I done my lessons with Sophie, she was really helpful and felt like I was progressing a lot every lesson. When I was getting ready to sit my test she kept me at ease and made me feel comfortable so I would 100% recommend her for learning how to drive , great instructor 😀

Amazing training provider!

I joined the driving school halfway through my journey to becoming a fully qualified instructor.
I have been supported throughout my journey to passing the last of my exams and feel confident the support and encouragement will continue through my career.
I have always been felt reassured and not felt silly when asking 101 questions!
Thomas has been a massive support and always there whenever I needed help. Gordon has been a fantastic teacher and guided me through how to develop into delivering great lessons too!
I would highly recommend Duncan’s Driving School as a training provider!

Comprehensive refresher driving lesson

I have booked a refresher driving lesson, which has been comprehensive and I was given the right amount of detail for my level of skill. The instructor was very encouraging which helped me to become more confident, a few days after my lesson I have successfully completed an 85 mile drive.

I had a 3h refresher lesson with Thomas and it was brilliant! My confidence has been super low since getting back into driving and he was incredibly patient and guided me through issues and areas of improvement calmly and skilfully. Feeling way more confident after the lessons and would fully recommend

After years of on and off lessons due…

After years of on and off lessons due to not finding the instructor for me, I finally found Tam who has been nothing but amazing.I found him so patient with me and I couldn't fault the way he taught . If you are new to learning or have not been comfortable with other drivers, Tam is definitely worth getting in touch with. He went out his way to fit lessons in for me around my job and my childcare and went above and beyond.

Tam - Amazing instructor

I can not thank Tam enough for getting my daughter through her test. He was accommodating and reliable throughout her time taking lessons. He supported her as her confidence had grown whilst driving and now passed her test.
Thank you
Tam 😀

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…

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.
