Laurel Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I went to Laurel Driving School after already doing 12 lessons with a previous instructor and failing 1 test. George was excellent for giving constructive criticism to improve my driving ability and to knock out some of my bad habits I had picked up, and provided excellent notes on techniques to use during your test. Thanks to George, I was able to pass my second test. As well as all that, George was very kind by offering to help me when my car needed fixing up (replacing battery/wipers etc.). I highly recommend Laurel Driving School!
Thank you very much David, you put in your best effort during and between lessons to meet our set objectives and the result was well earned. Congratulations once again happy Christmas to you
Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test thanks to George helped me build my confidence as I was very nervous driver. He's very patient and professional and I can't thank him enough for all his help. Would definitely recommend him for lessons
Thank you very much Emer, I'm delighted for you. Congratulations
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Laurel Driving School any more! George has an excellent blend of patience, expertise and knowledge to help you pass your driving test. He was always on the other side of the phone about any Questions or queries I had whether it be about the driving test or general car questions. Wouldn’t have passed my test without him! 10/10
Thank you very much Cian, best of luck and congratulations on passing your test

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my 12 lessons and couldn’t be happier with my experience. From day one, he was patient, professional, and really made me feel at ease behind the wheel. He provided clear, constructive feedback after each lesson, which helped me improve quickly and feel confident on the road. His teaching style is relaxed but thorough, making even the more challenging parts of driving much easier to tackle. I would highly recommend Laurel Driving School to anyone looking to learn how to drive with a reliable and encouraging instructor!

Thank you very much Martha
Fantastic experience: For the longest time, I have been afraid of driving, well also would just think why learn when I don’t have a car until someone told me it’s a a life skill. Several years later on a whole different side of the world, I decided to finally give it a go, ( to be fair, nothing beats driving in Kampala, but we’ll figure that out when the time comes ) let’s conquer Galway first. NOTHING would have prepared me for the steep learning curve, I first insisted on learning Manual and later switched to Automatic. Many weeks later, I can’t believe the progress I have made ( not jinxing my exam here) but really proud of myself. Also my instructor has been so patient and kind and supportive. Love his affirmations whenever we are driving “That’s the stuff!” “Yaaasssss”. He also shared several videos and other learning resources. This is an appreciation post for you George! I wouldn’t have done this without you! Thank you
Thank you very much, and yes you have come along such a long way to become the competent driver you now are. We'll stay in touch and get you over the line on test day
Fantastic experience: George is a patient, knowledgeable and honest instructor who will meet you wherever you are in your driving journey and and help you reach your goal with compassion and push you just enough to get you over the line. Highly recommend him to anyone
Thank you very much Sarah and congratulations, once again, on passing your test
Fantastic experience: I am absolutely happy for choosing George as my driver instructor. George is kind, always encouraging me, patient and very competent to give me orientation and techniques to improve my drive skills. I passed my drive test after taking 3 classes with him (I had failed before with another person). I can't thank him enough, I strongly recommend Laurel Drive School. Don't hesitate to call him, he will support you driving and also sending you instructional videos and tutorials. He is brilliant. Thanks George! I really appreciate you!
Thank you very much I'm delighted for you that you got the result you deserved today and congratulations

Fantastic experience: The instructor was patience with me. He gave very detailed oriented feedback and was always available for driving advice and driving queries. He always went the extra mile. I would highly recommend.
Thank you very much
Fantastic experience: Laurels Driving School is simply amazing, from my very first interaction with George. I found him to be a true gentleman. He does everything he can to help his students pass the driving test. He is more than happy for you to text him with any questions at any time. I cannot speak highly enough of George. I was a very nervous driver and had an irrational fear of sitting the test. But with Georges help I really built my confidence and passed my test, first time! On the day of my test George took time out of his personal life to come and meet me and waited for me to finish the test. It has been a true pleasure learning from George. I couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you again George
Thank you very much, I'm delighted you passed and it was well deserved, don't forget to wave when you drive by

Fantastic experience: George is a very knowledgeable and competent instructor.He is very considerate of his students and their needs e.g I wanted to switch from manual to automatic and did so with no fuss or pressure.He gives excellent instructions and his feedback is concise and easy to follow.His prices are beyond reasonable for what he is offering and even though I am not doing the exam in the area, I believe that I would not find better instruction elsewhere.Regardless of manual or automatic drive, Laurel Driving School will give you excellent instruction and deliver confidence and fluent ability on the road if you apply yourself to the lessons given.
Thank you very much Cian, keep in touch and if you need any help or advise going forward to help further prepare for your test just drop me a message. Best of luck in your driving test and in your new career.

Fantastic experience: I did my 12 EDT with another instructor who did a terrible job teaching me how to drive so I did some lessons with George and everything quickly fell into place and I passed my driving test on the first attempt! I definitely wouldn’t have passed without his help! George was patient and excellent at communicating clearly what I was doing right and wrong while driving, so I was able to learn quickly and break my bad habits. He was also very accommodating when I wanted to book a pretest but our schedules conflicted. I highly recommend Laurel driving school to everyone and strongly encourage you to do the 12 EDT with George!

Fantastic experience: George has helped me massively with my confidence in driving and his expertise not only helped me get rid of previously unnoticed bad habits but also allowed me to thrive in high-pressure scenarios that are crucial for both passing the test and being a confident driver!

George's unwavering patience during pre-test preparations worked wonders in calming my nerves before the actual test. I wholeheartedly recommend George and Laurel Driving School to individuals of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned drivers. George's guidance is invaluable!

Fantastic experience: Passed my first driving test all thanks to George who really gave me the confidence I needed. I was a wreck days before my test but George was always there when I had any questions or needed any advice days before my test.

I highly recommend anyone doing their first lesson with him. Thanks again George!
