday school of motoring. Nicola is an extremely patient and informative instructor. I was always made to feel relaxed during my lessons and she knew how to calm my nerves. The skills she taught will always stick with me. Nicola is very flexible with her lessons and does her best to work around your schedule to fit you in for driving. I passed my test with no minors thanks to Nicola. I Would recommend Nicola to anyone who is looking to pass their test. Amazing instructor!

Avoid this woman never again will go with her always cancels your appointment at last minute and when u ask why she has a go at you not a very nice woman to deal with!!!
I would highly recommend Nicola as she ensured I passed first time as well as making my whole experience learning a whole lot easier.
I highly recommend Nicola as she is very patient and would always reassure me that I was going to pass first time (which I did) even when I felt like giving up. She is very flexible with giving you different time slots as I wasn't always able to do lessons during the day, due to work commitments. Very nice lady and easy to talk to which made my experience a lot easier and made me more calm as I tend to be really nervous.
Would highly recommend Nicola! Helped me to regain my confidence in driving and helped me to pass my driving test the first time. Nicola was very friendly and patient along with great teaching skills and knowledge. She was also very flexible in accommodating my uni and work shifts.
Dont think I would have passed with any other instructor as I had tried a few times before with various others. As the other reviews also say the confidence I gained whilst driving with nicola was night and day to the pressure I used to always feel while doing lessons with other instructors. Cant reccomend Nicola highly enough, excellent.
Nicola was really great with me when I was on a short time frame to get passed, she took me on with only 3 weeks until my test and I passed first time with 3 faults and only 3 double lessons, and this was after coming from only one previous lesson with an instructor that I didn't get on with and said there was no chance that I would pass in such short a time. Her teaching was very clear and concise, she was very patient and always explained fully where I went wrong and how to fix my mistake. Great instructor, you won't go wrong with her, very grateful that I found her so close to my test!
Did my lessons with Nicola for the first time can’t reccomned her enough she was fab always made we welcome in her car spoke away put up with all my nerves every week and I sat my test yesterday and passed all my family have been with her
Without Alistair as my instructor i don't think i could have passed my test within a year of getting lessons. I was a nervous wreck at the beginning but I was soon made to feel calm. great instructor, highly recommend to anyone.
Definitely the right man for the job. Alistair is very flexible when it comes to lessons, if you need to change your lesson at anytime, he does his very best to fit you in on another day for that week, rather than have you miss one. A very. I had a fear of driving and Alistair helped me conquer that. Very patient, a great instructor!
Thank for helping me to get my licence you are a great instructor and id recommend you highly thanks again
Great driving instructor :-) always fits your lessons in even if you have to change lesson at short notice highly recommend
Amazing instructor,always meets your needs in driving ,highly recommended,guaranteed pass with Alistair
Fantastic instructor! Thank you so much, gonna miss having you in the car! Recommended to everyone! xx
Great professional instructor helped alot
Gemma was really great, patient and professional. She help me to pass within two months. I would tell all my friend to learn with her. Thank you Gemma.
I highly recommend Glad at Drive On driving school. Glad is an extremely patient and informative instructor. She teaches skills which will stick with you always. I was made to feel extremely relaxed and comfortable during my driving lessons, which made for an enjoyable atmosphere. Glad is very flexible and does her best to work around your schedule to fit you in for driving lessons. I achieved a first time pass and I could never have done it without her! Would recommend to everyone.
I passed first time with glad I highly recommend anyone who wishes to pass! Glad is a shining superstar with the patience of a saint made me feel very comfortable and there was no awkwardness! I will forever be greatful to glad for her time, support and assistance. I've gained the best road knowledge anyone could have gave me! If will be sending everyone glads way! Jade mcmanus
It was a pleasure to learn how to drive with Glad. She is open, honest, reliable and patient and will do her best to give you the skills you need to pass your test and stay as safe on the roads as possible. Couldn't recommend this lady enough. Thank you Glad.
We were badly let down by Red, leaving only days to get used to a new car, as well as having a car to use for the test. Glad stepped in (on her time off!) to make sure my son passed, after just 3 hours in her car! A fantastic instructor as well as a lovely lady. Can't recommend her highly enough.
Lovely Down to Earth Experienced driving instructor with lots of patience and very easy to communicate with..Thanks for your help Glad
Big "Thank you" to Scott for his patience, good-humour and excellent tuition on helping me pass 1st time. Happy Bunny!!
Claypotts and Scott Henderson , friendly, helpful, supportive and professional , got our son through first time after taking him on at very short notice , highly recommend Claypotts and Dryburgh driving school !
I learned to drive from scratch aged 33 with Scott Henderson of Claypotts and Dryburgh driving school. Scott was thorough and patient. He broke things down well, was quick to iron out any bad habits that started to develop and worked around my shift work schedule. I'd recommend Scott to any learner, he was really professional and friendly. A top instructor and guy.
Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone for lessons! He was a great instructor and had decent banter! Really miss my weekly chats with him.
Brian made me feel at ease. Talked me through everything , went through everything at a steady pace. Would definitely recommend him.
Brian has been a fantastic driving instructor. He has amazing patience and takes everything at a steady pace. Always enjoyed my lessons, he really helps build your confidence when learning to drive. I would definitely recommend him, wouldn't have passed my test if it wasn't for him! Thanks Brian
Brian’s an amazing driving instructor. Just passed my test thanks to him, So thank you so much! Defo recommend to anyone looking to pass their test.

Would definitely recommend Jim to anyone thinking about learning to drive, brilliant instructor!

If Michal can teach me to drive, he can teach anyone to drive. I started not knowing the difference between the clutch and the brake and using the gas pedal instead of the brake (yes, we had quite a few hairy situations). Michal's patience, enthusiasm, and constant efforts to explain things in a way that helped me learn is incredible. He is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of learning from and just a wonderful person. Today I passed my driving test on my first attempt and it is all because of his unwavering efforts on my behalf. Thank you, Michal!
110% I would recommend Michal for anyone learning how to drive. Really did believe I wouldn't be able to do it but he puts continuous faith in you and teaches you to his best ability. Very pleased I was able to learn with him. Thanks Michal! xx
We bought our daughter an intensive driving course with Michal for her Christmas. After having lessons over the years with other instructors she was a little apprehensive. After lesson one she she was delighted to say Michals way of teaching was far superior. He is very calm and takes his time to explain each process. She passed her test after only a couple of weeks with no minors. I would highly recommend Michal to anyone looking to drive, he is very approachable and very patient. Thank you Michal
I'm very happy to have had Michal as an instructor. His extensive knowledge of the road and relaxed, friendly manner allowed me to quickly build confidence and understanding - I'll definitely be recommending Michal to other learners.
Michal Winiarski wonderful driving instructor, who taught me the skills I needed throughout my learning experience. I would recommend Mike to absolutely everyone, as he was so kind and patient with me when I made silly mistakes. Before many lessons, especially at the beginning, I was incredibly anxious, however Mike was reassuring when teaching me. Learning to drive was something I was really keen to do and I am so pleased I had Mike to teach me such an important skill. Thank you so much again!
Michal was a great instructor. He taught me how to be a safe driver and helped me pass first time with no minors in under 3 months!
I could not have asked for a better instructor! After being with previous instructors Michal was a breath of fresh air. He brought back the joys of driving for me as there was never a dull moment. Michal is so patient, understanding and works on any weaknesses you have until you feel comfortable. He pushed me towards my potential for a first time pass. I will miss his funny stories and banter. Thank you so much!
After starting out with a previous instructor i was completely put off by the whole experience. Once i felt confident again i contacted Michal who was so understanding from the first lesson! Not only is he a brilliant instructor he is genuinely once of the nicest people i have met! He gives 100% into making sure that you feel totally comfortable in everything that the lessons involves, i will miss our weekly banter! I honestly believe if i didn't contact Michal i would never have passed my test, especially first time! Thank You Michal!
There is great room for improvement on professionalism and customer service with Michal. I had a fairly good experience with him until it all turned very sour. With only 1 working day to my test, Michal said he would not allow me use his car because he couldn’t trust me with keeping his car safe. ( his words were ‘too many major faults’ - even though I felt ready for a test). His solution was that I went to hire an Arnold Clark car for my test, we parted ways with a rather cold and awkward goodbye, as I left his car. (He just didn’t care, he had nothing to loose, he had been paid, even in excess). This was the last ever time I spoke to him. Michal would have fully known as an instructor with years of experience, that I couldn’t just hire an Arnold Clarke car for a test as their policy requires atleast 2 hours of hire on a different day prior to a test. I also would have needed a driver with over 3 years of experience to hire a car with me. Given all of these requirements which I found out on my own in a desperate attempt to make sure I did my test. Michal showed zero empathy or support, (not a message over the weekend or after the supposed test date to see if I had sorted anything out) considering that I had spent over 40 hours with him costing me over £1000. Michal’s attitude was pretty much a ‘whatever! good luck with sorting yourself out, not my problem) Of course I had already paid in full so he had nothing to loose. This situation caused me so much stress as I tried desperately to find a solution over the weekend. No instructors would take me on, I didn’t have any friends either that were in a position to help out, because it was last minute. I ended up not going for my test, obviously lost my money too. Thanks to the founders of goroadie, who recommended another instructor, who wasn’t just an instructor but showed good understanding and empathy for a learner driver like me. I now have my drivers licence. Michal is a good instructor , it was the only reason I stuck with him that long. Just wish his skills in empathy and service was as good.
