Independent Driving School

Matt was brilliant, very supportive driving instructor and friendly helping me to pass first time! Would recommend to anyone!

My daughter passed first time with only two minors. Adam built her confidence, and he was always very reliable and turned up on time. She initially started doing 2hr sessions weekly and then moved onto fortnightly as her test date was so far away. Adam was fantastic and I would strongly recommend him to any one wanting to pass with flying colours. He really cares and has great attention to detail.

I enjoyed my lesson with Adam, he was easy to get along with and put me at ease about driving. I began lessons in December doing weekly 2 hour lessons until March and then switched to fortnightly lessons until June where I passed my test first time. Adam was a great instructor and I was highly recommend.

Karen is an amazing instructor who is really patient, explains everything very clearly and also her friendliness made my lessons very enjoyable. Thanks to all her support and encouragement I was able to pass my test first time with zero minors. This definitely would not have been possible without Karen - I cannot recommend her enough!

Adam was brilliant super helpful I passed my test first try 2 minors all thanks to him. He was super descriptive I came into my test feeling confident I knew all the routes and what to expect coming into my test. I myself had no car to practice in my free time making his lessons all I had to work with. He was super chatty easy to get along with and car was amazing to drive and learn in.

I had Jason who was amazing, I had him for 9 months absolute amazing instructor to work with, he never shouted once, always kept calm with me and helped me pass first time. He was also always on time never cancelled on me close to time always gave me good reasons if he ever did have to cancel which only happened once or twice in about 40 lessons if you are looking for the best instructor GO WITH JASON!

Hamish was such a great instructor to learn with. He was very patient. Kind and funny and helped me pass first time with only one minor. I would definitely recommend both him and independent driving school to any others interested x. Thank you x.

Hamish went above and beyond to teach our daughter to drive and pass her test. He made lessons fun and really supported her through the theory test and practical test. We couldn't recommend him more!

As a parent, I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional driving instruction my child received from Chrissy. From the very beginning, Chrissy demonstrated remarkable patience, and a genuine commitment to my child's success. Her ability to create a calm and supportive learning environment made a significant difference. Ensuring she understood every aspect of safe and responsible driving. Effective teaching methods, combined with constructive feedback, helped build my child's confidence and skills behind the wheel. Chrissy's dedication, help ensure Jessica was well-prepared for the driving test, which she passed on the first attempt. I highly recommend Chrissy to any anyone looking for a reliable and skilled driving instructor. .

I’ve just passed my driving test all thanks for Hamish, I started doin lessons last year with Hamish and honestly had the greatest of fun, had a great laugh with Hamish and to be honest all round a brilliant instructor, so if ur looking to drive auto go to Hamish with independent driving school best bloke.

Chrissy at The Independent Driving School has been nothing short of amazing as an instructor. Her calm nature and confidence building is what got my son through his lessons and then going in to pass first time. I chose Chrissy as she also taught my eldest son, who also passed first time, so knew she was the lady for the job. I wouldn’t hesitate on recommending this driving school for learner drivers.

I just passed my test after having Hamish as my instructor. He was great and I enjoyed the lessons very much. Definitely recommend especially for automatic lessons!

I went for automatic lessons with Hamish and it was the best. Hamish was a great instructor, very calm, never shouted and always explained things incredibly well. Would absolutely recommend independent driving and Hamish to anyone looking to do an automatic licence.

If you are looking for an automatic driving instructor Jason is definitely the number one choice, he's good with nerves and gaining confidence, I had to start from scratch with him but within the first lesson he already had me checking my mirrors properly, he's very chilled out I curbed his car his words it happens your learning, he is patient and genuinely cares that your learning iv had a lot of instructors and he's the only one that's put me at ease, I can't recommend him enough and I'm going to miss the lessons with him thankfully my husband and teenage children will be using him in the very near future, he helped me pass first time he's honest if he thinks your ready or not which is great so your not wasting money on tests, thank you Jason you've been the best.

Highly recommend Adam, his instruction helped me pass my test first time. I very quickly felt at ease during the lessons. It made learning to drive a great experience.

I had lessons with Jason and passed first time. He was so helpful especially on test day where I was really nervous. I always looked forward to lessons because they were always fun while still learning. Jason is a great teacher and I would recommend him to anyone looking for lessons.

I passed my driving test today with only 1 minor, first time. Big Thank-you to Adam, brilliant lad and even better driving instructor. Helped me a lot getting out of bad habits and just be an overall better driver. Really easy to have a chat with, which is a bonus. Definitely recommend Adam if you’re looking for a driving instructor.

I came across independent driving over a year ago, had other instructors and company’s and I just felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere, just doing very simple manoeuvres, and driving straight roads. I was learning in manual cars at the time and it just wasn’t doing it for me, I know I could drive but the other instructors were putting so much pressure on me I just couldn’t concentrate. After being advised to go for an automatic learning, I sent a message out, I had a message straight away from Hamish, he was absolutely amazing! He really keeps you calm, gets to really know you, a brilliant guy! He was an awesome teacher! Kept me calm at all times and got me to pass with flying colours! Highly recommended company and teacher to come with it.

Thank you, Jason, for helping me pass my test. I highly recommend you! As a nervous driver, you helped me overcome my fear and, in turn, build my confidence. I am forever grateful for your patience and knowledge, which helped tremendously.

Learning with independent driving was great, lessons were very effective learning with Matt, building confidence and control in a calm environment, would highly recommend.
