Iain is a great instructor!
I was an incredibly nervous learner but Iain is amazing at making drivers feel comfortable and confident in their abilities. Thanks to his encouragement I was able to pass first time on both theory and practical :).

If you’re reading these reviews deciding whether or not to choose Iain as your instructor, I can’t encourage you enough to stop scrolling and get in touch.
I came back to learning to drive after two false starts with instructors I just didn’t click with. From my first meeting with Iain he put me at ease and I knew if anyone was going to get me through this learning curve it would be him!
Iain is an experienced instructor with a very reassuring manner that manages not to be patronising - something I struggled to find when learning as an adult. His approach felt really tailored rather than the one-size-fits-all I’d previously experienced. If I had got the hang of something, we didn’t waste time (or money!) going over and over it, but he always made time to address my weaknesses and anxieties. By employing techniques like spoken commentary to help me focus I made progress and gained confidence with my driving in ways I had not managed to with previous instructors.
Throughout my time learning with Iain I had a lot else going on with my life. He always managed to be understanding and accommodating when I was stressed out in sessions or having to take breaks from lessons when life got in the way. I was so grateful to not have to feel ashamed or guilty for struggling with these other factors outside my control. I think sometimes he was almost more therapist than instructor for me - you can’t say that’s not good value!
In summary, if Iain can get my anxious, dyspraxic, ADHD self through a driving test with only two driving faults I think that’s a pretty strong endorsement for his skills! I can’t think him enough and will miss having a laugh with him every Tuesday.

I had Iain who was an amazing instructor. He never put too much pressure on anything. Was easy to learn with him and would always ask what you wanted to work on or go over before a lesson. He was also extremely easy to talk to and just a general nice guy. Would highly recommend

Couldn’t recommend any one better definitely knows what he is doing if he thinks you don’t need a lesson every week he will tell you not in the job just for money. Highly recommend.

Couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor. I learned with Ian and he doesn’t just teach you how to pass the test, he teaches how to deal with the day to day life of driving. Highly recommend.

I learned to drive with Louise, but the phrase ‘learned to drive’ does not do it justice. Louise helped me not only to drive but to do so in a way that massively boosted the confidence I had in myself. I could not have done it with anyone else. Each lesson was tailored in a way that suited me and my learning style, we discussed worries and concerns and worked on them each lesson. Louise never made me feel silly for doing something wrong and no question was a stupid one. Louise uses her vast skillset to help learners to adapt how they view themselves driving which was revolutionary for me. I ended up passing feeling not only that I had just passed, but that I was a confident driver! A feeling I never thought I would have! I truly recommend Louise for new learners, you will not be disappointed. Passed first time with one minor!🤩

Could not recommend Louise more if I tried, after changing instructors I clicked with Louise instantly, she was so calm and taught me absolutely everything.
Reliable and affordable, nicest woman I’ve ever met. First time pass with one minor ❤️

Had a mock test with Iain a week before my test. It was incredibly helpful, passed with one driver fault.
Many thanks.

If i could give more stars to louise i would. My first lesson i was a nervous wreck, and she was amazing every lesson and made me so calm. She's amazing at her job not only was she my instructor she became my friend. Today I passed my test first time and with 0 faults and all thanks to her support and time with me.

Reply from Bespokedrivertraining
My driving instructor was fantastic throughout my driving experience. From the second I sat in her car I instantly felt comfortable and at ease. I suffer with anxiety and always doubting myself, but Louise pushed me through it and I passed first time! Louise is a bubbly friendly lady , and I think that is just what you need when you are learning. Thankyou once again Louise!
