1st time pass, couldn't be happier!

1st time pass, couldn't be happier!
I did my driving lessons with Iain Wright and we got on like house on fire. He's intelligent, patient, observant and a great teacher willing to accommodate to the type of person you are. Hence, my neurodivergence wasn't a problem. He thought me how to drive safely for life, setting clear goals and explaining everything in detail. I would highly recommend Iain if you'd like to learn to drive in a friendly atmosphere with a knowledgeable and safety-orientated instructor.

Iain Wright is the Best Instructor

Iain Wright is the best instructor I’ll recommend for everyone. He took his time and taught me through all the basics and the skills I need not only to pass my test but to be prepared for life time on the road. Thank you Iain. I really appreciate it for seeing me through to pass my test.

Iain Wright

Iain's a first class driving instructor and I can't recommend him highly enough. Having had 12hrs previous tuition I was unexpectedly left without an instructor. Iain came to the rescue and managed to fit 17hrs tuition into 4 weeks, getting me fully prepared, confident and test ready. He is so cheerful and driving lessons were relaxing and joyful. He is supremely helpful and answered all my many Q's with clear concise and brilliant advice. His help allowed me to pass first time and more importantly to enable me to be a safe and competent young driver. He genuinely is the platinum standard of Driving Instructors.

Great instructor!

Andy's not just a great instructor but an all round great bloke! Hes always calm and collected, encouraging and always smiling. He took a genuine interest in me and my career which gave a calm and friendly atmosphere to the lessons. Had a good laugh along the way as well. Passed today and wouldn't be at this stage without him. Cheers mate!

Andy Orlowski Driving Instructor

Andy Orlowski is not only an amazing driving instructor but an all round amazing guy! From start to finish our lessons have always been informative, fun and such a relaxed atmosphere! If it wasn't for him I don't think I would of passed first time! He was always on time and enthusiastic on our lessons making it so easy to learn and become the confident driver I have become! I am slightly sad that I will no longer have my weekly driving lessons with him as I was always looking forward to them but the excitement on his face when I told him I passed was just the best thing to see after a nerve-wracking test! I can't recommend him highly enough! Thankyou for everything!

Best driving instructor

I had Andy Orlowski as my driving instructor, if you’re a nervous person he is best person for you. Made me feel comfortable and relaxed, made learning the roads and driving fun. Made it feel as easy as he could for me. Every bit of information I needed to know he showed/told me. When going for my test I felt very confident and passed with only 1 minor and that’s all thanks to Andy! I highly recommend Him!

Andy Orlowski deserves a medal!

Andy Orlowski deserves a medal! Patient, supportive and an all round brilliant instructor. Andy stepped in when we were badly let down and went out of his way to ensure Georgina passed her test first time today with no minors. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you!!!!

Thank you Andy

Had Andy as my instructor! Absolutely incredible. Definitely brought me out of my comfort zone, made me feel at ease, was more of a friend than an instructor. Couldn’t have have asked for anyone better. Thank you Andy! :))

Thank you Andy

I couldn’t thank Andy enough for the three months he’s had me. I would look forward to every single one of his lessons, never a dull moment between us with constant laughs. The moment I passed, his face lite up with joy and that was the best to see after a nervous day! Andy’s a one of a kind driver instructor, he is not just a driver teacher he very quickly becomes a friend that you can joke with.

Thank you again Andy for putting up with me! I wish you all the best with your driving instructing!!

Couldn’t have asked for better

Passed today with Andy, and couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor, he very quickly becomes more of a friend than instructor but always maintained his professionalism.

When driving with Andy I was made to feel very relaxed and always in a safe learning environment. When I made mistakes he would talk me through them and help me figure out what I did wrong instead of telling me out right which helped me not to make those mistakes again and how to tackle similar ones without his input.

Due to Andy’s unique and effective teaching style, he teaches you how to actually drive car not just pass a driving test, and on top of that he teaches and gives you the confidence of how to deal with tough situations on your own so you’re keeping yourself, other road users, and pedestrians safe.

Thank you Andy.

IAIN WRIGHT is a fantastic instructor

IAIN WRIGHT is a fantastic instructor. My son has aspergers and I was worried about finding the right person for him.Iain was definitely that person he has given my son so much confidence and after 46 hours driving and 2 theory tests he passed first time. Would definitely recommend this lovely man.