I passed my test in December 2015 after taking lessons with Danny. He is a wonderful instructor. He has plenty of patience and makes you feel comfortable behind the wheel. Confidence was one of the most important aspects for me in learning to drive and I felt that Danny really helped me with this. He is lovely company - we always had a great laugh! Relaxed, professional, patient - just what I needed. Thanks Danny!
I only had a few refresher lessons with Danny but would happily recommend him. Despite initially feeling nervous, I quickly felt relaxed and comfortable under Danny's guidance. He had a good balance between serious guidance and jovial chat which immediately put me at ease. He did not pressure me to have lessons which he felt I did not require and was professional from start to finish. Would definitely recommend to friends in the future.
After 5 years of lessons, 4 different instructors and thousands of pounds spent I have finally passed my driving test! Danny is an excellent tutor; he is patient, encouraging and very kind. He never once shouted at me or got angry when I did stupid things (which was often!). I was close to giving up on ever being able to drive, but Danny gave me the confidence I needed to succeed and I now have complete independence. He is by far the best instructor in our area and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Danny, I could never have done it without you!!
Danny is, first and foremost, an excellent driving instructor. Added to that, he is also a really nice guy who takes time to answer all your questions and queries. The value of his lessons are fantastic and the car is brilliant to drive. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who wants to learn to drive or brush up on their skills.
Brilliant!!!! I passed first time with instructor Danny in 2010 after only 12 lessons (12 hours). He has a great approach at teaching and you won't find a nicer guy. His flexible lesson hours suited my commitments making my life easier. Motiv8 also offers great value for money. I genuinely feel this is one of the best driver training schools around. I would recommend (and have done) Moviv8 to everyone.
Passed first time thanks to the excellent training from Danny, Would definetly recommend motiv8!
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Danny (instructor), learned valuable techniques, and now feel a confident driver.
I was new driver with no experience of driving before. After 4 months I passed first time within 24 lessons, approximately 24 hours. The value for money is one of the best around in Dundee for driving lessons, especially for the quality of training receieved. Danny was a great instructor. He always gave clear instuctions on what to do and how to improve my driving skills. Motiv8 is an excellent choice to quickly become a safe independent driver.
I was an (almost) totally new driver, pretty much no on-road experience driving and I passed first time within 3 months after roughly 22 hours of training. The experience is great, the instructor (Danny) was always reassuring and positive. If I was feeling a bit of an off day, he'd have me motivated in no time. Any problems when I was driving, he'd ask me to pull over safely and we'd talk about what happened and how I could've handled it better. The lessons are very competitively priced, and there's even a discount for block bookings (10 hours etc. ). There's genuinely no better school or instructor in Dundee.
Cant thank Danny enough for all the confidence he has given me! never thought id pass in a million years! time keeping was always a slight issue but always made up for it with good chat and laughs haha :) Actually miss my weekly lessons.. Highly recommended to anyone :) x
First time pass with Danny! So easy going and laid back. I really struggled with confidence and he helped me chill out a bit! Def recommend! See u on the road Danny toot toot!!
Being an older person Danny was so patient, kind with a great sense of humour. Helped me find the confidence I so badly needed to do my test. At 64 I got my driving licence with a clean sheet. All down to Danny encouraging me all the way and making sure I was well prepared and confident on day of driving test.
Doing my lessons at the moment and im getting on great. Great instructor aswell.
Steve is a great instructor, would definitely recommend to friends. He is very patient, explains everything thoroughly and never makes you feel bad for making mistakes.
Steve is a great instructor, he’s very patient, and guides you through anything you’re unsure of. When I make mistakes, he just gives me gentle reminders, and ways to remember it for next time. He is also very helpful when it comes to theory, and helping me with sections of that, both when on the road, and if I have any questions. He has made me feel a lot more comfortable and confident when driving compared to the first time I was behind the wheel. I would definitely recommend him to everyone!
excellent instructor, I was very nervous to begin with, but he really puts you at ease. Carry on with the good work Dave!
david was so patient and friendly. He taught me to drive for a few months as i saved money and I passed my test in January 2018. After i passed i proceeded to do a pass plus course. Which was optional. I am so glad i did as i am now a more confident and independent driver. I wouldnt pick any other instructor. Defiantly deserves 5 out of 5!
David is a really Good driving instructor who is really good at keeping calm and being patient and will always help when he can would not change my instructor for anyone else definitely worth 5 star
Dave is the man! His patience is that of a saint, especially with me. All the big companies look glitzy and great but go with the independent guy who puts you first and focuses 100% on you and nothing else!
I just passed my test thanks in no small part to Dave's excellent tutition, I would echo what the other learners have said, in that, he is very patient and calm, and gives positive reinforcement instead of telling you off, which I really appreciated, and he has a great knowledge of the rules of the road. Recommended!
