About Us

Meet Your Instructor

We are a small family-run business operating from Greystones to Wicklow town

Our family consists of two professional driving instructors. We pride ourselves on our standard of teaching, and the goal is always to help you become a confident, skilled, and safe driver. Adapting to your learning style with respect and encouragement, together we can build the calm and competence you need to pass your test and drive independently for life. Any instructors we work with are known to us personally, are Garda vetted every two years, and are RSA-approved and enthusiastic about teaching.

Any instructors we work with are known to us personally, are Garda vetted every 2 years, and are RSA-approved and enthusiastic about teaching. We have meeting points in Greystones, Kilmacanogue, Kilcoole, Rathnew, Newtown Mount Kennedy and Wicklow Town. All of these places have appropriate areas to start your driving lessons. If you need to be picked up from another, nearby location, this can be arranged for a small fee or the time taken to get to an appropriate place will be included in your lesson.

Testimonials

Paul is an incredible instructor. I had left the country for 10 years and forgot how to drive. I was very anxious in the car and Paul was incredibly patient and a great teacher. He made me feel very confident on the road and was great to chat with too! 10/10 could not recommend more.

Love Paul. I hadn’t driven in Ireland for more than 30 years and my wife never had driven here. It took Paul just a few weeks to iron out most of our bad habits. And extremely patient too. Can’t recommend enough.
