About Coastal Mini Driving
Based in Birkdale, Coastal Mini Driving School provides driving lessons to clients in Birkdale and many surrounding areas. Formed in 2010 Coastal Mini Driving is run by Ian who has been a fully qualified instructor for over 9 years and with a very successful pass rate.
Ian teaches in a brand new Mini fitted with the latest He-man dual controls and is always being told how much fun the car is to drive. Lessons are conducted in a calm professional manner with a bit of fun thrown in. He caters for all standards of driving from new learners to test retakes and beyond. Ian offers many great deals and also does the full Pass Plus course which is essential for new drivers.
Enjoy your lessons with Coastal mini driving.
Teaching hours are very flexible and can include weekends and evenings.
Ian is an excellent driving instructor. I felt so confident and prepared for my test, and even manage to pass on my first attempt! Would highly recommend Coastal Driving.
I would really recommend Ian as a great driving instructor. He is very patience and made me feel at ease with his calm presence and clear instructions.
I am a nervous driver! I had previously had a lot of lessons with another instructor who made me more nervous! Ian is nothing like that. He is patient, calm, understanding and pleasant to get along with during the lessons. Although my nerves got the better of me in 2 tests I passed my 3rd test Ian was nothing but supportive and understanding during this time. I highly recommend Coastal Mini Driving School 10/10.
I honestly can’t thank Ian enough, what an amazing driving instructor helped me so much and I passed first time today I would highly recommend anyone to go with coastal driving school .
I had a few instructors before but Ian taught me a lot and was dedicated to helping me, just passed my test first time and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is fantastic!
I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Ian from Coastal Mini Driving School. His patience, professionalism, and expertise made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. Ian's clear instructions and constructive feedback helped me build confidence behind the wheel, ultimately leading to me passing my driving test with flying colors in just 18hrs of practise. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled driving instructor.
Really knowledgeable instructor who got me through to passing very quickly! (2-3 weeks! ). Explained things in a way I was able to understand and put me at ease as someone who is a very anxious driver. Will be doing a pass plus in the future to build my motorway confidence. Very flexible and a good communicator too. Highly recommended.
Overall, Ian is a very good instructor with a great car to learn in. Some lessons have to be rearranged at short notice, but he is fine when you wish to do the same. I would recommend him to anyone in the Southport area.
Best value for money, changed to Coastal Mini Driving for my second attempt and passed. Thanks Ian for being professionally firm and making learning fun. You have made my 2024 kicked off on a flying start.
Highly recommend Ian! He was aKeats incredibly patient and supportive throughout my lessons. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass my driving test first time! He made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and always took the time to explain things clearly.
Very good Driving experience Driving with Ian. Very good instructor and will guide you all throughout the Driving class. Passed my Driving test with only 10 classes.
Ian is amazing! SO patient with my 18 year old son, explains everything clearly and calmly. This was the main reason I chose him. Gabe really enjoyed learning with him and he passed FIRST TIME! Would strongly recommend to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Ian was well organised, reliable, prompt and accommodating regarding lesson times and has a great sense of humour, which put Gabe very much at ease. He is also extremely competitively priced, with discounted block bookings of 10hours.
After having previous instructors and failed tests, I’d built up a lot of anxiety about my test. Ian was patient, understanding and supportive, reassuring me when I doubted myself which made me a confident driver and enabled me to pass my test. He’s very knowledgeable, explains everything clearly and handles stressful situations calmly, which really put me at ease. He is reliable and will make time for you. For anyone looking for a highly skilled driving instructor, I couldn’t recommend Ian enough. Thank you Ian!
My instructor was Ian Wookey, and I would like to say that I was fortunate to get him as my instructor. He was very professional and understanding. He helped me understand the common mistakes, rules etiquettes in driving and was very reasonable. He was so pleasant, patient and knowledgeable about all things driving, cars, tips and tricks to park, etc. Really helpful to build my confidence. I definitely recommend him to others. Thank you .
Ian allowed me to book lessons with him with only a week left until my test. I am not local to Southport and I wanted to learn the test routes. His lessons were very efficient, he went over the main things and the test routes in just four lessons. I wouldn’t have been able to pass without his help. I definitely recommend him!
Very good reliable and friendly instrutor, only took me 4lessons to pass my driving test after failed the previous one, I would strongly recommend anyone who wants to have driving lessons.
Ian was beyond Helpful I couldnt be more grateful for his assistance. I was caught in a bind with 5 days until my practical and my existing instructors car suddenly out of action. Ian made the effort and really came through booking in a few hours last minute aswell as the test and it was amazing. In the 3 hours I spent with Ian I learnt more than having spent 10 times that with other People, his approach to training, was very positively reinforcing, with his binder of reference images and just his general atittude could not be under stated. Not only teaching you how to drive but also the true reasoning and theory behind why you need to do the actions you do, his instruction is very thorough and made easy to follow/understand. I would recommend Ian Very Highly to anyone who wants the best training they can get, Great rates and Definatley 1 of the best out there. Cant Thank Ian enough for accomodating me at the last second.
