At first contact, I knew Ian would be a fantastic instructor. Every day we'd start the day with same joke "Hey dude! Don't mind if I call you dude?" Always made me laugh and now looking back was a great way to start a lesson; always making it feel like just another day driving, making my nerves disappear. That's what I liked about Ian, he completely distracted you from the fears of driving with interesting conversations, really rubbish but funny jokes and positive comments about my driving.
What I also liked about Ian was, joking aside, how straight forward he was with his explanations on how to carry out maneuvers and his concerns/feedback. Never making me feel bad about my mistakes, never talking in a patronising tone, always made sure I was happy and confident with my ability to preform maneuvers to a standard far above the passing level.
Coming to test day, he made sure that I was confident and had no reason to doubt myself. A really nice guy, fantastic instructor and an amusing amateur voice actor!
Can't thank him enough for helping me get my license first time! Wishing him all the best.
Definitely the instructor everyone needs!
