Latest Reviews of Ian Craigie School of Motoring

4.3 out of 5 I've had 3 lessons per week with Ian for the last 3 months before my house move to Harrogate; i found him very easy to get on with, patient but also supportive and encouraging in the area's which i am not so confident or nervous.
I just wish i wasnt moving house so i could stick with Ian until my test - am loving all his little parking tips and the learning aides he uses to help you learn your manouvers. Would recommend to anyone looking for an instructor. He MORE than deserves that Top Grade 6.

4.7 out of 5 Ian Craigie was a fantastic driving instructor and I passed first time with very few minors and as did the majority of people I know who learnt to drive with him.

4.7 out of 5 My brother recommended Ian Craigie to me after passing first time through him. Ian is an incredibly friendly guy and very punctual and reliable! Thorough at explaining all the details of driving or any question you may have (he knows every part of driving exceptionally well). Lessons are always structured to your needs and anything you want to improve. Helped me pass first time, thank you! Highly recommended!

4.7 out of 5 I came to Ian from another driving school convinced I was a terrible driver! Ian is a fantastic teacher with tons of patience. He never failed to explain things clearly in a way that suited me. He was incredibly supportive too - it's thanks to him I passed - would never have done otherwise! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody else.

5.0 out of 5 Prompt, never late. Ian is a patient and friendly driving instructor to whom I am more the willing to recommend. He will go at your pace, if you are not ready for more challenging driving routes he will not take you on them until you are ready. I passed first time as he gave me the confidence to do so, as with my brother. 10 out of 10 from me - Scott

5.0 out of 5 An all round impressive service. Always on time, regardless of the pickup location. Willing to listen to concerns as well as creating focused targets for improvements. Very easy to get along with, making learning to drive all the more fun. It was a joy to learn to drive as part of this school. Well worthy of the 5*s awarded!
