I first met Michelle back in March of this year when she came to me as a new EDT student. A very pleasant and polite young lady whom I liked from the very beginning. Due to a very bad dose of flu which caused her to fail the mock test on Friday, Michelle came back fighting this morning and ready to give it everything she had. What an absolute joy it was to see her pass the test 1st time out. Congratulations Michelle and Merry Christmas.

Despite the Dublin address, Adrian originally comes from Portarlington. I first met him way back in July this year and to give you the level of dedication this man gave to his lessons to get everything perfect for today took 20 lessons. Adrian really worked so hard for today, and I was so thrilled when he passed 1st time. Congratulations Adrian. A very polite and genuine young man who I wish all the very best of luck to for the future.

"Where other instructors failed, Ray succeeded. I didn't think in a million years I'd pass but Ray made sure of it. The personal interest he takes in each students success is unrivalled and gave me the confidence to do what I thought was impossible. Thank you Ray!"
Adrian Murphy.
When I first met Amanda, she had told me that she did the driving test years ago and failed it. We actually started training in Portlaoise, but thought Tullamore would be a better structured town for the test. An excellent driver with many years experience, but very nervous. She must have said the term, "I am sick" so many times, that we laughed so much. I knew when I did her mock test yesterday, that unless there was an absolute disaster, that she would pass her test 1st time with me. I was really proud of her today, that she conquered her fears and just went and done it. Congratulations Amanda. Lovely lady who is also my neighbour.

"Absolutely fantastic teacher. You made me feel so relaxed and comfortable taking lessons. Having sat my test in Portlaoise years ago and failing, I was absolutely petrified of doing it again but you had every faith in me. I would highly recommend you to anyone who has a test coming up or anyone starting to drive. Thanks for believing I could pass today because I wouldn't have done it without you, and you'll never have to hear me say "I feel sick" ever again"
Amanda Hughes.
Ciarán had been with me from the very start of his EDT Lessons and I watched him grow in knowledge with each lesson. An absolute genuine, polite and well mannered young man who I always got on well with. I was absolutely over the moon for him today when he passed his test on the very 1st attempt. Not only was this a great Christmas present, but also a great birthday present for him. Congratulations Ciarán. Very well done.

You could not meet a more genuine and sound fellow than Morgan. From the first time, I met him, I liked him from the start. We got on so well together throughout all of his EDT Lessons and every lesson was always a laugh. I couldn't have been more happier today to see him pass his test 1st time out. He worked really hard for it and was a pleasure to teach. Congratulations Morgan. Buy the Xbox One and we'll hook up online. Haha.

An absolute genuine and soft spoken man. Arun has been with me from the very beginning and was always asking questions on every EDT Lesson which is what I love to hear because it tells me students really do take the driving test seriously. When I did the mock test with him yesterday, I knew unless there was a disaster, that he would pass his test 1st time today. Congratulations Arun. You worked hard for it. Best wishes for the future.

An absolute lovely lady who was with me from the very beginning. Rebecca is the wife of Eamonn who passed with me back on 10th July this year. (See photo above) Rebecca completed all of her EDT lessons and then took time out to have her little baby girl and came back with all the good habits still there. The result was a 1st time pass for her this morning. Congratulations Rebecca and I wish you and your family every happiness.

I first met Jakub way back in April of this year and I was immediately impressed by his polite and kind manner. An absolute joy to work with, Jakub put everything into his lessons and really took on board what I was telling him. I did a mock test with him yesterday around a tough route and could only find 3 faults against him. Today, on his very 1st attempt, he came back with only 2 faults. Congratulations Jakub.

Singa had been with me from the very start when she began her EDT Lessons. A lovely lady who I got on so well with. She always tried so hard on her lessons and when things went wrong, we would just have a laugh. However, this afternoon, everything was serious as Singa was concentrating so hard and it paid off, because she passed her test on her 1st attempt.

A wonderful lady who I met through her brother Caleb who passed his test with me in April this year. Florence put in a lot of work with her lessons and because she is a nurse over in England, she would book her lessons in advance of coming home. She wanted so badly to pass this test like her brother and today, on her very 1st attempt, her dream came true. Congratulations Florence and best wishes for the future.

I'm so glad I took my lessons with you. I would definitely be recommending you to all my L friends. A BIG THUMBS UP TO 1RS."
Florence Ajayi.
Colm had been with me from the very beginning when I first issued him with his logbook for the EDT Lessons. As he underwent his training, his confidence grew and as a result was able to get his own car to practice which proved a valuable purchase. He constantly maintained the good habits shown throughout, and this proved so priceless, because this morning, Colm passed his test 1st time out. Congratulations Colm.

Jonathan had been very unlucky with his driving test on 2 previous occasions with different instructors and each time observations were letting him down. So I introduced him to my methods of teaching to help him remember what he needed to do on the day of his test, and today it really paid off. Jonathan came back with only 3 marks against him. I was really happy for him. A lovely genuine guy. Congratulations Jonathan. Well done.

I first met Barry back in April when he started his EDT Lessons. A very polite and genuine guy, I got on with him right from the beginning. I really enjoyed the lessons with Barry as he was very quick to learn new things and this stood to him today. And in the spills of rain that fell today, Barry went out and nailed his test 1st time, just in time before he travels to Edinburgh, Scotland. Congratulations Barry and best wishes for the future.

