easydriveni

Easydrive is a driving school based in Belfast. John Gribbon is the founder and a driving instructor. He has taught thousands of people over the last 25 years. The school has fully qualified D.O.E. approved male and female instructors. The instructors have over 25 years of teaching experience. They are fully insured.

Learners will never be taught by a trainee instructor. The school follows guidelines laid down by DSA/DVA. It has successfully taught learners aged from 17 to 94 years old. John Gribbon works a normal working week of 35 hours. The busiest time of year is from spring to autumn. The main service is driving lessons.

Manual lessons with a single named instructor, John, form the basis of the experience described by pupils of this Dunmurry-based school. Reviews regularly refer to his patience, particularly with learners who arrived anxious or had struggled with previous instructors, and several describe passing on the first attempt after working through nerves in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

A point made in several accounts is the enjoyable, easygoing character of the lessons themselves, with pupils noting genuine warmth and conversation alongside the practical instruction, to the extent that many say they missed the weekly sessions once finished. Confidence-building features heavily in the feedback, with one pupil crediting the approach for overcoming anxiety that had affected an earlier test attempt elsewhere, and another mentioning progress after previous unsuccessful attempts with different instructors.

The teaching is described as knowledgeable and reassuring, with technique conveyed in a way pupils found easy to absorb before applying it on the road. Availability is broad, with the school operating every day of the week from nine in the morning until half past seven in the evening, giving flexibility for lessons around work or study schedules. Based at Glengoland Park in Dunmurry, the school's reputation among its pupils rests heavily on this personal, encouraging style of tuition.
