Highly recommend Tamas for manual driving lessons

Just passed my manual driving test in Salford and couldn’t have done it without Tamas. Really patient, calm and professional throughout the whole journey. The lessons were well structured and helped build my confidence quickly. Always felt supported and comfortable behind the wheel. Would definitely recommend to anyone learning manual driving in the Salford/Manchester area.

Thank you, Pedro, for taking the time to leave such a kind review.

It was a pleasure helping you learn to drive and seeing your confidence grow throughout the course of your lessons. Your positive attitude and willingness to learn made teaching you an enjoyable experience, and your hard work paid off with a fantastic result on test day.

I’m delighted that you found the lessons structured, supportive and comfortable, as that’s exactly the learning environment I aim to provide for every pupil.

Congratulations again on passing your driving test, and I wish you many years of safe and enjoyable driving ahead. Thank you for choosing me to be part of your journey.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Tamas…

I honestly couldn’t recommend Tamas enough. After 3 years of lessons, I finally passed my driving test today, and I truly couldn’t have done it without him. From the very beginning, he believed in me even when I doubted myself. He has been patient, supportive, encouraging, and always pushed me to do better while building my confidence every step of the way.

Learning to drive wasn’t always easy for me, but Tamas never gave up on me. He stayed calm, explained everything clearly, and helped me overcome my nerves and believe in myself behind the wheel. Every lesson felt supportive, and he genuinely cared about helping me become a safe and confident driver, not just passing a test.

Thank you for all the time, patience, encouragement, and confidence you’ve given me over the last three years. Passing today means so much to me, and I’ll always be grateful for everything you’ve done. If you’re looking for a driving instructor who truly cares and goes above and beyond, Tamas is the one to choose!

Great driving instructor

Great driving instructor. I learned to drive manual in Walkden and the lessons were always clear and helpful. He explained things well and made me feel comfortable while driving. Also really good to chat with during lessons which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend to anyone learning to drive.

Thank you for the lovely review, I really appreciate it!

It was a pleasure helping you learn to drive in Walkden and seeing your confidence grow with every lesson. You worked really hard for it, so passing your test at Atherton was very well deserved.

I’m glad you enjoyed the lessons and that they felt relaxed and helpful along the way.

Wishing you many years of safe and enjoyable driving.

Cars

As someone who lives in Little Hulton I found it very difficult finding a reliable Manual driving instructor, when I found How I Drive Driving School I was excited as his page stated his lessons covered the area.
I'd been with a few instructors before, but this instructor is amazing. He is patient, he listens and he is eager teach and demonstrate anything you wish to do. He was able to accommodate which hours worked best for me and the communication was fab!
If your looking at driving a manual car i highly highly recommend him!!

Thank you so much for such a lovely review — it means a lot.

It was a privilege to help you on your driving journey, safe driving and enjoy your new freedom 🚗

Couldn't have done it without Tamas

My previous instructor didn’t prepare me one bit, but Tamas completely turned things around. Sometimes it feels like we’re going over the same things again and again — but that’s exactly why he’s so good at what he does. He genuinely cares about his students and is incredibly passionate about helping them pass and become safe, confident drivers.

Thanks to Tamas, I passed my driving test first time, something I never thought I’d be able to say! He always knew what was best for me, pushed me when I needed it, and made sure I was fully ready for anything on the road. I’m so grateful for his patience, honesty, and dedication — I couldn’t have done it without him.

Wonderful experience all around with How I Drive. Very professional, patient, attentive and very honest about your driving ability at every stage of your learning process. I was quite an impatient learner who just wanted to get on the road but he would always bring me back down to earth. If you listen to him, you’ll pass. Simple as.

My experience with How I Drive Driving School

It has been a wonderful time working through my driving test journey with How I Drive Driving School. Tamas is a brilliant driving instructor who is knowledgeable and patient. He explained every driving technique in a very detailed way. He is good at spotting mistakes, and to provide effective advice and guidance for improvements. He always teaches in a supportive and encouraging attitude which really boosted my confidence in driving. I have started learning to drive with Tamas from no previous driving experiences and ended up passing my practical test and being confident to drive on my own now:)

10/10, no complaints to be had 🤩

My experience with the company was amazing, I remember the thought of starting lessons being very daunting but once I started with Tamas this worry disappeared and I was able to as a result achieve a first time pass. Tamas is a very calm, supportive instructor, who is very thorough and always made sure I understood everything not only what I was going but why I was doing it, not only making me test ready but also ready to drive independently, always had a good laugh too which made lessons enjoyable aswell as informative, genuinely highly recommended

I have been trying to pass for a few…

I have been trying to pass for a few years and I finally did it! I’ve had a few instructors in the past but it wasn’t until I had Tamas I finally started to believe I could drive. Having previously failed I was so nervous to take another test but Tamas was so understanding and taught me how to drive not just for the test but after I passed , I can’t thank him enough for his constant belief in me and I would recommend him to anyone

Tomas is a great teacher

Tomas is a great teacher. Is very patient, personable and breaks things down for you to understand easier what you're doing and why you're doing it. I would 100 percent recommend Tomas for up and coming drivers of by age. He will make you test ready when it comes to it and will give you the best chance to pass.

Definitely recommend - clear instructions and patient

I would definitely recommend Tamas to anyone wanting to learn to drive. He explains things really clearly and makes it easy to understand. It really helped me to understand the “why”, not just following instructions. He made me feel confident while driving and was patient when some things took a little longer for me to pick up. Definitely 5 out of 5 experience :) thanks again!
