Previously found it difficult to find a driving instructor that suited me but as soon as I met Ryan, I knew he was the right person. He has been amazing since the first lesson, very knowledgeable, great tips, calm, patient and makes you feel at ease. He has given me confidence behind the wheel and I passed my test with no minors😱 Thank you so much for all your help and positivity!

I’m delighted to say I passed my driving test first time on Monday. Ryan has been an excellent teacher! He made me feel confident and safe on the road. With his patience and relaxed character he helped me progress on my weakest points. 100% recommended

R. C.

Greg is a excellent instructor - friendly, calm and a great teacher. He made sure I knew all the possible test routes before my test, explained things in ways that were easy to understand, and never had me take any lessons I didn't need. I'd recommend Greg to anyone!

Passed my driving test first time today and wouldn’t have been able to do it without Greg. He is an absolute ⭐superstar⭐ of a teacher and driving instructor. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Makes you feel at ease, gives great instruction and sees areas where you need to improve and works with you to build confidence and ability. He is such a wonderful teacher. Thanks a million Greg - couldn’t of done it without you!

I have had previous driving instructors, but none are at the same level Ryan at Able is at. Exceptionally personable, but also extremely professional and knowledgeable. Very calming in difficult situations on the road, and patient at all times. Ryan is easy to get along with, and I would recommend him to anybody looking for lessons! I passed my test with 0 minors all thanks to Ryan!

Just passed my test first time with Greg from Able as my instructor. He has been brilliant with me throughout my lessons and it will be a shame not to see him every week! He gave me the tools I need to be able to drive safely and I loved his teaching techniques. Highly recommend!

C. C.

Having tried a few different instructors in Edinburgh, Greg from ABLE was the best instructor I’ve come across! He prepares you well and makes you feel confident, adjusting his teaching techniques to suit. Couldn’t recommend him or ABLE more and passed first time :) will miss the chats with him too!

J. P.

I have had an excellent experience with ABEL and my instructor Ryan! Ryan was extremely calm, friendly and prepared. He has really helped me to boost my confidence on my driving refresher course. I highly recommend Ryan, he’s the best instructor I have had!

I cannot recommend Greg enough. After a few goes with different instructors over the years I decided it was finally time to put on my Big Girl Pants and get my car licence. I am terrified of tests and had had an instructor previously who was abrupt and the opposite of reassuring. I am very glad I read the reviews on here and asked for Greg. He is observant, patient and reassuring. I finally have a licence and just bought my first car. Not only did I pass (to my shock!), but I feel confident driving and still use some of the key things he taught me, which really help me as a new driver. If I can pass a driving test, believe me- you can, too. Especially if you ask for Greg! ;)

Ryan was a great instructor, his attention to detail and what he describes as being pernickety led to me passing first time with only 3 minors. He explains road rules and techniques very clearly and is very helpful when things need adjusting. He sets the bar high for his learners and the results speak for themselves.

N. M.

I cannot recommend Ryan's driving lessons highly enough! Right from the first lesson, he helped me gain confidence behind the wheel and supported me whenever I had any questions, all while remaining patient! I couldn't have passed my test without his help and support!

E. R.

I had my lessons back in February with Ryan and he has been great. Very calm and easygoing…Ryan have helped me a lot and I’ve felt more confident with my driving skills. highly recommended!

H. G.

Roger was a great instructor. I had previously tried to learn to drive and found I was a very nervous driver. Roger was very good at keeping me calm and very patient with me when it took me a while to pass because of bad nerves on tests. I'm delighted to say I have now passed and couldn't have done it without the chilled instruction of Roger.

J. H.

Just passed my driving test first time with Ryan Tarbett. Great instructor, I started as a beginner knowing absolutely nothing, and now I can drive with confidence. Ryan is very flexible with lesson timings and frequency: I did two lessons a week for around 5 months which he was very happy to oblige. He is calm and confident and dealt with the initial driving anxieties I had very well. Thanks Ryan, couldn't have asked for a better instructor!

