"Learning Is A Treasure That Will Follow It's Owner Everywhere"
I first met Maeve back in February this year. She is an American born lady who moved to Ireland and lived in Galway for a time and did all her 12 EDT Lessons down there and also 2 Driving Tests. Both of those tests were done in manual cars and Maeve liked the idea of trying for her next test in an automatic. In total, we did 10 lessons including a mock test and pre test lesson and this morning she passed on her 3rd attempt in Tullamore. Maeve is the first student to pass her test in the new driving school automatic car. I was so delighted for her as she had just purchased her own 1st ever car earlier this week, so she can now just put the "N" plates up immediately. Congratulations Maeve and best wishes for the future and good luck with your own car. Stay safe on the roads always. Job well done.

"Ray was absolutely amazing! Having been driving on and off for 2 years and had failed tests before starting with him I had very little confidence. Since the word go everything he said made sense and gave me more confidence. Now after passing my test I can honestly say I will use the many techniques he taught while driving in the future"😊

Evan began his EDT Lessons back in the summer of July 2021 as a total beginner. A very soft spoken and polite young man, it would be very fair to say we got on well from the start. As Evan's training advanced, he managed to do what all students should do, and that was to get himself insured on the family car. The massive difference in his driving ability started to blossom then and there. Evan did his 1st test in Portlaoise in January this year and was so unlucky to miss by one mark. However, he didn't let that deter him in any way, and he applied immediately and got his second test date for this morning early at 9.15am. My son David took him for a refresher lesson on Sunday morning and I took him today for the pre test lesson and we both said that Evan would pass today with no problems and he did. Congratulations Evan and best wishes for the future. Stay safe on our nations roads. Don't lose all those good habits.

"Ray is an exceptional instructor and is very accomodating. He put a lot of effort in to get me to test standard and was always very friendly. Both him and David are very friendly and engaging instructors."

Shannon started her 1st EDT Lesson with me way back in November 2019 and then went off the grid. I didn't hear from her until December 2021, at which by this point, she was driving her own automatic car. She started back into the EDT Lessons and had them all completed only 2 weeks ago by the 10th March. She applied for her driving test immediately and was absolutely shocked to get her test date back from the RSA so quickly for today. I did the pre test lesson with her the hour before her test and knew she would pass no problem. Shannon is a sister of Aaron who also passed with me way back in June 2019. Congratulations Shannon. I wish you every sucess and best wishes going forward and keep with your good habits and stay safe on the roads. Job well done.

Godfrey began his EDT Lessons back in August 2021 and completed them in December. However, he knew himself that further training would be needed to bring him up to test standard and after a few hit and miss moments with his car in the run up to the mock test, he never got to do it. His own car was in the garage under repairs and he thought about using mine for the driving test. However, today it finally came right for him when he was told that his car was ready from the garage, and he was able to complete his driving test in that. He passed on his very 1st attempt. Congratulations Godfrey. Stay safe on the roads and remember that driving is for whole life, not just test. Keep up with the safe driving habits.

Jack began his EDT Lessons back in August 2021 as a total beginner. He got them all completed by December and applied for his test. He bought himself his own car and decided to do the test in that. I had did the mock test with him a couple of weeks ago and Jack had a test date for 17 February, but due to an administration oversight was unable to sit the test that day, but quickly got his test date again today. I did the pre test lesson with him and told him that he would pass if he concentrated hard and remember everything we did. I was delighted when Jack sent me a text saying he passed on his very 1st attempt, and then sent on this photo for the website. Congratulations Jack. I wish you every success and safe driving in your new car. Job well done, and stay safe on the roads.

"Ray was a very helpful instructor all the way throughout my lessons as he was patient and helped me pass my driving test on my first attempt. Ray was a huge help in removing any weaknesses I had throughout my lessons and would always provide me with many helpful tips which have stuck with me and were very helpful on test day."

I first met Jamie back in July 2021 when he began his 12 EDT Lessons. He was already an established driver but like so many students who drive, had a lot of bad habits to go with it. However, as time went on, Jamie was very quick to adopt all the good habits and he finished his EDT Lessons in December. He called me to say that he got his test date and he was wise enough to know not to jump into a mock test with me after a 2 month gap, so he did a refresher lesson first and then the mock test and I just knew he would pass today. Congratulations Jamie. 1st time pass. I enjoyed our time in the car together and we had some great chats and laughs. I wish you all the very best for the future and stay safe on the roads. Job well done.

"Done 12 lessons with Ray and passed my test today. He has a good attitude and always there on time and nice to deal with. Highly recommended."

I first met Ella way back in July 2021 when she started off as a total beginner. She did the first 6 lessons with me up to October and then took a break to practice everything she had learned up to that point. She resumed her lessons in January and this time she had purchased her own car and was up and running. She started moving to Tullamore and only completed her final 2 EDT Lessons only 2 weeks ago. She couldn't believe it when she got a test date so fast. I did the mock test with her yesterday and despite a little glitch that she knew she did, I only had her down for 5 blues. Today, she came back with 6 blues and I was so happy for her. She worked so hard and her knowledge of the road signs and general knowledge questions was the best I've seen in a long time. Congratulations Ella. A very pleasant young lady who always had a smile when doing her lessons. Best wishes for the future. Stay safe on the roads.

"I started out as a complete beginner and never thought I’d get to where I am today. Ray is such a patient and helpful instructor and gives you such good habits for driving that they eventually become second nature. I really enjoyed my lessons with Ray and the laughs we had along the way. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much Ray!"

Aoife started off in my car as a beginner down in the train station car park in Portarlington back in July 2021 and was very consistent with her lessons. A very pleasant young lady, she was so easy to get on with. She completed all her 12 EDT Lessons in November and at that stage, had purchased her own car in which she completed her training. She did the mock test with me yesterday and I passed her with only 5 Grade 2 blue marks. She went out on her test early this morning and passed on her very 1st attempt with only 4 Grade 2 blue marks. Congratulations Aoife and best wishes for continued safe driving in the future.

Shane started his lessons back in June 2021 and like so many students nowadays, managed to purchase his own car midway through his training to allow for that all important road practice in between lessons. When Shane completed the 12 EDT Lessons, he went on to do a refresher lesson and a mock test. I was supposed to be with him today for the final pre test lesson before his test, but unfortunately, I ended up a close contact of my 2 children who tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday. However, Shane rang me to tell me the good news and sent on this picture for the website. Congratulations Shane on passing on your 1st attempt. Best wishes going forward and stay safe on the roads. Driving is for whole life...not just licence.

Darren began his EDT Lessons as a total beginner back in February 2021. Midway through his lessons, he got insured on the family car and this was excellent for the purpose of getting in some road practice in between lessons. After the 12 EDT Lessons were completed, Darren took an extra 5 lessons and a mock test and went out and nailed his test on his very 1st attempt. Darren is the younger brother of Sean who passed with me way back in September 2011 and David who passed in July 2015. Congratulations Darren and best wishes for the future. Stay safe on the roads.