Dave is a great, patient and funny guy. Always made me feel at ease and is very good at going to your pace and working with you. Got me passed my test first time and made extra lesson arrangements to help with that. Thanks so much Dave, couldn't have done it with out you.
A huge thanks to Dave for helping me pass my driving test. Dave has really widen my confidence to drive. I got nowhere with my previous instructor. I only used Dave for 2 weeks and within that time I have gained much more confident than I did with my previous instructor. Dave is very calm and friendly and creates a great environment when driving to help you feel calm. I would highly recommend Dave as an instructor.
Dave was great. He very patient.help me passed driving. Thank you very much
Dave was a great instructor. Took a year and passed first time. Drilled into your head the rules of the road. Cheers again Dave.
I just passed earlier today. Dave was really helpful, calm, patient & easy to get on with throughout the learning process. I'm sure anyone who learns with him won't be disappointed.
After having issues previously with learning to drive I contacted David with a view to some potential tuition. I'm not unhappy with my previous instructors but David has helped sort most of the issues I was having. David has managed to enable me to learn how to complete all the manoeuvres which I was particularly struggling with. He has also pointed out and helped sort other aspects of my driving. I would recommend David to anyone potentially learning to drive. I passed my test on 21/02/2020
I was a nervous driver before starting with Paul, and now love it! He is really patient and encouraging. Paul has great teaching methods and I wouldn’t have passed without him. Definitely recommend learning with Paul!!
This man is one of a kind, I entered on my first lesson, scared of driving but wanted to break it and learn, and he his patience level was (and still is) extremely high. Best of the Best.
Paul is a great instructor, had a lot of patience and prepered me well for my test. Highly recommend him.
Paul is a great instructor. Very good at teaching and encouraging quick improvement. Highly recommend him. Thank you Paul!!
Paul is a great driving instructor. He provided me with excellent preparation for my driving test so that I was ready to take it with confidence. Paul is very good at putting you at ease and keeping you right on any mistakes or bad habits. Highly recommended.
Passed 1st time with only 2 driver faults. Highly recommend going with Paul for your lessons. Very calm driving experience and everything is explained very well throughout. Thanks very much again Paul.
Paul was brilliant. Had driving instructors back home that weren’t half as good. It’s great learning with someone who can have a laugh and speaks to you like a mate rather than a teacher.
Couldn’t have hoped for a better instructor. Patient and knowledgable, not only will help you pass your test but will share his expertise to help you get your own car and drive it safely. Thank you Alan, I really enjoyed our lessons and I think you’re a great teacher. If someone asks me to recommend a driving school you’ll be passing on your number in a jiffy! See you on the roads!
Alan is a pleasure to learn from, so patient and friendly towards pupils and lets you develop at your own speed. Any friends or family asking me for recommendations for learning to drive in the future i will very quickly be passing on Alans number to them and sending them in his direction.
Alan is a great instructor took his time and had patience of a saint he passed my partner his sister and me in the space of 2 years if anyone is looking for lessons message the grange great prices and great service can’t thank him enough
The best driving instructor in the world. Couldn’t have passed without Alan. So patient and kind. Still can’t believe it. Thank you for all your patience with me
Alan is a brilliant instructor with incredible patience and very reliable, thanks so much for all of your help and advice to get me through my test see you on the roads (but not the country ones because they’re still too scary)
I recently passed my test, which was helped a lot by the knowledge, experience and expertise. i would highly recommend anyone looking to learn or know anyone who is looking to learn to speak to this company.
Alan's a great instructor! great to learn from and full of patience ! highlight of the week was getting in the car and learning!! recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive quickly!! cheers Alan!! :))
My grandson Danny was wanting driving lessons for his 17th birthday and he has autism so we where worried about him taking driving lessons then we got in touch with Alan through my niece who is taking lessons from him and we had a chat Danny started his lessons with Alan and six month later he has passed his driving test and it was all down to Alan I would like to highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to drive great man really friendly and my family and Danny can't praise him enough so Alan many thanks again and keep up the great work, your a great instructor ... ps if you can get Fiona through her driving test you should be in the Guinness book of records lol hahaha ..

Would recommend Alan to anyone who is looking to start driving.
Friendly instructor i had lessons with a previous instructor and was struggling with them. Igor helped me pass my test in 2 months
Learning with Igor felt like I was always safe. He is a very dedicated instructor and I felt my success was as important for him as it was for myself. He is a very organised instructor who also will remember for you what you need to work on if, as an inexperienced learner, you may loose track of that sometimes. He also managed to make me feel capable of passing my test successfully from feeling still a little unconfident 5 minutes before. During sessions, Igor is also very good at encourageing you to take ownership of your progress. Igor is highly recommended from a foreign new driver who started all from scratches 3 months before passing 1st attempt!
