Excellent Driving Instructor
I had an excellent driving instructor Craig Pattison, he was patient when teaching and made what he wanted me to do fairly clear. All of his teachings got me my pass on my first test with 0 faults, thank you Craig and Drewmatic!

Passed with flying colours!
I passed with Drewmatic today and I can’t recommend Craig enough! He was incredibly patient, calm, and supportive throughout all my lessons. I never felt rushed or pressured and he always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood each step before moving on. His guidance really helped me build confidence behind the wheel, and I felt fully prepared for my test. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who genuinely cares about your progress and makes learning to drive a positive experience, Craig is the one to go with!

I started my driving lessons with Clint back in June 2025 and passed with no faults in October 2025.
Clint made me feel at ease and comfortable making lessons something to look forward to.
He explained things in a way that I understood.
Always encouraging me when he knew my confidence was down. I would highly recommend Drewmatic driving school and Driving instructor Clint

Absolutely fantastic driving instructor
I’ve been driving with Ian Donnely since the start 2025, after a bad experience with my previous instructor. He went through everything I needed for my test with me in great detail. Ian was patient and considerate, supporting me all the way.
I gained so much experience and confidence in my driving with him.
And on the day of the test I passed with no faults. He’s an excellent instructor and I couldn’t recommend him more.

I would 100% recommend Drewmatic
I would 100% recommend Drewmatic. My instructor Oli was brilliant, really patient and a calm, understanding approach (as a bit of an anxious driver, particularly approaching test day, I really appreciated this!).
I felt the lessons were good value and the app was great. Really straightforward in terms of initially reaching out for lessons etc. Couldn't fault anything.
Thank you Drewmatic, and Oli!
Thankyou Ian from Drewmatic
I would like to thank my instructor Ian who was very supportive and amazingly flexible with my work schedule. As a doctor I found it very hard to fit driving lessons into my busy schedule however Ian was very understanding and made the lessons more attainable to me as well as making driving easy to understand. Would definitely recommend him as a driving instructor to everyone I know.
