Ladybird

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Elaine from Lady Bird Driving School in Swords. She is an amazing teacher❤️. I started out as a very nervous driver who had taken time off from driving after my initial 12 lessons with another driving school as I felt not ready and unprepared. When I found Elaine, I felt more confident than ever after only completing my first lesson with her. Her patience and calmness put me at such ease. I wouldn’t have passed First Time without her. I’ll be recommending her to all my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: I had Elaine as my driving instructor and I could not recommend anyone better, she is an amazing teacher ❤️ I booked in with her a year after failing a previous driving test. She boosted my confidence in driving to finally sit another driving test which I then passed. Elaine was extremely patient and so kind which made it so reassuring

You can't go wrong as long as you follow her advice. I highly recommend Ladybird! And Thank you again for helping me learn and succeed!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a driving school look no further. My instructor was Elaine and she is truly the best. Having failed a driving test many years ago ( with a different driving school) I had no confidence in myself. It is thanks to her that I have a driving licence now. She always made me feel comfortable and her knowledge and ability to teach is exquisite. I can't recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: As a mother of two daughters who decided they wanted to drive at 18yrs you can imagine I was apprehensive but I cannot recommended Elaine highly enough she is an amazing safe and solid instructor. Her dedication to achieving the best results was clearly evident and right up until the moment of the test supporting the girls. Her genuine delight when the younger girl passed her test this week shows her true passion for the work and for achieving the best results. Both girls passing at 18yrs following their 12 lessons with Elaine. Thank you so much Elaine you are a great instructor and a genuinely interested person. Thank you Celine

Fantastic experience: Did 3 lessons and a pre test with Elaine and I passed 1st time she was an amazing help. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I booked two mock tests 2 weeks prior to my driving test and they were extremely helpful, could not have passed first time (finglas) without them. I highly recommend LadyBird and Elaine (my mock examiner) to anyone who has their test upcoming soon.

Fantastic experience: I'm really glad I chose Ladybird Driving School as I was coming off a terrible experience with an instructor prior to that. And the difference was like night and day. I had an anxiety for driving, but my instructor Eleine put me at ease from day 1. She was super understanding and wouldn't force me to do anything I wasn't comfortable doing. She was excellent at explaining all the little things a good driver needs to know. She was firm but forgiving and every time game tips on what to work on to improve my driving skills. And I'm proud to say I passed my test today 19.10.23 first time and in an area I'm not familiar with at all! Thank you, Eleine, I couldn't have done it without you :)

Fantastic experience: I did my 12 lessons with Elaine, aswell as a few pre tests, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is so positive, reassuring and knowledgable, and I definitely wouldn’t have passed without all the her help.

Fantastic experience: Elaine is hands down best instructor out there. From how thorough she is to how nice and helpful and positive she is I wouldn’t have been able to pass without her. Can not recommend someone more.

Fantastic experience: I did all of my lessons with Elaine, including pre-test lessons. She made me feel so at ease and gave me so much confidence in my driving ability. Elaine is such a genuinely lovely person too, I really couldn't recommend her enough! Overall my experience over the course of 12+ lessons was a pleasure and I'm delighted I chose Ladybird.

Fantastic experience: I did my 12 EDT lessons with Elaine in Swords and I couldn’t recommend her enough. I was late learning to drive and was very nervous starting off. Elaine was very patient with me from lesson 1 and I grew with confidence every week.I completed my 12 lessons before Christmas and practised every week to make sure everything I was taught was retained. I finally got a date for my test and Elaine arranged some pre tests with me. I could not have been more prepared for my test due to the hours of time Elaine put into me making sure everything was covered. I passed my test first time on 23rd of June with only one mark. I went from getting my learner permit to passing my full test in less than 12 months and I would not have been able to do it without Elaine’s help. If you’re considering who to do your lessons with I could not recommend Elaine from Ladybird Driving School enough. You will learn fast and pass your test first time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: After failing my first driving test, I decided to try a different driving school and am so happy I choose Ladybird! Elaine was amazing, so patient with me and by the end of the first lesson I felt so much more confident. She was very honest about my driving and after a few more lessons and a pre test I am happy to say I passed. Couldn’t of done it without Elaine Highly recommend.

Elaine was friendly , patient and went above and beyond to help me become a safe and competent driver. She went the extra mile to check in before and after my test and gave some encouraging tips to help you settle the nerves. I’ll be recommending Elaine to anyone who is looking for a driving instructor for their lessons or pretest. Thanks so much Elaine

Fantastic experience: I passed my test today after doing all my lessons with Elaine. I can’t recommend Elaine enough. She is the BEST! She is patient and calm, which helped me with my confidence driving and to keep me calm. Elaine goes the extra mile, checking in, giving encouragement and advice before the test. She called me after my test to see how it went. She is so friendly and such a lovely person. I have so much appreciation for everything Elaine has done to assist me during my driving journey. Elaine is the choice for anyone looking for an instructor. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done.

