Keith is the best driving instructor I could have hoped for! Today I have passed my driving test with zero faults on my very first attempt and it was all thanks to Keith! Always patience and supportive, he taught me how to be a competent and responsable driver and gave me so much confidence! He is really nice and funny which make the driving lesson even better! Highly recommend ASK!

S. S.

Cannot reccomend Keith highly enough. I have had 3 previous driving instructors over the past few years and have always found lessons a chore and have ended up giving up for one reason or another. Straight away with Keith it was different and lessons stopped becoming a chore. It was very relaxed and he had a brilliant way of explaining things, making it easy to understand and learn. Today I passed my test first time and it's all down to him!

Keith is a fantastic instructor. It's not about just passing the test, bit becoming a proficient driver. Passed my test first time and 9 months on feel very confident on the road thanks in large parts to my lessons with Keith. Would highly recommend.

Keith is a fantastic instructor. I was an older learner who thought I'd never learn to drive, but he turned driving into a clear, achievable process instead of a scary dark art. With his endless good humour and patience he even taught me to enjoy it! Huge thank you.

Keith was a fantastic instructor -- patient and professional, with a very thorough knowledge of Edinburgh's idiosyncratic roads, and he made driving fun! I came to the test very well prepared and confident and passed first time. Would heartily recommend!

Susan was absolutely fantastic. I came from lessons with another instructor who had dented my confidence - I would shake at the wheel. Susan took me right back to basics and gave me the confidence and skills to succeed. I felt so safe and really enjoyed her company. Highly professional and a skilled people person - I would definitely recommend her, and the school, to anyone. Myself and many of my friends have passed through her wonderful guidance and I am so glad I found her! Absolutely wonderful experience!

Susan is a wonderful instructor. She’s very calm, patient and joyful! I looked forward to every lesson with her as she always tried to explain things in the way that worked for my learning. I always felt comfortable to talk to Susan about any concerns or ask for more guidance on areas that I felt I needed to improve on. I would definitely recommend.

R. S.

Susan is an excellent instructor. Thank you for being so patient and flexible and understanding. Susan holds a very high first time pass rate because of her skills and experience and natural intuition as a driving instructor. I frequently recommend her to others as she can be trusted to guide even the most nervous of learner drivers. Very reasonably priced and definite value for money. She is personable and will listen. She is more than just a driving instructor. Susan encouraged me to take my test when I was ready and reassured me even though I was nervous and a little avoidant. I passed first time because of Susan’s guidance and expertise. Thanks to Susan I have a pretty little Alfa and a sweet no claims :)

I learned to drive with ASK 4 years ago and I couldn't have hoped for a better driving instructor than Susan. After some negative driving experiences when I was 17 (taught by a well-meaning family member) I was fairly nervous when I started taking lessons again in my 30s. Susan was unbelievably patient with me, teaching me at exactly the right pace and steadily building up my confidence along with my skills. I honestly can not recommend Susan highly enough.

L. B.

Not sure what has happened with some of these reviews but my experience with Susan has been nothing but positive. She is lovely and has taught me to be a confident and competent driver. She is really thorough in her approach and doesn't just teach you to pass the test but helps you build skills for driving in real life too such as country roads and being confident driving on faster roads. Susan has always been really friendly and encouraging and I would recommend her to anyone.

H. H.

Susan is an amazing instructor, patient, fun and prompt. I looked forward to my lessons as they didn’t feel like lessons they were more like a drive with a friend, which Susan has become. I would recommend ASK school of motoring to anyone and everyone they are brilliant.

M. M.

Great driving school. Keith is very dedicated to his job. He will teach you good basic and and can provide you with a good and honest feedback. Keith is also very chatty and funny so you do feel very comfortable when learning how to drive. Will recommend him to all my friends.

E. M.

I had a great experience with Keith, he created a comfortable atmosphere to improve and ask questions. He helped to build up my confidence and skills to become a good driver. I would definitely recommend this driving school.

M. C.

My experience with Susan was extremely positive. She is a knowledgeable instructor with an amiable personality who made my driving lessons an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Would not think twice about recommending her.

D. H.

Ask school of motoring is one of the best driving school companies out there , I would recommend them to everyone . I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Susan for many years , and she was amazing , patient and was also the most understanding person I have ever come across . She helped me get my observations in place and helped me to understand that the words " I CANT " don't mean anything as you can do anything you put your mind too . Hopefully Susan is still teaching when my little one turns 17 because there isn't anyone I trust more and respect more to get her to pass level of driving .

M. M.

Fantastic experience with Susan! After trying to learn to drive on and off for years and not having the confidence to continue, I came to Susan as an older learner. She helped me build my confidence and took me from panicking to passing in a few months. Her friendly manner put me at ease in the car, she believed in my driving ability more than I did myself sometimes and she was always very encouraging.

L. F.

I learned to drive with Keith from ASK and loved every lesson I went on! I started driving when I was only 17 and as you can imagine at a young age was quite nervous about driving a car. However, that quickly disappeared as Keith made me feel at ease, was very patient and explained everything to me in simple terms! He was very accommodating and always on time. I really can’t recommend this driving school enough, from start to finish the service I received was 5 STAR! Thank you very much!