As you can see from the photo, Tamsyn was a little camera shy, but sent me this beautiful card and chocolates. A real down to earth bubbly personality with a hearty laugh, she worked hard throughout all of her EDT lessons and manoeuvres. When she passed her test 1st time today, I was delighted for her.

You Rock 1 Rock Solid... best patient instructor ever, Thank you for the best lessons ever. Much appreciated."

I first met Paul back in June when he done a 2 hour introductory lesson with me, and as he admits himself, had a lot of bad habits that needed urgent attention. Paul was wonderful to work with and remembered everything that was been shown to him and put in 100% on every lesson. An absolute gentleman and very polite, it was the perfect result for Paul when he passed his test 1st time this morning. Congratulations Paul and best of luck.

I felt very relaxed with him, and his teaching methods are fantastic. I can't thank Ray enough and if you're taking a test or lessons then he's your man. THANK YOU SO MUCH."
Paul Curley.
Eamonn has been with me from the beginning and completed all of his EDT Lessons and manoeuvres and even a mock test yesterday. A man who was always willing to learn and put everything into each and every one of his lessons. We had some great laughs especially with XBox.

"So thankful to Ray for all he has taught me. Had been a learner driver for years and developed a lot of bad habits. But Ray had me up to speed in no time. Passed my test with him first time. I can't say enough good things about Ray. He's an absolute gentleman and a brilliant instructor. His lessons flew by, he has a great systematic approach coupled with superb knowledge. This promoted confidence and completeness in me prior to my test. He has that quality that all great teachers have, he can get across his point to you and make you understand it very easily. He genuinely cares about his students and showed up on the day to accompany me to the test and he waited for me to come back. If you are doing your test, do it with Ray, no better man. Thanks for everything."
Dr. Eamonn McMackin.
I first met David only back in June when he contacted me and said his test was approaching. What made this experience more real for him was the fact that while his driving test was on this morning, he was bound for Australia this evening at 5.00pm. It was now or never to get through the test, so after a good few lessons and a mock test, David was finally ready. I'm so glad he achieved his full licence on his 1st attempt. Congratulations David and I wish you every success in Australia. Job well done.

A bright, bubbly and down to earth lady who was so nervous in the run up to her test. Heather put in a lot of practice on her own in between lessons and was so determined to pass her test.

Ray was very patient and explained things in a nice calm friendly manner .The lessons flew in as Ray makes you feel very comfortable on the road and teaches in a format that nervous drivers would be at ease. I’m happy to say I passed with flying colours from the tools in which Ray explained and showed. I’d highly recommend Ray from new drivers to experienced drivers that need to get that full drivers licence."

As many of you may have guessed, Sarrah was extremely camera shy but asked for her Certificate Of Competency to be used on the website instead.

"I wouldn't know where to begin. I booked my driving test without any lessons whatsoever. After doing the introductory class, Ray got me to push my test out another month. Did 7 lessons including all the manoeuvres and a mock test the day before the test. I failed my mock test with Ray but he was very kind and only had the best intentions in mind. After knocking off my bad habits and telling me where I was going wrong, I passed the test first time round today. I could go on all day about Ray and how amazing he was. You just have to see for yourself. So don't think twice about giving him a ring. Gave him a massive hug walking out the test centre. Best teacher I ever had."

All of my students mean so much to me and always will, but for Stephanie, this meant the world to me because she is my gorgeous niece who I love to bits. It was a long road with a lot of hard work, but Stephanie stuck with me from the start and even though we are related, I still had to be very firm and strong with her because I didn't want her to fail. And she didn't let me down because this morning on her very 1st attempt, at only 19 years old, Stephanie passed her test and I was so happy for her. Well done pet. xxx

This lady put in a good bit of time and effort with me and there were times when I was pushing her so hard she felt like giving up, so I would push her some more.

Now living in Ireland, Joe had to undergo the 12 EDT Lessons along with both of the manoeuvres and he also did a mock test with me. I was delighted for him when he passed 1st time this morning. A very nice guy whom I enjoyed his company on the lessons and listening to his adventures in the USA. Well done Joe.

"I want to thank you Ray for your help and patience with my driver training. You are very good at mixing constructive criticism and explanations in your training. Thanks again, and I will keep your card and recommend you when I can".

Karen first contacted me way back in September when I did a 2 Hour Introductory Lesson with her and then didn't hear from her until mid December when she told me that she really wanted to try for her test in Tullamore. The amount of work and effort she put into each of her lessons was a credit to her. She worked really hard at trying to kick old habits and she did. The icing on the cake was this afternoon when she came out of the office with her well deserved full licence. Congratulations Karen.

"Thanks so much for everything Ray. Having failed my driving test the first time it took me a while to work up the courage to do it again! So when I got my driving test date this time I decided to contact Ray and I am so glad I did. Ray is an excellent driving instructor who really goes above and beyond for his students. I'm delighted I passed my driving test and I couldn't have done it without his help and encouragement! I would highly recommend Ray to anyone, thanks again!"