Fantastic experience: After several different instructors and a stop start approach to my lessons over the years, I never thought I would be confident enough to pass my test. Having completed my 12 EDT lessons, I decided to take extra lessons and a couple of pretests with Elaine, which was the best decision I made and one that definitely helped me pass my test first time. I could not recommend Elaine enough, a passionate and dedicated instructor, she made me feel as ease and filled me with great confidence every time I got behind the wheel. Elaine has a great way of explaining the different areas that is easy to remember. I feel I became a better driver every time I drove with Elaine and always came away having learnt something new and made the most of every lesson. I came away from every lesson more confident than before and looking forward to the next one with Elaine. Massive thank you, Elaine!

Having gone through 2 other instructors just to try and test what style I preferred, I was blessed to come across Elaine and all the amazing reviews she already had. This one will say nothing different; she is an amazing instructor, who knows her stuff, is unbelievable friendly and funny, flexible and does everything she can to help her students, I honestly enjoyed our drives so so much. Elaine did a great job of building my confidence and my skills, and I am delighted to have passed (even though I will miss our drives and chats!)! I have recommended her to everyone who needs lessons, and anyone who gets to learn under Elaine will do so well and will enjoy it among the way! Thanks so much Elaine for the support!!!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic driving instructor that you will pass with! From my very first lesson with Elaine it was immediately clear how much she cares about her students. You will have someone with you the whole time that wants you to pass just as much as you do.

Fantastic experience: As a man in his 40's it wasn't easy taking the step to do the lessons and take the test but then I was lucky enough to learn under Elaine's guidance and passed the test first time. I cannot recommend her enough. She's friendly, has a fantastic personality and knows how to give out when she needs to. I have already recommended Elaine to friends who are about to start lessons and I will recommend her to many more. A top class instructor. 'And off we pop!'

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Elaine enough! She was Nothing but helpful, so patient with me and explained everything so well! Couldn’t have passed without her

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Elaine enough for her help! I did two pretest lessons with Elaine to get experience with a different instructor after having failed my test a couple of times. She was really helpful and clear in areas that I had previously struggled with because of a lack of understanding I had about the clutch. Once she talked time through it I got the hang of things immediately, this raised my driving confidence and ultimately allowed me to pass my test!

Fantastic experience: I cannot praise Elaine enough - I passed first time! Elaine was such an amazing instructor - made me feel at ease and confident from the beginning and always so encouraging; looked forward to each lesson. Always calm and reassuring and able to find time for each lesson around me working. Absolutely will be recommending to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I reached out to ladybird to get some pretests, and was so happy I did! Passed first time thanks to Elaine , what a star. She gave me the confidence I needed and a pep talk the night before and I smashed it first time! Huge thanks to the ladybird school and of course the wonderful Elaine!

Fantastic experience: Passed my test on my third attempt. I can't thank Elaine enough for being such a brilliant instructor and giving me confidence in myself and my ability to know I could do my test. I am so happy I have accomplished this full licence here we come

Fantastic experience: Best instructor ever, I wish I had done my 12 lessons with them aswell, used ladybird for my pre tests and Elaine was great, she helped me with the problems I couldn’t work out and gave me great advice. Would recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: Passed on my second attempt thanks to Elaine. She was so nice and helpful and explained everything real well, I never done a pre test before my first attempt but so glad I did this time around, she picked me up on things I didn't even think I needed to work on, which I why I passed. I would recommend Elaine and ladybird driving school to anyone who wants to learn to drive.

Negative experience: I did go to Angela before the lockdown for 1 lesson and she was just GREAT! Unfortunately, Angela now moved to automatic only. And I had to try somebody else. I'm in need of manual EDT lessons and I have been trying to reach out to Ladybird since August. On Sept 19, one of the instructors (Lorendana) got in touch with me and told me she would book me in on Tue 5/10, but never heard back from her as she completely forgot about me. I called her and reminded her on the previous day and she said she got the location wrong and would be difficult for her to travel all the way to Swords. However, she told me she'll take a 2 hour lesson starting from Sat 16/10. On messaging her yesterday, she's forgotten about me again. I literally had to remind her our previous conversations and she says she has nothing booked for me. This is just unbelievable! Sooner did I know about this, I would have gone to another Driving School. I have just been waiting here for a month thinking I'd get a lesson. Had very high hopes with Ladybird but the very disappointed with the poor communication.

Fantastic experience: I had some last minute lessons before my test with Elaine. There were some areas I was concerned with and she really helped me with these and also improved my confidence. I would highly recommend Elaine and ladybird driving school. I passed my test first time and definitely think these last minute prep tests helped hugely. Thanks Elaine !

Fantastic experience: I took a pretest lesson with Elaine the week before my test and she gave excellent advice and instruction in areas I needed to improve which led to passing my test in February. Thanks Elaine!

Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend Ladybird DS, very professional and personable people that drastically improved my driving over a very short period of time.

Fantastic experience: I had Elaine for a few lessons and pretests before taking my driving test in January 2020. She was incredibly patient and really clear with her directions which made it so much easier for me. I felt way more confident driving, after just a few lessons. I passed my test first time around so it must have done the trick!

Fantastic experience: Driving a number of years and had picked up a few bad habits. Thankfully after a few lessons with Elaine I was able to get rid of my bad habits, improve my driving and gain more confidence. She also sent me a list of questions which all of came up and I answered correctly. Passed my test first time and couldn't of done it without her. Highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful driving school for all lessons type. Team ladybird is just amazing.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly instructors
