Tam is an excellent driving instructor

Tam is an excellent driving instructor. Always went out his way to make time for my lessons round about childcare and work and even let me bring my daughter on lessons with me which helped with my nerves driving with my daughter in the car. So patient and calming when your on the road could not fault him at all. Thank you for your time and patience tam!!

Best instructor in Glasgow

After 10 years of stopping then starting my lessons again by being put off by different instructors I finally came along this legend and passed an intensive course in no time. Tam is a great instructor and an even better person. Was very patient as I don't think I was the easiest person to teach at times and was always there threw whats app to answer any questions I had before or after lessons, couldn't ask for a better instructor and now friend. If you want a cool, down to earth easy to talk to instructor who will get you passed on no time he's is your man. 5 stars

Thomas is a great driving instructor and there are no faults with him, he is patient with you even if you have done the same mistake over and over again, he’s funny which keeps you calm and stops you worrying about being to slow etc, he also knows what’s he doing and will let you sit your driving test when he knows you will do really well, he is a really great driving instructor and will always do what he need to make sure you are able to pass your test

I would honestly recommend…

I would honestly recommend duncansdrivingschool to anyone who's looking to take on driving lessons, my experience with Tam was fantastic from start to finish, he is extremely committed towards helping his pupils not only pass but transform them into a safe driver on the roads. He is very patient, understanding and I wouldn't have got my driving licence without him constantly motivating me and encouraging me.

I can wholeheartedly say Tam is an amazing instructor. It doesn’t even feel like my instructor more like a friend . Always patient, chatty, funny, kind, & respectful & very encouraging. Learning to drive can be a stressful experience but he always made it enjoyable and stress free. I started with Tam in March on an intensive course it was 3 months of consistency and studying. I am forever grateful he taught me. He is really calm and chilled if you make mistakes he ensures to fine tune your weaknesses he’s calm and keeps you at ease until you learn at your pace. He’s always ready to answer your questions. Or even crack a joke and keep the conversation flowing. I have been lucky to have him and I highly highly recommend Tam if you want a friendly fun instructor to learn to drive. 100% reccomend the intensive course.

Amazing. Thank you

Tam is an amazing instructor

Tam is an amazing instructor, he has the patience of a saint, I did weekly lessons with tam and at 1 point was ready to give up learning manual but tam wouldn't let me as he seen the potential that I could drive. Having now passed my test first time, 1 week ago tam also helps you have the confidence for when you pass you test for driving alone without an instructor in the car. Thank you for being so patient and providing me with enjoyable lessons so happy I picked yous couldn't recommend you enough!!

Great instructor for intensive courses!

Tam was a fantastic instructor and made the lessons very enjoyable. He knows how valuable your time and money is so he makes great effort to get you up to test standard and his teaching methods for an intensive course can work at anybody’s speed. He’s a good laugh in the car so it’s easy to spend time with him for longer intensive lessons. I completely recommend Tam!

Amazing Instructor!!!

I passed my test first time with Tam! He is a really great driving instructor, he never got angry when I made mistakes or struggled with something repeatedly. He made me feel really comfortable in the car, I never dreaded a lesson. I’m very happy I went with Tam as my instructor.

Fantastic Intensive Course!!!

I passed on my second test and couldn't be happier with the process. I went for intensive lessons and it's definitely worth it. I passed in 5 months having never driven before.

Tam is the best instructor you could ask for. He is calm, patient and he explains everything very well. When you are struggling, he works with you to find the solutions.

I did an intensive driving course at Duncan’s Driving School & loved every lesson with Tam. The course was extremely informative & taught to a very high standard, I would recommend the intensive course to anyone that is able to do it as 3 months from starting I got a first time pass! Tam is patient and always goes above & beyond to provide a positive experience while driving. Each lesson I felt more confident & Tam would always be encouraging on the lead up to my test! The level of teaching Tam has provided has made me feel like I can take on any road or obstacle! Thank you for being so patient & just a great person to talk to & be around. I’m so glad I chose Duncan’s Driving School I would HIGHLY recommend to everyone! I would have never been able to pass without Tam & having my license is going to make my life 100x easier. THANK YOU!!!

highly recommend!!

Over my driving lessons with Tam, he was always patient, caring about you understanding the rules of the road/manoeuvres, and had a great attitude to you learning and getting ready to pass your test. He was always so accommodating to my travelling and university commitments. He was a great teacher and was supportive and helped me become confident in my driving ability. I would recommend him to anyone who wants driving lessons. I cannot thank him enough for the support he gave me in the time leading up to my test.
