I would highly recommend Colin for driving lessons. Patient and knowledgeable guy and an excellent commincator. He has his teaching system down to a T but is always adapting and coming up with new cues and teaching points to better communicate what he's looking for. He has also been very good at working around my awkward work schedule to get lessons booked in. Can't recommend him highly enough

An excellent driving instructor who can take you from never having driven before to passing your test. Colin is a focused professional who will adapt the course to your needs and rate of learning. I had my lessons over the course of 4-5 months and always made steady progress with my driving skills and confidence on the road. Always very easy to get hold of, very organised with the content of the course and very patient during lessons. Passed first time after my lessons with Colin.

Colin is a great driving instructor! His explanations were always clear and to the point, he helped me pass my test first time through his structured lessons and he always gave helpful feedback so that I could improve. Thank you very much Colin!

I've had an excellent experience learning to drive with Colin. I was quite nervous about the prospect of driving, but lessons with Colin have really helped build my confidence! He is very knowledgeable and encouraging, and his car is smooth and easy to drive. Passed today and couldn't have done it without him! Would whole-heartedly recommend!

I just passed my driving test today after learning how to drive with Colin. As a non-UK native, learning how to drive on the left side of the road was worrying me. Colin erased all my doubts at the very first lesson. He is a brilliant pedagogue, very clear instructions, thorough briefings (and debriefings), very patient. He's comfortable telling you what is wrong, and is always fair and tells you what is right. More importantly, Colin cares a lot about his students. He will make sure you have booked your lessons, that you have booked your tests, that you have everything you need. He will even clear out some bushes on parking lots before you go on your test, just in case you come back to park there! Last but not least, the car is really good. It's a modern Audi A3, great condition and maintenance, easy to use and very forgiving. No matter your age, if you're young or 30+ like me, just don't think twice if you want to learn how to drive or refresh it, go with Colin!

I would highly recommend Colin as a driving instructor. He took me through my lessons in a very thorough, patient and comprehensive manner, covering all areas in the necessary depth. Colin’s lessons and mock tests left me feeling fully prepared and confident for my test, allowing me to pass first time, with no private practice outwith lessons. If you’re looking for an instructor, I would look no further than Colin at Driving Lessons Edinburgh.

Colin is an excellent driving instructor. His instruction is clear, he’s patient, and he’s easy to chat to, which made lessons feel relaxed and enjoyable. Each lesson was well structured, and I always left knowing exactly what I needed to improve on and how we’d be moving forward the following lesson. I passed first time, but the real testament to Colin’s teaching is the confidence I now have to drive independently and safely. I’d highly recommend Colin to anyone learning to drive in Edinburgh!
