Driving with lara

Lara from the start was so understanding and easy to talk to. Knew every little detail to keep my driving at a standard I didn't think it could ever reach, she's outstanding and did anything she could for me to pass. The best instructor I could have gotten, she was an absolute dream.

Passed my driving test with Tam

I recently just passed my driving test after doing a 40 hour intense course with Duncan’s driving school , I can’t thank my instructor Tam enough for his time and effort he put into me , he believed in me from the very start when I couldn’t vision the end goal , he is so calm and he actually takes his time to explain every single thing you do , even if you make mistake’s he doesn’t get annoyed at you , he just talks to you calmly about what happened , I couldn’t recommend this driving school anymore if I tried , thank you so much Tam , such a nice genuine guy that wants all his students to succeed with there driving , thank you so much again it was an absolute pleasure doing my driving with you !

My instructor was Eddie and he was the best! Super patient and calm but gives you good constructive criticism to improve your mindset and learning. He involves you in your own learning and is reliable and easy to book in future lessons. I just passed yesterday and not sure I would be as confident without his advice and support. Eddie and everyone at Duncans Driving school also put in loads of links in WhatsApp groupchat for theory test studying and helpful tips and videos.

My experience with this driving school…

My experience with this driving school was amazing I have had previous instructors but all the things they do to help you feel confident and ready like doing a get lost drive where you are taken out somewhere and then you need to make your way back home by your self I feel it made my realise that I am a good driver and I know what am doing also having longer lessons helped mostly the one the night before. Also being able to do mock test with a different teacher was good test for me .Overall the driving experience was great and I passed with 1 minor so definitely good. Thanks

Hiya I’m Daniel and I had been with Sophie from this Driving School for about a year. I had the rough patches everyone has when learning but nothing was too much for my instructor to help me through it. I passed first time and I couldn’t have done it without the help of my instructor, im very thankful and it was a great experience learning with you guys :)

Duncan’s driving school- Driving Instructor

Duncan’s driving school- Tam and the team, made my journey to becoming a Driving instructor enjoyable, inclusive and supported the whole way through, I was made to feel part of the team from the beginning and the pool of experience and knowledge was very much needed, super helpful and appreciated!

I could not have asked for a better support network/ Driving school to make this dream a reality.

Thanks Tam and the amazing Team!