A. B.

For the person how put 1 star. Its pity clear that you never even had a lesson with Susan. Other wise you would that Susan is the most understanding and caring person. If there was a driving school for driving instructor she would be the one leading them. I recommend Susan for anyone that is looking for a driven instructor.

M. M.

Learned to drive with Susan 6 years ago. Genuinely don’t think I would be the driver I am if it wasn’t for her. Not only did she teach me how to drive really well, she was a great person to spend that time with, very helpful with problems on the road and off the road. Always lending an ear. She’s got the patience of a saint. I’ve gone on to drive buses since leaving Susan. Never even had an accident or a speeding ticket or anything in that time. She wasn’t just an instructor but a great friend. She’s the first person I think of when anyone asks for recommendations. Keep up the good work Susan, you’re an absolute legend 😉

Keith was a brilliant instructor. He was always patient with me and made me gain so much confidence whilst driving - also passed first time!! Highly recommend 😁

I was taught to drive by Susan and I can’t thank her enough. I had an awful experience by another instructor that really put me off learning but with a lot of encouragement from my friends I decided to find some else. Susan was recommended to me by another driving instructor who couldn’t take me on as she didn’t work around my area. When I first met Susan I instantly felt comfortable in her car. I wasn’t a confident person and there has been times when I’ve wanted to give up. I’ve cried in her car, I’ve moaned in her car, I’ve had panic attacks in her car and I’ve probably nearly given her a heart Attack while driving her car but she has been patient calming and smiled through it all. I can’t thank her enough now at 36 years old I can drive and my life is all the better. Thank you Susan 😊

S. G. M.

Susan is a brilliant instructor. Very reasonably priced and She explains things really well. She is very calm no matter what you throw at her! (Sorry Susan for making you go grey at times!) She’s also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met which makes the lessons even better because you get a natter and a lesson 🤗

J. B.

I had fantastic lessons with Susan who was nothing but supportive of not only my driving but a lovely person to talk to! I was quite nervous about driving in such a big city being from a small town and she made me feel at ease with this. She was always very accommodating with my lessons even after I failed my test.

T. M.

After having a bad experience with a previous driving school I got intouch with Keith, i had zero confidence and was scared of everything on the road but Keith worked with me got my confidence right up.. nothing was to much for him and he was happy to go over things again and again AND again!! He was always on time for my lesson with a smile on his face, you can't please everyone.. but I would highly reccomend this driving school!

J. B.

Contacted ASK to check availability of lessons as I needed some asap for a new job - got a call back to inform they were sadly fully booked. HOWEVER They informed me they would forward my details onto multiple other companies to see if they could help. If this is how much care & effort they put into just and enquiry, I have no doubts that they are great instructors.

H. B.

I was so lucky to be taught by Susan! Such a caring and understanding lady that tailors all lessons to the individual’s needs. I recommend her to everyone that asks about driving intructors and have never met anyone that hasn’t been impressed. Great banter as well, which is just a huge bonus :)

M. C.

Having tried a previous instructor that didn't go to plan, changing over to ASK was the best thing I did. I can't recommend Keith enough for the witty driving lessons and professional approach in getting me ready for my test.

H. P.

Susan is the best! She is endlessly patient, calm, kind and a great teacher. I recommend her to friends all the time because I doubt there is a better instructor out there.

N. J.

Susan is an amazing instructor! So friendly, honest and makes you feel at ease from the get go. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you Susan for your patience of a saint!

d. t.

I can’t rate Keith highly enough, I never thought it would be possible to pass my test let alone get a perfect pass! his genuine ability to put you at ease, teach, have a laugh and inspire you to be better than you ever thought possible is what makes him the best out there. I honestly can’t thank Keith enough for everything.

S. B.

Great driving school, good value for money and Keith was a great instructor. Passed first time and feel very confident driving no matter what situation might occur.

L. C.

L. T.

Highly recommend Susan from Ask School of Motoring. Susan is patient and understanding and has the knack of knowing what to say and when to say it to get the best out of you! If anyone could teach me to drive, Susan could! 5 stars from me 🙂

D. O.

Keith and Susan and phenomenal. Keith has made me a more confident driver less nervous on the road and I look forward every week to my lessons and showing Betty and Aggie I’m the boss :)

K. X.

Highly recommend this school of motoring, my instructor Keith actually made me like driving, which I have been terrified of for all of my life, they provide quality experience, always professional and high standard, also lots of fun on the lessons, the best choice!

S. F.

This is the owner of ASK SOM. For whatever reason I do not know.. I cannot reply to the two 1 star reviews via Google, but what I would like to say is.. "WHO ARE YOU? " you have never had lessons from us? I feel this is some kind of scam reviews? Why have you never contacted us directly with your concerns. Are you a competitive company looking to give us bad feedback?. If you are so sure of your reviews then why are they anonymous??? Would love to know who you are and what your "legitimate!?" concerns are. Susan at ASK SOM

M. G.
