Evan was a model student and really took an interest in his lessons. He listened well to everything that was been said to him and excelled in his driving ability. As soon as he finished his EDT Lessons, I knew he was ready for the test. Congratulations Evan and best wishes for the future.

Evan McLoughlin Guinan.
One of the most friendly guys I've ever met and had the pleasure of been with on lessons, Darren was more like a good friend than just a student. We had some great laughs along the way. He was very unlucky on his 1st test back in July but today in the spills of rain in Portlaoise, he came out a winner and got his full licence. Congratulations Darren and all the very best for the future. Harvey Norman's in Naas are lucky to have such a good guy as you on their staff. Job well done.

When I met Suzanne back in June this year, she already had some driving experience having completed 2 of the EDT Lessons with another instructor. Over the course of the remaining lessons, her confidence and driving improved and was able to remember all the routines required. This morning, she got her full licence on her very 1st attempt. Congratulations Suzanne.

I first met Anthony back in March of this year. After completing his 12 EDT Lessons, he knew that he was not at driving test standard and purchased another block of lessons to bring his skills up to the level needed to pass. When I did the mock test with him yesterday, I had him down for just 4 Grade 2 faults and that is what he came back with today on his test. A 1st time pass for Anthony, I was delighted that things worked out well for him. Congratulations and best wishes for the future.

Deaglan contacted me shortly before his 1st test back in May, but unfortunately there wasn't enough time to get in enough lessons to get him to the standard required and he lost out. However, once bitten, twice shy, Deaglan was never going to make that mistake again and this time when his test date was given to him, he contacted me immediately and we got to work. We had plenty of time to cover everything that was needed to get to driving test standard so there would be no errors and this time it paid off. Congratulations Deaglan and job well done. Stay safe and keep it between the lines.

Megan was already a driver with her own car when I met her last month. However, she had a lot of bad habits that needed urgent attention to put right in a short space of time, because she already had her test booked. Despite her nerves, she worked really hard for me and picked up on things very quickly. I was really delighted for her when she passed her test on her very 1st attempt this morning. Her mother came with her for support also. Congratulations Megan and best wishes to you.

Glen started off his EDT Lessons with me back in January this year as a beginner. As time went on, I watched his confidence growing and it really helped him a lot, when he was put on the insurance of the family car. Glen also helped me out back in April of this year by volunteering to be my student for my own ADI Check Test. Thanks for that Glen. You were great that day. And today, you got the result you deserved so much on your very 1st attempt at the test. You worked really hard and kept up with all the good habits. Congratulations and best wishes.

Shane is my nephew and a sister of Stephanie who also passed her test with me way back in April 2015. He was very unlucky on his 1st attempt at the test back in June of this year. I told him to apply for it again and without my knowledge, he did a 2nd test without any practice and failed it again, so after a bit of a rough patch, he finally got today as the date for his 3rd test. He worked hard at trying to put the habits right that knocked him twice before. Because I couldn't be with him today due to a prior personal appointment, I did a 2 hour lesson with him on Saturday and wished him the very best of luck. Shane sent me the text with the good news that he passed. I was delighted for him. I asked him to send me on a photo of himself holding his cert and here it is. Congratulations Shane and best wishes for the future.

I first met Eoin in June of 2017 when he contacted me to let me know he had a test coming up in July. He worked hard to get rid of his bad habits and was very unlucky on his 1st attempt, missing it by only one fault. Due to a football injury, he was out for almost a year and only contacted me in the last couple of weeks to say he had a re-test on today. He still maintained all the good habits and today he got the result he missed out on over a year ago. Congratulations Eoin. Job well done. Best wishes for the future.

I first met Natalia back in June of 2017 when she started her EDT Lessons with me as a total beginner. Because her goal was just to be able to drive to work and home, she really gave everything she had into her lessons. She is one of the very few students who was able to remember all my little quotes which really helped her to remember important routines. I was absolutely delighted when she passed her test today. She worked so hard for her full licence. Congratulations Natalia, we had some great laughs and chats.

Kacper is another one of my TY students and a good friend of Adrian Nowak who passed with me just 5 days ago. Like Adrian, Kacper adopted very well to the EDT training and used his lessons wisely. He got in as much practice as he could between lessons and it paid off, because just like Adrian, he went out today and passed the driving test on his very 1st attempt. Congratulations Kacper and remember to always keep with the good habits. Driving is for whole life.

Gary started with me way back in November 2016 as a complete beginner with no experience and completed his EDT programme in July 2017. He then went off the grid for a good while but came back this year to complete the driving test. He never forgot any of the good habits I gave him and I knew he had an excellent shot at the test and on his 1st attempt, he went out and nailed it.

When I first met Adrian, he was one of my TY students when I was doing Road Safety lectures in Coláiste Choilm in Tullamore. When he got his Learner permit, he contacted me and we got him started on his EDT Lessons. He was very quick at learning things and showed excellent improvement on each lesson. His reward today was a 1st time pass. Congratulations Adrian, and best wishes for the future. Remember, driving is for whole life, not just licence. Stay safe.

"I started with Ray back in October, having little experience driving. Ray was fantastic in being able to manage my lessons as I was in boarding school for the period in which I was completing my EDT course. He could always fit me in to his schedule even though i had very specific times. He clamped down on my bad habits straight away and as soon as he would see an ounce of them creeping back into my driving he would ensure to correct and help me. Starting my EDT I'd never had thought that I would have been able to pass my test in six months time but with Rays help he brought me to the standard and surpassed it all while having a great laugh. I passed my test on the first go on the 11/06/2018 and I couldn't have done it without Ray. I would 100% recommend Ray to anyone who wants to pass their test and reach their full potential as a driver."

I first met Wayne back in May 2017 and he had a lot of driving experience, but unfortunately, a lot of bad habits.

She had no knowledge of driving and over the course of time and with a lot of tough love, she built up her skills to the point where she had the confidence to purchase her own car and this morning, she went out and passed the test on her very 1st attempt. Congratulations Aoife. You deserve it so much with all the hard work you put into it. You gave it as good as you got it. (LOL) Best wishes for the future and safe driving.

This meant a lot to me today because Steven is my nephew and a sister of Claire Mooney who passed her test with me a year ago this month. Steven struggled at the start of his lessons with clutch control but never gave up and having purchased his own car only 2 weeks ago, went out this morning and passed his test on the very 1st attempt.

Despite over 40 years driving experience especially in her home country of Brazil, Roseanne was one of the most nervous students I have ever met. She totally let the driving test dominate her in the build up to it and it almost got the better of her. But she is one hell of a fighter and never gave up on me and this morning, it made my day when she passed her nemesis on the very 1st attempt. Congratulations Roseanne. We had some rough rides along the way, but I was only for your own good. I wish you every happiness and good health and you will never have to do it again. Stay safe and best wishes.