Igor was very reassuring and helped me over come my fear of driving. He would always ask me on what I wanted to improve and gave me advice on how to fix the mistake I made. I would highly recommend to new drivers.
I had never driven a car and felt a little nervous but Igor was very patient and explained me all I needed to know. He also challenged me to develop my skills rather than just let me stay in my comfort zone. As a result I passed my test first time! I would definatelly recommend Igor as your first driving instructor!
Igor was great,nice friendly instructor helped me to pass my test.
Igor is a great instructor, who helped me pass my test on the first go with confidence. He is patient, friendly/approachable and explains things well. I have been working odd shifts in the past four months and despite this, he has tried to find time for our lessons as much as possible. I would highly recommend Igor as an instructor to anyone learning to drive.
Igor is an excellent instructor, and helped me gain the skills to become and confident and competent driver on the road. He's very friendly and down to Earth, and flexible with regards to booking lessons. I looked forward to every lesson I had with Igor, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone in the Dundee area looking to learn to drive.
Igor was a very good teacher. He gives good constructive criticism and is very honest and genuine in his teaching and helps you reflect. I would recommend him and he helped me pass in my first attempt with only one minor
Igor is an excellent instructor and helped me to pass my driving test by the first attempt with 0 faults. Also has very flexible hours and super friendly.Highly recommended!!
Igor was a very good instructor. He was calm and clear when giving instructions and very good at encouraging me to become a better driver. I always felt at ease and he helped me improve my driving so that I passed my test. I would definitely recommend him to someone as a driving instructor.
I recommend Igir. He is professional and patient. He has an individual apptoach to each student. I passed the exam for the first time
I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Igor. His teaching was very clear and effective, allowing me to become a competent and confident driver within a short period of 2 months. I would highly recommend Igor and his excellent teaching to anyone looking to pass their driving test.
I highly recommend Igor. Firstly, he is super professional. He teaches you every details you should know when driving. Most importantly, he is good at guiding you to think and understand every actions you make. It's not just about teaching and learning, but also thinking and understanding why. So it's not only about passing the test, but driving for your whole life. Secondly, Igor is very patient. I am a slow learner and had difficulties with parking. He was very patient with me and helped me to understand why I made mistakes and how to improve it. It was very helpful. Lastly. Igor is flexible about time. Due to my study, I had to take lessons in the early morning. I am very grateful he got up very early to suit my time. To be honest, I had the tests few times before with another instructor, and I couldn't make it. With Igor's help, I passed it the first time. I think it's because he has been strict and encouraging. All in all, i highly recommend Igor.
He was very patient with me and explained everything very well! Our lessons were always really good fun which helped me a lot. He got to know me as a person and was able to teach me in such a way that really helped me!
Igor is very professional and patient. He is thorough. He explains everything well and he is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Igor is a good instructor with good knowledge of what you need to pass your driving test. He is good at spotting your mistakes and helping you amend them quickly. When doing mock tests he is strict with his assessment which prepares you for the test; the test feels much easier in comparison! Overall a very good instructor and would recommend.
I recommend Igors highly. He is very clear and effective with instructions. Igors is very helpful when you are struggling and keeps you motivated to getting your driving ability the best it can be for your test day. He is very easy to get along with so i would recommend Igors 10/10.
Igor was a fantastic instructor! Very calm, clear, friendly and professional. I could not have passed my test without his excellent teaching! He has plenty of patience and enthusiasm, i would definitely recommend Igor to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Many many thanks to Igor!!!
As with almost all of the other reviewers here, I found Igor to be patient, persistent and punctual. He shows you what's wrong with your driving and how to fix it while keeping you on your toes. In my mid sixties, I'm not the most patient person around, but Igor stuck with me right up to the test. I'd recommend him unreservedly.
Igor was an amazing instructor! Very professional and knowledgeable, his teaching is excellent! I highly recommend Igor to everyone wanting to learn to drive!
I ve never driven a car before, he s very friendly, punctual and patiently explained if I made mistakes.. the best instructor..
Igor is very friendly and also strict. He is nice when he has to be and makes sure you get his point without playing about. Overall, he one of the best instructors you can find. I definitely recommend him.
Igors is friendly and great driving instructor!Driving and learning with him is good and easy.I will recommend him if you want pass your test from first time!
Igors was a very friendly instructor who helped me pass my test first time. His instructing style was very patient and detailed, and made sure everything I learned was a good enough level for not just the test but for driving on my own one passed. I would highly recommend.
Did lessons with Graeme for around 8 months before passing my test and feel as though I couldn’t have picked a better instructor! He is very patient when it comes to doing new things but will push you when he knows what you’re capable of. Graeme tries to get to know you as a person and has conversations in the car as well so it takes your mind solely off of the driving. He ensured each lesson was based on what I felt I was least confident with so I always came away from my lessons feeling as if I was always improving.