M. S.

Recently Passed my driving test with the help of Ryan. Who made it really easy for me to get better and better each week. Would highly recommend him to anyone who is needing an instructor👍🏼

M. H.

I learned to drive with Ryan for 3 months, he straight away put me at ease and helped me build my confidence while driving. He supported me when I wanted to focus on specific types of driving or maneuvers and was always patient and gave great tips. I passed first time with 4 minors, THANK YOU RYAN!

R.

Highly recommend Greg from Able - he was fantastic! He has an ideal way of teaching, really calming with the perfect mix of reassurance and coaching as needed.

R.

Greg is amazing !!! Highly recommend Able Driving School!! Greg taught me a lot, increased my confidence, his teaching methods were brilliant, he genuinely cares how you do and also helped me learn really quick before my test! I recommend him if you are really serious about your driving and need assistance before your big day! Thanks Greg !! Thanks Margaret for helping during really difficult times with my theory and sitting by me teaching everything before my test what an amazing woman and great chats !

C. M.

Alex was a great instructor, he gave me everything I needed to pass my test. Cheers again for all your help.

I have just passed my driving test first time with Joana! Joana was a great teacher, very calm and supportive when I was nervous. She gave me the skills and the confidence to learn to drive and I made a great friend along the way too. If you are thinking of booking make sure to ask for Joana, you’ll not regret it!

Highly recommend ABLE driving school. From Margaret at front desk who is friendly and welcoming to my instructor Greg who was fantastic. Helped me all the way. Passed test 1st time. Greg was patient and polite kept me calm all way from 1st lesson right up to test. At 43 and bit nervous I cant recommend ABLE enough for learner drivers of all ages. Thanks again guys.

J. G.

I could not recommend ABLE highly enough. I used two different instructors before I started my lessons with Greg. I was very nervous about driving and I did not enjoy it. Greg helped me believe that I can do it and I did! He would always put me at ease, which helped me relax and actually enjoy the driving! Not only he was explaining the procedures to me in a way it all made sense, but he was also very accommodating with the times/days for my lessons. Thank you Greg and ABLE - I can now drive! 🙂

E. G.

I have been with other driving schools and failed two tests before using ABLE. I would recommend to anyone learning to drive or even as a refresher. My instructor was Greg, who is friendly and professional. He always provides helpful pointers and how you can improve your driving. Following test routes, simple and clear instructions for driving manoeuvres. With ABLE and Greg I passed my next driving test, that says everything you need to know.

I. M.

I had 4 driving instructors before I found able driving school. None seemed to be able teach me the way in the way that makes it simple for me. However, Greg from Able was calm and had great chat, which put me at ease. Nerves was definitely the issue with my driving but with Gregs help I passed with only one minor! Greg appreciates that driving lessons are expensive and wouldn't get you to do more driving than necessary. He has your best interests in mind. I'm very grateful for all the help I received and can't recommend Able enough!

M. A.

Big thank you for ABLE School Of Motoring. I've past my theory & practical exam at my first try. Margaret at the front desk is very nice, polite & helpful. When I got sick she helped me out with last minute re-bookings & cancellations of my lessons (I was not charged for it at all witch I do appreciate). Greg was my instructor, he will not only teach you to pass the exam, he teaches you to be a safe & good driver. He showed me all the possible routes, places that are dangerous or tricky so during the exam I didn't have any problems or surprises (now that I think about it the mock tests that I had with Greg where more difficult the the real thing...so you're definitely gonna be prepared & ready). I highly recommend ABLE driving school. Cheers.

K. R.

I just would like to say massive Thank You to Able School for helping me with passing my driving test ! Greg was my instructor . Always smiling , patient and professional . Able School , you’re the best !! Highly recommend !

C. W.

Just passed my test. Greg is such a great teacher. Easy going and direct with instructions. Would recommend to anyone!!! Thanks for all the help, Calum

C. L.

I had the most positive experience with Able Driving School they are incredible, no doubt offering the highest quality of service! Margaret who works on the desk is such a lovely, kind and amazing lady! Such a nice group of people, great chats and friendly. Greg was an incredible instructor, supportive, thorough, calm yet firm, really easy to get on with too. I can't recommend him enough! Also, of course like most of their learners I PASSED first time!!! :) I'm looking forward to continuing a pass plus course with Greg. Thanks again guys!