Graeme has been an incredible teacher, he was very organised in lessons and was always happy to answer any of my questions. Most importantly, he was able to deal with my road anxiety and was happy to invest time in lessons to help me overcome this. I could not recommend him enough!
I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor, Graeme is a great instructor and also a great guy. I’ve just passed my test today with no minors, I’d recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive - he’ll help you become a great driver.
Excellent instructor and explain each and every thing thoroughly. Highly recommended instructor in the town. I would highly recommend Graeme in the Dundee. I passed my driving test without any fault. Thanks Graeme for your efforts.
Graeme is a first class driving instructor! He was my instructor for my ADI programme(to become a driving instructor myself) and I could not have had a better trainer! He was very patient and informative! I would recommend Graeme to anyone (if they don’t pick me first!!).
Passed my test first time in 3 months with Graeme. Great instructor and makes you feel at ease when driving. Can't recommend him enough!
Best possible instructor I could’ve asked for! I passed first time after learning weekly with him for 5 months. Definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thanks Graeme!
When i was training to become a driving instructor, Graeme was recommended to me by a friend. I trained with 2 other trainers before and I must say Graeme knows his stuff! I started with Graeme knowing basically nothing about the teaching part, he has taught me everything i need to know about teaching to make me the driving instructor i desired to be. Graeme's knowledge about teaching is ingenious, He answered every question with different scenarios, not just a yes and no answer. I have looked forward to every training session and gained so much information. I would HIGHLY recommend Graeme to anyone looking to take lessons or to become a driving instructor! Thanks to Graeme I have passed my test and know he is there to help with any further development.
Graeme was a great instructor and had me passing my test, with no previous lessons, within 5 months. He was very calm and patient and always helped make me feel comfortable behind the wheel. His instructions were clear and doing exactly what he said helped me pick it up a lot quicker than I expected. I would definitely recommend Graeme to anyone needing driving lessons at whatever stage of learning they are at.
Excellent! He quickly identified what I needed to work on, and from speaking to others he changes his teaching style to match the learner. Would highly recommend.
Graeme has been a fantastic driving instructor. I had no experience driving at all but he quickly taught me the skills to be a safe driver. Graeme was really good at helping me out with any aspects of driving that I was less comfortable with and answered any questions I had very clearly. He was easy to contact and was well organised with lesson planning. I would highly recommend Graeme as a driving instructor to anyone no matter their level.
Graeme was a really good teacher. Reliable, punctual and professional. I had gone through two or three other instructors over the years but with Graeme I passed my test in just a few months, and he got my fiance to pass his test in even less time. Would definitly recommend him.
Graeme was fantastic! Helped me pass in 4 months and was incredibly patient. Very clear and brilliant at explaining all aspects of driving. I would HIGHLY recommend Graeme to anyone looking to learn to drive.
Graeme was great to learn with, I passed in only 2 months having never even sat behind the wheel of a car before. Super patient, informative and really helpful with both teaching & booking lessons around other commitments. Honestly will tell anyone who will listen to take lessons with him.
Graeme is very patient and competent instructor but knows when to push you. I found his lessons very helpful and instrumental to helping me pass.
Was really patient with me despite my confidence issues and making the same mistakes which really helped me get through my problems. He was very informative and gave easy to understand explanations when I wasn't quite getting the hang of something. All this and generally being a nice guy I would recommend Graeme to others.
Very professional and really helpful, I feel at ease with Clare,I would recommend Clare to anyone!!!
I must say Clare is very patience and clam. As a first time learner she motivated me through out. Highly recommend
I passed my driving test over a year ago but didn't feel confident enough driving places I wasn't sure, I then done a good few lessons with clare and she had me driving out my comfort zone, places I was unsure about. Clare managed to build up my confidence and made me feel at ease I am now extremely confident in driving anywhere, cant recommend you enough thank you so much!! Xxx
Clare was great. Calm and very clear with her instructions. Tailoring every lesson to my needs which allowed me to boost confidence in my weakest areas. Before every lesson I was asked what I wanted to work on which further improved what I was least confident in. She also has great flexibility and is able to cater to short notice requests. I would highly recommend.
I started lessons with Clare in the middle of February and passed my driving test first time with no faults just 2 months later, which speaks for itself. We always did something new every lesson and the way Clare explains and teaches you new maneuvers and roundabouts etc. by letting you have a go yourself and not spending lots of time looking at diagrams allows you to understand first time. There is no way I would have been able to pass so quickly with no faults if it was not for Clare, I would highly recommend her to anybody looking to take driving lessons. My only regret is not going with her earlier!
Excellent instructor. Very patient and explains different procedures in a very easy to understand way. Really look forward to my lessons with Andy, I had lessons a few years ago and was very anxious and nervous every time I had a lesson but not with Andy he makes it fun to learn and when mistakes are make he describes how to amend them in in an uncomplicated way.
After failing my driving test twice I was very frustrated and hesitant to get back into driving, however when I got Andy as a new instructor, he gave me back my confidence and He was able to guide me to pass my test . Andy is a great instructor, he reassures you whenever you make a mistake and gives the best advice for handling the road, he’s a great instructor and I’m glad I got him. Thanks again Andrew
Other than being an amazing teacher. Andy is also one of the best drivers I’ve seen and has a lot to teach new starts. Very honest with you on your progress and provides work for reflection so you can get the most out of every lesson!
I was already able to drive an automatic but wanted to pass in manual. Andy put a plan in place for me from the start and was able to tell me roughly how many lessons I would need. He explained and taught me everything excellenty, I felt comfortable and confident under his guidance from day one. His techniques for the manoeuvres were spot on and easy to follow. Managed to pass first time with only two minors. Brilliant instructor who I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get their licence
Andy was a fantastic instructor! His instructions were clear and concise, the reference points for the maneuvers were spot on and easy to remember and under his guidance I was able to pass my test first time!
Andy has been absolutely fantastic as a driving instructor!! I was incredibly nervous when I started lessons with him and was pretty sure I wasn't the type of person who is any good at driving. Andy was great at improving my confidence, giving really constructive feedback and guiding me to a pass on my first attempt! I would recommend Andy to anyone looking to learn to drive!
Andy has been a great instructor and has helped me a lot after struggling to pass with other instructors. My confidence driving has grown a lot with his help. Would highly recommend.
Andrew is a great instructor! He is very patient with his clients, is very honest with your progress and is very meticulous with all the small details needed to pass your driving test with flying colours. Overall great instructor!
Andy is a great driving instructor! Took me from a nervous guy behind the wheel, afraid of being in the road to a very confident and competent driver! Great guy, helps you through the difficult parts and works with you, also actually has a conversation with you rather than sitting in silence, makes you look forward to each lesson! Highly recommend, managed to take me to a pass with no faults in under 6 months! Will miss the time with him.
I found that Andy was very very helpful and would highly recommend him. Passed first time with 1 minor.
Andrew is a great driving instructor took me from a very anxious driver to a confident driver. He’s very patient which gave me the confidence to pass. I felt really lucky to have found a great instructor to take me right through to passing my test.
Very good instructor; he will help you notice mistakes and identifies issues early on, while conveying them to you in a friendly and helpful way, whilst also positively reinforcing your good habits. Also not a pain to sit in a car for hours with, would definitely recommend.
Highly recommend! First, I had test booked in and he took me in to get ready for it just with 2 weeks notice. Second, in 3 days ( that's how many days we've been driving together) I've learned more than with my previous instructor in 2 months. He got me fully ready for the test and helped me to gain confidence on the road which I didn't manage to get with my previous instructor. Third, Andrew is a great great guy and really good teacher. Again, highly recommend to anyone who wants not just to learn driving but to learn driving good and get confident.
Andrew was great! Very patient and clear in his instruction. Passed my test with ease thanks to his instruction.
Andrew was awesome, we did a fairly intensive course and as such would spend up to 6 hours in the car at a time. I was worried that this would be too long or I would lose interest during these lessons but the time always flew by between him progressing me at a comfortable rate, teaching me new things and his chat keeping it fun and entertaining. When I made a mistake he would always notice and calmly pull me up on it, discuss what went wrong and how to rectify it so that it wouldn't happen again in the future and stopping it progressing any further. Something to note, he's very honest with lesson plans, he's not going to rip you off, if he tells you you need x amount of lessons then you really do, he genuinely wants you to pass in as few lessons as you do yourself. Highly recommend him, so much so having passed today I'll be doing Pass Plus with him.
Andy has a way with concepts honestly. Nothing more helpful than his handy whiteboard for understanding big scary roundabouts, and nothing has made sense to me more than the triangle he describes while teaching parallel parking. I'm almost annoyed at how good he was at picking up on my bad habits. Safe to say I will never coast again. I'm so grateful for the confidence Andy gave me to be able to pass, he's very encouraging.
Andy was 1 of 3 instructors iv had and definitely the best! After getting basically nowhere with my other instructors I changed to him and so glad I did!!. Andy will spot where your going wrong and help you improve and hopefully pass 1st time as I did. He was s a genuine down to earth guy and very easy to get on with and very patient. If your looking for an instructor this is your man!!!
Could not have wished for a better instructor than Andy! Being extremely anxious about driving, I was terrified before my first lesson but Andy quickly put me at ease. In my lessons since, he understood what ways of teaching worked best for me, and as a result I never felt rushed or pressured, but was able to learn at my own pace. He has given me so much confidence driving that I never thought I’d have, and helped me pass my test yesterday with no driving faults! In only 7 months! So grateful for Andy’s help, and would highly recommend him to anyone!