I did an intensive 32 hour course with driving instructor Rodger. I couldn't recommend him enough, from lesson one got on with him. Very chilled yet very informative. He wont get you down about the things your doing wrong, respects that this is brand new to you and what I think is key to success in learning to drive is Rodger is very patient. I did the course over around three weeks.. which I would recommend as if not you are driving around 8 hours a day in the 4 day week leading up to the test so instead we worked up to having about 15 hours in the bag leading up to the `intensive week`. Rodger is very accommodating and always manged to get me a lesson at short notice, like a lot of people I work full time. Rodger had no compliments about starting early with me before work and finishing late with me after work, allowing me not to stress about working but also learning to drive. Margaret at the office is very friendly and accommodating, Before I booked the intensive week I still had to sit my theory. Margaret was very sweet and motivating to me about my theory and even booked the test for me which saved me 50% rather than booking online. Couldn't recommend ABLE enough and a huge thanks to them for getting me through my test first time.

K. S.

Greg at Able was absolutely fantastic. I had some previous driving experience and Greg was accommodating and honest, not pushing me to take more lessons than were necessary. The iPad animations demonstrating various scenarios were especially helpful. With his excellent teaching I was able to pass with only one minor fault (you're allowed 15) after only 20 hours of lessons. Thank you Greg!

J. F.

Highly recommended Greg from Able. A very friendly, patient and great teacher. With his professional help I was able to pass my driving test.

F. A.

Greg is the best. Everything was great and I could pass the test first time!!

R. L.

I passed my test yesterday with two minors. My success and my confidence as a new driver can be attributed entirely to Greg's fantastic supervision. Greg is a calm, patient, and supportive instructor, and I quickly gained confidence and skills under his tutelage. For anyone looking to learn how to drive and feel reassured and confident while doing it, I cannot recommend Greg enough.

J. N.

Just passed my test after having Roger as my instructor. Would definitely recommend him. I felt he took the time to explain things in a clear way and made sure I understood, he was very patient and made me feel relaxed. Thanks very much, so chuffed I passed first time!

E. M.

I have been having lessons for the last few years with various different companies but none compare to the lessons I had with David at Able. His friendly and relaxed attitude really helped me conquer my nerves and enjoy driving again. I think I learnt more with him in a week than I did with anyone else in a year! If you want a company that care more about your success than your money then I highly recommend Able. Thanks to David I have finally managed to pass my test and I am so grateful.

E. M.

Roger at Able Driving was so patient and such a good teacher. Did a 30 hour semi intensive course with him and passed thanks to his guidance. Always made me feel at ease and made things simple. Would defo recommend!

M. O.

Thank you Mansour for helping me pass my driving test. You are an excellent instructor, giving clear instructions, very good demonstrations despite my hundreds of questions. Your passion for the job shines through it's been a pleasure learning with you. Highly recommended to all. Zakaria

J. H.

I've had a couple of other driving instructors and they seemed OK at the time. However, since learning with Mansour I have discovered the joy of learning the drive - he is as calm as a zen master, and instantly puts you at ease, and is a pleasure to be taught by. The office staff are equally lovely, and I have heard nothing but good things about the other instructor, David. The routes used for practise are the same used for the local test, so another great reason to study with Able. I couldn't recommend them any more highly.

Caroline Stewart – 5 star.Thanks to Keith and Graham for helping learn to drive. Its been a long journey as I was an absolute nervous wreck driving. Passed my driving test today 1st time and feel like a confident driver now. Margaret at reception is fantastic and will help with any enquiries. Still can not stop smiling 17 February 2015

R. W.

I was taught by Paul at Able School of Motoring and I'd highly recommend him and the company to anyone who's looking to pass their driving test.

J. B.

I took 5 classes with David before I had to stop because of moving somewhere else. I was really scared beforehand, but David is incredibly patient, he explains everything really well, and I felt really safe in his hands. He always finds a way to make you feel relaxed, and I couldn't recommend a better instructor!

S. H.

I would like to say thanks for mansour I've passed my driving test with him last week mansour is the best of the best instructor I recommend him for everyone :)