Andy is a great driving instructor. He is very patient and easy to get along with. My brother in law and I both passed first time with Andy. Highly rated! Definitely recommend!
Andrew was great at helping me find my confidence on my biggest worries on the road. Would recommend 100%
Andrew took his time to really adapt to the way I liked to learn. He spotted mistakes and corrected them immediately. Gentle in approach and tough when he needed to be. He even went out of his way to clear his diary prior to my test to make sure I was well warmed up and ready. Hugely recommended. I Passed my test with him. Thank you Andrew.
Andrew is very easy going and incredibly patient. He managed to coach both my sister and I through the learning experience to a first time pass in a matter of weeks. Will definitely recommend him to my youngest sister in a few years time!
I started taking lessons but was really nervous and have been putting off driving for a while. Sabba was great she managed to put me at ease, was really patient with me and made me feel confident about being able to do it! I would definantly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to learn how to drive!
Such a good instructor, highly recommend!!
Highly recommend! Helped me overcome my fear of driving and today I passed my test thanks for all the help and advice Alan!
Guys a legend!! best instructor out there
Thank you for being patient with me! I'll probably see you on the roads soon :)
Thanks very much for everything Alan,would definitely recommend you!!
I undertook my driving lessons with Claypotts and was not disappointed. For my instructor I had marcin, who I got along very well and who also managed to turn me from a nervous mess into a calm and collected driver. With Marcin he managed to help me pass my test after Approx 14 hours of lessons. Also, After I failed my test the 2nd time because of a small stupid reason. Out of frustration I contacted Marcin and Claypotts and they were ever so kind to offer a free lesson to help me focus on the area that made me fail my test. All around a great company, with a good ethic and friendly admin staff and instructors. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the Dundee area!
I would like to say a massive thank you to Marcin, who has been teaching me to drive the last couple of months and it has paid off today. Would highly recommend Marcin as an instructor.
I had Marcin as driving instructor. Brilliant person, calming, he gave me lots of useful tips so I passed my test 1st time. Highly recommend!!
Passed my test today. My instructor Marcin, was truly first class. The staff in the office we're friendly and helpful. My lessons proceeded at a good pace. And when I failed my first test due to, as the examiner put it "pure bad luck". Marcin encouraged me, and knew I could do the test no problem. And so I passed fairly easily just a few weeks later. Can highly recommend this company to anyone looking for driving lessons. P.S. I had 16 lessons in total. Not including the tests themselves.
Great instructor, very patient and kind. The lessons have always been adapted to my current needs/problems. Marcin was always able to manage to set lessons with me despite my busy schedule. Would highly recommend to everyone :).
Farees is an amazing instructor. I have always been very nervous about driving, but as soon as I sat in the car I was made to feel at ease and very relaxed as he guided me thorough every step of the way. For something that I felt I would never get the hang of he has helped me greatly by improving my confidence. I now look forward to driving and passing my test in the very near future. I would definantly recommend him as an instructor.
He was very nice and patient, good instructor! Would bight recommend
Farees is a great instructor, I was very nervous to start driving but he created a very calm and trusting environment. Farees asked what I want to focus on the most, and what I was most worried about when driving and that is what he focussed the first lesson on. The lesson was very catered to my interests and needs - he asked what type of learner I was and tried to explain everything in a way that I would best understand. Also, when he was driving he made sure to give an explanation on what he was doing, how, and why - this really helped as I am a visual learner. Looking forward to the next lessons.
Farees was a great instructor! Driving can be a bit nerve wracking as a learner but he is good at keeping a cool head and he explained everything very clearly which was a massive help! Also good at giving feedback in a positive and constructive way. I have now passed my test and can't thank him enough for his help in getting me ready! Excellent instructor and would happily recommend him to anyone who is looking to learn
Farees is a great instructor. During driving lessons he was very patient and his teaching was helpful, although my speaking English is not very good he always was helping me to improve the driving skills.
Farees is an amazing driving instructor. He is patient, explains everything very clearly and helps you to build your confidence when driving. I would highly recommend Farees to anyone looking to pass their test, or improve on their driving skills.
Pamela is an excellent driving instructor. She was always patient and giving you the plenty instructions. I will recommend her to everyone who wants to get a driving licence quicker!
I just passed my practical test 1 hour ago with no fault! So excited! Pamela is an excellent driving instructor. She was always patient and giving you the instructions. Even when I made some stupid faults. I just used 12 lessons(including the practical test) to get the driving licence. In those lessons, she gave me all the information and instructions for the test and the real driving life. I will recommend her to everyone who wants to get a driving licence quickly!
